Gold Division
Addison Trail Blazers
Coach: Chris Bazant
2024 Record: 7-3, 4-2
Schedule: Aug. 29 Streamwood; Sept. 5 at Johnsburg; Sept. 12 at Downers Grove South; Sept. 19 at Hinsdale South; Sept. 26 Morton; Oct. 3 at Leyden; Oct. 10 Proviso East; Oct. 17 at Oak Park-River Forest; Oct. 24 Willowbrook.
Worth noting: The Blazers’ program has enjoyed a resurgence the last two years with back-to-back playoff appearances and seven-win seasons. Good reason to believe that will continue with senior quarterback Nico Dill, last year’s Offensive Player of the Year in the West Suburban Gold, leading 10 returning starters. Running backs Gio Ortiz and JJ Ciezobka both bring explosiveness and consistency to the backfield. Others back offensively include senior offensive linemen Vinny Power and
