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

It goes without saying there is no shortage of holiday events in Chicago , from bars adorned with floor-to-ceiling decorations to lights taking up an entire zoo—we mean there’s even a returning Little Nero’s-themed pizza pop-up inspired by Home Alone . But don’t let Chicago hold you hostage this holiday season; there are so many fun things happening outside the city limits . One of them is in historic downtown Long Grove, named one of the best Christmas towns in America (and only an hour from Chicago, might we add). Every year, the town transforms into something that feels like a Hallmark movie: storefronts are decorated with festive displays, carolers hit the streets, and carriage rides are the main form of transportation. Officially called Vintage Holidays, the annual event returns November 20 through December 24, 2026. Vintage Holidays begins with Light Up Long Grove The season opens Friday, November 20, with Light Up Long Grove from 5–8 p.m. Shops will stay open late, with decorated, tractor-pulled wagon rides, illuminated photo stations, and street activities running from 5–7:30 p.m. At 7:30 p.m., the village will light its bridge and Christmas tree, followed by a performance from the Fred Astaire Dancers.
