Messwood's New Football Logo Celebrates WIAA Playoff Spot

After school officials removed the existing logo because it contained a religious symbol, the Messmer/Shorewood co-op football team will wear new decals during Friday night's game.

Messmer/Shorewood football coach Drake Zortman said new helmet decals to be debuted Friday night will celebrate the success the co-op football team has realized this season. "A 6-1 record currently, and locking up a playoff berth," Zortman said, detailing the successes. Shorewood district officials removed the student-designed logo that was used this year — a greyhound and a bishop’s hat with a religious cross, which represent both schools — after a parent emailed the district and expressed concern over its religious symbolism. On Wednesday afternoon during a press conference, Zortman unveiled the team's new logo: a football with the words "2012 Playoffs" on it.  "I think we're going to be the only school celebrating on their helmets the …

Concussion Bill Meets Muster for State Legislators

Gov. Scott Walker has on his desk new legislation that would require young athletes suspected of having a head injury to be removed from the activity until he or she can be evaluated by a health care provider.

Randee Drew saw stars as he dropped to one knee.  Moments before, the 190-pound Northern Illinois cornerback attempted to tackle a 270-pound Wisconsin Badgers tight end in a game at Camp Randall Stadium during the 2002 season.  "I whacked him with everything I had," said Drew, a member of the Nicolet High School Athletic Hall of Fame. "I was kind of woozy for about two plays," he added during a recent interview. "I said, 'Please Lord, don't throw the ball over here,' because I wasn't all there." Given the hard-hitting nature of football, there is not much that can be done to prevent concussions, according to Drew. However, Drew said that once an athlete is dazed by a big hit, trainers, coaches and parents need to proper care is given to …

This bill isn't here to ban the sports, but just prevent injured kids from injuring themselves further. If you get a concussion on a play, you really shouldn't be going back on the field where you risk getting hit again.   more ›

Freshman Forward Leads Dominican to State Championship Game

With a win over Colfax Thursday night, the Knights now face off against an undefeated Cuba City team for the D4 state title.

Whitefish Bay Girls Top Shorewood in Regional Semifinals

The Blue Dukes will advance to the final round of regionals on Saturday with a home game against Brown Deer; young Shorewood team looks forward to potential of next year's squad.

The halfcourt lob that guard Maddy Garcia drained, beating the buzzer signaling the end of the first quarter, was indicative of Whitefish Bay’s night as they cruised past Shorewood Friday, 44-24, in a Division 2 WIAA regional semifinal game. It would be Garcia’s only three points of the night, but with Whitefish Bay’s defense and the Greyhounds missing six of their nine free throws, they picked up their 19th win of the season.
