The Dukes storm the field in preparation to take on a third in state Hinsdale Central team.

Coming off a tough loss to Glenbard West 47-7 last Saturday, the Dukes came home and prepared for a match up against Hinsdale Central who is ranked third in the state. After falling down 14-0 in the first quarter, the team was quick to bounce back and not let the game slip out of their hands. Senior running back Nick Conroy lead the charge rushing for two second quarter touchdowns on back-to-back possessions. Tied at 21 with ten minutes remaining in the game, junior quarterback Max Assaad threw an interception right at midfield. The Red Devils wasted no time and scored with 5:22 remaining and ultimately held on to win 28-21.
