⚫️Fenwick (7-3) rolled to a comfortable first-round win against Highland Park. Though the final was 38-20, the score was 35-0 shortly after halftime. Jake Thies didn’t record a safety, but he scored in just about every other possible way, on a rush, a reception, and a pick near midfield that he took all the way to the end zone. Freshman Noah Marshall had 110 receiving yards and a TD, and Rocco Nero continued to shine, with 11 carries for 99 yards and a score. Junior DE Hank Holland had eight tackles for the Friars. With a road win in the second round, Fenwick would come back home to face Geneva or Wheaton North in the quarterfinals.

🟣Next Game: At Hononegah (9-1), 1:00 Saturday
The Indians’ 32-3 defeat of Willowbrook on Friday was their first playoff win in three years, but they’re a perennial presence in the postseason - the last time they didn’t qualify was 2006. The Indians lost 42-13 to Nazareth in the first round last year. It can be tough to judge the NIC-10. With no non-conference games, most strength of schedule metrics create a closed loop. The conference is 5-4 in the playoffs so far, with the other wins coming from first-place Harlem (over St. Charles East), Guilford (over Zion-Benton), and Belvidere North (over Wheaton Academy and NIC rival Freeport). Of note, last weekend’s 32-3 game was much closer than the score indicates. The Indians’ defense held Willowbrook to 154 yards, but the offense didn’t muster much until the fourth quarter. The score heading into the fourth was 9-3.

☑️Illinois Media poll: #6 in 6A
🗓️Schedule: A bit below average - 37 opponents’ wins (see comment above), 1 ranked team
🏈Scoring averages: Offense 40.2 / Defense 9.3
🏆Best regular season win: Week 5 vs. Guilford, 17-14
👀One player to watch: Senior DE Logan Wilson is a quality pass rusher, but one of the perks of playing in the CCL is that Fenwick’s offensive line will be well prepared for him
