SOUTHWEST SUBURBAN BLUE

Outlook: Homewood-Flossmoor, which returns QB Tim Williams and a bevy of receivers from a Class 8A semifinal qualifier last season, is favored in a league that produced five playoff teams last year and could do so again.

Top five players Ht. Wt. Yr.

OL Dan Feeney, Sandburg 6-4 303 Sr.

LB Brad Johnson, Lockport 6-2 215 Sr.

LB Antonio Morrison, Bolingbrook 6-2 230 Sr.

QB Tim Williams, H-F 6-6 210 Sr.

QB Blake Winkler, Lincoln-Way East 6-0 180 Sr.

Quote: “He’ll probably miss the first couple of games, but we’re going to take it slow,” — New Lockport coach Don McKillip on quarterback Billy Reed, who is currently out with a knee injury. Senior Kyle Smart will start in his place.

Did you know? Bolingbrook has not had a losing season since 1981 and has qualified for the playoffs the past 19 straight seasons.

Predicted finish: Homewood-Floosmoor, Lincoln-Way East, Bolingbrook, Lockport, Sandburg, Joliet West, Lincoln-Way Central, Joliet Central.
