The Blair-Taylor softball team can still put up runs. The Wildcats scored double-digits in three games last week – all wins — as it improved to 4-0 on the season. The team began the week with a 12-2 win over Osseo-Fairchild on Monday before besting Whitehall, 13-4, on Tuesday. Its biggest offensive...

Pitching and defense led the way as the Independence/Gilmanton didn’t allow scores in 13 of 14 innings in two wins last week. The Indees threw a shutout to beat Cochrane-Fountain City, 6-0, last Thursday. On Friday, Augusta scored two in the first, but that’s all they’d get as I/G won, 9-2. I/G...
Dave Bjorge stepped away from the Arcadia High School softball program in 2023, but the longtime Raider is back at the helm for the 2024 season. Bjorge is back, and the early indications of his return last week look promising as Arcadia opened the year with a pair of wins. The Raiders took down...
While much of the roster has changed, the end result was the same as the Blair-Taylor softball team began its season with a 9-2 win over Eleva-Strum on Friday. The Wildcats have replaced all but two starters from last year’s team that advanced to the sectional final. Included is the pitcher...
Three Blair-Taylor pitchers were unhittable as the team picked up a shutout win, 6-0, over Stanley-Boyd on Friday. The three B-T pitchers combined to strike out 13 batters with one walk and no hits allowed. Tavian Shramek got the start and pitched four perfect innings with 10 strikeouts. Jackson...
The Whitehall softball team was trailing by nine runs before ever stepping to the plate in last Thursday’s 14-4 loss to Alma/Pepin. Walks and errors were an issue as the Eagles scored six runs with just one hit. That hit was a two-run single after a walk and a hit batter. After another walk and...
The Whitehall baseball team earned a split in its first two games last week. The Norse season began on Thursday with a 5-1 nonconference loss at home against Arcadia (see story elsewhere in Sports). Whitehall came back to Melby Park the next day and evened its record with a 12-3 win over Alma...
The Independence/Gilmanton baseball team began its season with a 9-0 win over Osseo-Fairchild on Saturday. Brandon Sylla pitched four shutout innings without allowing a hit while striking out 10 as he earned the win. Chase Back went three-for-four for the team while Nathan Pyka and Xavier Santillan...
The Gale-Ettrick-Trempealeau High School softball team is officially back in action after the Red Hawks played a pair of games last week to open the 2024 schedule. Last Friday marked opening day for G-E-T, which fell to Prescott before dropping a closer matchup with Aquinas on Saturday. Two Coulee...
