Daily Herald Staff Report

Glenbard East (1-7, 0-6) at Naperville Central (5-3, 4-2)

DuPage Valley Conference

Game time: 7:30 p.m., today.

Last year: Naperville Central 17, Glenbard East 0.

Last week: WW South 44, Glenbard East 13; Naperville Central 35, Glenbard North 28.

Outlook: The Rams, who have played several close games with Naperville Central, hope to send seniors like Pat Walker and Jason Callahan out on a high note. A win also would boost the off-season confidence of younger players like sophomore quarterback Jack Merrithey. After putting quarterback pressure on WW South, the Rams must do the same against Redhawks quarterback Harrison Daniels, who enjoyed his finest hour last week while throwing for 255 yards and rushing for 100. The return from injury of lineman Scott Baum helped greatly. Defensively, the Redhawks started the same lineup for a second straight week -- the first time they've done that this season.
