The Daily Herald, November 4, 2017
EAST ST. LOUIS -- On the sidelines for most of the season with a high ankle sprain, East St. Louis sophomore DeMonta Witherspoon continued to make up for lost time Saturday at Clyde Jordan Stadium. Witherspoon rushed for 219 yards and 3 touchdowns as East St. Louis defeated Buffalo Grove 40-18 in a Class 7A second round playoff game. Seeded 10th, the Bison (9-2) stunned the Flyers just 19 seconds into the game when quarterback Connor Adams connected with Matthew Prawica on a 55-yard touchdown pass to take a 7-0 lead. Read Story

Journal-Topics, November 8, 2017
Buffalo Grove went a combined 4-14 over the two previous seasons entering this fall, so fans on the outside might not have expected much. But the Bison sure did.
Buffalo Grove used a strong defense and their best offense since 2002 to finish 9-2 and a second place showing in MSL East (4-1). Their only losses this year were to Hersey (9-2 record) and East St. Louis (10-1), the latter of which is defending state champions in Class 7A. Read Story
