Saturday's Upstate Eight Conference tilt between Bartlett and St. Charles North certainly proved wild. A seven-turnover third quarter had the momentum swinging back and forth between both teams before the Hawks were able to put together a lenghty drive and open the fourth quarter with a touchdown to go up 21-7.
Check out the highlights here.
From roaming the sidelines, it was easy to see how much this game meant to both teams. There was some trash talk and some pushing and shoving after plays, but mostly just a lot of hollering on each sideline as players and coaches alike tried to motivate their team.
Each of the four times the North Stars came up with a turnover, it seemed as though they were bound to tie the score at 14. But each time Bartlett was able to answer the bell with a turnover of its own or a key stop.
With the win, the Hawks have one less obstacle in their path to an undefeated regular season.
Stay tuned for Week 6's "Game of the Week" between the North Stars and South Elgin, who are coming off a big win against Thornoton Fractional South.
