I heard that this was a tight tournament. I was impressed with Buffalo Grove's victory over Loyola and losing in overtime to Wheaton North. I know that Fremd is the team to beat in the MSL, but watch out for the Bison.

On some other thread, I posted that Buffalo Grove is among the most underrated programs in the state. They have been in the shadow of Fremd and Libertyville, and Stevenson for a long time.....move them to another sectional, and they go down state with a lot more regularity......the only people who don't respect a team like Buffalo Grove are the people who say "well, they haven't won a sectional recently, so they're safe!". BG is very tough, in a very tough sectional.
