Lincoln-Way West junior running back Nick Dangles carried the load for the Warriors in a 28-20 football victory over Bradley-Bourbonnais. His fans carried the load for him in voting for Patch's Athlete of the Week.
If there was ever a doubt about the strength of the relationship between Lincoln-Way West junior running back Nick Dangles and the big boys throwing blocks for him in the trenches, then offensive lineman Jake Benson’s comments should put that notion to bed. “He’s been our workhorse all season, and once again he carried us,” Benson said after Dangles rushed for 148 yards and scored two touchdowns in Lincoln-Way West’s 28-20 football victory over Bradley-Bourbonnais. Dangles scored on runs of 3 and 75 yards before exiting in the fourth quarter with an injury. His performance helped the Warriors (7-2, 6-1) wrap up a share of the Southwest Suburban Red Conference championship in their regular-season finale. He is honored today as the Patch …

Sports Editor Ron Kremer hit on 4-of-5 picks last week to end a brief slump. He thinks Andrew has what it takes to top Lincoln-Way North tonight? What do you think?
1. Shepard (3-4) at Evergreen Park (5-2), 7. Quick Take: Shepard must win to keep its slim playoff hopes alive. Evergreen Park must win to stay in hunt in the South Suburban Red. Pick: Evergreen Park. 2. Loyola (7-0) at Brother Rice (5-2), 7:30. Quick Take: It’s the running of Brother Rice’s Walkers (Andrew and Martez) vs. the spread-offense passing attack of the Ramblers and Malcolm Weaver. Scoreboard lights could burn out here. Pick: Loyola. 3. Sandburg (5-2) at Lockport (5-2), 7. Quick Take: In a 27-3 loss to Bolingbrook, the Eagles’ only points came on a 53-yard field goal by Ted Vergados. Look for Sandburg’s offense to pick up the pace here. Pick: Sandburg. 4. Andrew (4-3) at Lincoln-Way North (4-3), 7. Quick Take: Lincoln-Way North …

Brother Rice ranks No. 2 in this week's Patch Power Rankings. The Crusaders' challenge will be to stop a Loyola offense that spreads the field and lights up the scoreboard. Tinley Park is back at No. 5.
1. Lincoln-Way East (7-0): Griffins look to hit the century mark with their 100th win in their 11th season of high school football. Last week: No. 1. Tonight: vs. Joliet Central, 7:30. 2. Brother Rice (5-2): Crusaders’ challenge is to stop Loyola’s high-powered offense. Nobody’s done it yet. Ramblers average 36.1 points. Last Week: No. 2. Tonight: vs. Loyola, 7:30. 3. Homewood-Flossmoor (5-2): Trap game? H-F can’t afford to look toward Oct. 21 matchup vs. Sandburg. Nor can the Vikings get caught up in hoopla of playing final regular-season home game. Last week: No. 3. Tonight: vs. Joliet West, 7:30. 4. Sandburg (5-2): Eagles’ final two regular-season opponents boast a combined record of 10-4. Playoffs start early here. Last week: No. 4. …

Patch Sports Editor Ron Kremer makes his 5 Hot Picks for tonight's high school football games. Does one of his picks on your nerves?
1. Bolingbrook (5-1) at Sandburg (5-1), 7:30. Quick Take: Aaron Bailey and Raiders let a 14-0 lead slip away in loss to Lincoln-Way East. Eagles trounced Joliet Central. Tough loss. Easy win. Who has the mental edge here? Pick: Bolingbrook. 2. Oak Forest (5-1) at Tinley Park (5-1), 7. Quick Take: Much has been made of Tinley Park’s thunder-and-lightning combo in the backfield. Oak Forest counters with speed and power of its own. Plus, the Bengals have allowed half as many points as the Titans (169-83). Pick: Oak Forest. 3. Oak Lawn (3-3) at Richards (3-3), 7. Quick Take: Battle for bragging rights in Oak Lawn. Can Spartans avoid turnovers that have plagued them or will the Bulldogs’ Tommy Mister have his way? Pick: Richards. 4. St. …
