Barrington’s perfect season continues with a win last week against Maine South. The Broncos won the shootout 42-40 and will look ahead to the semi-finals were they will take on Lincoln-Way East. Devan Van Ness continues to be a bright spot on defensive for the broncos having another big game pressuring the quarterback. He was able to get to the quarterback 3 times on Saturday to go with his 5 tackles. He now totals an impressive 16 sacks on the season.
Mt. Carmel punched their ticket with a 56-46 win over Tolono Unity in the 3A quarterfinals. Blayne Sisson Blayne Sisson 6’2″ | 190 lbs | DB Mt. Carmel | 2024 State IL was a major reason for that win with his monster performance on Saturday. He threw for 146 yards and 2 touchdowns and he also had 230 yards rushing and 4 touchdowns. Tolono had no way of slowing the Southern Illinois commit down. Sisson is playing at a high level and I expect him to have another big game as he looks to get his team to the State Championship this week.
Highlights
