In a bit of a shocker, #2 Providence opened their season with a showcase contest at Soldier Field against Morgan Park in a game many thought would be a Celtic victory.

For the #5 Bolingbrook Raiders, the start of their 2010 could not have been better after beating non conference nemesis Downers Grove South Friday night 28-21 in what many considered an upset.

Hinsdale South opened their season against Romeoville at home last Friday night. A temporary home at Hinsdale Centrals facility that is as a new turf field for the Hornets wasn’t fully completed for their home opener.

Joliet West took the field for the first time in 18 seasons as the Tigers while a filled stadium cheered on their team in gold and black. The atmosphere at the campus was thrilling and frankly, it was difficult to find a parking spot with the amount of fans in attendance of the Joliet home opener.
