On Friday night, January 30, the Whitewater Girls’ Wrestling team traveled to Lodi High School to participate in a 5-team tournament and found much success. After a delay in the start of action and much anticipation, the girls hit the mat and wrestled extremely tough on the night coming home with six champions and leading the way in the team score, outdistancing Mukwonago.
Team Champions
Starting the championship trend was Isabelle Cantu (100) going 3-0 on the evening with a pin and a couple very well wrestled matches on her way to the championship. Next up was Ema Aranda (107) who was 4-0 on the night with all pins. Storm De Porter (126) finished 3-0 on the night with 2 pins and a great championship match outconditioning her opponent to bring home her first high school championship. Next up for the champions was Berma Vubumu (145) who also brought home her first high school wrestling championship going 3-0 with 2 pins along the way. Payton Taylor (165) finished the evening 3-0 with two pins along the way, defeating a strong girl by pin in the championship match. Finally, closing out the evening of championships for the Whippets was Marianna Kubicz (185) who had two pins. She weathered the storm in a very physical match in the opening round. She remained calm, got to her position on her feet, and ended up taking the girl down to pin.
Gold Medalists
Just missing out on the gold medal was Atreya Wilson (138) who was 3-1 on the night. Atreya had a tough loss but came back from it by going back to her basics, securing two pins along the way. Aubrey Fuoco (145) continues to improve each time she is on the mat proving that showing up to practice, listening, and doing really pays off as she had two pins on her way to the championship before falling to her teammate. This is the highest place that Aubrey has had in any tournament in high school.
Coming in 5th place, yet going 3-1, was Emma Maas (114) with two pins. Kora Davis (120) also took 5th place in what I would say was the most competitive weight class in the tournament with a couple of state ranked girls in the bracket. Kora wrestled her heart out and did not back down to any of the girls.
Also wrestling very tough on the night were Silvia Harris (120) and Amanda Pena-Ramirez (145) who battled every match but were unable to reach top 5.
The girls are next in action on Friday night, February 6, when they travel to Edgerton High School to participate in the Rock Valley Conference Tournament. Wrestling begins at 5:00.

The Whitewater High School Players will be performing “Radium Girls” Feb. 26-28 at 7 p.m. and Mar. 1 at 2 p.m. in the James M. Stewart Auditorium at WHS.
“Radium Girls” is based on a true and tragic story that defined American labor history in the 1920’s. The Radium Girls were factory workers who painted dials with radium-based paint and mysteriously started dying. The “ghost girls” were instructed to finely point their brushes by molding the bristles with their mouths, but this process ultimately poisoned the laborers themselves. As doctors began to discover radium’s devastating harm, five women in New Jersey sued their employers but reached a settlement outside the court in 1928. Both topics of workplace hazards and corporate accountability are explored throughout the play. The legacy of the Radium Girls can’t be understated — even today. Their case was among the first in which a company was held responsible for the health and safety of its employees, and it led to a variety of reforms and to the creation of the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).
General admission tickets ($12 for adults, $7 for students) are available beginning one hour before the performances.
Under the direction of Jim McCulloch, the cast includes Ian Agen, Camdyn Avila, Isabella Cohen, Peyton Comfort, Esteban Diaz-Gallegos, Joseph Falcon-Kienbaum, Aurora Gerblick, Vivian Harris, Ameera Lin, Sam Nickelsburg, Sophia Noonan, Kia Peterson, and Lia Ramirez. Josie Davis and Jesus Ramirez support the production in their important role as stage manager.

Grief rarely follows a straight line. For many, the experience of losing a loved one feels complex, non-linear, and composed of many layers. To help community members navigate these fluctuating emotions, Rainbow Community Care is hosting its unique, hands-on workshop: “Broken Pots: Exploring Our Beautiful Brokenness Through Art.”
Led by the experienced bereavement team of Laura Wessels, Hilary Furnish, and Terry Hein, the workshop is inspired by the Japanese art of Kintsugi—the practice of repairing broken pottery to highlight the fractures as part of the object’s history. This approach views the cracks not as flaws that need to be fixed, but as a unique part of the story. “In the breaking and reconstructing of these pots, space is made to acknowledge both the pain of loss and the enduring love that remains,” says Rainbow Bereavement Counselor Hilary Furnish. “It becomes a tangible way to see your own experience and realize that while you are changed by loss, you are still whole and there is a different kind of beauty in that.”
Event Details: Date: Saturday, February 7, 2026 Time: 10:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. Location: Rainbow Hospice Care Inpatient Center (Community Room) 1225 Remmel Dr., Johnson Creek, WI Cost: Free and open to the public
Rainbow Community Care remains committed to supporting the community long after a loved one has passed. Through its 13-month bereavement program, the organization offers the counseling and community connection necessary to help individuals process their grief and find a path forward. This workshop provides a safe, creative environment to put feelings into motion and discover a new perspective on the healing journey.
Registration: Space is limited for this hands-on experience. To reserve your spot, please call (920) 674-6255 today.
