Naperville Central coach Mike Stine said Wednesday that the Redhawks will continue to play Waubonsie Valley next season and will add Neuqua Valley to the 2009 schedule.
Central and Neuqua have met only once before in football, with the Redhawks earning a 17-14 victory in the first round of the 2003 state playoffs.
Neuqua replaces Lake Park as a nonconference opponent. Central travels to Waubonsie on Friday before hosting Lake Park on Sept. 5.
The Wildcats were also looking for a Week 2 replacement. Neuqua coach Bryan Wells said Plainfield Central is dropping his team from its schedule next season. Wells added that the Wildcats will continue opening with Naperville North, giving them a one-two punch from District 203 every season for the foreseeable future.
