Nice story from @derrickhmason on an upscale downtown restaurant that has quietly built a reputation for giving homeless people a second chance. https://t.co/h8Uekkeayk 📸by @scottpyates

Rockford will hold its first ever Olympic trials event in October when Canada and Team USA square off in table tennis at the BMO Harris Bank Center. Men’s and women’s winners will represent North America in Tokyo in 2020.

[Derrick Mason @derrickhmason]

If you liked that, just wait until I think of a clever response to your tweet some time in October.

[Kevin Haas @KevinMHaas]

Solid tweet for only having a few months to work on it.

[Derrick Mason @derrickhmason]

I've been trying to think of a good tweet for a few months. I'm going to give up on that endeavor and pop in to say that I'm now at the Rockford Register Star full time. That means I'm now even less capable of helping with The Journal-Standard billing issues. For that, I am sorry

EPC loses a heart breaker, 14-7. GCMS advances to state title game in 2A.

[Derrick Mason @derrickhmason]

EPC goes Kempel to Kempel on trick play. 7 yard TD pass ties the game at 7 with 11:13 left in game

[Derrick Mason @derrickhmason]

At the half, no score between Eastland/Pearl City and Gibson City.

[Derrick Mason @derrickhmason]

Le-Win picks up right where it left off. 64-6. Panthers are now three points away from tying IHSA Class 1A playoff record.

[Derrick Mason @derrickhmason]

In 2016, I watched Forreston break a 12-year-old playoff scoring record with 67 points. In 2017, I covered the game when Le-Win tied that record. Now, I’m at a game where Le-Win leads 56-6 at halftime. The NUIC is pretty darn good.

[Derrick Mason @derrickhmason]

Panthers made a lot of substitutions...didn’t make a difference. Freshman Luke Benson scores and Le-Win now leads 56-0 with 3:51 left in half

[Derrick Mason @derrickhmason]

Le-Win now up 50-0. Bruce 75 yards from Benson. Second time they’ve connected for TD. 8:27 to go until running clock starts.

[Derrick Mason @derrickhmason]

Lewistown currently with -7 yards on offense. Le-Win defense has also forced fumble, INT, safety.

[Derrick Mason @derrickhmason]

Benson connects with Bruce for 47-yard TD. Le-Win now leads 42-0. Still 11:11 to go in first half.

[Derrick Mason @derrickhmason]

Lena-Winslow gets two more points on a safety. 34-0 with 11:24 left in Q2.

[Derrick Mason @derrickhmason]

Let-Win’s Hudson intercepts a Lewistown pass and returns it to Lewiston’s 5. Ormiston runs 5 yards for another score. With another two point conversion, Le-Win now leads 32-0 with 1:29 left in first quarter.

[Derrick Mason @derrickhmason]

Ten seconds later, Le-Win scores again. Bruce recovers fumble on five yard line, Gyland punches it in. Panthers up 24-0. 1:42 left in the first quarter

[Derrick Mason @derrickhmason]

Le-Win now leads 16-0 after Gyland runs 59 yards for touchdown.

[Derrick Mason @derrickhmason]

Le-Win’s Ormiston sets up his own 5-yard TD run with a 43-yard scamper earlier in the drive. Panthers lead Lewiston 8-0.
