Friday Focus - Color Guard and Feature Baton Twirler return to BG!
After almost 4 decades without a Color Guard, the Bison Color Guard returned to Grant Blaney Stadium this past Friday night. They were amazing, and added such an incredible visual element to what we do. Additionally, freshman Janelle Vossel brings Buffalo Grove High School a featured baton twirler performance. A special thanks to new coach Emily Bettencourt.
Late 70’s into Early 80’s

Celebrating Our Success!
- A big CONGRATULATIONS to our Varsity and JV Football teams on their HUGE wins last Friday against Niles West, Varsity 40-7 and JV 48-0, to kick off the 2017 football season!
- Congratulations to Varsity Football player, Matt Majeski, on being selected to wear the #1 jersey this year.
“The #1 jersey in our program is used to recognize the young man on our team who truly embodies what it means to be a Bison football player and live his life at 212. This is a person who puts the team before his teammates and his teammates before himself. He has the values that we expect out of our athletes on and off the field and is always a positive representation of our program with the school and the community. It is more than just a flashy number. It is a way of life for the Bison.” Way to go Matt! 
- Congratulations to our Boys Cross Country team on their victory over Schaumburg on Tuesday! Special shout out to Mitchell Guittar, "new course" record holder at the Willow Stream course!
