Lemont is one win away from advancing to the 6A IHSA championship game after its 21-14 victory over rival Oak Forest on Saturday night.
Breaking It Down: Lemont looked like the more dominant team on the Oak Forest Bengals' field during the first half of their matchup. The Bengals were statistically better in almost every category compared to Lemont during the second half of the Saturday evening contest. However, the Indians' 14-6 lead that the team built-up in the first half was too much for Oak Forest to come back. Lemont came away with its second win of the season on its rival's home turf by a score of 21-14. With the wind howling, both teams relied on their ground games heavily throughout the contest. There were a total of 70 running plays called compared to 25 passing attempts. All touchdowns scored in the game were punched in via the ground. Three of them were by …

Lemont overcame an early deficit to Richards by forcing six turnovers and recording a safety in their 23-19 victory.
Breaking It Down: Coming back from a 13-0 deficit against a 9-1 opponent in a road playoff game is no easy task, Lemont head football coach Eric Michaelsen told his team in his post-game pep-talk to the Indians. But his players were able to find a way to do just that, defeating Richards 23-19, led by their quarterback Zach Brosseau, who completed his first six passes of the second half after connecting on only five of them in the first two quarters. Richards quarterback Hasan Muhammad-Rogers was a significant reason the Bulldogs had the lead into the final minutes of the first half and stayed competitive for the majority of the evening. He threw touchdown passes of 54 and 52-yards to Tacari Carpenter, plus scrambled for a 20-yard touchdown…

Lemont kicker Joe Hehir's missed extra point attempt cost the Indians a 21-20 loss in overtime to T-F South.
Breaking It Down: When Joe Hehir lined up for a 42-yard field goal with 8 seconds left in regulation to break a 14-14 tie with T-F South, Lemont fans had reason to feel confident. Even though the kicker had missed an attempt in the second quarter, Hehir had connected on over 50-yard field goals previously. He won the game for Lemont in a similar situation just a week earlier. But, he could only put his head down, as he walked back to the Lemont sideline after watching his kick bounce off the field goal post's bottom crossbar. T-F South was able to take advantage of its new life in overtime, and took a 21-14 lead after Joe Young broke a tackle on his way to a 2-yard touchdown. Lemont's offense did not flinch, scoring on a Mitch Balek 5-yard…
