As most teams prepare to play the Gale-Ettrick-Trempealeau boys basketball team, they have one name circled on the Red Hawks’ roster. Junior Cody Schmitz often draws double or triple team coverage, and it’s well deserved for one of the best scorers in all of Wisconsin. But teams might soon start...
The Independence/Gilmanton wrestling team is in the driver’s seat in the Dairyland Confaerence after two wins at their home dual on Thursday.  The Indees received 60 points off of forfeits in their win over Cochrane-Fountain City then came from behind to top the defending DC champions, Whitehall,...

A slow start was to blame as the Blair-Taylor boys basketball team lost its first game last week, but they improved on that in the next two games, winning both. The Wildcats fell behind by double figures in the first half of their loss Eau Claire Immanuel Lutheran last week Tuesday. They came out...
The Whitehall wrestling team picked up two dual wins, taking advantage of a handful of forfeits to top Durand and Mondovi in Durand on Friday.

The Gale-Ettrick-Trempealeau/Melrose-Mindoro high school wrestling team walked away with the top team spot at an invitational hosted by their neighbors and rivals. The Titans won Arcadia’s annual Raider Challenge on Saturday thanks to eight different wrestlers finishing in the top three in their...
A pair of Arcadia gymnasts cracked the top 10 at an invitational meet in Viroqua on Friday.

The Raiders finished seventh as a team...
The Gale-Ettrick-Trempealeau High School boys basketball team is back over .500 in Coulee Conference action.

The Gale-Ettrick-Trempealeau high school girls basketball team dropped a pair of Coulee Conference efforts last week and fell to 2-13 on the year. The Red Hawks played Arcadia close on Tuesday (see story elsewhere in Sports) before Westby took care of business against G-E-T on Friday. Viroqua (3-11...

            Independence junior Brandon Sylla looked for an open teammate as the Melrose-Mindoro defense closed in on him during last Friday’s 62-43 loss at Melrose-Mindoro High School.     (Times photograph by Benjamin Pierce)

A full speed attack from one of the top offenses in the Dairyland Conference was too much for the Independence boys basketball team to overcome last Friday. Melrose-Mindoro (11-2, 7-0 Dairyland Large) opened the game on a dominant 12-0 run, one that saw the Mustangs force multiple turnovers from...
