This is the game I had circled for the weekend that looks to be the most exciting. Look for two evenly matched teams battle for four quarters. There will be a lot of talent on the field and I wanted to highlight some key players for this match-up. Here are 5 players to keep on eye on during the game:
Ryan Boe Ryan Boe 6’3″ | 205 lbs | QB Batavia | 2024 State IL is the leader of this talented Bulldog offense. He has been electric with his big play ability all year throwing the football. Boe has been putting up big numbers in 2023 with 2118 yards and 21 touchdowns, he’s done a good job distributing the ball to his playmakers. Last week he threw 3 touchdowns leading his team to a win over Lincoln-Way Central. I look for the NDSU commit to have a big game this week.

Luke Alwin
Luke Alwin
Luke Alwin has been a reliable target for Boe on the year. The Bulldogs offense does a good job designing plays to get Alwin his targets. Last week he has 62 yards and a big touchdown against Lincoln-Way Central. On the year, Alwin has 524 yards and 8 touchdowns. I look for Batavia’s offense to be hitting on all cylinders and Alwin being a big part of the gameplan.
Charlie Whelpley Charlie Whelpley 6’2″ | 225 lbs | ATH Batavia | 2024 State IL has been the workhorse running back for the Bulldogs. Last week he got 11 carries for 89 yards and a touchdown. Whelpley is a physical ball carrier at 6’2 215 lbs. He’s been there all year when Batavia needed the hard yards – he has 8 touchdowns on the year. Look for Whelpley to get his touches early and often on Saturday.

Aundre Pilgrim
Aundre Pilgrim
Aundre Pilgrim is a big defensive end that has been disturbing opposing quarterbacks this year. He has an explosive first step and can lock out offensive tackles with his long arms and get separation. He will have a challenge this week going against a very talented Batavia offensive line, but Pilgrim will have his opportunity to get in the backfield on Saturday.
