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
Quinn Schambow was instrumental in extending Libertyville's winning streak to seven on Thursday. Schambow was unstoppable, 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.
Schambow might have his next game, a home matchup with Lake Forest, circled on his calendar. 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 Made His Presence Known in Warren Township's 16-7 Loss
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 was no stranger to the big play, turning on the jets for a run that went for 60 yards.
Stevenson's probably not too fond of Stewart given he always seems to get the better of them. 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 will try to repeat (or improve) on that dominant effort when he faces off against Waukegan on Friday.
Gamescore: 23.65
Maddux Hermestroff Turns in Season-Best Performance
Sadly, Maddux Hermestroff posting his best game of the season wasn't enough to lead Mundelein over Lake Zurich on Thursday. Hermestroff made nine total tackles.
For 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's big game helped extend Libertyville's winning streak to seven on Thursday. Lavista turned in nothing short of a gem, 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.
Lavista must have Zion-Benton's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Lavista saw the Zee-Bees), he picked up 167 receiving yards and three touchdowns.
