Hoffman Estates football

Visiting Palatine was able to win its Mid-Suburban West opener on Friday night in Hoffman Estates, and showed some depth after losing Tulane recruit running back Dominik Ball for most of the second half.

Nate Cleveland threw four touchdown passes and ran for a fifth in Hoffman Estates' 47-17 win over Niles West.

Hoffman Estates evened its record on the season at 1-1 with a 42-6 triumph at Haskell Memorial Stadium, bouncing back from a one-point overtime loss.
