Friday night takeaways
Won and in
With a pair of Friday victories, DuPage Valley Conference rivals Neuqua Valley and Waubonsie Valley both improved to 6-3 and clinched a playoff berth.
Wait and see
Glenbard South, Westmont and Wheaton Academy are 5-4. Each is playoff eligible but will have to wait until Saturday night to see if they make the field of 256 as an at-large.
Olsen...again
WW South kicker Jack Olsen, who had an IHSA record 8 field goals in the season opener, kicked a 41-yard game-winner in a 13-11 win at St. Charles North.
