The Daily Herald, October 26, 2018

"As a whole, I feel that it's not as overwhelming because you know what to expect. It's not a brand new experience," Vik said. What was brand new for BG however was taking an 81-mile bus trip west to the Rockford area to face a Rockton Hononegah team that entered postseason play averaging 42 points a game while totaling 493 yards per outing offensively as it went through the NIC-10 Conference undefeated for a second consecutive season.

The No. 30-seeded Bison scored a touchdown to pull within a point of No. 3-seeded Rockton Hononegah on Friday night in a Class 7A first-round game. They could have attempted an extra point to tie the game, but Vlk elected to go for two. The coach made his decision known to the offense before the final touchdown drive. Read Story
