The Starting VII

Week 3

By Aaron Brown

Seven things to look for in the third week of the season:

I. Fenwick Tournament (Boys)

12 of the Top 25 teams head to Fenwick over the weekend in a tournament that should answer a lot of questions about the rest of the season. Check the Week 3 Schedule for a complete listing of teams participating.

II. Schaumburg Tournament (Boys)

Schaumburg plays host to three of the top teams from Missouri, in addition to Top 25 teams Mundelein and York.

III. Lyons Tournament (Girls)

This Saturday-only tournament features three Top 25 teams, including the hosts, Stevenson, and Evanston.

IV. Brother Rice at Fenwick (Boys)

Another chapter in a historic rivalry continues on Monday night, as the Friars look to remain undefeated against the fourth-ranked Crusaders.

V. Loyola at St Patrick (Boys)

Both teams have been impressive in the first two weeks of the season, so something will have to give on Monday night when the two face off in a Catholic League showdown.

VI. McAuley at Loyola (Girls)

Wednesday night's Catholic League matchup between McAuley and Loyola should be an exciting battle between Top 10 teams.

VII. Neuqua at GBS (Boys)

John Mikuzis and the WIldcats head north to play in Glenbrook South's new all-deep pool in a game that features two of the Top 10 teams in the state.

The First Sub

LWE at Sandburg (Girls)

Both teams will look to challenge for the Southwest Suburban Conference championship in 2009, so Friday's matchup will give one team the early advantage in the title race.
