I was lucky enough to have a close friendship with Vaughn McClure for over 15 years, from our vacations to Miami, LA, Toronto, Dallas, Orlando an countless Chicago bar nights. He was a special person, loved by many an so charismatic. Ill miss my old friend. RIP, my brother.

Carmel’s Josie Hartman won’t play in college. “I think it’s my last run.”
So she makes sure that continues.

@wischlist Everything goes in cycles..The Marlins have won two titles, Arizona made th series in 2023..Yes. LA has won 3 in 6 years, but money doesn't necessarily equal titles. The Cubs are worth $5B but dont spend the money yet we happily pay $20 a beer

Carmel’s Eli Jackson has fun on the football field. “You have to keep an eye on him.”
Normal Community didn’t.

Barrington defensive tackle Charlie Ploder doesn’t hit home runs anymore.
But he is getting home, as QBs know.

Congrats to former @EIU_Baseball pitcher Will Klein on his World Series debut last night with the LA Dodgers

Klein pitched one inning of shutout relief.

Playoffs or not, Loyola’s Tommy Fraumann is going places.
The 6-foot-8 tackle is a “sky-is-the-limit guy.”

Northwestern recruit Noah Sur is one of the nation’s top kickers.
For Fenwick, he can be a game-changer.

Not for the team.
