All I can say is, that there are several internet sites that list Roger Phegley's birthplace, and every one of them list East Peoria, Illinois.
Although in this old article, Roger is quoted as saying "I was born and raised in Peoria"-
But then he was speaking to the MVC HOF crowd and talking in general terms, since we know he was raised primarily in East Peoria, not Peoria. Though I also think it is likely he would have been born at one of the Peoria hospitals.
Kevin McKenna is listed in the NBA database as having been born in St. Paul, Minnesota. I do recall that his family lived for a while in Peoria.
