Buffalo Grove High School students return to middle school as volunteers
Chicago Tribune, April 6, 2018
Buffalo Grove High School student Bridget Helmstetter, 16, shared some sage advice Friday with middle schoolers during a return trip to her alma mater. “When you get to high school, don’t spend your time complaining about the work, but just get out there because it goes so fast,” said Bridget, one of 170 students from BGHS who spent the morning volunteering at Thomas Middle School in Arlington Heights as part of the high school’s “Make a Difference Day.” Read Story
What Arlington Heights' Doug Ghim did at the Masters was very special
The Daily Herald, April 9, 2018
Maybe a tie for 50th place doesn't sound great -- even if it came in golf's hallowed Masters tournament. Maybe a 74-74 finish in the weekend rounds and an 8-over 296 for the 72 holes wasn't worthy of much wild cheering at Augusta National. Make no mistake, though. What Doug Ghim did over four days in the first major golf championship of the year was something special. Very special. Read Story
Doug Ghim Enjoys Breakout Performance At Masters
Journal-Topics, April 9, 2018
You always had a feeling Doug Ghim was a special player, but he proved it to the world this past weekend during the prestigious Masters Tournament at Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, GA. Ghim, a senior at University of Texas, is from Arlington Heights and graduated from Buffalo Grove High School. He turns 22 next week (April 16) and was the youngest golfer to compete Saturday and Sunday at the Masters. Read Story
Arlington Heights golfer Ghim survives Masters cut
The Daily Herald, April 6, 2018
After struggling over his first nine holes Friday at Augusta National, Doug Ghim of Arlington Heights rebounded in his second round at the Masters and is set to make some history and the cut. Ghim, a college senior from the University of Texas, carded a 76 on Friday to become the first amateur golfer from Illinois to make the 36-hole cut at the Masters. The Buffalo Grove High School grad, thanks to Thursday's opening round of 72, sits at 4-over for the tournament, with the projected cut expected at 7-over. Read Story
Softball: Buffalo Grove's Maineville thrives in Dome debut
The Daily Herald, April 7, 2018
While most softball teams took Saturday off due to the frigid weather, St. Viator and Buffalo Grove went indoors to play their non-conference game. And Bison freshman pitcher Kylie Mainville, seeing her first varsity action, made herself right at home in the Rosemont Dome. Read Story
Boys water polo: Buffalo Grove extends MSL East lead
The Daily Herald, April 9, 2018
The Daily Herald, April 9, 2018
