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 Dazzles in Libertyville Win
Libertyville picked up their seventh consecutive win on Thursday thanks in part to Quinn Schambow. 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.
If the past is any indication, Schambow could be in store for another big game when he takes on 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.

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. The bulk of those rushing yards came from one huge play: a run that gained an incredible 60 yards.
Stevenson's probably not too fond of Stewart given he always seems to get the better of them. Back in September of 2023 (the last time Stewart saw the Patriots), 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. Lake Zurich had no answer to Junia 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 and Mundelein will square off against Waukegan at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.
Gamescore: 23.65
Maddux Hermestroff Turns in Season-Best Performance
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. It gets even more impressive: after seven games last season, 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. Zion-Benton had no answer to LaVista as he picked up 67 receiving yards and two touchdowns. LaVista 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. LaVista picked up 167 receiving yards and three touchdowns the last time he and the Zee-Bees duked it out back in October of 2023.
