2015 All-Area Volleyball   Burlington leads with three first-teamers, Grove adds two     The first snowfall of the season pummeled the area Friday night. Luckily it has melted on my sidewalk (a couple near-falls could’ve been disastrous, especially since my wife is recovering from a broken foot), and we’re […]

Catholic Central coach Aldrich reflects on special season   The high school football season lasted nearly four months in the area, with Catholic Central and Lake Geneva Badger both losing in their respective state semifinal games last weekend. Waterford made it to Level 3, and both Union Grove and Wilmot […]

This weekend is the final Friday night before the state football tournament at Camp Randall Stadium, home of the Wisconsin Badgers, and two area teams have a chance to play on the state’s second-most popular field.

  When Lake Geneva Badger snuck into the Division 2 football playoff field as the largest school after years of being the small fish in the massive Division 1 pond, the 7-2 Badgers became a sleeper pick to make some noise this postseason. On Friday night, the Southern Lakes Conference’s […]

Catholic Central won its first conference title since 2010, and Union Grove earned its first playoff berth since 2009. Lake […]

  Our esteemed photographer Earlene Frederick covered the Delavan-Wilmot game Friday night. Here is the EPIC post-game speech by Comets coach Bret St. Arnauld. It’s the GREATEST VIDEO ON THE PLANET. ENJOY!           It was like something out of an edge-of-your-seat, pulse-pounding Batman movie. A superhero […]

  I’m sure the Union Grove football team would’ve loved to take care of business at home Oct. 9 and clinch its first playoff berth since 2009. But if the Broncos had won last Friday night against already playoff-bound Lake Geneva Badger, this weekend wouldn’t have shaped up to be […]
