Friday Focus - ELEVATE students influence Thomas student body
Earlier this week, several ELEVATE students led seminars and instructed Thomas middle school students in the BG’s Human Performance Project. Topics included best physical training and recovery practices, effects of drugs and alcohol on the brain, and the commitment to team and to teammates. This was a great learning experience for both parties, and I couldn't be more proud of our student leaders! #OneBG

It had been 14 years since Buffalo Grove last made the playoffs and 15 years since they won a playoff game. This year’s team ended both of those droughts with an emphatic 17-7 victory in the first round of the Class 7A playoffs over visiting Belleville West in front of a packed house at Grant Blaney stadium.

Stampede, Patriots Look To Regain Winning Form
Journal-Topics, October 13, 2017
There were certainly plenty of wins to go around last season between Buffalo Grove/Hersey/Wheeling (BG/H/W) and Stevenson. They just did not come at the right time: when it counted in March.
