The Downers Grove North Trojans will be playing in front of their home fans against the Kenwood Broncos at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Both squads will be entering this one on the heels of a big victory.
Last Friday, Downers Grove North got the win against Hinsdale Central by a conclusive 35-12. Given Downers Grove North's advantage in MaxPreps' Illinois football rankings (they are ranked 19th, while Hinsdale Central is ranked 126th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Kenwood fell on hard times earlier this season, but after back-to-back wins it seems like their luck might finally be changing. They put the hurt on Phillips with a sharp 26-6 win on Friday.
Kenwood can attribute much of their success to NaCari McFarland, who threw for 236 yards and three touchdowns while completing 75% of his passes. The team also got some help courtesy of I'Marion Stewart , who picked up 74 receiving yards and a touchdown.
Their wins bumped Downers Grove North to 7-2 and Kenwood to 6-3.
