O'brien Made His Presence Known in Fremd's 28-21 Loss

The loss snapped Fremd's winning streak at six games and leaves them with a 6-1 record. O'Brien and Fremd will face off against Schaumburg at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.

Gamescore: 31.60
Another Barrington player making an appearance on this list is Nick Peipert. He threw for 284 yards and two touchdowns while completing 85.7% of his passes.
