1. They’re playing “Big D” in Bolingbrook: When 303- pound Roosevelt Holliday rambles 68 yards for a TD after a takeaway, you know the Raiders are clicking. Bolingbrook has forced 29 turnovers this season.
2. Wheaton Warrenville South and Naperville North continue on their collision course: We could see potential state champions (Wheaton in 7A, Naperville in 8A) duel for the DuPage Valley title on the final Friday of the regular season.
3. Here come Palatine and Sandburg: Neither was on the preseason radar, and both are now bona fide league-title contenders. Palatine controls its fate in the Mid-Suburban West, while Sandburg has a first-place showdown with Bolingbrook on Friday in the SW Suburban Blue.
4. This could be Glenbrook South’s year: The Titans came within five seconds of forcing overtime against No. 1 Maine South in their 30-27 loss Friday. Glenbrook South would love a rematch in the 8A playoffs.
5. Antioch is for real: There were questions about the Sequoits’ undefeated season and the caliber of their competition. But Cameron White & Co. knocked off Grant and Vernon Hills in successive weeks to take control of the North Suburban Prairie.
