Talk about an encore. The Oak Park and River Forest High School wrestling team repeated as Class 3A state champs by defeating Sandburg 39-16 in Saturday's final of the IHSA Dual Team Tournament at the US Cellular Coliseum in Bloomington. The Huskies dominated the Eagles with 10 wins in 14 matches to cap off another memorable title run. Last season, the Huskies beat Marist 31-22 to claim the 3A championship. OPRF has won three state championships over the last seven years.

Michelle Mbekeani-Wiley, the 25-year-old University of Chicago law school graduate and student advocate, has withdrawn from the race for one of three open seats on the Oak Park and River Forest High School District 200 Board of Education in the upcoming April 7 election.

There are still more questions than answers over the issue of where a marijuana dispensary, originally planned for the corner of Harlem and North avenues, will be located.

Ald. Deborah Graham failed to win Tuesday the 50.1 percent of the vote she needed to avoid an April 7 runoff.

According to Rupa Datta, this is an exciting time for the K-12 educational landscape and she believes she can help the District 97 Board of Education navigate that terrain.
