No. 4 Glenbard West at No. 6 York, 7:30 p.m. Friday
This was the matchup last year that showed York had arrived. The Dukes won 12-10 in Glen Ellyn, earning their first victory in the series since 2007 and clinching their first IHSA playoff berth since 2011. Dual-threat quarterback Matt Vezza, who had 245 total yards in that win, is back and is one of a number of offensive difference makers for York (5-0, 3-0). And don’t forget the Dukes’ defense, which has allowed 38 points all season. Junior back Julius Ellens of Glenbard West (5-0, 3-0) has been one of the season’s breakout stars, running behind a big, experienced offensive line. The Hilltoppers are the third straight unbeaten opponent for York, which beat Downers North in overtime and then knocked off Lyons last week.
