The 100th came Thursday when the Illinois High School Association Board of Directors upheld the ruling of its executive director that Decatur Eisenhower must forfeit its 14-12 win over BHS Sept. 26 because Eisenhower used an ineligible player.

"It (the 100th) is tonight," said Schmelzer, who -- at 101-22 over 11 seasons -- prefers his victories come on the field. "This is a win. This is something the staff and I have achieved so it's a real W."

The outcome extended Bloomington's real long regular season winning streak to 43 games ahead of tonight's playoff pairing announcements.

The result gave the Class 6A No. 9-ranked Purple Raiders their fourth straight Big 12 title at 8-0 and pushed their overall record to 9-0.

BHS star James Wade didn't play the second half when the clock ran continuously because of the Raiders' 48-0 halftime lead, but he still finished with 184 yards and four touchdowns on 10 carries. He scored on runs of 6, 75, 6 and 32 yards.

Wade "turned" his knee on his third touchdown and sat out the next series. He said he expects to be OK.

Wade believes the IHSA's ruling didn't change how the Raiders played, but did change how they felt.

"Our heart goes out to (Eisenhower)," he said. "They earned that win. We were really looking forward to seeing them in the playoffs and proving ourselves. It didn't affect how we came out and played. It did give us the confidence to get that conference championship by ourselves. We're real happy about that."

Teammate Brandon Hughes turned three Jeremy Peden passes into touchdown receptions of 16, 29 and 67 yards to reach 112 total.

"Before my third touchdown, he (Peden) told me, 'I want my 100 yards,'" Hughes said. "He said 'I'm just going to throw it up.' I told him 'I'm going to drop it,' but I caught it."

Peden, who was 4 of 9 for 122 yards, scored 10 points on six point-after kicks and one 21-yard field goal.

"I think our execution the last three weeks has been good," Schmelzer said. "Our ability to play against (heavier) opponents in the playoffs is going to depend upon that."

The Raider receivers were instrumental blockers in Wade's 75-yard touchdown run, which was part of a 28-point first quarter explosion.

"They've always done that," Wade said. "I'm never surprised. Brandon and Adrian (Arrington) get out there and block really well. I make sure I set it up for them. They'll catch eye contact with me when we're running."

University of Illinois recruit Justin Harrison of BHS added 105 yards on six carries as the Raiders gained 541 total yards to 210 for the Tigers.

BHS also saw reserve Jeremy Byrd score on a 4-yard run. Teammate Donald Brown had an interception and the Tigers lost three fumbles.

The Raiders had six scoring drives of five plays or less.

"They are not as big as they've been in the past, but they are quicker," said Urbana coach Alec Anderson after his team's fifth straight loss to BHS.

Urbana (3-6, 3-5) avoided the shutout with a 78-yard touchdown pass from Preston Williams to Antonio Adams against the BHS reserves with 51 seconds left.
