ARGO (2-0) vs. REAVIS (1-1)
WHEN: 7 p.m. Friday
WHERE: Reavis High School, 6034 W. 77th St., Burban
THE SCOOP: The
Argonauts have 99 points in two games, including 69 in last week's
69-40 shootout with Ridgewood, in which Jason Noel passed for 326 yards
and five touchdowns. Reavis can score, too, bouncing back from a 44-16
Week 1 loss to St. Laurence to crush Joliet Central 52-7 on Saturday.
FENWICK (2-0) vs. BROTHER RICE (1-1)
WHEN: 7:30 p.m. Friday
WHERE: Brother Rice High School, 10001 Pulaski Rd., Chicago
The Crusaders
have been a Jeckyll and Hyde act, winning their opener 42-0 then falling
at Marist by a 55-14 count. They'd better hope to catch Fenwick
recovering from its Saturday road trip to Dallas, where the Friars beat
fellow Dominican-founded school Bishop Lynch 32-14. Fenwick won the last
time these teams met, in 2010.
OAK LAWN (1-1) vs. EVERGREEN PARK (2-0)
WHEN: 7 p.m. Friday
WHERE: Evergreen Park High School, 9901 S. Kedzie, Evergreen Park
THE SCOOP: The Mustangs
survived four interceptions to beat Phillips in Week 2, as Jacquet
McClendon caught a 15-yard touchdown pass with 37 seconds to play in a
35-32 win. McClendon finished with 10 catches for 92 yards. Oak Lawn,
after dumping Kenwood 42-19 in its opener, fell to Stagg 36-14 in Week
2.
LYONS (0-2) vs. LEYDEN (0-2)
WHEN: 7:30 Friday
WHERE: Leyden High School, 3400 Rose St., Franklin Park
If it's
shocking that Lyons is 0-2, it has to be more shocking how the Lions got
there from 0-1. Hosting Willowbrook on Friday, Lyons lost 62-49, as
Willowbrook's quarterback, Brian Johnson, threw for 660 yards and seven
touchdowns. The Lions have given up 104 points in two games. Leyden is
coming off a 38-3 loss to Oak Park-River Forest.
NAZARETH ACADEMY (2-0) vs. MARIST (1-1)
WHEN: 7:30 Friday
WHERE: Marist High School, 4200 W. 115th St., Chicago
THE SCOOP: The
RedHawks' offense was firing on all cylinders in a 55-14 demolition of
Brother Rice in Week 2. Jack Donegan completed 21 of 25 passes for 338
yards and six touchdowns, three each to Flynn Nagel and Nic Weishar. In
its East Suburban Catholic opener, Marist gets unbeaten Nazareth, which
clubbed Julian 51-0 Saturday after beating Proviso East 35-12 in its
opener.
ST. LAURENCE (2-0) vs. ST. RITA (2-0)
WHEN: 7:30 p.m. Friday
WHERE: St. Rita High School, 7740 S. Western, Chicago
THE SCOOP: St.
Laurence hasn't been tested yet, posting easy wins over Reavis and
Gordon Tech. In the latter, a 36-12 triumph, Frank Miller ran for 131
yards on 19 carries, and Bob Kelly threw for 109 yards and two
touchdowns. St. Rita backed up an impressive opening win over Marist by
crushing Danville 42-7 in Week 2. Mustangs quarterback Tommy Mister ran
for 118 yards and two scores, and added a 39-yard touchdown pass, all in
the first half.
SHEPARD (0-2) vs. EISENHOWER (2-0)
WHEN: 7 p.m. Friday
WHERE: Eisenhower High School, 127th Street & Saramento, Blue Island
The Astros
have struggled, losing two games by a combined 91-3 count. In Week 2,
they fell at Marian 49-3. Now comes a South Suburban Red opener against
surprising Eisenhower, which stunned a talented Rich East squad in Week 1
and followed that with a 45-21 win over Urban Prep.
STAGG (2-0) vs. LINCOLN-WAY EAST (2-0)
WHEN: 7:30 p.m. Friday
WHERE: Lincoln-Way East High School, 201 Colorado Ave., Frankfort
THE SCOOP: The
Chargers have already matched last season's win total by beating
Hillcrest 28-14 in their opener, and Oak Lawn 36-14 last week.
Lincoln-Way East, a playoff perennial which played for a state title
last year, will be by far their stiffest test to date.
