Glenbard West seeking first 8A title
Last year's 7A champs Glenbard West and 8A champs Loyola, are set to square off on Saturday at historic Duchon Field in Glen Ellyn.
Fans should expect one of the largest crowds Duchon Field has seen in history as the two powerhouses battle to punch their ticket to the University of Illinois the site of this years Illinois Football State Championships.
Glenbard West is no stranger to deep playoff runs but this year's run seems a bit different as they have been the underdog. Loyola has been the favorites from the beginning but the Hitters will be ready to knock off the Ramblers in search of the programs first 8A title to add to the resumé of their previous three titles (1983 5A, 2012 7A, 2015 7A).
