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!
Aaron Stewart Goes Supernova in Warren Township Victory
Starting off the list is Warren Township's Aaron Stewart, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Stewart rushed for 247 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 7.3 yards per carry. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his third straight game with at least 149 rushing yards dating back to last season.
Stewart must have Mundelein's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. Stewart rushed for 168 yards and two touchdowns while picking up 9.3 yards per carry, and also picked up 35 receiving yards and a touchdown the last time he and the Mustangs duked it out back in September of 2023.

Maddux Hermestroff's Rushing Yards a New Career-High
Maddux Hermestroff posted a new career-high in rushing yards on Friday. He made 12 total tackles (2.0 for loss) and defended a pass. He showed off some serious burst, cutting through the defense on one rush that went for 67 yards.
Mundelein is on a three-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 3-3. Hermestroff and Mundelein are taking a road trip to challenge Lake Zurich at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday.

Libertyville Wins Sixth-Straight Thanks to Quinn Schambow
Libertyville picked up their sixth consecutive win on Friday thanks in part to Quinn Schambow. Schambow did his part (and then some), throwing for 280 yards and four touchdowns while picking up 12.7 yards per attempt for the 'W'. He is on a roll when it comes to passing touchdowns, as he's now passed for four or more in the last six games he's played dating back to last season.
Waukegan had to have seen this coming; the last time they saw Schambow it was a similar story. When Schambow last faced the Bulldogs back in September of 2023, he threw for 287 yards and five touchdowns while picking up 13.7 yards per attempt.
