PALATINE – Triad came into Friday’s second Class AA semifinal at Fremd with gaudy stats.

The Knights: boasted a 105-3 scoring margin; won 22 straight after tying Granite City in the season opener; hadn’t allowed a goal in the past 13 games; and made its third trip to state in the past five years in search of its second title in that stretch.
