Hiben couldn't verify if there were multiple Lake Zurich defenders who had him seemingly covered in the left corner of the end zone. http://www.dailyherald.com/story/?id=338832 http://www.dailyherald.com/story/?id=338832 Sat, 21 Nov 2009 18:06:02 CDT For the first two minutes East St. Louis made it look easy. Then Wheaton Warrenville South showed why high school football is a 48-minute game. http://www.dailyherald.com/story/?id=338846 http://www.dailyherald.com/story/?id=338846 Sat, 21 Nov 2009 18:45:31 CDT Ho-hum. Another one-sided playoff game for Cary-Grove. The Trojans, who defeated their first 3 playoff opponents by a combined 147-49, breezed into the Class 6A state championship game by downing neighboring Prairie Ridge, 40-7, at Cary's Al Bohrer Field Saturday afternoon. http://www.dailyherald.com/story/?id=338899 http://www.dailyherald.com/story/?id=338899 Sun, 22 Nov 2009 00:28:11 CDT Glenbard North's football team boasts one of the most stingy defenses in the state, but three little points were all it took to keep the Panthers from fulfilling a dream. http://www.dailyherald.com/story/?id=338855 http://www.dailyherald.com/story/?id=338855 Sat, 21 Nov 2009 22:13:13 CDT Montini's 5-4 regular season is so last month. The record that counts is 4-0, the playoff mark the Broncos will take into the Class 5A state title game after Saturday's 42-24 semifinal win over Woodstock at John L. Duffy Memorial Field in Lombard. http://www.dailyherald.com/story/?id=338888 http://www.dailyherald.com/story/?id=338888 Sun, 22 Nov 2009 00:05:55 CDT http://www.dailyherald.com/story/?id=338813 http://www.dailyherald.com/story/?id=338813 Sat, 21 Nov 2009 13:51:04 CDT Here are updates from Saturday's semifinal playoff games. http://www.dailyherald.com/story/?id=338838 http://www.dailyherald.com/story/?id=338838 Sat, 21 Nov 2009 18:53:09 CDT http://www.dailyherald.com/story/?id=338833 http://www.dailyherald.com/story/?id=338833 Sat, 21 Nov 2009 18:54:12 CDT http://www.dailyherald.com/story/?id=338841 http://www.dailyherald.com/story/?id=338841 Sat, 21 Nov 2009 18:52:09 CDT http://www.dailyherald.com/story/?id=338844 http://www.dailyherald.com/story/?id=338844 Sat, 21 Nov 2009 18:50:49 CDT http://www.dailyherald.com/story/?id=338679 http://www.dailyherald.com/story/?id=338679 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 23:37:41 CDT For both teams it's the ultimate challenge. Can Glenbard North's stout defense, boasting six shutouts, shut down Marist quarterback Mike Perish and an offense averaging 35 points a game? http://www.dailyherald.com/story/?id=338760 http://www.dailyherald.com/story/?id=338760 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 23:48:21 CDT Ties run deep between Class 6A semifinalists Prairie Ridge and Cary-Grove. http://www.dailyherald.com/story/?id=338759 http://www.dailyherald.com/story/?id=338759 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 23:47:52 CDT http://www.dailyherald.com/story/?id=338397 http://www.dailyherald.com/story/?id=338397 Thu, 19 Nov 2009 19:50:56 CDT The comparisons to 2007 are becoming awfully eerie for Wheaton Warrenville South's football team. http://www.dailyherald.com/story/?id=338418 http://www.dailyherald.com/story/?id=338418 Thu, 19 Nov 2009 19:52:41 CDT Saturday will see a first - the first time in history Montini and Woodstock will play each other in football. Somehow it seems like we've been here before. http://www.dailyherald.com/story/?id=337898 http://www.dailyherald.com/story/?id=337898 Wed, 18 Nov 2009 16:19:57 CDT Dean Schlueter will not be retained as football coach at Jacobs High School, he confirmed on Wednesday. Schlueter coached the Golden Eagles for 13 seasons to a record of 55-68. His teams reached the state playoffs four times, most recently in 2006. http://www.dailyherald.com/story/?id=338447 http://www.dailyherald.com/story/?id=338447 Thu, 19 Nov 2009 21:03:29 CDT Presenting the 2009 Tri-Cities All-Area girls volleyball team. http://www.dailyherald.com/story/?id=338761 http://www.dailyherald.com/story/?id=338761 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 23:49:23 CDT Most high school football players hoping to wear the uniform number of their favorite Chicago Bear would probably choose 34 or 54. http://www.dailyherald.com/story/?id=336621 http://www.dailyherald.com/story/?id=336621 Sat, 14 Nov 2009 19:47:39 CDT Glenbard West coach Chad Hetlet didn't like the bad penalties or poor kick coverage he felt marred Saturday's Class 7A quarterfinal. http://www.dailyherald.com/story/?id=336712 http://www.dailyherald.com/story/?id=336712 Mon, 16 Nov 2009 00:08:45 CDT Tom Zbikowski understands the lack of appreciation for special-teams players. "I still go home and get asked if I'm still playing football," the former Buffalo Grove High School and Notre Dame star and second-year pro with the Baltimore Ravens said with a laugh. http://www.dailyherald.com/story/?id=336989 http://www.dailyherald.com/story/?id=336989 Mon, 16 Nov 2009 23:24:51 CDT From opening night on August 28 to last Saturday's Class 7A state quarterfinal clash between St. Charles North and Glenbard West, the 2009 high school football season featured end-to-end action, soggy, mud-caked fields and plenty of excitement.
