About this Article

On a football Friday in which Grayslake North paid tribute to the armed forces in what was billed as “America Day,” it was crosstown rival Grayslake Central that came out with some serious fight. The visiting Rams fired the first shot and dictated the tempo early. But Grayslake North ultimately proved to have more weapons (think quarterback A.J. Fish’s arm and legs) in the arsenal, rallying from a 7-point deficit to cruise to a 49-7 running clock victory that maintains a spotless record (5-0) in the Fox Valley Conference Fox Division.
