It's Week 3 in Illinois high school football...

...and you know what that means: Old School, smash-mouth football returns to the Chicago area as play in the Catholic Blue conference gets underway.

On Friday, Brother Rice plays host to St. Rita in a battle of the undefeateds, and Loyola travels to Providence in what should be the biggest test yet for the Ramblers.

On Saturday, Fenwick takes on Mt. Carmel (above) at Gately Stadium on the South Side.

Elsewhere, Glenbrook South and Maine South will each be looking for their first victories as they host non-conference opponents Deerfield and Highland Park, respectively.

Finally, Glenbard East will be at No. 1 Wheaton Warrenville South in a key Dupage Valley conference match-up.
