A heads-up play by a senior running back led to a Husky win Friday night in the first round of the 8A playoffs.
Senior running back Tom Odell caught a wild 50-yard touchdown pass off of a tipped ball with 1:15 left in the fourth quarter and Oak Park-River Forest came from behind again to beat Hinsdale Central, 28-24, in the first round of the 8A playoffs Friday night in Hinsdale. Trailing 24-21 on that final Huskies drive, sophomore quarterback Lloyd Yates threw a ball down the sideline intended for senior wideout Ryan Nelson. Hinsdale Central safety Andrew Eck tipped the ball away from Nelson, but Odell was in the right place at the right time, caught the ball, and dashed into the end zone. Odell said he was hoping to be Yates' original target on the play, but he didn't give up on the play when it went to Nelson. "I just put myself in a good …

The two teams met earlier this month, when the Huskies came from behind to beat the Red Devils in overtime.

The Red Devils head into the postseason with a 7-2 record, but didn't sound satisfied with their play in Friday's season finale.
Senior quarterback Brian Owens completed 13 of 23 passes for 223 yards and rushed for a touchdown as Hinsdale Central eked out a 20-17 win over York and improved its playoff resume in its regular season finale Friday night in Hinsdale. The Red Devils (7-2, 4-2) head into the playoffs after back-to-back wins, but head coach Rich Tarka wasn't too pleased with his team's performance against the Dukes, who finished the season without a win but hung around Friday night and were a defensive stop away from making things very interesting. "We just made enough mistakes to keep us out of our flow," Tarka said. A pair of fumbles, some missed assignments on the offensive line, and some forced throws by the quarterback were among "the little things" …
