Anytime the Naperville Central and Naperville North football teams play each other, the game will draw a lot of attention. An estimated 15,000 fans showed up for the rivals' first confrontation back in October at North Central College to watch a 31-14 Redhawks triumph. |

Today's postseason contest will be decidedly different, however, with the culmination of the whole season on the line. "It's not do-or-die in the regular-season - now it is," Naperville North coach Larry McKeon said. "That's pretty definite. There's a finality in the playoffs." It's not clear how many will show up in the stands at the Redhawks' field this afternoon, but it's a sure bet no one will be disappointed with the competition. |
