North Suburban Top Player Performances of the Week
Congratulations to this week's top players! We're covering the best performances from Friday's football action (using all statistics entered as of the time of writing). Enjoy!
Blaise Lavista Turns in Season-Best Effort
Sadly, Blaise Lavista posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Libertyville over Lake Forest on Friday. Lavista wasn't messing around, picking up 230 receiving yards and three touchdowns. The matchup was his eighth straight with two or more receiving touchdowns dating back to last season.
Lake Forest's probably not too fond of Lavista given he always seems to get the better of them. Lavista picked up 117 receiving yards and two touchdowns the last time he and the Scouts duked it out back in September of 2023.

Quinn Schambow Delivers Electric Performance Vs Lake Forest
Another Libertyville player making an appearance on this list is Quinn Schambow. He threw for 433 yards and five touchdowns while completing 76.5% of his passes. He is on a roll when it comes to passing touchdowns, as he's now passed for four or more in the last eight games he's played dating back to last season.
Lake Forest's probably not too fond of Schambow given he always seems to get the better of them. When Schambow last faced the Scouts back in September of 2023, he threw for 204 yards and three touchdowns, and also rushed for 32 yards and a touchdown.

Young Posts Huge Game in 35-0 Victory
Logan Young put up the most rushing yards he's had since back in August on Friday. He threw for 131 yards and three touchdowns while completing 80% of his passes, and also rushed for 56 yards. He has become a key player for Mundelein: the team is 3-1 when he posts at least three passing touchdowns, but 1-3 otherwise.
Young and Mundelein will be playing in front of their home fans against Lake Forest at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The game will pit Young up against the Scouts' star QB Danny Van Camp. So who wins this QB-duel? There's only one way to know for sure.

Ethan Connelly Delivers Best Effort of Season
Mundelein was led to victory by Ethan Connelly, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Connelly picked up 83 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
Connelly and Mundelein will be playing at home against Lake Forest at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The match will pit Connelly up against the Scouts' star WR Charlie Markee. With so much talent on the field, fans are surely in for an exciting game. The only thing left to see is who brings home the W.

Aaron Stewart Makes Top Five
Rounding off our Top Five is Aaron Stewart of Warren Township. Stewart rushed for 141 yards and a touchdown. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his fifth straight game with at least 113 rushing yards dating back to last season.
If history really does repeat itself, Stewart might just drop another big game when he faces off against Libertyville on Friday. Stewart rushed for 268 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 7.2 yards per carry the last time he and the Wildcats duked it out back in September of 2023.
