Anthony Leo and Willowbrook did not have the most ideal start to their season.

They’re intent on a better finish.

Leo, Willowbrook’s senior running back/linebacker, was hurt in his team’s season-opening loss. The Warriors dropped three of their first four games.

Leo believes the turnaround started last Friday, and had a big part in it.

He rushed for 230 yards and a touchdown on 28 carries. Defensively, Leo had nine tackles, including six solos and four tackles for loss, with one sack. Willowbrook pulled away from a 14-14 halftime tie with Hinsdale South for a 45-14 win.

For his efforts, Leo was selected as the Friday Night Drive Team of the Week MVP with a total of 248 votes. Here is his Q&A with sports editor Joshua Welge.
