Both of Glen Ellyn's football teams are in great shape record-wise going into this Friday's games.

Glenbard West vs. Oak Park-River Forest

Two football powerhouses will do battle Friday, when the Glenbard West Hilltoppers (4-1) take on the Huskies of Oak Park-River Forest (5-0) in Glen Ellyn.

Both teams had easy wins last weekend. The Hilltoppers rolled to a 37-7 win over Hinsdale Central Sept. 28 at home, and the Huskies embarrassed York during a 41-13 Homecoming rout in Elmhurst.

Here's the rest of Glenbard West's schedule; only three games are left in the regular season:

Glenbard South vs. Riverside Brookfield

All signs lead to a win for the Raiders this Friday in Riverside, considering Glenbard South is undefeated and Riverside-Brookfield has yet to win a game this season. 

The Bulldogs were close last weekend in their 20-14 loss against Ridgewood High School, but the rest of their matchups have been lopsided. The Raiders, on the other hand, have been showing no mercy to their opponents, especially at last weekend's Homecoming game when they shut out Elmwood Park 48-0.

Game time is 7:30 p.m. Friday at 160 Ridgwood Road in Riverside.

Here's the rest of the Raiders' schedule:
