Glenbard North's workhorse tailback, junior Justin Jackson, was tackled for a safety, and was stopped for negative gains five times before halftime. He would eventually finish with 162 rushing yards on 26 carries. The Panthers' defense made the biggest plays. A 45-yard interception return for a touchdown by junior Mario Rodriguez changed the momentum in the second quarter and Glenbard North went on to win 31-16. -

Crystal Lake S. bests Crystal Lake C.Sep 1, 2012 1:01 AM - Lake Larson dreamt of this day since he was a little kid. In some ways, some still might look at him as that little kid, The Crystal Lake South defensive back, who features a 5-foot-7, 175-pound frame that seems even shorter in person, might be one of the shorter kids on the field.
