If you follow Naperville North football, circle Friday. The Huskies, No. 13 in at 8-2, play at No. 4 Oswego at 6 p.m. in the second round. They got here by beating Fremd 38-31, their eighth win and their most in a decade.

Collins came back from a six-week collarbone injury to score twice. Senior quarterback Dante Colasante has completed 110 of 171 passes, and a Daily Herald preview of underdog teams calls the Huskies road underdogs.

  • Next round: winner plays No. 21 Lyons–No. 5 Bolingbrook winner
  • Bolingbrook: the only team to beat Oswego this season
  • Oswego defense: six sacks against Naperville Central
  • Huskies' regular-season losses: New Trier and East St. Louis

Oswego beat Naperville Central 27-6 behind Ammar Banire, who ran for 118 yards and two touchdowns in the first half. The Huskies also have a score to settle: they lost 17-7 to Oswego in last year's first round.

Both teams won last week before Friday's meeting

Oswego District 308's $317 million referendum passes in unofficial results

If you voted in Oswego Community Unit School District 308 on Tuesday, here's how it came out. With 100 percent of precincts reporting, unofficial totals from the Will and Kendall County clerk's offices show 18,493 yes votes to 10,135 no.

No10,13535.4%

The money is for repairs across the district's 22 buildings. A districtwide assessment found many of them in fair or poor condition, and roofing and HVAC units haven't been replaced since the schools were built 20 to 25 years ago.

The district says the bond funds are legally protected and can't pay salaries, benefits or daily operating costs.

  • Security: secure entryways, access controls, intrusion detection, cameras
  • Repairs: roofing, mechanical, plumbing and HVAC
  • Also: science labs, cafeteria and gym expansions, energy efficiency
  • Timeline: three phases over several years

Oswego wasn't the only district asking. NBC 5 Chicago says voters will face dozens of different referendums around the Chicago area, including a request from Community School District 300 to authorize more than $355 million in bonds. Election results stay unofficial until certified.
