📰 News we're reading

• 'Just another game' for humble linebacker Palano, but what a game (dailyherald.com) — Batavia football fans have a local connection to celebrate: Southern Illinois University linebacker and Batavia native Ben Fiegel just earned Missouri Valley Conference defensive player of the week after a game-changing interception and 10 tackles. The story also spotlights Buffalo Grove grad Anthony Palano's national defensive honor and a standout collegiate cross-country debut, but Fiegel's performance puts Batavia on the Division I football map.
