Morris at Plainfield S.

The rundown: This doesn't happen often, but Morris has its back squarely against the wall as it attempts to keep its playoff hopes alive. The Redskins have missed the playoffs only twice in the last 25 years, but after last week's 7-0 loss to Plainfield Central, they must run the table to qualify. After meeting Plainfield South in tonight's Southwest Prairie matchup, they will finish with games against Oswego East and Plainfield North. South, meanwhile, needs to get back into the win column. The Cougars dropped from the ranks of the unbeaten with a 28-21 loss to Plainfield Central two weeks ago, then fell to Oswego 36-7 last week. The problem for Morris, which beat South 28-14 in 2007, has been offense. The Redskins are averaging 6.5 points per game, last in the area, and their 189.7 total yards per game rank next to last. Morris has been shut out three times and has scored more than a touchdown only once -- in a 24-6 win over Romeoville in Week 5. South has been more than respectable defensively, allowing 183.5 yards per game. When the Cougars have the ball, they rely on senior back Chris Brown, who has rushed for 813 yards and a 4.6 average. Junior quarterback Jeff Kohl has hit 54-of-94 passes, 57.4 percent, for 743 yards.
