Another Quick Brogan Blip...

...from the GR Press, in case you missed the phenomonal game last Friday...

Sometimes these amazing matchups between unbeaten teams live up to the hype. Sometimes the fans -- nearly 10,000 folks crammed in the stands and sprawled on the hillsides -- get there early and stay until the decisive play.
That play, a 40-yard interception return by Rockford's Brogan Bibler with 1:25 left, sealed the win.
"Points were just brutal to come by, it was a tough battle up and down the field," said Bibler, a rare three-year starter for the Rams. "They hit hard, they came back and we tried to hit them hard, too. Hudsonville is a great team, and it's great to come out on top of this (game) one time."
The win, the first for Rockford at Eagle Stadium and the second all-time against Hudsonville, was a first for Bibler. But that does not mean the Rams have not done well.
The last three seasons, Hudsonville and Rockford have captured at least a share of the O-K Red Conference title. Since 2004, both teams have made trips to the state finals, and Rockford won it all twice.
