I understand why high school summer baseball is no longer being played here or anywhere in Wisconsin, but that doesn’t mean I like it. Reading newspaper archives from 25 years ago has brought back memories and, more importantly, taught me a few history lessons. I enjoy reminiscing with former...
If the Milwaukee Brewers and Green Bay Packers love doing one thing at the trade deadline, it’s reportedly being “in conversations” for trade targets without actually pulling the trigger on any seismic deals. Perhaps that’s a little too harsh on the Brewers since they are regularly active at the...
The pads will be popping soon enough as high school football teams in the area and throughout the state begin practicing this week. The players won’t wear pads until a few practices are under their belts, but Tuesday marked the official start of the 2025-26 Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic...

Unlike last year in their state debut, the Arcadia Post 17 American Legion softball team could not navigate their way to the championship round. However, the defending state runner-up still acquitted themselves well, winning two games and suffering losses only to the top two teams in their division...

Over four decades into a Hall of Fame coaching career, Randy Storlie’s passion for basketball — both the actual coaching and advocating on the direction of the sport in Wisconsin — remains as high as ever. Later this year, Storlie will enter his 43rd season as the head boys basketball coach at...
The vibes around this year’s Milwaukee Brewers team are already great thanks to their big surge over the past couple months to cement themselves as one of the best teams in baseball this season, but a celebration of some of the team’s former players this past weekend did a fabulous job of tapping...
The Gale-Ettrick-Trempealeau Post 354 American Legion softball team’s season officially came to a close a little short of state after they endured a pair of regional losses last week. G-E-T took part in a Division 2 regional tournament that was held last Tuesday and Wednesday at the Park Bowl in...

A pair of losses to a Westby squad who had already beaten them earlier this month officially brought an end to another summer of legion baseball for Gale-Ettrick-Trempealeau. The G-E-T Post 354 American Legion baseball team (17-7) was defeated twice by Westby/Coon Valley over the span of a couple...

The Whitehall Whitetails scored a total of five runs in three games last weekend, while their opponents scored at least five in each game. Whitehall was originally scheduled to play on Wednesday, but that game against Osseo was moved to Saturday. The Whitetails couldn’t get going at the plate,...

In an offseason that began with many questioning whether or not Giannis Antetokounmpo would demand a trade to leave the Bucks (...
