• Soccer Recap: Oak Forest Falls in a Tight One to Blue Island Eisenhower (maxpreps.com) — Oak Forest's boys soccer team narrowly lost 2–1 to Blue Island Eisenhower despite entering with a much higher state ranking, dropping the Bengals to 6-2-1 overall. The defeat was their first in conference play, and they'll look to rebound quickly in a Sunday matchup against Elgin while Eisenhower prepares to face Tinley Park later in the week.
