Glenbard South vs Rich East

The Raiders (2-0) are home this week against Rich East (0-2).

South opened the season strong, with a 39-21 win over Addison Trail Aug. 30, followed by a nail-biter against Antioch 23-22 Sept. 6.

Kickoff is 7:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 13.

And, here's a super-easy way to raise money for the Glenbard South Booster Club. Reserve 22, the new bar and restaurant at the Village Links of Glen Ellyn, will host Raiders Football Night every home game Friday evening in 2013.

Anyone who mentions Glenbard South or Raiders Football will have 15 percent of the food portion of their bill donated to the Glenbard South Boosters Club. Raiders Football Night will run 4 p.m. to close on game nights to allow fans to dine before or after the game (Sept. 13, 27 and Oct. 11). Reserve 22 is located about two miles from the school at 485 Winchell Way in Glen Ellyn. 

“This year is going to be very exciting," football Coach Jeremy Cordell said. "I think it’s a great idea.”

The weather at game time should be clear and about 60 degrees, perfect for breaking out that hoodie.
