Amherst football embraces challenge vs Darlington: 'We're not surprised'

AMHERST – Amherst has spent the 2026 season knocking off all challengers in its unbeaten campaign and building toward this moment. But to keep its undefeated run alive, the Falcons will have to solve a Darlington team that hasn't lost in 26 games and brings one of the state's most explosive offenses into Friday's Level 3 playoff matchup. The mission is complicatedly simple. “We've got to somehow slow them down. That's the biggest thing,” Amherst coach Mark Lusic said. “They have a very explosive offense. I mean, I don't think they've been challenged all year. I don't know, probably for the last two years to be honest with you. "We're going to have to slow down their option. That's the biggest thing. If you don't slow that down, it's going to be a long night. That means they can do anything they want. It's about 50% of their offense. So, try to slow that down, and then go from there." Lusic knows the Level 4 matchup between the Falcons and the Redbirds will be decided up front at the line of scrimmage.

Stockton dominates its way to third straight state volleyball tourney

Stockton is at it again. Just like last year, and the year before that, the Stockton girls volleyball team has advanced to the IHSA state tournament, where it will take on Okawville in the Class 1A state semifinals at 10:30 a.m. on Friday in Normal. More Rockford-area volleyball: Stockton KOs Rockford Christian, one step closer to 3rd straight state Stockton (36-2) knocked off Schaumburg Christian (26-4) for the second year in a row in the super-sectionals, this time hammering home a 25-16, 25-15 victory on Monday, Nov. 9. Stockton beat them 25-11, 25-20 in the supers last year, and went on to finish second in the state in 1A for the second year in a row. This time, they got there by finding a way to hold off sophomore outside hitter Harper Bisterfeldt, who came into the match with 157 kills and 53 aces on the year. She finished Monday night's match with one kill and no aces. And the deep Stockton squad, with a rotation of front-line stars who can step in at any moment, had little problem finishing this one off. "We've been in those pressure situations over and over again," Stockton's Taylor Haas said. "We're definitely ready.
