Naperville North rebounded from an opening loss to finish the regular season 7-2, win the DuPage Valley Conference title and earn a playoff bye. The Huskies’ defense powered key wins, while 11 players earned All-Conference honors. Their next test is Fremd, with North seeking its first playoff win since 2010.

By the Numbers
  • 7-2 regular-season record
  • 7 straight wins after an 0-1 start
  • 11 All-Conference selections and 6 honorable mentions
  • 6th straight postseason appearance
  • First playoff win since 2010 remains the goal
Yes, But

North has built momentum and claimed the conference title, but Fremd advanced to the state semifinals last year. The Huskies will need to turn their regular-season form into postseason success.

What's Next

Naperville North hosts Fremd on Friday, Oct. 30, at 7 p.m. The team says execution, physical play and emotional intensity will be key to its playoff opener.

Bottom Line

The Huskies have answered doubts with a conference championship and a seven-game winning streak; now they must deliver the playoff breakthrough that has eluded the program for more than a decade.
