Oops! I Made a Mistake in the Route 66-Lincoln Highway Showdown: Lincoln Highway Wins

And, it was a big one. For some reason, I didn't pick up on Sterling Newman Central Catholic as being on Lincoln Highway. Sterling is on the Lincoln. And, that school won the class 2A Championship. So, instead of there being a tie with Lincoln Highway's 6A Batavia and Route 66's 5A Springfield Sacred Heart-Griffin winning championships, I now declare Lincoln Highway as the winner of the 4th Annual IHSA Lincoln Highway-Route 66 Showdown.

Winners in the eight classes (Championship games played in Dekalb, Illinois, home of NIU:

8A Naperville Central
7A Mt. Carmel (High School of NIU's Jordan Lynch who is one of the six finalists for the Heisman Award this Saturday!!! Unfortunately, they defeated Route 12's Lake Zurich to win it, however)

6A Batavia (Lincoln Highway)
5A Springfield Sacred Heart-Griffin (Route 66)
4A Rochester (Of course)  Richmond-Burton and Johnsburg are in 4A.

3A Stillman Valley (In Richmond-Burton's conference)
2A Sterling Newman Central Catholic (Lincoln Highway)
1A Lena (On US-20) out near Galena.

Wrapping It Up for Another Year. Congrats Lincoln Highway. --RoadDog
