| Aaron Kratochvil Height: Weight: Aaron Kratchovil is arguably the most dominating player in HSFL history. Like Jackie Robinson is given credit for breaking baseball's color barrier, Kratochvil is given credit for breaking the HSFL's no Hobart High School football player rule. Kratochvil began playing for the HSFL during the 1999 season. The HSFL decided in order to increase the competition in their games, they would allow selected high school players to play in the league. Kratochvil is by far the most famous. His arm is by far the strongest in HSFL history and his speed and legendary juking ability made him even more dangerous. Those same qualities made Krat Hobart's starting quarterback for the 2000 season. The only thing that may be more legendary than Krat's arm and jukes may be his unique dedication to the HSFL. Late in the fall of 2000 as Hobart was preparing for their sectional run, the HSFL season was still in full force and Kratchovil insisted on playing. Hobart High School Athletic Director and father of commissioner Bob Glover Jr., Bob Glover Sr. banned Kratochvil from playing in the HSFL during the Brickies' post season run. Kratochvil would have none of the ban, going so far as to not just show up to play, but actually hiding when Glover Sr. drove by the field deliberately defying Sr. Glover's ban and risking serious injury while showing a true dedication to the game. Krat's loyalty was not forgotten when hall of fame voting came around, as he finished first in the voting and was elected to the HSFL hall of fame class of 2001. Kratochvil was recruited to play college football for obvious reasons and is the only HSFL hall of famer to play college football. It was thought that Krat had played his final HSFL game, but he did make a return to the field, throwing for 6 touchdowns, running for one, and intercepting a pass in week 13. Kratochvil still appears to have a strong desire to play, but his future is never quite certain. One thing that is for certain, is Kratochvil's place in HSFL history. |
