FOOTBALL PREDICTIONS: Waterford-Burlington: The Rematch jumps off Friday

The picks are in: Wilmot making its move in SLC
Ladies and gentleman, it’s another exciting installment of our weekly high school football picks. Last week, Wilmot quarterback Zack Watson had a career night, leading the Panthers to victory over rival Badger. Also, Waterford and Burlington each improved to 3-0 with resounding victories.

A hidden gem for family fun
By Mike Ramczyk Correspondent What do most people think when it comes to the library? Boring. Studying. Quiet. Back in my high school days, the library was the place where you spent countless hours studying for that research paper or big test, where whispering was the loudest you could be […]
Don’t Sleep On UG
