Aidan Laughery, straight out of Gibson City-Melvin-Sibley, just played a huge role in Illinois’ thrilling 30-28 win over Tennessee in the Music City Bowl. His 77 rushing yards, including a clutch 28-yard burst, set up the game-winning field goal as time expired. It’s wild to see local talent making such a big impact on a national stage, especially with several Central Illinois players stepping up. This win marks back-to-back bowl victories for the Illini—a first in program history! How do you feel about hometown athletes putting our area on the map?
