Part of Kenwood Road in Champaign could be soon dedicated as “Daniyjah D. Staple Way” thanks to an effort led by Centennial sophomore Dajuan Lane.

“She just loved going out of her way to make a difference and make someone’s day,” Lane said of his late cousin. www.news-gazette.com/news/a-succe...
'A success story that was ended too soon'
Centennial sophomore Dajuan Lane has organized an effort to have a Champaign street named in his cousin's honor.

A capacity crowd at State Farm Center makes some noise for Luke Altmyer as he announces that he’ll return for another season with the #Illini.

Greetings from State Farm Center as the #Illini start a five-game homestand by facing Bradley for the first time since 2017.

I’m pinch-hitting for Joe Vozzelli tonight. Updates to come throughout the game with more on the way for IlliniHQ.com and inside tomorrow’s News-Gazette.
