Vlk, who is in his third year as head coach, had his 65 varsity players going through drills as the Bison look to improve on its 9-2 season from last year.

Jacqueline Bickhaus preps for 'season to remember' at Buffalo Grove
Chicago Tribune, July 14, 2018
Jacqueline Bickhaus dealt with pain on and off the court last season. Bickhaus broke a bone in her right wrist during her junior basketball season. On top of that, the Bison played through a painful season in which they rarely won. Bickhaus, a 5-foot-5 guard, showed tremendous grit by finishing out the basketball season and then playing on the Buffalo Grove softball team. “I really wanted to finish the season and play softball, too,” she said. “I just wanted to play basketball and softball so bad. But last year was pretty rough in all facets for me.” Read Story
