Takeaways from Saturday football
1. Yes, takeaways:
After Montini's Mitch West recovered a fumble and also stripped a DeKalb receiver for another fumble recovered by Taylor Reed in the Broncos' 49-14 victory, Montini's turnover ratio on the season is plus-35.
2. Hetlet's century:
Saturday's win over Auburn gave Glenbard West coach Chad Hetlet his 100th victory with the Hilltoppers, who advance to the semifinals for the sixth time in eight years. Seventy-four wins have come in those six seasons.
3. Rising to the top:
A No. 30 seed in Class 8A, Waubonsie Valley's 17-0 win over Naperville Central and No. 31 Niles North's loss in Class 7A make the Warriors the state's lowest-seeded team still alive. Waubonsie and semifinal foe No. 23 Marist both entered the playoffs at 5-4.
