No one expected anything less than a fight to the bitter end from this Neuqua Valley football team, even after Maine South had taken a 14-0 lead in the third quarter of Saturday night's Class 8A quarterfinal in Naperville. Sure enough the Wildcats, with a proud and talented group of senior leaders, fought hard to the very end before coming up just short in a thrilling, yet gut-wrenching 14-13 defeat to the 11-1 Hawks, who will take on Marist in next weekend's state semifinal action.
