• Barrington follows Osterhues' lead, but Lyons Twp. scores the victory (dailyherald.com) — Barrington High School's Broncos opened their 2026 football season with a close 24-19 loss at Lyons Township, despite another standout performance from junior running back Lamar Osterhues. The Barrington offense leaned heavily on its veteran offensive line and ground game, with Osterhues scoring late to keep things tight as big-time college programs continue to track his progress.
