    Next Friday will mark the start of the high school football season, and after 26 years, it will mark the end of my time at WSIL. I have chosen to head down a new path, and I’m absolutely stoked for the opportunity ahead! More on that in the days to come.

    So let me get this straight, we will now see teams potentially go all over the state for the football playoffs regardless of round, but we can't seed an entire basketball sectional?

    In both games I covered today, I saw senior sons and coaching dads (1 head coach, 1 asst coach) share long hugs after the sons walked off the floor for the last time. No matter what the last 5 1/2 weeks was like or what might've been missing...those moments are irreplaceable.
