The Bradley-Bourbonnais...

...Boilermakers (who?) were probably the biggest story of the weekend (even bigger than Palatine's 49-31 win over Barrington on the road) with their stunning upset of Lincoln-Way East, 38-21. The victory earned a spot for last year's 7A semifinalist in this week's Tribune top ten, if not the Sun-Times. (B-B is ranked No. 15 in MaxPreps but conspicuously absent from Beth Long's Super 25.)

In other noteworthy games around the Chicago area, Lyons lost to Oak Park and River Forest, 27-3; Marist defeated Benet, 31-14; and Montini beat Mount Carmel, 30-26.

As for the rankings, there weren't too many surprises except that Ms. Long included Glenbard West in her top ten with two losses on the season.
