The Milwaukee Brewers on October 15 finished sweeping the Los Angeles Dodgers in the National League Championship. It was sweet revenge after having been swept by the Dodgers in 2025, as they went on to win the World Series for the second consecutive year.
The Brewers won the first two games in Milwaukee, 2-1 and 7-4, followed by 6-2 and 6-4 in Los Angeles. There was no need to play the maximum possible seven games.
It will be at least Saturday before it’s known whether the Brewers’ competitor in the World Series will be the Tampa Bay Rays or the Cleveland Guardians. As of Thursday evening, Cleveland is ahead by two games to one.
The first game of the World Series will be in Milwaukee on Friday, March 23. The series winner will once again be the best of seven games. Tickets are expected to be reserved for season ticket holders, with the general public having to seek tickets on the resale market such as Seat Geek or Stub Hub.

LA CROSSE, Wis. — The UW-Whitewater football team improved to 5-0 on the season and 2-0 in league play after defeating UW-La Crosse 24-18 Saturday, October 10. UWW’s defense finished with two sacks, an interception and a fourth-quarter goal-line stand that denied a touchdown.
UW-Whitewater produced the only points of the first quarter on a 12-play, 62-yard drive capped by Grant Urban’s (Frankfort, Ill./Lincoln-Way East) 28-yard field goal with 57 seconds left.
The Eagles got on the board in the second quarter with a touchdown. The Warhawks responded as Cole Warren (Roscoe, Ill./Hononegah) capped a 69-yard UWW drive with a 3-yard touchdown run. Grant Urban’s (Frankfort, Ill./Lincoln-Way East) extra point gave the Warhawks a 10-7 lead with 4:41 left before halftime. The scoring march included a 27-yard completion from Warren to Luke Roeder (Collierville, Tenn./Collierville) and a 28-yard run by Tommy Novotny (Milwaukee, Wis./Marquette). The Warhawk defense kept UWL off the scoreboard on the final two possessions to send UWW into the locker-room with the three-point advantage.
On the other side of the break, Kortz intercepted an Eagles pass – his third interception in two games – and UWW struck on the next play when Warren connected with Tyler Vasey (Crystal Lake, Ill/Prairie Ridge) for a 57-yard touchdown early in the third quarter. Grant Urban’s (Frankfort, Ill./Lincoln-Way East) extra point made it 17-7. A safety and a touchdown following a Warhawk turnover allowed the Eagles to within two, 17-15. UW-La Crosse opted to go for two on the touchdown, but the conversion was thwarted by the Warhawk defense to maintain the lead.
Midway through the fourth, Warren capped an 80-yard drive with a 21-yard touchdown pass to Roeder, and Grant Urban’s (Frankfort, Ill./Lincoln-Way East) extra point gave UWW a 24-15 lead. The Eagles made it a one possession game with a field goal, but the UW-Whitewater defense was stellar late once again. UWW’s defense kept the home team out of the end zone on its final drive, including EJ Gritzner’s (Lake Geneva, Wis./Badger) sack from the UWW5 and a fourth-down incompletion at the UWW10 with 1:02 remaining. The Warhawks were able to run out the rest of the clock for the 24-18 win.
Warren completed 19 of 32 passes for 220 yards and two touchdowns while adding a rushing touchdown. Novotny rushed 23 times for 111 yards and caught five passes for 14 yards. Vasey finished with seven receptions for 94 yards and a touchdown and added 15 yards on two punt returns. Jayden Fowler (Morton Grove, Ill./Niles Township West) recorded a team-high 10 tackles – his second consecutive game with double digit tackles – and forced a fumble.
The Warhawks are back on the road next Saturday in Menomonie. Kickoff against the Blue Devils is set for 1 PM.

