Trempealeau County electors will get to vote this fall on what size jail the county may build in the future. But their choice will be advisory, and it won’t include all the options that opponents of existing plans for the jail had sought. The county board of...

The Independence/Gilmanton football team had nearly as many total yards as Melrose-Mindoro, but four turnovers contributed to a 47-8 loss in Independence on Friday.
I/G’s first drive of the game was a sign of things to come as the team drove deep into Mel-Min territory before an interception was...
After a convincing sweep to start the week, the Blair-Taylor volleyball team needed to rally in its Dairyland Conference opener.
B-T controlled all three sets in its win over Mondovi on Tuesday. On Thursday, however, the Wildcats scored a combined 28 points in the first two sets, falling behind 0-2...
Through two sets of a road matchup against Westby, it looked like the Gale-Ettrick-Trempealeau volleyball team was in perfect position to snap a 21-match losing streak in conference play dating back to 2023. When the opportunity slipped away and the skid bumped up to 22, the Red Hawks were left to...
By a single stroke, the Arcadia girls golf team put together a statement performance to win the second Coulee mini meet of the season and stake their claim as a conference championship contender.
The Raiders compiled a team score of 193 to just barely eke past Black River Falls (194) and finish...
The Whitehall football team recovered from a wild start, but couldn’t get consistent push at the line of scrimmage in its 28-14 loss to Eleva-Strum last week.
The Cardinals began the game with a kickoff that bounced off of a Whitehall player, and then ran a hook-and-ladder pass play for a touchdown...
The Independence/Gilmanton volleyball team got closer with each set, but couldn’t get over the hump against Eleva-Strum on Thursday.
None of the three sets were lopsided, but all ended up being losses for the Indees — by a total of 13 points.
The loss dropped I/G to 0-1 in Dairyland Conference...
The Gale-Ettrick-Trempealeau football team knew they were facing an uphill battle when a state-ranked conference foe was coming to town. That visit resulted in a fourth straight loss for the Red Hawks during what has been a very difficult stretch of games to start the 2025 season.
The Aquinas...
Trempealeau County runners were well represented at a meet in their own backyard, with Gale-Ettrick-Trempealeau’s Adrian Bautista and Independence/Gilmanton’s Taylor Sylla each winning their respective races.
Bautista crossed the finish line first in the boys’ race and Sylla did the same in the...

Much like the late country music star Eddie Rabbitt, the Arcadia football team loves a rainy night. Or at least a rainy half.
A wet opening half couldn’t put a damper on the Raiders’ aerial attack, and more favorable conditions in the second half allowed Arcadia (3-1, 1-1 Coulee) to pull away even...
