Niles North and Glenbrook South are an even 5-5 against one another since January of 2017, but not for long. The Niles North Vikings will be playing at home against the Glenbrook South Titans at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Niles North knows how to get points on the board -- the squad has finished with 55 points or more in their past 32 games -- so hopefully Glenbrook South likes a good challenge.