In front of a packed Perkins Stadium crowd, the No. 6 UW-Whitewater football team topped No. 2 UW-River Falls 24-16 Saturday. The massive crowd of 20,118 made for an incredible atmosphere in the huge Warhawk win. [Per the UW-W website, the attendance was the third highest on record. The all-time record was the game on October 5, 2024 versus UW-Oshkosh, with attendance of 21, 233.]
As expected, each team was dominant in their go-to styles with the Warhawks winning the run game 190-60 in net rushing yards and 3-0 in rushing touchdowns. The Falcons dominated in the air with a 229-38 sway in passing yards, but just a 1-0 advantage in passing touchdowns. UW-Whitewater’s defense solidified the win with five sacks for a loss of 21 yards and three interceptions for 83 yards in returns.
Drew Kortz (Freedom, Wis./Freedom) and the Warhawk defense set the tone early. The defensive back jumped a passing lane and picked off the Falcon quarterback on their first drive to give UWW the ball with great field position at the RF28. Unfortunately, UW-Whitewater couldn’t turn the takeaway into points, but they would be the first to score, getting on the board on their next drive.
Tommy Novotny (Milwaukee, Wis./Marquette) was tapped for the carry on 3rd-and-17. The shifty backed bounced it outside and up the River Falls sideline, breaking a tackle and outrunning the defense for a 69-yard score. Hunter Liszka (St. Charles, Ill./St. Charles North) hit the point after for a 7-0 lead.
UW-River Falls ended the shutout on a safety after a bad snap sailed into the endzone late in the first quarter.
The Warhawks responded with another huge Novotny run. This time, Novotny took the handoff on the first play of the drive and made a defender miss with a phenomenal cut that had a linebacker diving at air as he bolted up the near sideline for a 65-yard touchdown. Liszka’s extra point made it 14-2 UWW.
The Falcons used a five-play, 75-yard drive to pull within five, 14-9 on their next drive. An interception at the Warhawk five led to a pick-6 and the first, and only, UW-River Falls lead of the game, 16-14. Before the half, UWW would reclaim the lead.
After the UW-Whitewater drive stalled at the River Falls 28, Liszka split the uprights on a career-long 45-yard field goal to give the Warhawks a 17-16 lead. They held the lead the rest of the way.
Following a scoreless third quarter, Novotny gave UWW a cushion with his third rushing TD of the game. This time the freshman scampered in from 11-yards out. Liszka hit the extra point to give UW-Whitewater a 24-16 advantage. The Warhawk defense was up the task the rest of the way.
UWW turned the Falcons over on downs twice in the final quarter, the first at the Warhawk 35 and the second at UWW’s four-yard line. On UWRF’s final drive, the Falcons ran five plays in the redzone and the Warhawks thwarted every scoring chance. UW-Whitewater took over with 19 seconds remaining to kneel out the clock.
Career games from multiple players bolstered the Warhawk win. Novotny posted career marks in rushing attempts (23), rushing yards (192), rushing touchdowns (3) and longest rush (69). Defensively, Jayden Fowler (Morton Grove, Ill./Niles Township West) paced the Warhawks with a career-high 12 tackles. Dom Beres (Bartlett, Ill./St. Francis) also tallied a career-high in the tackles column with 10. Jace Chamberlain (Oak Forest, Ill./St. Laurence) had a phenomenal game with 3.5 tackles for a loss of 17 and two sacks for a loss of 15 – both career bests. Kortz’s pair of interceptions are the most for him in a single game in his career. He added four tackles, a tackle for loss, a pass breakup and 54 interception return yards to his stats on the day.
UW-Whitewater heads back out on the road next week to take on No. 19 UW-La Crosse Saturday at 1 PM.

