Here's five storylines to watch heading into Week 8 of the high school football season.
Where did the big games go?: Maybe Week 9 when Batavia and St. Charles North meet likely for the DuKane Conference title. Or St. Francis and IC Catholic Prep square off in a matchup of state-ranked teams, and the best of the Metro Suburban's Red and Blue divisions. And a second Naperville North/Naperville Central game after the Redhawks won the first in OT.
In the Central Suburban South, Maine South is 3-0 looking to continue its stranglehold on the title and plays a pair of 2-1 teams, Evanston and New Trier, the final two weeks. The Fox Valley could be headed to a 3-way tie with Huntley, Prairie Ridge and Jacobs all at 6-1 and no games left between each other. St. Charles North has made it through the DuKane at 5-0 a game ahead of Wheaton North and Batavia, but two tough tests await against Glenbard North and the Bulldogs. Neuqua Valley is still perfect to lead the DuPage Valley as is South Elgin in the Upstate Eight, Downers Grove South in the WSC Gold and York in the WSC Silver.
