Here is a compilation of scores and stories from Week Two in Kane County from the staff of Shaw Local and its correspondents.

14-13 Lincoln-Way East over Batavia

Ryan Boe and the Bulldogs nearly pulled off the stunning victory, but a two-point conversion attempt to win the game for Batavia was thwarted to cap off a week two classic.

St. Charles North blows past Crete-Monee 30-14

Crete-Monee took the initial 8-0 lead, but the North Stars answered with a Ethan Plumb touchdown to Jake Mettetal, but the two-point conversion failed, and Crete-Monee took that 8-6 lead into the half. Hunter Liszka hit a 42-yard field goal to give the North Stars the lead in the third quarter before the North Stars ripped off scores from Plumb to Jake Furtney, a Joell Holloman rushing touchdown and Plumb’s keeper for the win.

The Warriors (2-0) added two more touchdowns and an Ethan Head field goal during their 41-23 non-conference triumph over the host Saints (0-2) Friday night in St. Charles.”
