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 Victory
Quinn Schambow's big game helped extend Libertyville's winning streak to seven on Thursday. Schambow was dynamite, throwing 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 history really does repeat itself, Schambow might just drop another big game when he faces off against Lake Forest on Thursday. 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.

Stewart Posts Huge Game 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.
Stewart must have Stevenson's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. 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. Junia was unstoppable, making 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 venture away from home to take on Waukegan at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.
Gamescore: 23.65
Maddux Hermestroff Delivers Best Performance of Season
Mundelein came up short on Thursday despite Maddux Hermestroff delivering his best game to date. Hermestroff made nine total tackles.
On the year, 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.

Libertyville Wins Seventh-Straight Thanks to Blaise Lavista
Blaise Lavista was instrumental in extending 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.
Unfortunately for Zion-Benton, this isn't the first big game they've seen from Lavista. 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.
