Aurora Christian quarterback Jordan Roberts now owns another Illinois passing record. Roberts, who earlier this year took over as the state’s all-time touchdown thrower, is now the state’s leader in passing yardage. Friday night Roberts broke the record of 8,308 yards set last year by Rochester’s Wil Lunt. Aurora Christian beat Wheaton Academy 34-19.
Elsewhere, the David vs. Goliath Battle between 8A St. Rita and 1A Hope Academy went to Goliath as St. Rita improved to 8-1 with a 49-0 shutout. It was the first time in Illinois history that two teams from the state’s biggest and smallest classification had ever met on the gridiron.

East St. Louis began the season on a low note, but that makes the song that much sweeter a week before the Illinois high school football championships. Saturday the Flyers beat Glenbard West 27-20 to advance to the 7A title game against Geneva. It was East St. Louis’ 12th straight win after beginning the season at the #1 7A team in Illinois and then losing 20-12 to Huber Heights Wayne (OH) in the Kirk Herbstreit Varsity Football Series.
