1. Lincoln-Way East: The Griffins return QB Blake Winkler, RB Tyler Starke and WR J.J. Robertson after posting a 9-2 record and reaching the second round of the Class 7A football playoffs. Robertson is an Illini recruit. Ivy League schools are courting Winkler. And you know coach Rob Zvonar will find some guys to play defense, don’t you? Tonight: vs. Edwardsville, 6 p.m. at Illinois State University. 2.
