Daily Herald Staff Report

West Aurora (4-4, 2-4) at Glenbard North (4-4, 3-3)

DuPage Valley Conference

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

Last year: Glenbard North 41, West Aurora 7.

Last week: West Aurora 48, West Chicago 27; Naperville Central 35, Glenbard North 28.

Outlook: The records say it all. The winner of this game will go to the playoffs and the loser will stay home. West Aurora is coming off its highest point total of the season, an effort led by Markus Cocroft's 3 interceptions -- one returned for a touchdown -- and a kick return for an 87-yard touchdown. Glenbard North has two aims: take care of the football and stop the run. After 29 carries last week, junior running back Tyler Doll again proved to be the ideal workhorse to keep the ball out of the hands of the Blackhawks, who seek their first playoff berth since 1994. Glenbard North, which boasts the most playoff points in the DVC, looks to extend its playoff streak to five straight seasons.
