Preview: The Hitters hit the road in Week 5 for a highly anticipated rematch against Lyons Township (8-3), the team Glenbard West narrowly edged out for the conference title in 2025. Both squads are hungry to advance further this year after seeing their respective 2025 playoff runs cut short in the 2nd round. LT's offense is headlined by star senior running back EJ Kuhlman, an explosive playmaker who set a school record last season with a blistering 246-yard rushing performance against York. While the Hitters have historically controlled this matchup—holding a dominant 14-4 series lead since 2007—recent history promises a battle, coming off last year's thrilling 24-17 Glenbard West victory at Duchon Field.
