Football: Red Devils Left Off Chicago Tribune, Sun-Times Rankings After Loss to OPRF

Hinsdale Central had been ranked No. 15 for the last three weeks.

After three straight weeks at No. 11 in Mike Clark's Chicago Sun-Times rankings and No. 15 in Mike Helfgot's Chicago Tribune rankings, Hinsdale Central (5-2) is not among either paper's top football teams after a tough 42-41 home loss to Oak Park River Forest Friday night.

Huskies running back Jakari Cammon finished the game with 206 yards on 17 carries. He scored his third touchdown in overtime touchdown and ran in an all-or-nothing two-point conversion to give OPRF the thrilling road win.
