OPRF picks up couple first downs but then gets stopped. Punt rolls down to NT 8 yard line.

NT moves ball but then gets stopped around midfield. NT punts.

OPRF marches down the field and scores. McGill completed a big pass to Shelton on a 3rd down and then the run game took over. OP puts LB #1 Cedric Chaetem at RB and he bowls into end zone.

NT goes three n out, QB sacked on 3rd down. NT punts and OP takes over at New Trier 43 yard line. McGill turns a bad read option into a 43yard TD run after some dazzling. Wow. OPRF in charge here in the first half.

NT completes long pass into OPRF territory. NT looks have sense of urgency now. Two more passes completed and NT is knocking at the door. 1st n 10 from OP 13. NT goes to air and ball is nearly intercepted. 2nd down. NT to air again and pass is broken up almost intercepted again. 3rd down. Pass complete down to 1 yard line. Really nice execution from NT on that one. NT goes to the ground and gets it on first down. NT 7 OP 14.

McGill completes 46yard pass to Shelton. OP threatening. 3rd and 4 from 10 yard line. OP gives ball to LB Cheatem and gets it. McGill takes QB keeper into end zone. PAT blocked.

NT pretty much committed to passing the ball now. On 3rd down NT QB scrambles for first down. Another completion by NT. NT QB playing great, completes pass down to OP 6. Holding on NT pushes'em back to 16. NT tries to run read option and can only get 2. Pass complete. 3rd and goal from 6. QB under pressure and sacked. 4th and goal and NT rushes onto field to kick FG. Roughing kicker against OP. 1st down with 8 seconds left on 3 yard line. NT offense comes onto field. NT runs pass easy TD but there's a flag and it's pass interference on NT (kind of like a moving screen). Too bad because the NT WR was wide open and so the screen was not needed. Kid would have scored anyhow. Now NT has to kick the field goal from the 18. OP calls timeout. NT kicker nails 35 yarder. Crazy way to end half. Great first half. OPRF has to adjust to the NT passing attack and NT has to find a way to slow down the OPRF run game.

Q3: NT takes over. Completes pass but fumble, NT recovers. Another pass complete by NT. Ball at midfield. OP gets a couple stops, forces 4th down. NT tries to run up the middle but gets stuffed and turns it over on downs.

OP faces 3rd n 6. McGill completes pass to Shelton for 1st down. Wow. 2 nice runs by OP. Ball at NT 30. Another 3rd down and McGill almost gets it, block in back called on OP. 3rd n 16. McGill pass incomplete. 4th n 16. OP to punt. Ball spotted at NT own 11 yard line. Nice punt.

NT QB sacked on 1st and 2nd down. NT faces 3rd n long from its own 4 yard line. Pass incomplete. 4th and 17 from its own 4 for NT. Punt returned by OP to NT 22 yard line.

OP to the ground and Bryant picks up about 15. 1st n goal for OP. OP hurries to line to get snap off before end quarter and they score. OPRF in control.

Q4: On 2nd down NT goes deep and the QB takes a huge lick. Pass broken up. NT faces 3rd n 10. Pass complete for 1st down but there is a flag. Holding on OPRF. Penalty declined. NT goes to air on 1st down and pass is thrown away. 2nd NT pass broken up by OP CB. 3rd down. NT goes deep and ball is just slightly overthrown. 4th down. NT goes deep but ball is thrown where no one is around. Turnover on downs.

On 2nd down McGill picks up 1st down with nice run. Naz Bryant rips one for another 15 or so. Bryant again and he turns a broken play into another 12 or so yards. Keith Robinson gets the ball on the next play and just blows thru the line and up into the end zone. Holding called against OPRF. On 1st down OP to Bryant and they pick up 3. On next play OP to air, McGill pump fakes and throws a TD. OPRF rolling with 8 and a half left in the game. NT 10 OPRF 34

NT completes a couple nice passes but then throws an INT. Flag on play. Pass Int on OPRF. There is also personal foul on OP. Ball down to OP 7. NT completes pass for TD. NT going for 2. No good.

OP gets ball back and drives down into red zone. Gets stopped on downs. NT takes over. NT forced into 4th down. NT going for it on its own 15. Qb gets hit real hard. Turnover on downs and that's it for this one folks. Gonna be a helluva 2nd round game.

Looks like OPRF well on its way to victory - and a likely second-round game with Brother Rice. Checked this year's regular-season schedules - Rice had 6 regular-season home games, OPRF 5. With both Rice and OPRF hosting this weekend, per IHSA rules, for the second round and beyond, the school with the lesser amount of home games hosts a playoff game. And so, OPRF would host Rice in a second-round game
