Ryan Wilkens of Glenbard North took and 0 - 9 team from last year to a 6 - 3 record this year in the tough DuKane conference. Only losses were early in the season against teams that all made the playoffs (Neuqua Valley, Warren and Batavia). Advanced to a second round playoff game against Mount Carmel that was anybody's game until the 4th quarter.
That is an amazing turnaround. I'm a St. Charles East fan that didn't give GBN much of a chance of doing anything meaningful this year and I ate some big crow. Hats off to Wilkens and the Panther players.
