WEEK #8 GAME REPORTS
Junior Varsity | Coach McGrath
JV wins at home!
Junior Varsity= 16 vs Schaumburg= 0
Bill JV won 16-8, beating a then undefeated 7-0 Schaumburg team. It was a hard fought game, with both teams making several big plays. In the end, BG came out on top. Great effort by Isiah Flores on the day, with multiple long runs, including both TD’s on the day. Isiah also played incredible on D, chasing receivers down from behind. David Paulauskas was 2 for 2 on kicks. The defense played lights out, limiting the Schaumburg offense to one score, when they had been averaging over 27 points a game. The two book ends, Carson Olomon and David Paulauskas played lights out, coming up with multiple big stops. Donovan Robinson, Aaron Barker, and Themba Sitshela played great pass defense against the best passing attack we have seen. Lynch, McGrath, and Gleyzer with big stops, including a goal line stop. Aghakhan, Sofiyev, and Gueorguiev great effort on the d line. Offensive line did their job all day, Jones, Martin, and Vandyke, nice work in the trenches. Great efforts in practice by the entire team which helped us win that game!
Middleweight | Coach Sibo
MW Big 10 win at home!
Middleweight Big10= 28 vs Pairie Ridge= 8
Week 8 and it was Homecoming at Emmerich Field. The Big Ten Middle team came out fast and furious and knocked off a previously unbeaten Prairie Ridge team 28-8. O Line we keep telling you how important you are, and it showed on Sunday. The boys up front controlled the line of scrimmage all day as the running backs pounded the rock all day up the middle. Suren, Coffee, Harris, Nitti, Branas, Nelson and Crew what you do each week makes the difference in the team’s success. The job you do may not be glamorous, but it is so important. Not to be outdone Coach Rhemrev’s D continues to get it done each week. What a great team effort. Inch by inch boys, fight for each one. Next week is the last regular season game against a tough Huntley team but the Bills will be ready. Game highlights are:
• Best thing seen all day, Coach Brady Fawcett running out from the tunnel. We all should take that much joy in things.
• Staub and Benthusen getting it done running the ball up the middle, dragging defenders fighting for extra yards
• Jack Palzet stepping up where ever he is asked, giving it everything he’s got.
• Guzman making tackles shutting down the run game
• Crawley hits Baker for the 70-yard score
• B99 Nelson all over the field making tackles, forcing fumbles, recovering fumbles and recovering one fumble for the TD. We should fly him in for games each week
• Staub with the 45-yard TD run
• Luke Benthusen dragging defenders on his way to the 20-yard TD
• Crawley to Suren for the big 28-yard pass
• Branas hits 2 extra points
• Always remember boys who you play for
Middleweight | Coach Guccione
PW PAC lost at home.
Middleweight Pac10= 14 vs Oak Park=26
Middleweight Pac10 team lost its steam this week. With loosing to Oak Park, the record slipped to 4 and 4. Middleweight Pac10 will need to push hard in the final game for a strong showing for the final regular season game.
The Bills started with the ball and easily made it down to the 22-yard line after a long run by Langerman. After a few more plays Langerman twisted and turned into the end zone for 6. The kick for 2 didn't make it to the block, so the score remained 6-0 Bills. The Bills offense failed to convert the on-side kick so Oak Park took the ball with good field position. After running the ball for short yardage, Oak Park slowly made their way down the field and capped it off with a long pass for a TD with a 1-point conversion, score 7-6 Oak Park.
The Bills offense was back at it, however the Oak Park defense was very disciplined and remained home for coverage. Sohi caught a nice pass and turned it up the field to a large gain shortly followed by Dumiak powering through a few defenders and dragging them for a few more yards. The Bills drove it into the end-zone for 6 and successfully kicked the ball for 2 points, 14-7 Bills. Oak Park took over and defense gave them a fight, however a few plays later, Oak Park scored for 6 with a 1-point conversion, tied at 14-14.
Oak Park started the second half with a fumble and the Buffalo Grove Bills took over again on offense. After a few carries, the ball was thrown long to Palzet for a nice gain. Offense turned over the ball to Oak Park after failing to convert a first down. Defense pushed back Oak Park with a QB fumble. However, Oak Park kept slipping by for 8-12 yards a carry. After Oak Park fumbled the ball again, the Bills offense began to grind again. Oak Park seemed to stuff the offense again for no gain. Oak Park took over again and slipped by for 6 points shortly after. Unable to make an extra point, the score was 20-14 Oak Park.
From this point on, the Buffalo Grove Bills energy seemed to drop off and Oak Park ended up shutting down the run through stripping the ball away. Oak Park marched down the field and scored once more. The final score 26-14.
Featherweight | Coach Hooge
Feathers win at home!
Featherweight= 28 vsPrairie Ridge: 6
What a homecoming! Thank you for all the families and fans that came out to support this team to a great one sided victory. The game started with complete domination for the offense. Ravenscraft took the helm leading the team as the QB right from the first snap. Running the offense without missing a beat. The O-Line showed dominance right away making sure the running backs were not touched for several yards.
What a great game for the defense also they were not to be overshadowed forcing a turnover on Prairie Ridge's first play. What a great way to show who this team is. They made tackles all game only letting up one score on a broken play. Beside that play the DF only let up one first down the rest of the game. Many players made great plays this week Sammy making a really good form tackle preventing the runner to get a first down.
We were able to run our courtesy offense with Crew, Sigal, and Hansen getting carries to keep our offense running like a well oiled machine.
What a great game! The boys had a good day of work and got paid! We have 4 more games that are win or go home. It starts this Saturday with out road trip to Hampshine to take on a team that is fighting to get in the playoffs also. Let's go boys WE HAVE WORK TO DO!
Once Again I want to thank all of the parents and families that came out to our Homecoming it was incredible! My heart was filled with pride and joy. I enjoyed watching this Bills nation come together to celebrate another great season.
Bantam | Coach Duff
Bantam win at home!
Bantam= 21 vs Woodstock=0
The Bantam team marches on to a road victory!
The offense got off to a slow start, not being able to score until nearly halftime, but our defense was stifling once again, and kept us tied at 0 until the Bills’ Offense could find their footing.
Phil Pelts with Peltscake sacks and more than half a dozen tackles - mostly for loss, Jackson Boundy was in the Mundelein backfield all day. Estaban Plata sealed his side, when they tried to run outside. Jake Blair and Bowie Richmond filling holes like spackle! Duncan Suren with key tackles in the middle. Erik Cervantes with a great tackle for loss! All told, the defense didn’t give up a single first down all game!
The first half looked kind of rough for our offense. Munde’s DT kept disrupting our backfield, and the running backs just couldn’t win at the edge. After a mid-2nd-quarter pep talk, the offensive line finally started blocking, and the Bills started marching the ball down the field. Jake Blair had some really hard runs up the gut. Jax Baker had a great, hard run, and scored late in the second quarter, taking a 6-0 lead into the half.
After halftime, with a few adjustments to the o-line, everything started clicking, and Duncan Suren made an incredible 40-yard redemption run for a touchdown. Baker added another, for good measure. The character of these boys was tested today, and they came out on top!
Next week: Homecoming against Woodstock!
