For the fourth time in five years, Glenbard West will be playing Lake Zurich this Saturday in the post-season — it will be the third time the two teams have met in the semifinal, according to the Chicago Tribune.
Last year, Glenbard West beat Lake Zurich 19-13 to continue onto the state championship, according to the article. The Chicago Tribune reports an "improved passing game" led by its quarterback, Noah Allgood, could mean the difference this year for Lake Zurich, who has lost to Glenbard West in the last two of the three semifinal games.
Glenbard West, a No. 3 seed, beat Schaumburg High School 42-21 in the quarterfinal, according to the Illinois High School Association website.
