Scouting St. Francis at Wheaton Academy

St. Francis (2-2) at Wheaton Academy (4-0)/b>

Game time: 7 p.m. today, Wheaton College.

Last year: St. Francis 52, Wheaton Academy 12.

Last week: Montini 28, St. Francis 14; Wheaton Academy 51, Aurora Central Catholic 20.

Outlook: Last year's score? Those are Wheaton Academy-type numbers. Quarterback Tommy Decker and tailback Kai Libby have led 55- and 51-point efforts the last two weeks, but not against the competition Suburban Christian Conference crossover foe St. Francis provides. Wheaton Academy's weakness in its recent, brief history has been run defense; linebackers Nate Jones and Peter Ferrill and safety Alex Forsyth have to limit Bobby Miller and Ben Trimble running out of the Spartans' Wing-T while watching for the inevitable play-action pass. St. Francis defensive end Jack Porter will put the heat on Decker, who targets a variety of solid receivers.

Next week: St. Francis at Walther Lutheran; Wheaton Academy at Chicago Christian.
