DaVaris Daniels and Evan Spencer didn't disappoint on opening

night.

The Vernon Hills stars combined for four touchdowns as the hosts

cruised past Niles West 45-0 on Friday night.

Daniels ran in a score from seven yards out and broke free on a 53-yard TD

on a wide receiver screen pass from senior quarterback Chris Argianas.

Spencer had a 25-yard touchdown run and a 61-yard score on another screen

pass ­ this time from junior quarterback Steve Nelson.

Senior running back Brian Palmer also added 137 yards and a touchdown on 14

carries for the Cougars (1-0).

After the game, Daniels confirmed he already knows where he wants to play in

college. The 6-foot-3, 180-pound receiver added that he doesn't know whether

he'll make an announcement in the next couple weeks or months.

"I just have get it to where it's the right feeling ­ 100 percent sure,"

said Daniels, one of the top prospects in the country. "Right now, I'm at

about 98 percent. I want to wait for sure that there's no place I'd rather

be."
