Reader supports Deloche’s statements
Dear Editor,
Ms. Gibson, Starkey, and Brasel’s attack on Adrian Deloche’s opinion piece is filled with lies, innuendos, and half truths.
The fact remains that record numbers of illegal immigrants are entering the United States at an alarming rate. All occuring while a democrat party president sits in the oval office. He is not in charge of the country direction. Large corporations and multi-millionaire/billionaires do that.
Our hearts ache

Lady Knights are State runner up
The AC-Central seventh grade volleyball team’s postseason march took them all the way to the State Championship game. Only a junior high sports juggernaut, West Lincoln-Broadwell, prevented the Lady Knights from becoming state champs. A second-place finish in the state of Illinois in Class 1A is quite an accomplishment and the future is obviously bright for this group of young ladies.
Deloche stands by previous statements
Dear Editor,
I respectfully request to reply to the three members of the Cass County Board that implied that I am a liar and not to be taken serious for anything I say.
This is the typical response of left wing, counter culture, authoritarians. Unlike these three pillars of intellect, I do my research before I make a public statement
If what I presented in my last letter was false or inaccurate, the board members did not bother to point out a single word or sentence to that issue. By their own words, they did admit that they had a meeting considering bussing illegal immigrants. I did not state one way or the other as to their decision. I challenged for an answer of their intentions.
Tiger Wrestlers all get State win
All four Tiger wrestlers representing Beardstown in last weekend’s State Tournament action picked up at least one win. None of the grapplers was able to bring home a medal but all four had very good weekends and great seasons. Beardstown sent two individuals to the Illinois Wrestling Coaches and Officials Association Fresh/Soph State Tournament and two individuals to the Illinois Elementary School Association State Tournament. Brothers Maddox and Alcantar Medrano qualified for the Tigers at the Fresh/Soph level and Jude Dawson and Kellen Brown competed in the junior high event.

Numerous Tigers earn All-Conference
In their first year in the West Central Conference, the Beardstown Tigers were well represented on the winter sports’ All Conference Teams. A total of eleven Tigers received All Conference honors in girls’ basketball, boys’ basketball, and wrestling.
Earning a First Team selection in girls’ basketball was sophomore Camila Salazar. Her sister, senior Delma Salazar, was named Honorable Mention.
Girls Flag Football sanctioned by IHSA
Girls flag football is now an officially sanctioned sport by the Illinois High School Association. The IHSA named it an official sport last month, starting with the 2024-2025 season, including October 11th and 12th inaugural state championship dates. No host site has yet been announced but it will most likely be in the Chicago area since the majority of competing teams are from there according to the IHSA.
