The Whitehall football team controlled the line of scrimmage and pulled away from Colfax late for a 38-0 win in the season opener for both teams. Whitehall scored on its first two possessions and broke the game wide open with three touchdowns in the second half. The Norse ran for 287 yards and five...
To state the exceedingly obvious, the Luke Fickell era has not gone to plan in his first two seasons in Madison. Arriving with much excitement in November 2022 after a successful stint at Cincinnati where Fickell helped guide the Bearcats to the College Football Playoff in 2021, the hiring of one...
Points were relatively easy to come by for the Gale-Ettrick-Trempealeau football team in their debut under new head coach Luke Oliver. Unfortunately for the Red Hawks, that proved doubly true for Mondovi in their opening week clash. The Buffaloes (1-0) broke things open in the second quarter on...

But dissecting how you can improve and clean things up is a whole lot easier to do following a dramatic win rather than...
A Connor Weltzien home run with two outs in the bottom of the 11th inning gave the Whitehall Whitetails the Wisconsin Baseball Association Class B championship in Augusta on Sunday. The championship game against Osceola was tied when the Arcadia High School graduate came up with two outs in the...
It feels almost trite to pump out yet another weekly column talking about the bonkers run of success the Milwaukee Brewers have recently been experiencing. What else can be said about what they’ve done in the last three months in general, but especially since the start of August? Yet at the same...
For half the teams in the Coulee Conference, there will be a new head coach roaming the sidelines when the first games of the 2025 high school football season get underway. Gale-Ettrick-Trempealeau is one of four Coulee teams to undergo a head coaching change since the end of last season. In the...
