The football team is looking to go out and make a statement for this football season. The Red Devils are 6-0 and are playing with a different sense of urgency this year from years prior.

One of the huge reasons for this strong start with the Red Devils is the mindset that the team has for this year. Wide receivers Coach Matt Mcniif said that this year the Devils are not holding anything back this year.

“In years past I believe we have been scared to try things like take more shots down field but this year we feel like we have the athletes to make big plays downfield ... READ FULL STORY

Hinsdale Central's Michael Brescia and Braden Contreras have quite the chemistry going.

That has spelled doom for their opponents.

In improving to 6-0 in the fall, and 3-0 in the West Suburban Silver, Hinsdale Central moved one step closer to a showdown with Glenbard West in Week 8 while clinching a playoff berth.

Defensive back Nyme Hussain is apparently a quick study, because in only his second week as a starter, he came up with a game-changing play when Hinsdale Central faced York on Friday night.

Hussain, a junior from Hinsdale, has seen his playing time increase as he fills in for senior Drew Novatney, who is dealing with an injury.

With the score tied in the fourth quarter, Hussain intercepted a York pass attempt near midfield, which put the Red Devils in good position to mount a game-winning drive.

Hinsdale Central responded. Junior quarterback Michael Brescia supplied a touchdown run to help the Red Devils claim a 28-21 West Suburban Silver ... READ FULL STORY
