The Bolingbrook Raiders football team will host Chicago Curie (5-4) in the first round of the Class 8A playoffs, the IHSA announced on Saturday night.
In a twist of fate, the Raiders could face Downers Grove South (7-2) in the second round. Bolingbrook beat South 21-20 in the first week of the season.
In order for that to happen, Downers South, the West Suburban Gold champion, must get past Hinsdale Central (7-2).
Bolingbrook (9-0) is in the lower draw of the Class 8A bracket. The No. 2 seed in the lower draw is defending state champion Naperville North (9-0), which will play Chicago Simeon (6-3) in the first round. The two unedfeated teams would face each other in the semifinals if both advance that far.
On the top end of the Class 8A bracket, Sun-Times No. 1 Maine South (9-0) got a No. 2 seed and will face Stevenson (5-4). Bartlett (9-0) is the top seed in the top draw and will face Notre Dame (5-4).
