There’s an unlikely link between the two teens who have won new SUV’s through Tri-County Operation Cool in the last two years.
University High School junior Logan Wolf and last year’s winner, Jacob Day of Heyworth, go way back.
“We’ve been best friends since preschool,” Wolf said. “Coming out of the place last night my mom called his mom and his mom was ecstatic”. Logan recalled Jacob encountered a similar obstacle when he tried to start the car with what he hoped was the winning key.

Sponsors Mitsubishi Motors North America, State Farm Insurance, and McLean Co Deputies helped the organization give away over 240 prizes including gift cards, laptop computers, headphones, and cash. Students from 19 area schools filled the NCWHS auditorium for the two plus hour program which is meant to encourage safe driving habits in teens.
Former DeWitt County Sheriff Roger Massey helped create Operation Cool after his daughter was killed in a car crash in 1997. If she would have been wearing her seat belt, he believes she would be here today.
