7A Football Semifinal Game Moved to Glenbard South
Glenbard West will face Lake Zurich at 1 p.m. Saturday in the Class 7A football semifinals. But the game will be played at Glenbard South.
The site of the big game has changed.
Glenbard West (12-0) will face Lake Zurich (10-2) at 1 p.m. Saturday in the Class 7A football semifinals. But the game will be played at Glenbard South rather than on Glenbard West's home field.
The change comes as a result of last Saturday's heavy rains and freezing temperatures overnight this week that made preparing Glenbard West's field difficult, according to an IHSA news release.
