Speaking of tough schedules, how...

...about Wheaton Warrenville South? (And no hyphen, please.) The Tigers open up the 2012 season on August 25 at Glenbard West (10-1 last year), then host Maine South (also 10-1) before traveling to Naperville Central (9-4). After Glenbard North (9-4) at home they finish up at Wheaton North (8-3).

Those should be five really tough games. No wonder Coach Ron Muhitch, above, always has his Tigers in the hunt come playoff time.
