Abingdon-Avon coach Rick Quinn stopped by this morning ahead of the Tornadoes’ Class 1A first-round game at Fisher, 2 p.m. Saturday. From 3-6 last year to 8-2, and he talked about why he’s “a little old school” on the IHSA’s expanded playoffs. wgil.com/episode/rick-quinn-… #IHSA #AbingdonAvon

Knox College won six games in nine seasons in the 1960s. Harley Knosher on the players who stuck it out: “I’ll show you guys that have done things with their lives that are spectacular.” #KnoxCollege #D3Football #Galesburg

Got to talk with former Galesburg basketball star Al Williams today about his old rival Don Nelson — yes, that Don Nelson, who played for Rock Island before Iowa and the NBA. Al and the Streaks beat Nelson's squad 23-21 in the famous 1957 stall game, and Al beat him to a jump ball once and never let him forget it. Nelson died Sunday at 86. #DonNelson wgil.com/2026/08/10/al-willi…
