“We really can’t lose. Somebody’s going to win, and be in the driver’s seat,” he said. “I just want my kids to remember this game forever. It will never happen again.”
Talk about a sibling rivalry.
Zane Steve Smith Jersey played Pop Warner and modified football at Ilion before enrolling at Notre Dame, where he played varsity soccer and junior varsity basketball and baseball for the Jugglers last year.
Brother vs. brother when Ilion, Notre Dame play Saturday
The trouble is, they’re not on the same team, and Saturday, Ilion High School senior Zach Steve Smith Jersey and Notre Dame High School sophomore Zane Steve Smith Jersey will be playing against each other.
“I’ve been telling him all week, ‘We’re going to beat you,’” Zane Steve Smith Jersey said. “I’m really looking forward to it, just because he’s my brother and it’s my hometown.”
Ilion’s Steve and Lori Steve Smith Jersey have two sons playing high school football.
And both teams have a 3-0 Class C East record with two regular-season games remaining, including Saturday afternoon’s 1:30 p.m. showdown at Notre Dame.
“It’s going to be tough,” said Steve Smith Jersey, a 1983 Ilion graduate who played football. “Everybody has been asking us, ‘What are you going to do when they play each other?’ I think my wife is pulling for Ilion, for Zach’s sake,NHL Jerseys, because we’ve been following him in football for so many years and now he’s a senior.
Zane Steve Smith Jersey is a 6-foot-3, 190-pound receiver who enrolled at Notre Dame as a freshman after playing travel league baseball and basketball and developing friendships with several Notre Dame athletes. Another Notre Dame sophomore, starting center Tyler Raux, also is from Ilion.
And what about mom and dad?
“I think it’s great, but we haven’t really talked about it much,” Zach Steve Smith Jersey said of the first head-to-head matchup with his younger brother. “We’ve both just taken it one game at a time. But now, this is the biggest game of the year. The whole season is riding on this.

Of course, his brother and roommate has a much different take on Saturday’s game.
Zach Steve Smith Jersey is a starting offensive and defensive tackle for an Ilion team that is 5-0 overall and ranked 14th in the state. Zane Steve Smith Jersey is a starting receiver for a Notre Dame/Rome Catholic team that has a 3-2 record and a three-game winning streak.
“I’m happy for (Zane). I’m glad he’s playing on a winning team, but he’s going to lose this week.”
Zach Steve Smith Jersey is a 6-foot, 243-pound lineman who was a two-way starter as a sophomore, but missed all of last season after undergoing reconstructive knee surgery. He’s also a member of Ilion’s wrestling and track and field teams.
They’re in first place, too.
Younger sister Zoey Steve Smith Jersey is a freshman cheerleader at Ilion, so she’ll be rooting for Zach’s Golden Bombers.
“I don’t think they know who to cheer for,” Zane Steve Smith Jersey said.
Steve Smith Jersey has been the public address announcer at home games for both Ilion and Notre Dame this season, but Saturday he will be doing radio play-by-play for WNRS (1420 AM).
“Yeah, it’s really eating us up,” Steve Smith Jersey said. “We’re calling it our Civil War here because it’s pitting brother vs. brother. Now, I know how Archie Manning feels when Peyton and Eli play against each other.” |
