Naperville Central senior Emmanuel Rugamba
The Iowa-bound Rugamba showed why he’s headed to Iowa City next fall as a defensive back at the most opportune time for No. 5 Naperville Central against No. 15 Glenbard North. Rugamba’s interception of Panthers quarterback Brett Conway on a fourth-and-nine from the Naperville Central 40 sealed a 13-12 Redhawks’ victory with 1:35 left in regulation.
