Lincoln-Way East, the underdog team dubbed “the kids left over at the playground,” is rewriting their season story with three straight wins, including a dominant 38-7 demolition of top-ranked Homewood-Flossmoor. Led by standout junior linebacker Ryan Manzke—whose interception return touchdown sealed the victory—the Griffins thrived in humid conditions and relentless execution. Coach Rob Zvonar praised their hard-nosed style and unity, while seniors Aidan Cavanaugh and Evan LeFevour delivered key plays. Despite Homewood-Flossmoor’s early defensive dominance and late-game touchdown, Lincoln-Way East’s discipline and grit have silenced doubters, proving that heart and teamwork can outclass talent.
