Dear Students, Families, Alumni, and Community Members,

We are writing today to provide an important update regarding our varsity football program and the remainder of the 2026 season.

Over the course of the season, our football team has faced an unusually high number of injuries while also relying heavily on a very young roster. After careful consideration and consultation with school administration, coaching staff, and medical personnel, we have determined that we do not currently have enough healthy student-athletes available to safely field a varsity team this week.

As a result, we will be forfeiting our Friday game against   Bismarck-Henning/Rossville-Alvin.

To ensure that our senior student-athletes have the opportunity to be recognized and celebrated, we will designate the September 18 game as our Senior Night. We still have concerns about player safety and health, but we look forward to honoring the dedication, commitment, and contributions of our seniors alongside their families, teammates, coaches, and supporters.

Following the Momence game, we will forfeit the remaining contests on our varsity football schedule for the 2026 season. This difficult decision reflects our responsibility to protect our students and to avoid placing them in situations that could compromise their health and safety. It also allows us to be fair and equitable to all groups involved in our game-day experience, including our cheerleaders, marching band members, families, opponents, and community supporters.

We understand that this news will be disappointing to many. Our student-athletes, coaches, and supporters have invested tremendous time, effort, and passion into this season. However, we firmly believe this course of action is in the best interest of our students and our school community.

As we look ahead to Homecoming Week on October 9, we are actively exploring opportunities to provide a community event that evening. More information will be shared with the community once plans have been finalized. 

We appreciate the understanding, support, and encouragement our community continues to show our students. The resilience, character, and determination demonstrated by these young people throughout this challenging season have been remarkable, and we remain committed to providing them with a positive and safe athletic experience.

Thank you for your continued support of our students and our school.

On August 11, 2026, Christopher Mattison (DOB: 8/11/1984), formerly of Hoopeston, IL, 
pleaded guilty to Possession with Intent to Deliver Controlled Substance, a class 1 felony, and 
was sentenced to 6 years in the Illinois Department of Corrections. Following his term of 
imprisonment, Mattison will serve one year of mandatory supervised release. The plea and 
sentencing were presided over by Judge Mark S. Goodwin. 
The People presented evidence that on January 3, 2026, an officer with the Hoopeston Police 
Department conducted a traffic stop for a violation of the Illinois Vehicle Code. The driver, 
identified as Christopher Mattison, told the officer that he did not have identification with him 
but provided a debit card bearing his full name. Hoopeston dispatch confirmed that Mattison’s 
driver’s license was revoked. Mattison was subsequently arrested and searched. During the 
search, officers recovered a clear plastic baggie from his front pants pocket containing a white, 
powdery substance that field-tested positive for cocaine. Officers also searched a bag Mattison 
was carrying across his chest. Inside the bag, they recovered a grocery bag containing $3,728 in 
United States currency and an unmarked pill bottle containing white capsules that field-tested 
positive for cocaine. Before the vehicle was towed, officers conducted a search of the vehicle. 
From the area of the driver’s seat, they recovered a small, clear plastic baggie containing a white, 
chunky, powdery substance that field-tested positive for cocaine. Officers also recovered an open 
bottle of Hennessy alcohol from a bag behind the driver’s seat and a small digital scale from 
inside a duffle bag. The suspected cocaine was submitted to the Illinois State Police Crime Lab 
for testing and subsequently returned positive results for cocaine.
State’s Attorney Jacqueline Lacy thanked the Hoopeston Police Department for apprehending 
this defendant and removing illegal drugs from the community. She stated, “Illegal drugs pose a 
serious threat to the citizens of Vermilion County. Our office will continue to work closely with 
law enforcement to hold individuals who distribute illegal drugs accountable and to protect the 
safety of our community.”

 Since 2021, the City of Danville has been working with the Illinois 
Department of Transportation (IDOT) and commercial businesses to identify solutions that 
improve safety and reduce the risk of high-severity crashes at the commercial entrance, south of 
the Meijer gas station, along the east side of Illinois Route 1. 
As part of the evaluation process, traffic safety information, logistical impacts, and long-term 
infrastructure asset management costs were reviewed and considered. The recommended 
solution for the location is to restrict this commercial entrance to a right-in, right-out only access. 
The planned improvement will modify traffic movements by restricting certain turning 
movements and improving access management along Illinois Route 1. The raised median 
alternative provides a long-term, cost-effective approach with minimal logistical concerns to 
improve safety by reducing the potential for future high-severity crashes that have been 
historically prevalent at this location. 
IDOT is tentatively planning to begin constructing the proposed improvements starting on 
Monday, August 31, 2026 and expect construction to be competed within 2 to 3 weeks.
"The safety of our residents and visitors remains a top priority," said Rickey Williams, Jr., 
Mayor of Danville. "Although this resolution has taken longer than anticipated, we are anxious 
for the project to start and to limit traffic incidents in this area”

