Pederson did more than just steal money from the charity that helps families of children going through medical problems, said a member of the group's board of directors who spoke during Pederson's Nov. 10 plea hearing and sentencing. She also stole the trust the board, volunteers, staff and families put in her. Pederson pleaded guilty to money laundering and three counts of theft in a business setting. As part of a plea agreement, five counts of making fraudulent writings and two counts of misdemeanor theft were dismissed but considered during sentencing.

Wisconsin RB commit scores five touchdowns in Sectional Championship

Despite the up-and-down records under head coach Luke Fickell, the Wisconsin Badgers have been able to consistently recruit stellar classes via the high school ranks. So far through the 2026 cycle, the Badgers are ranked as having the nation’s No. 22 overall class. This is a class that has compiled seven four-stars and 17 three-stars.According to 247Sports, Wisconsin’s highest-ranked recruits are safety Mekhi Williams (91), running back Kingston Allen (91) and offensive tackle Cole Reiter (91). This past Friday, Allen proved his four-star rank in gold with a stellar 284-yard performance against Pulaski in the level three section championship. Another big night for @ndatritonfb 's Kingston Allen: 37 CARRIES, 248 YARDS, 5 TDS vs. Pulaski pic.twitter.com/RbW9HbV53G — Carson Fowler (@CarsonFowlerTV) November 7, 2026 Recruits’ rankings can sometimes be misleading, so a good gauge can be taking a look at the teams that offer a certain player. In Allen’s case, the running back was actively being pursued by both Ohio State and Alabama , a great sign of Allen’s talent. Of Wisconsin’s seven listed running backs, six of them are upperclassmen; combine that with the fragility of the transfer portal, and there is no saying what the Badgers’ room will look
