Stunner

Sixteenth-seeded Hinsdale South, the last of 256 teams to qualify for the postseason, scored perhaps the biggest upset on Friday night by winning at No. 1 Crete-Monee 28-20 in Class 6A.

Taking the fourth

Naperville Central topped West Aurora 35-14 in their Class 8A opener, but it wasn't easy. The Redhawks needed to make nine fourth-down stops to hold off the never-say-die Blackhawks.
