Skinny While Warren has clinched a playoff berth (6 wins) thanks to its homecoming rout of Zion-Benton last Friday, Libertyville needs to win one of its remaining two games to be postseason-eligible. The Wildcats finish with a road game against 1-6 Mundelein, but the Wildcats would love to pull out a win tonight and bounce back from its loss to Stevenson. The loss snapped Libertyville's three-game winning streak. Libertyville junior quarterback A.J. Schurr has been a bright spot all season and should surpass 1,000 passing yards tonight, as he stands at 923 yards (53 completion percentage). Eric Andrews (28 receptions, 5 TDs) is Schurr's top target. The Wildcats are led defensively by safety James Zotto, whose team-best 47.5 tackles include 36 solos. He also has 3 interceptions. ... Warren running back Greg Kennedy rushed for 182 yards and 3 touchdowns on just 14 carries against Zion-Benton, while Matt Goad was a force defensively with 9.5 tackles (8 solos), including 2 sacks. Jon Duncan and Addison Clark (sack) each made 7 solo stops. ... For the season, Warren running backs Kennedy (1,224) and Tom Lindal (664) have rushed for nearly 1,900 yards and 24 touchdowns. ... If Warren loses tonight, Stevenson will clinch the North Suburban Lake Division championship outright, as every Lake team except Stevenson will have 2 divisional losses. Stevenson plays a crossover against Round Lake tonight. Warren faces Stevenson next week.
