DuPage Valley Week 6: Neuqua Valley looks for revenge against Naperville North

Naperville North (0-5, 0-4) at Neuqua Valley (4-1, 3-1)

Game time: 7:30 p.m. Friday.

The quick hit: Eliminated from postseason contention, the Huskies play for pride against a team anxious to avenge last year's loss. Neuqua seeks a better start and discipline after 146 penalty yards against Bartlett. Co-captain Zach Greenberg's pick-6 stood out.

Glenbard North (3-2, 2-2) at Wheaton North (3-2, 3-1)

Game time: 7:30 p.m. Friday.

The quick hit: Panthers quarterback Shane Conway threw 2 touchdown passes last week, adding to a strong ground attack. Falcons quarterback Luke Anthony had perhaps his best game of the season last week, throwing for 256 yards and 3 touchdowns.

Lake Park (2-3, 2-2) at Metea Valley (2-3, 2-3)

Game time: 7:30 p.m. Friday.

The quick hit: Lake Park scored a season-high 21 points last week, helped by Anthony Marino's 98 receiving yards and a touchdown. Metea's task is no letdown from last week's landmark win, led by Amiri Finner, Mo Burkley, Reggie Hill and Cayman Wilcox.

WW South (1-4, 1-4) at Waubonsie Valley (3-2, 3-2)

Game time: 7:30 p.m. Friday.

The quick hit: Like last year, the Tigers need four straight wins to be playoff eligible. Running back J.J. Johnson's return will help. More urgency, fewer miscues are the key for Waubonsie, where a healthy Tanner Westwood aids the Warriors' option ground game.
