The Illinois High School Association has announced Dave Rigg of Albion as one of four recipients of the 2026-27 IHSA Distinguished Media Service Award.
Rigg was recognized for his work with WSAB/WFIW Radio and Edwards County streaming and joins Millie Lange, Scott Slocum and the late Jim Teckenbrock in this year’s class.
The Distinguished Media Service Award recognizes members of the media for their contributions to covering Illinois high school sports and IHSA activities.
Lange, associated with the Effingham Daily News and 979 XFM, becomes the first woman to receive the award. Teckenbrock, of WSPY, becomes the first person honored posthumously.
Slocum, a longtime voice with 1340 AM WJOL and IHSA TV, rounds out the four-member class.
The IHSA called all four “worthy honorees” in announcing the 2026-27 recipients.
