The Hillcrest Hawks are headed away from home for the first time to challenge the Montini Catholic Broncos at 7:15 p.m. on Friday.
Hillcrest is leaving town to face Montini Catholic after disappointing their home crowd in their season opener. Hillcrest lost 35-13 to Benet Academy on Saturday. While losing is never fun, the Hawks can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Illinois football rankings (they are ranked 205th, while the Redwings are ranked 58th).
Although Hillcrest took the loss, they still got scores from Erimus Wright and Jacob Johnson.
Meanwhile, Montini Catholic never let their opponents score on Friday. They blew past Hyde Park, posting a 49-0 win at home. The score at the end of the third wound up being the final score as the Broncos just coasted through the last quarter.
Hillcrest might still be hurting after the 44-24 defeat they got from Montini Catholic in their previous meeting back in September of 2023. That matchup was all but decided by halftime, at which point Hillcrest was down 23-0.
