The bend but don’t break philosophy has served the Falcons well as the least-scored upon defense left in the Class 7A bracket. And it enabled them to grind out a tough 10-3 win Friday at Willowbrook in a Class 7A quarterfinal, sending Wheaton North into the semifinals for the first time since 2002. It’s the ninth time in 12 games that Wheaton North (11-1), which advances to face the Mount Carmel-Brother Rice winner, has allowed one score or fewer to an opponent. The Falcons moved on despite being out-gained 221-161.
