Friday night takeaways

1. Road warriors

Neuqua Valley beat Bishop Chatard 35-14 in Indianapolis. Cameron Raupach ran for 127 yards and a touchdown. Jack Bastable and Jake Eskoff combined for 148 yards passing, each with a touchdown pass to Isaiah Robertson.

2. Congrats!

Congratulations to the four area teams that stayed unbeaten at 5-0 and at the same time became playoff eligible: Hinsdale Central, IC Catholic Prep, Naperville North and Neuqua Valley.

3. Broken

Benet entered Friday night on a three-game losing streak to ESCC rival Nazareth, but the Redwings began a new streak with a 26-21 victory over the two-time defending state champion Roadrunners.

4. Shoulda been there

Game of the night award definitely goes to Naperville Central-Wheaton Warrenville South. The Redhawks pulled out a 43-42 two-overtime win on a 2-point conversion halfback option pass by A.J. Deinhart to Joshua Ruiz.
