Willowbrook High School’s football team earned a post-season victory when it beat Chicago’s Amundsen High School 42-6 in an IHSA Class 6A preliminary-round playoff game in Villa Park on Saturday, Oct. 24. The Warriors scored three touchdowns in the first quarter and added two more touchdowns in the second quarter to take a 35-0 halftime lead. Willowbrook senior kicker Ben Swanson (39) made all six of his extra-point attempts in the afternoon contest, which was played in bright and pleasant conditions. He is pictured during his extra-point kick after the Warriors’ first touchdown of the game. Willowbrook, which raised its season record to 6-4 with the win, continues its season with an Oct. 30 road battle against the Indians of Rockton’s Hononegah High School.