Governor Pritzker today issued a state disaster proclamation following weeks of severe and record-breaking weather across Illinois resulting in widespread damage from torrential downpours, flash flooding, straight-line winds and several tornadoes – leading the nation with approximately 204 tornadoes verified by the National Weather Service (NWS) already this year.

The Governor’s state proclamation will make additional state resources and personnel available to support continued local response efforts and recovery operations. This comes days after the Governor visited Lansing, where damage assessments have been underway by local, county and state emergency management officials to determine what additional resources are needed to assist communities with long-term recovery.

The proclamation covers communities impacted by severe weather across the following counties:

• Alexander (July 9-11)
• Champaign (Aug. 9-11, Aug. 13-16)
• Cook (July 27, Aug. 9-11)
• DuPage (July 27, Aug. 9-11)
• Ford (Aug. 13-16)
• Fulton (Aug. 13-16)
• Kane (July 2-4)
• LaSalle (Aug. 9-11)
• Lake (July 27)
• McLean (Aug. 13-16)
• Marshall (May 16, June 10-11, June 19-June 29)
• Pulaski (July 9-11)
• Tazewell (Aug. 13-16)
• Vermilion (July 27, Aug. 13-16)
• Will (July 27, Aug. 9-11)

Since the storms, the Illinois Emergency Management Agency and Office of Homeland Security (IEMA-OHS) and other Illinois agencies have been on the ground supporting local and county officials with damage assessments, debris cleanup, power restoration and mutual aid assistance. The proclamation directs state agencies to assist local governments as communities continue recovering from the devastating tornadoes and severe storms that have exhausted local resources and caused widespread damage across Illinois. The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT), Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity (DCEO) will assist local governments with continued response and recovery efforts as appropriate, and all other State agencies are directed to collaborate with IEMA-OHS to identify and enable additional response and recovery capabilities if needed.

“The State of Illinois quickly mobilized resources for residents impacted by this latest round of severe weather, and today’s disaster proclamation will further unlock and accelerate additional state resources for continued assistance,” said Governor JB Pritzker. " I know these storms have impacted countless Illinois families and requires we band together to help them recover. As this relentless and unprecedented weather continues to wreak havoc across our region, I remain committed to ensuring those impacted get the resources and help they need.”

In coordination with state and local partners, IEMA-OHS is continuing to deploy resources and implement the State Emergency Operations Plan to support response and recovery efforts in the affected counties.

“Illinois has faced a history-making series of severe weather events this year, and IEMA-OHS has been on the ground since day one to support counties and municipalities with response efforts and damage assessments," said IEMA-OHS Director Theodore Berger. "This proclamation leverages additional support to the communities who need it most following recent severe weather events. We will continue working alongside our impacted communities every step of the way.”

The disaster proclamation makes additional state resources and personnel available to support response and recovery operations and can facilitate requests for state and federal disaster assistance. Governor Pritzker has also directed IEMA-OHS to continue coordinating with federal partners to evaluate available assistance and identify additional resources to help impacted communities recover and rebuild.

The disaster proclamation goes into effect immediately and can be viewed here: disaster-proclamation-july-and-august-2026-storms.pdf

Additional Resources Unlocked

• Funding for Impacted Communities: The proclamation unlocks the potential for small, rural communities to apply for funding through the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Disaster Response program through the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity (DCEO). Disaster Response is a HUD funded program and units of local government are eligible for up to $250,000 to assist with unexpected costs after a Governor-declared disaster. This includes reimbursement for cleanup, debris removal and repairs to public infrastructure. Communities would have six months to apply for this funding after a disaster declaration is made.
• Personnel and Equipment: The proclamation can facilitate deployment of state personnel and equipment if needed or requested by locals.
• Procurement: The proclamation relieves traditional procurement constraints to expedite the securing of resources, such as commodities or specialized equipment, which may be needed to timely effect response.
