If you follow Naperville North, Friday night was a close one. The No. 13 seed Huskies lost 21-19 to No. 4 seed Oswego in the IHSA second round. Graham Schwab got the Panthers on the board with a 4-yard touchdown run, and Luke Hernandez ripped off two 49-yard runs, one for a score. The Huskies had earned their first playoff win since 2010 to get that far.

Bolingbrook beat Lyons 22-14 on Saturday. Tyson Ward's 31-yard quarterback-draw touchdown put the Raiders ahead in the fourth quarter. Now the Raiders play at Oswego next week in the quarterfinals.

  • Ammar Banire: 110 rushing yards on 22 carries for Oswego
  • Drew Kleinhans: 54 passing yards and 68 rushing yards
  • Naperville North's first-round opponent: Central, a week earlier
  • Bolingbrook's record: 10-1
