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 Performance
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 contest was his eighth straight with two or more receiving touchdowns dating back to last season.
Lake Forest had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Lavista it was a similar story. When Lavista last faced the Scouts back in September of 2023, he picked up 117 receiving yards and two touchdowns.

Quinn Schambow Delivers Electric Effort 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.
Unfortunately for Lake Forest, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Schambow. Schambow threw for 204 yards and three touchdowns, and also rushed for 32 yards and a touchdown the last time he and the Scouts duked it out back in September of 2023.

Young Came Up Big in Mundelein's 35-0 Win
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 is becoming a predictor of Mundelein's success: when he posts at least three passing touchdowns the team is 3-1 (and 1-3 when he doesn't).
Young and Mundelein will host Lake Forest at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Young will face off against Danny Van Camp, the Scouts' star signal caller. So who wins this QB-duel? There's only one way to know for sure.

A Season-Best Performance from Ethan Connelly Leads Mundelein over Waukegan
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 host Lake Forest at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Connelly will face off against Charlie Markee, the Scouts' star wideout. The only thing left to do is find out who's the greater deep ball threat. You'll have to watch the game to know for sure.

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 the past is any indication, Stewart could be in store for another big game when he takes on 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.
