Here are some of Friday’s high school football games involving Western Wisconsin teams:Ellsworth (1-0) at Waukesha South (1-0), 6 p.m.Ellsworth escaped against a stout Edgar team that could contend for a Division 7 title this season with an 8-6 victory last week.

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 04:24:20 GMT

Hudson has been a football program largely built on defensive dominance for years. Last year’s group certainly lived up to the billing, holding seven of its 11 opponents to single-digit scoring.But that unit also featured the likes of Will McDonald, who now plays for Wisconsin. The Raiders lost roughly half of their starters from a defense that helped power a nine-win 2022 season.So how would the new look unit hold up this fall?If Week 1 was any indication, quite well. The 2023 defense did something the 2022 unit never did, pitching a shutout in a 31-0 win over Marshfield last week. The performance featured three interceptions, two of which came from Jeremy LaBlanc.Hudson’s defense set itself a high bar right off the bat.“Absolutely. Not even Week 1. Our bar is always high, even coming into the year, being ‘The Hudson defense,’ ” said senior defensive lineman Aiden Tepper-Engh, a St. Thomas commit. “But there’s always better — better blitz path, better coverage, whatever. The bar is...

Meanwhile, the dozens of people still displaced enter more than two months housed in a motel."Obviously, it feels good to be at the halfway point, but it would feel better to be at the finish line," Madden says Wednesday morning.Mayor Madden says progress is progress, but it’s been made agonizingly slow as even more code violations have been discovered at the Delaware Avenue complex."I’m not sure if you’re familiar, but as two-by-fours go down, they don’t rest on the foundation. There’s a plate down there, a wooden plate. Some of those sill plates were rotted or missing. Some of the timbers—the two-by-fours—were damaged in the deconstruction," he explains to NEWS10's Mikhaela Singleton."I would, as an amateur, call them structural issues," he goes on to say.The owners given yet another chance Wednesd...
