– Today, U.S. Senators Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) and Cory Booker (D-NJ) introduced legislation to protect the estimated two million wild kangaroos who are needlessly killed every year for the use of their leather in commercial products.

ROXANA — Fullback Mason Crump has emerged as an offensive powerhouse for the Shells during the 2024 football season. In a recent big win against Civic Memorial, Crump scored touchdowns on runs of 6, 4 and 22 yards, showcasing his versatility and athleticism.
