The magnitude of Barrington's win over Oak Park and River Forest, 39-15. (Can the Broncos beat Maine South next week?) And two come-from-behind victories, Stevenson's narrow margin over Lyons, 21-17. (Were the Patriots looking ahead to Loyola?) And Naperville Central's second-half shutout of Brother Rice, 34-21. (What happened to the Crusaders after intermission?)
