The Morton Potters and the Normal Ironmen met up on Saturday January 4th in the east gym of Normal Community High School. Spectators fill little more than half the stands. The Potters hit first and last with the score a 4 or 5 point difference for much of the contest. The Potters pulled away in the final 2 minutes to rest on top of the Ironmen by 10 points at the final buzzer. #Mortonpotters #NCHSAthletics #AlanLookPhotography #Bloomington-NormalSportsPhotos
On September 15th, 2012 Jimmy Garoppolo visited Hancock Stadium at Illinois State University as the starting quarterback for the Eastern Illinois Panthers. Who knew that 8 years later he would become one of 2 starting quarterbacks in the NFL's SuperBowl. Jimmy of course is the 2nd starting Quarterback from Eastern to do well. Ten Years before, another named Tony Romo completed his senior year at Eastern. Tony went on to an NFL career with the Dallas Cowboys. Freelance photographer Alan Look was fortunate to have captured both players in action. The image of Tony Romo was taken at Eastern during the Homecoming game in 2002 against the Eastern Kentucky Colonels. The image has been used by national media and in several books. The images of Jimmy Garoppolo were both used by Upper Deck as trading cards for his rookie season.
