Maine South is ranked No. 2...

...in the Chicago Tribune high school football poll this morning.

Head coach Dave Inserra will open the season Friday against Schaumburg with two -- count 'em -- two quarterbacks. Sophomore Matt Alviti (6-0,175) will take the first snap but will alternate each series with junior Jimmy Frankos (5-10, 170). Inserra reportedly has no plan to name a permanent starter.

Besides the quarterback controversy, questions abound for the Park Ridge squad. Can the Hawks win a third consecutive 8A championship? Will someone end their winning streak, now at 28 games? And how will the offense fare without the production of last season's Player of the Year, Matt Perez, who scored 36 touchdowns and accounted for 2,687 yards of total offense?

Week 2 will provide an early test for Maine South, when the Hawks visit defending 7A champ Wheaton Warrenville South.

I can think of at least one blogger who will be in attendance at that game.
