Skinny: The season ends tonight for both teams and it's been a disappointing one, particularly for Wauconda, which had realistic playoff expectations. The Bulldogs beat 2009 state qualifier Huntley in their opener, but their only other win came in Week 7 against North Chicago. "We are trying to finish out our season by playing hard," Wauconda coach Dave Mills said. "As I put it to the seniors, 'This game will create the last memory you have of you, your senior class and high school football. What you do with that opportunity is up to you.' The game is about pride for both teams." ... QB Brian Kent has been a bright spot for Wauconda, having completed 50 percent of his passes for 1,389 yards and having rushed for 655 yards and 12 TDs, despite a mid-season knee injury. WRs Brandon Dorsey and Jake Ziolkowski each has caught 28 passes. ... Round Lake has scored only 79 points and has been shut out three times. ... Wauconda has allowed 324 points, most in the NSC.
