Glenbard South 49, Rochelle 34: Trace Wanless had touchdown runs of 22 and 42 yards, Nick Slezak had scoring runs of 4 and 69 yards and Connor Douglas caught a TD pass and ran for another score in the Raiders' Western Sun Conference win at Rochelle.

The win keeps the Raiders (6-2, 5-1) in a tie for first place in the conference with Geneva, which defeated co-leader Kaneland 27-24 in overtime.

The win also guarantees a playoff spot for the Raiders.

The Raiders led 28-14 at halftime, but Rochelle scored the first touchdown of the second half. The Raiders bounced back with Douglas' TD reception from Wanless, then Slezak put the game out of reach when he scored on a fourth-and-1 play from the Raiders' 31-yard line.

The Raiders are at Sycamore next Friday.
