Phillips at Lane, 7:15 p.m. Friday
Both teams are 3-0 in the Red North; the winner clinches at least a share of the title in one of the Public League’s two top conferences. It’s been a storybook season for Lane (6-0 overall), which is assured of its first state playoff berth since 2013 and first winning season since 2008. The Champions rely on an old-school double-wing offense and a swarming defense. Lane has allowed just 61 points all year, including only 35 in the last five games. Phillips has won three straight after starting 0-3 against Batavia, Mount Carmel and Morgan Park, who are a combined 16-2.
