The biggest shakeup of the season so far, including a new team on top.
Super 25 new additions
New Trier: The Trevians split with Evanston this weekend, but might wind up helping their rival out on Monday if they beat Glenbrook South.
Lemont: Freshman Nojus Indrusaitis is drawing raves and it’s possible I’ve been sleeping on the Indians for a little too long.
Lake Forest: The Scouts are very talented and have put together an excellent season, only losing to Mundelein and at St. Patrick.
Waubonsie Valley: Loyola recruit Ben Schwieger and the Warriors knocked off Bolingbrook and Metea Valley last week.
Dropping out
Bolingbrook (8-4): Coach Rob Brost’s youngish group lost to Lockport and Waubonsie Valley last week.
Barrington (9-2): It’s been a really solid season for Barrington, but the Broncos fall out after losing to Palatine in overtime.
North Lawndale (1-1): This one is a little tricky. The Phoenix actually went 1-0 this week, beating a good Lincoln Park team. But the team didn’t play its next two games and the season appears to be on hold or canceled.
Richards (8-2): The Bulldogs drop out after losses to Oak Forest and Lemont.
