Preview: Barrington at Hoffman Estates

When: 7:30 p.m. today at Garber Stadium

Last week: Barrington d. BG 39-14; Hoffman lost to Wheeling 39-3

Outlook: Don't expect Barrington to look past this one after losing for only the third time in 19 meetings 14-12 at home last year. And the Broncos haven't looked back their last two games as they've lead a combined 70-0 after three quarters. "That's a very good sign to see us come out like that," said Broncos coach Joe Sanchez. "All three phases we've been able to come out strong. There's no doubt those guys remember last year's game but I don't think that's their greatest source of motivation." Getting back to the playoffs is, which the Broncos can actually qualify for with a win in their best start since they won their first eight in 2003. And Sanchez likes how everything has clicked from special teams with K Ryan Murach to the offense with QB Cody Seeger (73 percent passing, 521 yards, 6 TDs) and RB Sam Ojuri (276 yards, 3 TDs) to the defense anchored by LBs Jason Bromm, Cam Good and Alex Smith. Hoffman got its offense going a bit with 273 yards last week behind QB Frank Wadas and RBs Foyin Alade and Shamar McFarlane. "Watching this team it all starts with Wadas," Sanchez said. "He's a tough kid who's been in this position and he proved it against us last year." Barrington CB Jason Taylor returned from injury last week but OL Tyler Sinclair is still a week away.
