Just like in the 8A semi-final last year, they have trouble with a very quick, scrambling QB.
They were down 20-14 and had first and goal on Barrington's 2 yard line to start the 4th, were down to the 1 on 2nd down and then ran an end around that lost 5 yards and an incomplete pass and had to settle for a field goal, leaving them down 20-17 instead of up 21-20.
Barrington ate away 7 minutes of clock with Niro converting a number of third downs before Parsons made an incredible catch for the final TD. They had no answer on that drive and even though they mounted a late comeback, they didn't have enough time for the two scores needed.
Sucks because it seems they are much better than a 3-3 team...but hopefully they'll figure out how to win these close ones before Hoffman Estates week 9 and the playoffs.
