(14)Vernon Hills
6 weeks in to the twenty-ten season and the boys over in the hills have yet to let an opponent score a single point. 290-0, kids. A new Monsters of the Midway? Is there even a midway in Vernon Hills? I have no idea, but will be keeping my eyes open for Week 7 when they bust heads with Grant this Friday.
Providence
The last time the Celtics didn't reach the playoffs, was 20-years ago. Twenty straight seasons of getting to play extra football. Not this year. fenwick helped put a stop to that streak Saturday with their 17-7 win. Start again next year Celtics.
Kapri Bibbs
The running back outta Plainfield North rushed for a new state-record 520-yards. He also scored 35 points (that's 7 touchdowns). If you do the math correctly, which I'm probably not, Bibbs scored 1.11 repeating on each of his 39 carries. (Feel free to check the math.)
*Like I have already said, my math was going to probably be wrong. Today, after looking at the post again, I realized that it was indeed wrong. Bibbs scored .8974359 points per carry.
Joliet West
For the first time since the last time, Joliet West picked up a victory as a one school team 32-8 against Joliet Central. Since 1992(?) West and Joliet Central had a team combined of both of the cities Public High Schools. If I remember correctly, the West-Central game each season was one to watch out for. Maybe not because each team was crazy good, but because the fans from West, and the fans from Central, felt they were the better team in town and resembled the parking lot of Soldiers Field on a Sunday in December when the Bears were playing the Packers. This game, and after party, usually got pretty outta control.
I think that sums it up.

What's Going Down in Week 5
After having a look around, and noticing all the good, the bad and the ugly (I'll be nice and name no teams...of course, you all know who you are), I am reminded what this week really is. Beside Week 5 of the Twenty-Ten Football Season, it is the week in which a team is going to the playoffs or not starts to be noticed. For example:
Checking out? If Providence loses this week, they're done for the year. Without a victory yet this season, and in one of, if not THE toughest conference in the state, with Rita and Mount Carmel still on their schedule, if the Celtics lose this week, like I've already said, their season is over. Will their streak of 20 straight seasons in the playoffs come to an end this weekend?
My opinion? The Celtics are done.
Who's the bigger boy? Naperville North's Matt LaCosse or WW South's Reilly O'Toole? We'll find out Friday night when the two funky QB's match up. Will it be the sly running ability of LaCosse or the air assault of O'Toole that leads a team to victory Friday night?
NN or WW? I'm a bit hesitant, but I'm pulling for LaCosse to trump O'Toole and notch WW South from the Top Spot of the polls.
Who's gonna stay at the top? Minooka travels to knock heads with Plainfield South Friday night. Both are 4-0 and resting atop the Southwest Prairie leader board. Can Bert Kooi's Indians stay perfect while facing ex-Minooka head coach Mike Briscoe's Cougars?
Well? It's like running into an ex-girlfriend at the movie shop. She looks good, is doing damn well and you're forced to remember you left her behind for a more attractive model. Minooka by 21.
Can they keep up the Monsters of the Midway like persona they've had all season? Antioch (4-0) visits Vernon Hills (4-0) at 7:30 Friday night. Antioch is averaging 42 points a contest. Vernon Hills has yet to allow a single point in four games. What's gonna go down?
Vernon Hills finally allows points, but still come out with the W by 21.

North Chicago brawl hands "W" to Vernon Hills
North Chicago and Simeon players and fans duked it out for close to 15 minutes last weekend with under six minutes remaining in the first quarter. The fight may have been a result of the score; Simeon 21, North Chicago 0.
Perhaps those involved from North Chicago were upset or embarrassed by the score. Or they might have been feeling poorly about the way their season has been going. Maybe the were ashamed by being outscored 63-6 so far this season. And remember, that total, 63, could have and would have been much higher if this game continued.
The IHSA has determined that all levels of North Chicago football must forfeit this weekends games. They are, however, allowed to keep practicing. While the team practices, eight members of the team will not. Six players have been suspended for one game, two players for two.
