Scouting Immaculate Conception at Wheaton Academy
Immaculate Conception (4-2, 2-1) at Wheaton Academy (5-1, 3-0)
Game time: 2 p.m. Saturday, Wheaton College
Last week: Immaculate Conception 42, Aurora Central 14; Wheaton Academy 35, Chicago Christian 6
Last year: Wheaton Academy 35, Immaculate Conception 15
Outlook: Ramifications abound. Wheaton Academy seeks its playoff-clinching sixth win and also to remain with St. Edward atop the SCC Gold. IC hopes to join the mix, and coach Mike Alberts isn't sure the Knights will have the playoff points to get in with five wins (4-2 Aurora Christian, 1-5 Chicago Christian await). Intangibles aside, the Warriors' homecoming is a battle of power vs. balance. IC backs Jose Godinez and Connor Hendricks combined for 335 yards rushing, 3 touchdowns last week; Warriors quarterback Tommy Decker and Kai Libby did the usual more than 200 yards passing and 100 yards rushing, respectively. Mistakes, line play will sort it out.
Next week: Immaculate Conception at Aurora Christian; Wheaton Academy at Montini.
