MAPLE PARK – Kaneland quarterback Drew David could tell something wasn’t right when his team stepped out onto the field before his team’s 25-24 win over Chicago Brooks Saturday.

The junior has already been around his fair share of winning during his short career, leading the Knights to a 12-1 record and a run to the Class 5A semifinals after taking over the job last season. The team that took the field Saturday just didn’t quite seem the same.

It wasn’t overconfidence that bothered David about his team, even though the Knights had beaten Brooks 44-0 last season. It was something different, and possibly more troublesome.
