The Skinny

Lincoln-Way West (4-1, 3-0 in the SWSC) avenged a 17-0 loss to Andrew (2-3, 1-2) a season ago. Javier Montalvo totaled 355 yards of offense and five touchdowns for the Warriors.

The Star

Montalvo was a human wrecking ball, bouncing off would-be tacklers to total 261 rushing and 94 receiving yards. His touchdowns covered 4, 6, 52, 83 and 72 yards.

The Numbers

Lincoln-Way West scored on its first three possessions, the first coming via an Andrew fumble inside the Lincoln-Way West 10. The Warriors have allowed 20 points in their last four games.
