Hersey rolled to a 42-7 victory Friday night in Mid-Suburban East action against Rolling Meadows. The win gives Hersey a 7-0 mark and 3-0 in the conference with games against Wheeling and Elk Grove pending.

Senior multipurpose back Michael Cervantes had an absolutely huge game for the Bison with 5 touchdowns as Buffalo Grove held a commanding 35-point halftime lead before cruising to a 48-14 MSL East win.

It’s been a long climb back, but Elk Grove is officially headed back to the state playoffs. The Grenadiers, who haven’t qualified for the state playoffs since 2013, earned their way back Friday with a resounding 41-21 win over host Rolling Meadows.
