Preview: Warren Township vs. Brother Rice
Given their disadvantage in the MaxPreps national rankings, Warren Township should expect quite the challenge on Saturday. They will take on Brother Rice in the third round of the playoffs at 6:00 PM. The two teams have allowed few points on average (Warren Township 6.45, Brother Rice 6.27), so any points scored will be well earned.
Last Saturday, Brother Rice had a bit more than a touchdown to spare in a 27-17 win over Oak Park-River Forest. Senior John Bean was the offensive standout of the match for Brother Rice, as he rushed for 100 yards and 2 touchdowns on 21 carries. Senior John Bean has been one of their standout athletes in their past eight games.
Meanwhile, Warren Township brought a nine-game winning streak into their match against Hinsdale Central last week; they left with a ten-game streak. Warren Township had just enough and edged out Hinsdale Central 17-14. This was a playoff contest, so the win was all the more important for Warren Township (and all the more bitter for Hinsdale Central).
Their wins bumped Warren Township to 10-1 and Brother Rice to 11-0. We'll see who bends and who breaks when these two typically dominant teams face off.
