The Illinois High School Football Coaches’ Association has selected Mercer County High School Senior Christopher Hedrick as a member of its All-State team for the 2011 season. Eighteen players in each class have been chosen by the selection committee. Christopher will receive a plaque at the state finals in Champaign on November 25, 2011. Congratulations, Christopher!

Once again this year, there will be a participation fee for school sports. Payment of fees will be expected before the sport begins. Students will be required to pay $35 for a single sport, $50 for multiple sports, with a family cap of $150. (This excludes academic activities such as Swing Choir, Jazz Band, Science Olympiad, FFA activities, Summer Engineering Camp, and Scholastic Bowl) Families having difficulty paying these fees need to contact Athletic Director Brian Dennison for assistance.
