North Suburban Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances from Thursday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Quinn Schambow Delivers Electric Effort Vs Zion-Benton
Quinn Schambow was instrumental in extending Libertyville's winning streak to seven on Thursday. Schambow did his part (and then some), throwing for 232 yards and five touchdowns on only 16 passes for the 'W'. He is on a roll when it comes to passing touchdowns, as he's now passed for four or more in the last seven games he's played dating back to last season.
If history really does repeat itself, Schambow might just drop another big game when he faces off against Lake Forest on Thursday. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Schambow saw the Scouts), he threw for 204 yards and three touchdowns, and also rushed for 32 yards and a touchdown.
Gamescore: 38.87
Another Game with at Least 113 Rushing Yards from Aaron Stewart
Aaron Stewart's rushing tear continued on Thursday as he dropped his fourth-straight game with 113+ rushing yards dating back to last season. He rushed for 113 yards and a touchdown, and also picked up 30 receiving yards. He showed off some serious burst, cutting through the defense on one rush that went for 60 yards.
Stevenson's probably not too fond of Stewart given he always seems to get the better of them. When Stewart last faced the Patriots back in September of 2023, he rushed for 166 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 7.2 yards per carry.
Gamescore: 25.05
While Jake Junia delivered a dominant performance on Thursday, a win just wasn't in the cards for Mundelein. Junia was dynamite, making 14 total tackles (1.0 for loss).
Mundelein is on a four-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 3-4. Junia and Mundelein will take on Waukegan at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.
Gamescore: 23.65
Maddux Hermestroff Turns in Season-Best Effort
Mundelein came up short on Thursday despite Maddux Hermestroff delivering his best game to date. Hermestroff made nine total tackles.
This season, Hermestroff has averaged 5.7 total tackles per game and for the season has 3 interceptions. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 14.43 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 22.57 rushing yards.
Gamescore: 22.20
Blaise Lavista and Co. Win Seventh in a Row
Libertyville picked up their seventh consecutive win on Thursday thanks in part to Blaise Lavista. Lavista was unstoppable, picking up 67 receiving yards and two touchdowns. He is on a roll when it comes to receiving touchdowns, as he's now hauled in two or more in the last seven games he's played dating back to last season.
Zion-Benton's probably not too fond of Lavista given he always seems to get the better of them. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Lavista saw the Zee-Bees), he picked up 167 receiving yards and three touchdowns.
