After some dramatic wins and one narrow loss to kick off the 2026 season, no team in the state of Illinois has been as dominant over the last nine to weeks than East St. Louis. The Flyers opened postseason last Friday and like they did in the six games prior to that, they rolled as they kicked off the new part of the season with a dominant 69-0 home win over Reavis (IL). As good as the team was as a whole, no player was more impressive in that game than senior quarterback Reece Shanklin.
