Joliet Catholic quarterback Brad Bourg’s broken left fibula will sideline him for five weeks and force the 10th-ranked Hilltoppers to make adjustments offensively, starting Friday night at Marist.
John Keirnen, who started on the sophomore level last year, will take over for Bourg.
“Keirnen is more of a drop-back passer, while Brad was like the fourth running back in our double-wing option offense,” said coach Dan Sharp. “We’ll probably go with some play-action stuff.” . . .
Thanks to portable lighting, No. 6 Maine South will play the first home night game in its history when it faces Glenbrook South at 7 Thursday in Park Ridge. . . .
Two kickers drawing early All-State attention are Chris Nendick of Naperville Central and Nick Iovonelli of Lisle. Nendick converted all four of his field-goal tries in last week’s 40-0 victory over West Aurora. Iovonelli made field goals of 20, 40 and 47 yards in a 16-0 victory over Coal City. . . .
