Reached via text today, Hoston — a 2016 junior prospect, said NU started showing interest late last week. Banker is meeting with Hoston's academic counselor on Monday. He's still trying to get eligible for four-year schools. Hoston had 19 tackles, three sacks and 5.5 tackles for loss last season for Valley. He was in his second year at Valley.

A tractor appears to have accidentally sparked the brush fire, Kirkville Volunteer Fire Chief Kevin Bell said Monday night. He would not elaborate, except to say, "if anything overheats, it can set grass on fire if it's dry enough."

When firefighters arrived, the fire had already spread over two to three acres, Bell said.
