The 2019 Gale-Ettrick-Trempealeau High School graduate found the contact for her mom and hit ‘Dial’...

Jake Dunn
Jake Dunn was ticked off as he pushed a tee into the dirt on the tee box of the ninth hole at Ettrick Golf Club last Wednesday.
Dunn had just missed a birdie putt on his eighth hole, a gaffe he thought would keep him from getting to the course record for lowest score.
“I was pissed,” Dunn told the...
When did local sports become more about those perched in the stands than the kids wearing the jerseys?
They haven’t.
But at a recent summer baseball game, I watched parents berate an umpire over his strike zone before later taunting calls they didn’t like, eventually escalating to screaming and...
After struggling to start the season, the Arcadia Tickfer-Erickson American Legion Post 17 baseball team picked up its first win last week Monday.
Arcadia’s 0-4 start included two losses by 10 runs or more as they gave up at least six runs in each game. But last week, Post 17 limited Tomah to just...

The first two games of Genna O’Neill’s junior softball season were hard to stomach.
Her team lost the 2019-20 season to COVID the year prior, and G-E-T was headed into the season without a starting pitcher. She had worked the entire offseason on her pitches, throwing before and after school and...

Dan Stuhr remembers clearly the first time someone asked him how he handled coaching girls as the head softball coach at Gale-Ettrick-Trempealeau High School.
His response?
“I said, ‘I don’t coach girls. I coach ball players. I don’t care if they’re a boy or girl, I expect them to wear their hats,...
