Stockton rolls in semis, gets another shot at volleyball state title

The Stockton volleyball team earned itself another shot at its first state title. "Just the thought of coming up short the last two years," Kaydra Wright said shortly after helping her team to its third straight state semifinal victory in 1A volleyball. "We want it bad." Led by Wright's touch (24 assists), and Ireland Mensendike (11 kills and 4 digs) and Taylor Haas' power (10 kills on just 14 attacks), Stockton steamrolled its way past Okawville in straight sets in Friday's Class 1A state semifinal showdown in Normal, 25-20, 25-22. Now it heads to the 1A state championship match for the third year in a row, where it will face off against Athens, which pulled off a tight 24-26, 25-18, 25-23 win over Illini Bluffs in the first 1A semifinal match.

Madrigals group travels to North Central

Madrigal director Weston Henry recently took the 2026 Sterling High School madrigal group on a trip to North Central College. The North Central College specially invited Henry to bring his classes, but he chose not to bring all of his choirs because they have been preparing for the fall concert for months now. Ultimately he chose to bring the madrigals because they were beginning to work on new music and would benefit the most from getting to work through music with a collegiate professor. Henry expressed how he wanted the Madrigals to see that “all choirs, collegiate and high school, are making the same progress.”
