Cummings was slated to be a major contributor this season (got time last year as a jr.) but blew out his knee in the summer and missed his sr. football season and most of bball too.

It's a late one, but I'll get ya some updates for
@TheRecordNS
Check this from the Brewers.
He is paralyzed from the waist down, but Cooper awoke today for the first time since Monday and his condition reportedly was upgraded
Breaking a long-established rule of celebrating anything Brewer to bump this. Awesome.
This jersey in the dugout is for Cooper Roberts, the 8-year-old boy who was wounded in the Highland Park shooting on July 4 and has been identified in reports as a “huge Brewers fan.” After hearing about his fandom, the club has been in contact with the family.
I can't think of another LB I've seen like Brody Roth.
The kid is undersized (tho skilled) *as a RB* and consistently had double-digit tackles as a LB. Used that RB vision and speed to weave in and out of blockers and snipe the ball-carrier sideline to sideline.
Much deserved
Recap from last night's rematch
fun notes:

It was certainly my pleasure to follow this group. High-level ball and respectful, honest players.
I've covered enough hoops to know when a team has it. It doesn't come around often. This team had it.
"I just told these guys the result of today is something that we didn’t want, but these guys are champions."

Recap from earlier this week made it official: It is my 20th season covering Illinois preps sports.
First night in Tolono (Go Rockets!), most recent in Winnetka. Plenty of stadiums, arenas and sandlots in between.
I still get a kick out of it.
It was already a special night as New Trier High School held the first official competitions in its new gym.
@NTgirlsvball
made it even better with a resounding win to kick off its season.
"Guests" ... of public employees, in a public building
We deserve public officials who believe in responsibility/accountability
This is cowardice. I want to say 'unbelievable' but this is the attitude of a majority of police depts (and other public orgs) I've dealt with in IL
Moments away from a press conference with Konesha County leaders and National Guard.
An officer comes out and says that press can’t ask questions.
