Prairie Ridge's 57-7 loss to East St. Louis in the Class 6A state championship was the largest in school history, but what mattered was the Wolves getting the most out of what they had to get there.

East St. Louis was tired of hearing how it couldn't stop the triple-option. The Flyers proved a lot of doubters wrong Saturday with a 57-7 drubbing against Prairie Ridge to win the Class 6A state championship.

East St. Louis lineman Miles McVay made a promise to get back to the Class 6A title game and win after the Flyers lost in 2021. They left no doubt Saturday, scoring 57 unanswered points to beat Prairie Ridge.
