The coaches were very happy with the skill development of the Little Dribblers (ages 4-6) and shooting stars (ages 7-8) over the eight weeks. Players practiced shooting, dribbling, passing, rebounding, defense and listening skills.
Coach Jordan, John, Bob, and Brian all think the girls and boys basketball programs will have a bright future with these young players.

On Saturday the Whippets wrestlers traveled to Mount Horeb to participate in a 16 team tournament and found great success as a team. The team wrestled very well throughout the tournament coming home with 5 runner-ups and 4 bronze medalists. The whippet depth proved to be enough to hold off Edgerton in the final team standings to bring home the team championship. The coaching staff was very happy with the performance of the day as everyone competing finished in the top five of their weight class and many had some big pins along the way.
Leading the way to the championship matches were; Trenten Zahn, Jaden Salmieri, Carter Friend, Amaru Casas and Gehrig Monday. These guys wrestled extremely well throughout the day but just came up short of a championship. This will be something that will help fuel their fire and keep them hungry as the season progresses.
Bringing home the bronze medal for the whippets and securing valuable team placement points in the last round were Braulio Belmudez, Marcus DePorter,David Cushman and Fabian Gonzalez. These guys each only had one loss on the day which was a great showing.
The team is next in action on Thursday when they travel to Beloit Memorial for a non-conference dual meet against the Purple Knights.

Saturday the Whitewater JV wrestling team traveled to Elkhorn. The Elkhorn Invitational was made up of 18 tough teams. Most of the teams there were from division one schools. Whitewater traveled with 12 wrestlers to the tournament.
Diego Tovar started the day off with pinning his first opponent. For the rest of the team, it was a slower start but bounced back strong. Having the first round under their belts, the team really turned it around winning most of their matches in the second round. Many of Whitewater wrestlers were wrestling for a medal the third and fourth round. The Whitewater team was very motivated after the lunch break coming out and wrestling really well. In the final round of wrestling, we had Diego Tovar starting the round with his last pin of the day taking first place at the tournament pinning his way through the day. As a team the whippets had five wrestlers take second place, Brianna Staebler, Dylan DuClos, Denver Isbell, Angel Fores, and Josh
The Whitewater JV team finished in fourth place out of 18 teams. Overall it was a really good day for the Whitewater JV team. As a team, they keep showing improvements on the wrestling mat, which is exactly what the coaches are looking for as the season progresses.
