Illinois man found safe after falling from Lafayette bridge

WEST LAFAYETTE, IN — An Illinois man in town for Purdue University's homecoming game fell from the Harrison Bridge about 6:45 p.m. Saturday, starting a multiagency search for him in the Wabash River, according to West Lafayette police.

Unbeaten Illinois high school football team loses playoff game on inadvertent whistle

An improbable touchdown appeared to keep one of Illinois' top high school program’s postseason hopes alive on Friday night. Then an unusual call changed everything. Trailing by four in the closing seconds of the game on Nov. 6, Antioch's (IL) Chance Verden came up with an improbable reception off of a bobbled catch that appeared to give the Sequoits the win and one of the best plays of the season. However, as Antioch celebrated, the referees gathered and the touchdown was overturned as the refs ruled that there was inadvertent whistle, which blew the play dead before Verden came up with the catch and later found the end zone. Despite pleas from the Sequoits’ side, the referees came to the agreement that the whistle was blown, signaling the play was dead before it actually was. Antioch was given the ball at the spot of the catch instead of the touchdown and one untimed down to convert. That one opportunity did not go the Sequoits’ way. UNREAL: 5A #1 Antioch has a miracle Hail Mary win taken away by an inadvertent whistle. Down 32-28 with only time for one play, Chance Verden catches a live bobble for what everyone believed to
