Johnsburg's Carter Block broke out in a big way a year ago. The quarterback led all Kishwaukee River Conference players in passing yards and spent the offseason getting bigger and smarter for his last season as the Skyhawks look to build on a 6-4 record.
Nice shoutout for the best Cubs podcast out there. @SamOlbur @matt_cozzi

McHenry's Brandon Shannon, the top pitcher in McHenry County this past season, thought he might be selected in MLB draft this week. But when teams couldn't match his asking price, he stuck to his original plan of attending the University of Louisville. shawlocal.com/northwest-hera…
