I'll be out of town...

...for Week 9, the last one of the regular season.

The Game of the Week will be No. 6 St. Rita at No. 3 Loyola on Saturday. (Ramblers should win if quarterback Malcolm Weaver, above, is healthy.)

No. 2 Glenbard West at DOWNERS GROVE NORTH
No. 4 Lincoln-Way East at JOLIET WEST
No. 5 PRAIRIE RIDGE vs. Cary-Grove
No. 7 Downers Grove South at ADDISON TRAIL
