I'll be at a wedding tonight...

...instead of watching the Game of the Week. And no, it's not Loyola at Providence (which is a close second). It's Lincoln-Way East (No. 6 in both papers) at Homewood-Flossmoor (No. 5 in the Sun-Times; No. 7 in the Tribune).

The Griffins are 7-1 in the series, but the Vikings are the highest scoring team in the state of Illinois, averaging 55 points a game. Don't be too surprised if an air war breaks out as the contest pits two of the area's best quarterbacks (Lincoln-Way East's Blake Winkler and Homewood-Flossmoor's Tim Williams) against each other.

Can the home team upset the perennial south suburban powerhouse this year? I say, "Yes."

BOWG prediction: Homewood-Flossmoor 35, Lincoln-Way East 31.

I'll be at a good game tomorrow...
