Red Devils top Downers North

Hinsdale Central 34, Downers North 6: Defensive lineman Patrick Clegg led a goal-line stand that ultimately propelled the No. 12 Red Devils (5-1, 3-0 West Subruban Silver) to claim Old Oaken bucket.

Leading 6-0 in the second half, the Trojans ( 3-3, 2-1) were on the Hinsdale Central 5-yard line, but the defense held on three straight plays.

On the very next play, quarterback John Whitelaw hit Mic Culligan for 95-yard touchdown pass that triggered Hinsdale Central’s victory.

‘‘You live for those types of moments, where you have the opportunity to show how competitive you are,’’ Clegg said. ‘‘It was a lot of fun out there, and from there we took the momentum right away.

‘‘With a tradition of the bucket, it was a great time to be on the field and have the opportunity to make a great play.’’
