Bartlett: October 2008 Archives

This morning Paul LaTour analyzes the Upstate Eight Conference and how it has historically struggled in the postseason. R.J. Gerber of The Courier News agrees, saying that undefeated Bartlett has something to prove in Class 8A.

The Naperville North program has already earned that respect, but if it is to repeat, then it may at some point have to lean more on its passing game. Its road back to Champaign could go through 9-0 Bolingbrook, which, as Bill Scheibe of The Herald News explains, has a strong secondary.

And finally Stephen Spiewak of MaxPreps shares his three games in 24 hours odyssey, which began at Harshbarger-Welzel Field last Friday.

Join me around 7 p.m. for the Sun's Game of the Week live blog. We should have a good one tonight with host Neuqua Valley taking on its long-time rival Bartlett. The Wildcats (3-3, 2-2 UEC) enter after back-to-back wins helped save their season, while the undefeated Hawks (6-0, 4-0) are considered one of the top Class 8A teams in the state.
