AGP Executive Report

Last update: 12 hours ago

NCAA Softball Super Regionals: The Women’s College World Series field is set up after Friday’s super regional action, with Mississippi State stunning Oklahoma 11-9 in Norman, Texas Tech knocking off Florida to stay one win from OKC, and Tennessee taking Georgia 2-1 to punch its ticket. Local Sports: Glenbard West’s 4x800 roared to the fastest Class 3A prelim time (9:10.01) as area athletes advanced at IHSA state track, while East Peoria grabbed a walk-off softball win over Metamora in Central Illinois regionals. Public Safety: Illinois is pushing Memorial Day boating rules—life jackets, sober operators, and extra enforcement under “Click It or Ticket.” Weather: Rain spreads across central/northern Indiana with cooler temps, then a warmer, stormier pattern ahead. Politics: Illinois lawmakers are in the final stretch before May 31 adjournment, with GOP leaders again arguing the state’s real problem is spending, not revenue. Illinois Courts: The Illinois Supreme Court again rejected a challenge to the FOID licensing system.
