Tigers Victorious in Classic Contest
Despite several critical turnovers and some questionable officiating, Saturday’s Class 7A state championship game between Wheaton Warrenville South and Glenbard West was just what it should have been—two evenly-matched teams going down to the wire for the top spot in the state.
“I’m really proud of our kids,” said Tiger coach Ron Muhitch, whose team came away with a 31-24 win in double overtime. “But I’m proud of Glenbard West as well. It’s great to see two teams, just a stone’s throw away from each other, represent DuPage County so well.”
Wheaton Warrenville South reigns as Class 7A state champs, after defeating Glenbard West 31-24 in double overtime this afternoon at Memorial Stadium in Champaign.
For the Tigers, it marked the sixth time that they have captured the state title, their last one also coming under the tutelage of Coach Ron Muhitch back in 2006. Only four of the 760 Illinois high school football teams can lay claim to more than six state football championships.
Saturday, Nov. 21 . . . Running back Julian Banuelos and quarterback Riley O'Toole each scored a pair of touchdowns and Nick Immekus added two field goals as Wheaton Warrenville South handily defeated East St. Louis 34-15 when the two teams met this afternoon in a Class 7A semifinal matchup at Red Grange Field in Wheaton.
With the win, the Tigers advance to the state championship game at Memorial Stadium in Champaign next Saturday, Nov. 28 at 4:00 p.m., where they will face Glenbard West who defeated Lake Zurich 21-17 in the other Class 7A semifinal contest played today.
The championship game will be televised live on Channel 50.
