KCChronicle.com/preps Game of the Week: ST. CHARLES NORTH (3-3, 3-1 UPSTATE EIGHT CONFERENCE RIVER DIVISION) AT BATAVIA (6-0, 3-0 UEC RIVER), 7:30 p.m. today

What the crowd will be buzzing about:Batavia’s bid for a second straight unbeaten season and UEC River title faces a threat in St. Charles North, which has rallied from an 0-3 start to return to .500 for the first time since Week 8 of 2010.

The Bulldogs have handled more run-first offenses than not in recent weeks, and Fischbach’s steady emergence after starting the season as a backup to Erik Miller could be dangerous as several key components on Batavia’s defense jell.
