Willowbrook High School’s football team kicked off its 2022 season with a home game against Notre Dame College Prep School of Niles on Friday, Aug. 26. The halftime entertainment included performances from Willowbrook’s cheerleaders, dance team and marching band. At the end of their performance on the field, the band members marched toward the stadium track and played “Hey! Baby” in front of Willowbrook’s student section. Some enthusiastic students are pictured while the band played nearby. The Warriors’ fans didn’t have much to cheer about during the game. The visiting Dons from Notre Dame built a 14-0 halftime lead and went on to beat Willowbrook 28-0. The Warriors will play another home game on Friday, Sept. 2, when they will face Downers Grove North.
