Redhawks aren't some 20-goal patsy - The Heat Index

Redhawks aren't some 20-goal patsy

Fenwick's boys team scored 490 goals this season in 33 games. By my toes, that's roughly 15 goals per game.

Sure that sounds like a lot o' offense, but it sounds like more if you break it down further.

The Friars had 17 games with at least 14 goals, including six with at least 20 goals (two this weekend), four games with 18 goals and two with 19 goals.

But none of that madness happened against Naperville Central.

"Fenwick, the whole year has been blowing out teams like 10-0 in the first quarter," said junior Ben Reasons. "We knew they weren't going to do that to us."

The Redhawks held the six-time state champs to 10 total in their championship game loss on Saturday night and to nine in a regular-season loss to the Friars.

"Our other game against Fenwick, we lost 9-5, you know," Central coach Bill Salentine said after finishing as state runner-up for the second time. "So holding them to what was it, 10? That's great for us. So I'm very proud of my boys. We got a lot of sophomores, a lot of juniors, only losing four seniors. It just shows us great things for the future."
