Continue ReadingBarrington is going into the quarterfinals this week undefeated and a big reason why is the play of Dillon Fitzpatrick Dillon Fitzpatrick 5’11” | 190 lbs | RB Barrington | 2024 State IL . The Broncos have been able to establish the run in most of their games feeding Fitzpatrick carries. The same was true this past weekend when Barrington took down Naperville Central 28-21. Fitzpatrick ran the ball hard all night making the most of his 24 carries. He ended the night with 175 yards and 2 touchdowns, averaging an impressive 7.3 yards a carry. I don’t think Barrington will stray away from the same gameplan this week as they take on Maine South.
Bradyn Little Bradyn Little 6’0″ | 195 lbs | QB Quincy Sr. | 2025 State IL has been showing everyone in the state all year that Quincy’s offense is for real. He had another impressive day throwing the ball around against Wheaton North this past week. Little also added another 300+ yard day throwing and 2 touchdowns. He has seemingly been unstoppable passing the ball all year, closing in on 3,000 yards for 2023. He’s been able to spread the ball out to his weapons making good reads and taking care of the football. Quincy will have their biggest test of the year as they will have to face Mt. Carmel in the quarterfinals on Saturday.
Highlights
Morgan Park remains as the only Chicago Public League left in the IHSA playoffs. They won a thriller against a talented Sycamore team in the second round. Chris Durr Chris Durr 5’11” | 160 lbs | WR Morgan Park | 2024 State IL did his part in helping his team advance to the quarterfinals. The Wyoming commit had 8 catches for 113 yards and a touchdown. Durr’s big play ability was on full display as they took down Sycamore 27-21. No doubt Durr will keep getting his touches this week against St Francis.
Dierre Hill has been a cheat code for Althoff all year long. Teams haven’t found a way to stop Hill, let alone slow him down. He’s been a workhorse for the Crusaders and they look to be the favorite to win state in class 1A this year. He only needed 9 carries to gain 177 yards and 3 touchdowns against Leroy in round 2 of the playoffs. As Althoff looks ahead this week to the quarterfinals, don’t expect much to change as Hill will continue to dominate.
Highlights
Mater Dei has had consistant quarterback play this year from Trenton Zeeb Trenton Zeeb 6’2″ | 190 lbs | QB Mater Dei | 2024 IL . He had another solid day in the second round of the playoffs against Johnston City on Saturday throwing for 195 yards and 3 touchdowns. Through his first two playoff games this year he has thrown 7 touchdowns and 0 interceptions. That is exactly how you want your quarterback to be playing in the post-season. Zeeb has been a big reason for the Knight’s success this year. Mater Dei will take on 10-1 Shelbyville in the quarterfinals on Saturday.
