ALTON - Sophomore Kiyoko Proctor is starting right where she left off. After a successful 21-7 campaign as a freshman, a season that saw her play in all but one game, she's back at it again. Having led her team in scoring last season with 409 points (15.1 PPG average), she's already making a difference this year. Through the first two games of the 2022-23 season, she's scored 25 points, helping her team to back-to-back wins over Springfield Southeast (73-32) and Mater Dei (49-36). Her strong performance earned her All-Tournament honors and Tournament MVP. "I feel like I played really well as a point guard and I got my teammates the ball and also got my points up too," Proctor said after the win over Mater Dei Saturday night. She said that her team played well together and made a lot of good choices. "I feel like we played together, and we were really smart with the ball and patient.

WASHINGTON – U.S. Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D-IL), a member of the Senate Electrification Caucus, introduced the Responsive Energy Demand Unlocks Clean Energy (REDUCE) Act to eliminate states’ ability to “opt out” of aggregated demand response. The legislation would allow consumers nationwide to sell their energy reductions into the wholesale market. “Allowing consumers to sell their energy reductions into the wholesale market is an important step toward decarbonizing our energy sector. On top of that, it puts money back in the pockets of Americans who are doing their part to reduce their energy usage,” said Durbin. “When it comes to taking climate action, we’re all in this together. That’s why the REDUCE Act is critical to ensuring that every state is on board to cut back on our nation’s reliance on fossil fuels and deliver savings to homeowners and businesses.” The bill would instruct the Federal Energy
