CENTRAL SUBURBAN SOUTH

Outlook: With 10 league titles under coach Dave Inserra, Maine South still is the team to beat. But Mike Burzawa has Evanston on the upswing.

Top five players Ht. Wt. Yr.

QB Matt Alviti, Maine South 6-1 175 Jr.

OL/DL Mike Demos, GB South 6-4 248 Sr.

TE/DL Leonard Garron, Evan. 6-4 200 Sr.

QB Jack Nykaza, New Trier 6-1 190 Sr.

QB Reggie Richter, Waukegan 6-3 205 Sr.

Quote: “I will continue to use what happened last year for years to come. It’s like, ‘Hey, let’s not have to learn the hard way again.’ Let’s learn our lessons before we get beat.” — Inserra, whose Hawks lost their first two games before winning their third state title in a row.

Did you know? Before Maine South’s run of 10 in a row, New Trier won three CSL South championships from 1998-2000. Evanston won the title in 1997.

Predicted finish: Maine South, Evanston, Glenbrook South, New Trier, Niles West, Waukegan
