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...

  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.

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.

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...

  The Whitehall baseball team’s hopes of winning the Dairyland Conference championship took a big hit with two conference losses last week. The week got off to a good start as the Norse beat Cochrane-Fountain City on Monday and Alma/Pepin on Tuesday to extend their winning streak to five. That set...
The Blair-Taylor boys track team took first, while the Gale-Ettrick-Trempealeau teams were both second at the Lien/Anderson Invitational at B-T last week Tuesday. Kristoffer Sandal, Hunter Wagner and DaVonne Turner all had at least a hand in two first-place finishes for the Wildcats. Sandal won...
The 2023 high school softball season is racing to the finish, and the Gale-Ettrick-Trempealeau squad is likely feeling it this week.
