Willowbrook avenged both of its regular-season losses on March 13; the team’s only two losses came against York and Lyons Township. The Warriors won their last nine games to finish the shortened season with a record of 13-2. The West Suburban Conference’s 14 teams played exclusively against each other during the abbreviated season. Restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic delayed the start of the season for more than two months. The Warriors defeated Downers Grove South 59-33 on Friday to post a perfect 6-0 record against their rivals in the conference’s Gold Division.
