As a four-year varsity quarterback, Hinsdale Central senior Riley Contreras has accomplished quite a bit with his feet and his arm on the football field, but in recent years his Red Devils have struggled against Naperville Central .
That all changed Friday night as Contreras had a big night both through the air and on the ground as the host Red Devils knocked off Naperville Central 28-14 to take a 2-0 record and plenty of momentum into next week’s showdown with Downers Grove North.
Contreras ran for three touchdowns and added 235 yards passing as Hinsdale Central jumped ahead 21-0 at the half and was not threatened much from there even as the Redhawks played a solid second half.
“Our run game was strong and I have to praise the O-line for the way they played tonight,” said Contreras
