Scouting Glenbard West at Hinsdale Central

Posted September 09, 2010 11:00 pm

Glenbard West (2-0, 0-0) at Hinsdale Central (1-1, 0-0)

West Suburban Silver

Game time: 7:30 p.m. today

Last week: Glenbard West 21, Downers Grove South 16; Hinsdale Central 28, Proviso East 0.

Last year: Glenbard West 28, Hinsdale Central 25.

Outlook: The last two years this game decided the Silver champion, games Glenbard West won by a combined total of 12 points. The Hilltoppers' quest for a Silver three-peat follows two solid nonconference wins but not perfect wins. Despite crisp execution on both sides of the ball they've committed more than 200 yards worth of penalties. Focusing on the run last week, Nick Burrello and Trace Sorey each rushed for more than 100 yards. The Red Devils boast two Big Ten linemen in Jack Allen, committed to Michigan State, and Scott McDowell, who this week committed to Illinois. They both play two ways, along with running back-linebacker Jake Knowles.

Next week: Oak Park at Glenbard West; Hinsdale Central at Lyons Twp.
