The anticipated matchup between Waubonsie Valley and Neuqua Valley will take place Saturday, but it certainly wasn't a sure thing.

In the nightcap of a Class 3A Waubonsie Valley Regional doubleheader, the host Warriors held on to defeat Plainfield Central 2-1. That game was expected to be close, but Neuqua Valley was not supposed to escape with such a slight victory (1-0) over West Chicago, which was seeded 18th in the Downers Grove South Sectional. After all, nationally-ranked Neuqua is the top-ranked team in the state and in the Sun-Times area poll.http://www.suburbanchicagonews.com/beaconnews/sports/1837005,2_2_AU21_WVSOCC_S1-091021.article
