Naperville Central’s Gavin Wade gains yards during a game against Hinsdale Central in Hinsdale on Friday, Aug. 25, 2023.The Naperville Central junior was sidelined for seven weeks after breaking a bone in his left foot early this summer, so he missed all of the team’s workouts.“It happened at the North Central camp,” Wade said. “I stepped on a blocking pad. It was a weird break, on the outside of my foot. But I had really good physical therapy, which got me back.
“It’s funny,” Ulreich said. “We were apprehensive about . He’s so good when he’s close to the football, and sure enough, in the first quarter we put him in the back half, and he finds a way to get around the ball.” Wade, the fifth Naperville Central ball carrier of the game, carried three times on the opening drive of the second half, including back-to-back gains of 5 and 8 yards, which preceded senior running back Jude Sutherland’s go-ahead 4-yard touchdown run with 7:18 left in the third quarter.
