  Eight Trempealeau County athletes proved to be the best the Coulee Conference has to offer in their respective track and field events last week. Westby took the team title on the girls’ side, and the West Salem boys won team bragging rights. The Gale-Ettrick-Trempealeau girls took third, and...
The Independence/Gilmanton softball team had one close game, but otherwise struggled, losing three games in Dairyland Conference play last week. The Indees fell behind the conference’s second-place team, Melrose-Mindoro, early last week before losing 11-1 on Monday. That was followed by a 3-1 loss...
If the Independence/Gilmanton baseball team is going to contend for the Dairyland Conference title, it’s going to need a strong finish and a little luck. The Indees began last week tied with Eleva-Strum and Whitehall atop the standings, but fell to second with a 4-3 loss to Cochrane-Fountain City...

While they were close in a few games, the Whitehall softball team lost all six last week. The Norse were swept in a doubleheader against Cochrane-Fountain City on Monday before dropping games to Pepin/Alma on Tuesday and Eleva-Strum on Thursday. They were swept in another doubleheader, this time by...

Right after conceding their 1-0 lead over Gale-Ettrick-Trempealeau in a rainy, windy game at G-E-T Middle School last Friday, Arcadia baseball coach Nate Pronschinske told his team that their approach shouldn’t change. Arcadia’s players took note, sticking to the basics and getting on the base...

Elle Cox and Tatum Johnson have been the Gale-Ettrick-Trempealeau High School softball team’s most reliable performers on offense over the last month. With those two players up to bat in the bottom of the seventh inning in last Tuesday’s county battle with Arcadia in a 4-4 game, G-E-T coach Nate...

  The Gale-Ettrick-Trempealeau high school baseball team earned a cluster of Coulee Conference wins last week to stay in the top group of the conference field. The Red Hawks (11-7 overall, 6-3 Coulee) topped West Salem, Viroqua and Arcadia before the latter got revenge to hand G-E-T its only loss...

While there hasn’t been a question about which team is the best in the Dairyland Conference, the Whitehall golf team is removing all inquiries about which team might be second best. The Norse took second in all four competitions last week and widened the gap between themselves and third-place Eleva...

Last week saw a pair of Coulee Conference losses for the Arcadia High School softball team. The Raiders put up a fight against Gale-Ettrick-Trempealeau last Tuesday (see story elsewhere in Sports) but fell in walk-off fashion before Black River Falls took a 7-3 win over the Raiders on Thursday....

As coach Mitch Sobotta prepared for the first day of practice ahead of the 2023 boys golf season in April, he described his feeling about the upcoming season as “giddy.” Sobotta and the Raiders are probably feeling that same level of excitement today after putting the finishing touches on their...
