The Whitewater Boys’ Basketball Team had a rough ending to the 2025 part of the schedule, dropping two games last weekend.

On Friday night, December 19th, East Troy rolled into town with a 5-1 record. The Trojans started fast and never looked back, as they made the night difficult for the Whippets in an 87-44 win.

Matthew Carollo led the home team with 16 points and 8 rebounds. Casey Lyon chipped in 15 points, but Whitewater struggled offensively, only shooting 17 out of 69 from the field.

In a short turnaround, Whitewater played Heritage Christian, Saturday morning, December 20th, in the Win Parkinson Invitational, at Milwaukee Bradley Tech. The Whippets again started slowly, falling behind 34-17 at halftime. Whitewater was able to chip away and battled back to climb within seven points about halfway through the second period. But Heritage Christian rebuilt the lead and defeated the Whippets 80-57.

Whitewater was again led by Matthew Carollo with 21 points and 7 rebounds. Evan Amundson scored a season high 16 points, and Casey Lyon finished with 10 points and 7 rebounds.

Whitewater is now 2-1 in the conference and 4-4 overall. Casey Lyon leads the team with a 27.5 points per game scoring average. Matthew Carollo is averaging 16 points per game and 9 rebounds per game.

The Whippets will next play on Saturday, January 3rd, at 12:30 pm in a non-conference home game against Johnson Creek. The next conference game will be Friday, January 9th, at Monroe.
