Streamwood (1-7) at Grayslake Central (3-5)

When: 7:15 p.m. today

Last week: Streamwood lost to Elgin, 21-12; Grayslake Central def. Grayslake North, 28-0.

Skinny: Can Grayslake Central make it 4 wins and 4 shutouts? In a season that has seen them post their most victories since an 8-3 campaign in 2003, the Rams have won only by shutout. They'll face a Streamwood squad that has mustered just 87 points all season and was blanked by Antioch 34-0 on Opening Night. The Sabres' lone win came over Dundee-Crown, 28-27, in Week 2. ... Grayslake Central received a breakout game from sophomore running back Joey Valdivia against Grayslake North, as he rushed for season bests of 194 yards and 4 touchdowns. Quarterback Mike Gentile gained 136 yards on the ground on just 9 carries. The defense was led by James Sinclair (101/2 tackles, 2 for loss), Kevin Hein (71/2, 21/2 for loss) and Derrick Brown (31/2 tackles for loss, 11/2 sacks). Hein is the Rams' season leader in tackles with 621/2.
