A Note from our Concession Stand: You guys are amazing. We had another scorcher but seeing all of you and watching the kids play made the long day worth it. Thank you so much for coming out and getting food and drinks from our concession stand. Everything we make goes right back to the organization. We wouldn't be successful without the help of our amazing volunteers. Thank you to all who volunteered this weekend. I hope you had as much fun as I did. A special shout out to Rick Herrejon, Gerry Gastelum, Tania Gastelum, Faith Rutnarak and Aki Youkhanna for helping me grill so we all don't melt. Liza Nelson & Bills Alumni Floyd Glinsey were rock stars helping us by being our DJ's during the games. SHS student, Sasha Fedorov, is such a hard worker! Thank you for volunteering your time to work in the concession stand. THANK YOU Mikaere Family for donating a propane tank so we can keep the second grill running.
We are offering some new items this year: String cheese, apple sauce, Uncrustables, bananas, apples, protein bars, and grilled chicken. The donuts are from Dunkin Donuts, 245 McHenry Rd, Buffalo Grove by Jewel Osco. All the meat we grill is from Dorflers Meat Market, 1182 McHenry Rd, Buffalo Grove. Nino’s Pizza provides our pizza. O’Tools in Libertyville arranged for many items in the concession stand to be donated, for which we are very grateful.

Team is ready for a tough division match-up against a high powered Grayslake Colts team next week.
Lightweight | Hooge
Bills win at home!
Lightweight= 20 vs McHenry= 0
The Bills Lightweight Team finally got the chance to play on the home field his week. The boys came out ready to dominate. The defense put in another impressive performance holding the 3-0 McHenry Team scoreless throughout the game. The line got penetration all game while the backers and corners cleaned up anything that popped through. Not be outdone, the offense started fast scoring touchdowns on the first two possessions. Goldman darted around the end on the third offensive play for a long touchdown run. The first play of the second possession resulted in a 75 yard touchdown pass from fedex Federman to Schubert. Federman was had a big day throwing the ball over the top of the defense. The final touchdown came as Federman hit Frezza in stride on a corner route. Next week the team heads over the border to face another tough opponent in Kenosha.
Middleweight Gold | Sibo
Bills win at home!
Middleweight Gold= 25 vs Oak Park=6
On a beautiful day on the home field, Sibo’s pulled out a hard fought win against Oak Park 25-6. Jack Staub made Bills history and the running backs just keep scoring. Week 3 highlights were:
• Jack Staub had a Bills record 4 interceptions in the game. Got to get his name up on the big board!!
• Donovan Robinson on the counter goes 70 yards for the score out running the defense
• Jack McGrath scores twice. One rushing TD and 1 Fumble return for another TD
• Dro DeLeon sweep left for the score
• Jack McGrath punched in 2 TD’s of his own
• All this scoring wouldn’t be possible with the O Line. Keep it up boys!!
• Defense dominated all day long
Middleweight Black | Schumi
Bills lose at home.
Middleweight Black= 0 vs Kenosha= 27
Well, our home debut did not go as planned. This loss definitely does not define this team in anyway shape or form. The boys fought hard all game and didn't quit. Our offense played against a solid defense who did their jobs all game. The backs had to fight for every yard they could get out there, which is something they do well as a group. On the defensive side of the ball for us it was a tough one as well. As the game went on, the stronger they got. Kenosha got off to an early lead but really slowed down once our defense had made some adjustments. Overall, I am real proud of these boys! Next on our agenda is to bounce back and get ready to go for this next one.
Featherweight | Delevitt
Bills lose at home!
Featherweight= 13 vs Lake in the Hills= 32
Lake in the Hills came in with their high powered offense, and the Buffalo Grove Bills Featherweight Big Ten Team, struggled to keep them in check. Ilan Guzman had the highlight of the game, when he picked off a Lake in the Hills pass, and took it 70 yards the other way for the pick 6!! That was about the only mistake that the Lake in the Hills QB made all day. He was as good as advertised. Evan Polen and Dylan Graves battled hard to get into the Lake in the Hills backfield from the interior of the line. Blake Strauss brought pressure off the end. Brody Delevitt did a great job blocking the edge, and Brayden Roth did a great job blocking on the interior. Ryan Harris was Mr. do it all, running for tough yards on offens, and covering their best receiver. Dylan Fawcett capped of the BG scoring on the day, we he took a reverse 30 yards to the house. The BG Bills Featherweight Big Ten team, will look to get back on the winning track, up North in Kenosha this weekend.
Bantam | Duff
Bills win at home!
Bantam= 19 vs McHenry=0
Sweet victory!
The Bantams are finally hitting on all cylinders! Offensive line: Nana Mikaere, Jake Blair, Josh Koepke, Jackson Carrigan, and Duncan Suren, opened up holes all day, which running backs Matthew Ravenscraft, Dylan Nelson, and Eli Sigal exploited for huge gains! Tight Ends Anthony Alvarado and Bowie Richmond did a very nice job blocking, and opening up the sides for our sweeps! Dylan Nelson had 2 TDs (and nearly a 3rd) plus more hard runs than the entire team has had all season long!
The defense showed their stinginess wasn't a fluke last week, and with a full squad of players, they can stop great defenses all day long. Josh Koepke and Eli Sigal getting to the QB, Matthew Ravenscraft recovered a fumbled snap! Consistent harassment of the backfield by Jackson Carrigan and the linebackers frustrated McHenry, and netted the Bills a shutout!
All in all, a fantastic performance against a respectable McHenry squad, results in a convincing shutout win!
