Can North or Central win at L-W East?

I'm sure the Naperville North and Naperville Central boys volleyball teams are currently focused on Thursday night's crosstown match, but the forward thinking The Back Row broke down this weekend's Lincoln-Way East tournament on Tuesday.

Previously-ranked but always dangerous Naperville North and Lake Forest will go head-to-head in Pool A, Lincoln-Way Central and Naperville Central will meet Friday at 5:30 p.m. for the right to advance from Pool B, and Sandburg and Lyons will meet Friday at 5:30 p.m. to emerge from Pool D.

Brother Rice, which had lost three consecutive matches following Monday's defeat to Oak Park, should get back on track in Pool C against Oak Lawn, Joliet and Maine East.

As for the crosstown match on Thursday, I wouldn't even go if I wasn't essentially required by law. Yes, the Redhawks beat North at the Tiger Classic to break a 14-match losing streak. Yes, the Huskies evened the score in the first DVC match.

Nothing against the two squads, but watching rivals play is worthless in terms of evaluating the scene.

But hey, I guess that's the life.
