Game of the Week

After two weeks of football, there has been so much action to watch and read about. Be it from Lake Forest's Tommy Rees turning in that 526 yd. passing performance last week, the death of Curie player Quaashi A. Chandler or the ridiculous fights at the Simeon vs. North Chicago and the Niles West vs. Niles North games.

But no matter what we are feeling as humans, be it happiness or pain, we have to move on.

And tonight, everybody will be trying to do that.

There is much talk that the Game of the Week will be played between (15) Joliet Catholic and (19) Nazareth or (14) Providence and (17) Loyola. Can JCA turn around after the loss to the Celtics last week? Will the Celtics keep their motors running against Loyola this week? It doesn't matter. The Game of the Week will be played between (6) Hinsdale Central at (8) Glenbard West.

Both schools have great QB's in John Whitelaw (Hinsdale Central) and Tyler Warden so watch for both to have big yards via land and air.

Pick: Glenbard West 24, Hinsdale Central 22
