• Prairie Ridge not ready to flush season: McHenry County Week 6 notebook (shawlocal.com) — Prairie Ridge's struggling football team is preparing to host undefeated Huntley, whose explosive offense is averaging just over 51 points per game and recently routed Jacobs 47-6. With Huntley already celebrating a dominant homecoming win in town, Friday's matchup could either deepen Prairie Ridge's winless season or become a statement game against one of McHenry County's hottest teams.
   

• A Veritable Roll Call of Aviation Rarity (generalaviationnews.com) — A vintage-aircraft fly-in in Brodhead, Wisconsin, drew more than 200 classic planes, including a 1948 Piper Vagabond based at Landings Condominium in Huntley.
