Palatine’s Zach Oles ran like a lineman Friday in Barrington.
The 6-foot, 200-pound senior quarterback, who actually was an offensive lineman earlier in his football days, ran over and around people. He scored 5 touchdowns and passed for another as Palatine claimed the Mid-Suburban West football title for the third consecutive year with a 49-31 victory.
“It was very physical out there,” said Oles, who rushed for 83 yards and threw for another 217. “I just have to give credit to the offensive line. I am good friends with them. They have my back and I have theirs.”
