Friday night lights — Victory was sweeter last Friday night as the Hinsdale Central Red Devils defeated the Glenbard West Hilltoppers 28-7. As tradition dictates, the team gathered on the sidelines to sing their alma mater. The last time Central defeated Glenbard was 2016. This season, there are only six games instead of the usual nine. The Devils are 5-0, with one game left at LT this Friday night, April 23. There are no state playoffs scheduled. Central leads the West Suburban Conference with its record of 4-0 in the conference.
