Lincoln-Way East 42, Bolingbrook 19!

I drove almost fifty miles to Frankfort last night to see the most exciting quarterback in the state of Illinois. But I didn't know his name was ... Tom Fuessel.

And in the Game of the Week, if not the Year (these things are hard to predict!), Loyola defeated Mount Carmel in overtime, 30-27.

In other games:

New Trier 31, Glenbrook South 21
Titans are now 3-3 but should finish at 5-4 and make the playoffs.

Crete-Monee 41, Bloom 6
The Blazing Trojans scored almost as many points against Crete-Monee today as they have in the last four years combined.

Glenbard West 41, Proviso West 14
Hilltoppers remain undefeated at 6-0. Are they headed for a showdown with Lincoln-Way East in the 7A final?

Hinsdale Central 34, Hinsdale South 27
The Red Devils win village bragging rights.

Maine South 51, Niles West 14
Hawks should finish the regular season 9-0.

Lake Forest 33, Libertyville 13
The Scouts are now 5-1; their only loss was to Lake Zurich on a forfeit during their school strike.

Grant 34, North Chicago 14
The Bulldogs are 5-1; their only loss came at the hands of Stevenson, 42-0 (ouch).

Lemont Thorton Fractional South 21, Lemont 20 (OT)
Both teams are now 5-1 after the Rebels upset the Indians.

Montini 49,  Immaculate Conception 0
The Broncos hand the Knights their first loss of the season.

I'll have more to say later.
