No. 1 Mount Carmel at No. 2 Loyola. The hype had been building since August. Both teams took care of business throughout the season and arrived in Wilmette on Saturday with perfect records. Neither team had even been tested.
There were 11 touchdowns and multiple big plays from some of the area’s best players. But the crucial moment in the Caravan’s 42-37 victory came from unknown sophomore backup quarterback/punter Jack Elliott with 10:05 left to play.
