SoBos preparing for playoff opener at Polo

SOUTH BELOIT — The South Beloit football team figures they are as dangerous of a team as a 10-seed could be. Despite being a double- digit seed going against seventh- seeded Polo Saturday at noon, head coach Josh Redieske believes his SoBos are ready to make a run. “I think we are a pretty dangerous team,” Redieske said. “I know there are a lot of people that believe whoever wins our matchup with Polo is capable of making a deep run. They’ve got a lot of history on their side for sure. But I think we are faster and more athletic than they are. It’s going to be a fun matchup for sure.” Senior running back Chase Herrington has been the true headline-maker this season for the SoBos. Herrington has carried the ball 153 times for 1,489 yards and an eye-popping 21 touchdowns. He’s also got 12 catches for 308 yards and six touchdowns as he catches passes from his brother James. He’s been terrific defensively, too, with 61 tackles and a defensive touchdown as well. The SoBos feature a varied offensive attack, and while Chase Herrington plays a starring role, he’s got some help. Wide receiver Zane Hagstrom leads
