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 Goes Supernova in Libertyville Win
Quinn Schambow's big game helped extend Libertyville's winning streak to seven on Thursday. Nobody could stop Schambow as he threw for 232 yards and five touchdowns on only 16 passes. 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.
Schambow might have his next game, a home matchup with Lake Forest, circled on his calendar. 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.

Warren Township Gets a Boost from Stewart in 16-7 Defeat
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, turning on the afterburners on one carry for 60 yards.
Stevenson had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Stewart it was a similar story. 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 Mundelein might've come up empty on Thursday, Jake Junia wasn't going down without a fight. Despite the defeat, Junia was still balling out as he made 14 total tackles (1.0 for loss).
Mundelein is on a four-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 3-4. Junia's next contest is against Waukegan on Friday, where he'll look to repeat that solid effort.
Gamescore: 23.65
Maddux Hermestroff Delivers Best Effort of Season
Mundelein came up short on Thursday despite Maddux Hermestroff delivering his best game to date. Hermestroff made nine total tackles.
On the 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.

Blaise Lavista and Co. Win Seventh in a Row
Blaise Lavista's big game helped extend Libertyville's winning streak to seven on Thursday. 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.
Lavista must have Zion-Benton's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. When Lavista last faced the Zee-Bees back in October of 2023, he picked up 167 receiving yards and three touchdowns.
