Both junior varsity teams opened with victories as well   .

Action will resume Friday (Dec. 10) at Boylan, then there will be a stern test for both teams Tuesday (Dec. 15) when Belvidere North comes to town. All games are at 4 p.m. with home contests being played at Forest Hills Lanes in Loves Park.
