Skinny: It's been a long week for Antioch, which suffered its first defeat of the season last Friday in convincing fashion. The Sequoits were shutout 34-0 by Vernon Hills. "The thing about football is you have a whole week to think about your last game and if you lost like we did, you're very anxious to get on the field again," Antioch coach Brian Glashagel said. "That game (against Vernon Hills) was definitely a wake-up call for us." - Vernon Hills not only registered a shutout but thoroughly shut down Antioch's explosive running game, which features Vinnie Holm, Sam Green and Dan Arden. At the end of the first quarter, the Sequoits had run just 3 plays, and by the end of the game had managed just 110 rushing yards. "We just couldn't get anything going, we couldn't get in a rhythm," Glashagel said. "It started with that first quarter and having the ball for just three plays. When you're not on the field, you get frustrated and it's hard to know how to attack the defense because you're not getting any chances. We need to be able to move the ball early and we also need to take better care of the ball." Antioch had 5 turnovers against Vernon Hills-North Chicago is coming off its first win of the season. The Warhawks defeated Round Lake thanks to a big game by senior running back Keenan Handy. Handy did not play football last year, electing to focus on basketball instead. He scored his first touchdown of the season against Round Lake by hooking up with quarterback Jermaine Garrett for a 91-yard passing play.
