Coaches like to say the best thing about freshmen is that they become sophomores. For Benet, it can certainly put a similar spin in regard to its 2011 season. Finishing the 2011 season 1-8 and going winless in the East Suburban Catholic Conference, the best thing about 2011 for the Redwings is that the calendar has now turned to 2012. “A fresh … ]]> Sat, 18 Aug 2012 16:32:31 CST http://highschoolsports.suntimes.com/schools/benet/football/14578730-393/football-benet-looking-for-improvement-on-offense.html http://highschoolsports.suntimes.com/schools/benet/football/14578730-393/football-benet-looking-for-improvement-on-offense.html The Jordan Kos Show overshadowed what Benet had hoped would be a high-scoring senior night for the Redwings. Instead, Kos (18 carries for 149 yards) ran for three touchdowns in a 42-7 Carmel win in the East Suburban Catholic showdown. Corsairs quarterback Brian Brennan scored the other two Carmel touchdowns, with both coming on the ground. Benet (1-8, 0-8 ESCC) trailed 42-0 … ]]> Sat, 22 Oct 2011 00:12:00 CST http://highschoolsports.suntimes.com/schools/benet/football/8352060-393/benet-bows-out-with-loss-to-carmel.html http://highschoolsports.suntimes.com/schools/benet/football/8352060-393/benet-bows-out-with-loss-to-carmel.html Elgin (1-7, 0-6 Upstate Eight River) at Metea Valley (3-5, 1-5 Upstate Eight Valley), 7:30 p.m. Last week: Elgin lost to St. Charles East 10-0; Metea Valley lost to Lake Park 35-21 Storyline: Eliminated from postseason contention with last week’s loss to Lake Park, which saw senior quarterback Jarrett House return to the lineup, Metea Valley concludes its 2011 campaign tonight against … ]]> Wed, 19 Oct 2011 18:45:28 CST http://highschoolsports.suntimes.com/schools/benet/football/8310738-401/naperville-sun-week-9-football-preview-capsules.html http://highschoolsports.suntimes.com/schools/benet/football/8310738-401/naperville-sun-week-9-football-preview-capsules.html Benet (1-6, 0-6 East Suburban Catholic) at St. Viator (1-6, 0-6 East Suburban Catholic), 7:30 p.m. Last week: Benet won at Washington High School (South Bend, Ind.) 6-0; St. Viator lost at Carmel 51-32 Storyline: Fresh off getting its first win of the season last week by shutting out Washington High School of South Bend, Ind. 6-0, Benet returns to East Suburban … ]]> Thu, 13 Oct 2011 17:58:04 CST http://highschoolsports.suntimes.com/schools/benet/football/8200199-393/naperville-sun-week-8-football-preview-capsules.html http://highschoolsports.suntimes.com/schools/benet/football/8200199-393/naperville-sun-week-8-football-preview-capsules.html … ]]> Sat, 08 Oct 2011 16:14:00 CST http://highschoolsports.suntimes.com/schools/benet/football/8107509-393/story.html http://highschoolsports.suntimes.com/schools/benet/football/8107509-393/story.html Naperville North (4-2, 3-1 DuPage Valley) at West Aurora (2-4, 0-4 DuPage Valley), 7:30 p.m. Last week: Naperville North won at Glenbard East 51-13; West Aurora lost at Wheaton North 38-7   Storyline: Facing an opponent coming off a lopsided loss at DuPage Valley Conference-leading Wheaton North for the second straight week, Naperville North finds itself in a four-way tie for second … ]]> Thu, 06 Oct 2011 18:16:49 CST http://highschoolsports.suntimes.com/schools/benet/football/8074812-393/naperville-sun-week-7-football-preview-capsules.html http://highschoolsports.suntimes.com/schools/benet/football/8074812-393/naperville-sun-week-7-football-preview-capsules.html Each week Benet seems to relive the nightmare that has haunted the Redwings since the opening week of the season. Despite having a solid defense, the Redwings’ offense was shut out for their second consecutive game in a 14-0 loss to Notre Dame on Friday in Niles.

Thrown into the fire in Waubonsie Valley’s 27-20 loss at Bartlett in Week 3 after senior starter Mitch Stefani broke his collarbone, Warriors’ junior quarterback Dylan Warden almost led the team all the way back.
