Flames vs. Mustangs: The Lake Zurich Big 10 Middleweight Flames, playing in The Chicagoland Youth Football League, shut out the Huntley Mustangs 24-0 on Oct. 7. The Flames now hold a 4-2 record after losing to Buffalo Grove last week.

On Huntley's first play after the ensuing kickoff, Steve Demmert stripped the ball from a Huntley running back, allowing the Flames to control the ball. The drive was capped off by a 30-yard pass from Camden Kuksa to Michael Hagan, who took the ball into the end zone to give the Flames a 12-0 lead.

Three plays later, Kuksa intercepted a Huntley pass to start another drive. Kuksa finished off with a quarterback keeper around right end, giving the Flames an 18-0 lead. With less than six minutes remaining, Colton Wagner made a 45-yard sprint up the middle for the final touchdown.
