Barrington senior quarterback Luke Tepas passed for 2 touchdowns and rushed for another as the Broncos defeated Hoffman Estates 38-19 Friday night to win the Mid-Suburban League West title with a 5-0 record.

"It's not easy going undefeated in this division," said Barrington coach Joe Sanchez after the regular-season finale between playoff teams at Garber Stadium.

"I'm super excited for the program, the kids and our coaches."

Hoffman Estates (6-3, 2-3) took a 6-3 lead at 8:08 of the second quarter on a 6-yard reverse TD run from senior wideout Torey Baskin on the Hawks' Senior Night in chilly conditions.

Barrington (8-1, 5-0) then scored 35 unanswered points en route to a 38-6 advantage in the third quarter.

Broncos sophomore running back Lamar Osterhues (18 rushes, 93 yards) ran for 4- and 8-yard TDs, and Tepas' rushing score was a 3-yarder.

Tepas' TD passes landed in the hands of Oliver Rosenzweig (11 yards) and Owen Cook (25 yards).

The Hawks tallied a pair of TDs in the fourth quarter: QB Austin Lezniak (22 of 40 passing, 228 yards) connected with Baskin (21 yards) and Brandon Smith (27 yards).

Barrington got on the board first via John Wormley's 22-yard field goal with 3:09 left in the first quarter.

Hoffman's Smith, Baskin and JMari Jackson each intercepted a pass.

Barrington's Nate Kania came down with a pick, and teammate Kane Switski blocked an extra-point attempt.

Tepas completed 12 of 25 tosses for 177 yards.

Baskin had game highs of 7 receptions and 79 receiving yards.
