La Grange native and star running back J.K. Dobbins was selected by the Baltimore Ravens in the second round of the NFL football draft Friday. Dobbins was the 55th overall player chosen. After his selection, Dobbins shared the above doctored photo of him already wearing a Baltimore jersey with the announcement that he planned to wear No. 27 with the Ravens (he wore No. 22 with the Leps and No. 2 at Ohio State). The new number is an apparent homage to J.K.’s late father, Lawrance Dobbins, who wore No. 27 when he starred for the Leps in the 1990s. Lots more on Dobbins on Page B1 today.

La Grange’s Annabelle Combs celebrated her fifth birthday Tuesday. Because of coronavirus precautions, she couldn’t have a normal birthday party, but dozens of cars (and one horse and one goat) came by her front yard to wish her a happy birthday. Annabelle is shown here petting the horse as she is held by her mother Alyssa. Annabelle and one of her brothers, Jude, both have Spinal Muscle Atrophy (SMA) a progressive genetic disorder. The Combs family was poised to hold their 5th annual 5k to Cure SMA in honor of their kids earlier this year but had to postpone it because of coronavirus precautions. They plan to have it later this year. More photos of the birthday drive-thru festivities are on Page B2 today. Photo by Jeff Wick