The regular season has officially come to a close for the boys’ and girls’ cross country teams. The Whippets traveled to Green Lake on Friday night to compete in the Nightfall Classic, one of the most unique meets of the season. The entire event is contested under large light towers, with Christmas lights wrapping around the turns and trees throughout the golf course. It truly is a sight to see!
Girls
Competing in the Division 2 race, Virginia Nelson once again led the way with a steady effort, placing 35th in 22:18. Melody Smith has hovered around the low 23-minute range for the past few weeks, showing impressive consistency regardless of the difficulty of the course. She placed 53rd with a time of 23:18. Ema Aranda raced her way around the course to stop the clock at 24:04 in 70th place. Peyton Comfort was on fire Friday night, breaking her lifetime best with a 24:56 finish. It was her first-ever sub-25-minute 5K, earning her 94th place. Lia Ramirez also had a terrific night, running a lifetime best by a large margin. She placed 156th in 30:15 — just 16 seconds away from breaking the 30-minute barrier! As a team, the girls finished 12th overall.
Boys
Tyler Carollo continues to show his consistency as well. Three of his last four races have been within a handful of seconds of one another, and on Friday he placed 35th in 18:46. Marcus Roe turned in another sub-20-minute effort, placing 66th in 19:48.Marcus Roselle continued to contribute as the team’s third runner, placing 76th in 20:07. Wyatt Esch and Angel Kilar ran together for much of the back half of the race, but Wyatt was able to pull ahead late and placed 104th in 21:06. Being able to run with Wyatt once again helped Angel, who shaved a few more seconds off his lifetime personal best. Angel placed 109th in 21:22. Preston Miller continues to improve in the sixth-runner spot and ran a lifetime best of 21:51 to place 120th. Jameson Rothwell rounded out the varsity seven, placing 130th in 22:40. Carson Miller placed 134th in 23:07, with Hunter Runnoe right behind him in 143rd with a time of 23:31. Ian Agen closed out his night with a season best by a large margin, placing 170th in 27:18. The varsity boys finished 14th overall, while the JV team did not have enough runners to record a team score.
With the regular season now in the books, the Whippets turn their full attention to the Rock Valley Conference Championship, which will be contested on their HOME COURSE at UW-Whitewater on Thursday, October 15.
The championship schedule is:
Girls Varsity: 4:00 PM

Earning another conference win Thursday night has Whippet Soccer poised to finish conference play next week in a very good position. The rain never let up last night against Big Foot, but luckily, neither did your Whippets. Despite the gloomy weather, WHS got off to a flying start when Elijah Gutierrez opened the scoring in just the 3′ minute with a powerfully struck free kick that was too much for the keeper to handle. This early momentum boost managed to elevate Whitewater’s play and saw them largely dominate the first half. Big Foot had a few minutes of sustained possession, and with just 28 seconds remaining in the half, they were able to equalize.
WHS didn’t let up and came out even stronger and faster in the second half. With numerous chances either saved by the goalie, put just wide, or even off of the post, Whitewater looked like the team more likely to score. Finally, the deadlock was broken in the 66′ minute when Christian Aranda took a long throw that traveled almost all the way to the penalty spot. Christian’s throw found Evan Amundson who had a beautiful flick on header to Langdon Coburn who fired the ball into the roof of the net making the score 2-1. 4 minutes later, sustained pressure by Wesley Baker and Derick Martinez led to a mistake at the back where Big Foot conceded an own goal. Stand-out defensive performances from Frank Mbifi, Aaron Garcia, Anjay Magaña, and Hector Aranda helped to make sure the Chiefdogs never found their way back into the game.
Whippet Soccer ends their conference play next week Tuesday (10/6) when they host East Troy for Parents’ Night. WHS will also be honoring our seniors on Thursday (10/8) when we host Shoreland Lutheran. We hope to see you all there. Go, Whippets!

The Whippet Volleyball Program had a successful night in Monroe on Tuesday, September 29, with all three teams showing determination, teamwork, and continued growth throughout the evening.
The night started with an exciting three-set victory for the JV1 team over Monroe. After dropping the first set, the Whippets responded by winning the second and third sets to earn the match victory. Strong defense and serving helped the team build momentum down the stretch, while their energy and determination allowed them to come together and finish strong.
The JV2 team also put together an exciting finish. After losing the first two sets, the Whippets battled back in the third, eventually winning an extended set, 28-26. The team continued to work together, using strong defense and serving to keep the pressure on Monroe. Their refusal to give up as the set went into extra points was great to see.
The Varsity squad then took the court and battled through a competitive four-set match. The Whippets got off to a slow start in the first set, falling behind by five points before rallying to take the lead and ultimately win the set, 25-23.
The slow start continued in the second set as the Whippets found themselves down 0-6. Although the team battled back and closed the deficit, Monroe held on to take the set, 21-25.
Needing to regroup in the third set, the Whippets responded with strong defense and offense to take a 25-21 victory. In the deciding fourth set, the Whippets came out firing and never looked back, closing out the match with a convincing 25-15 win over the Cheesemakers.
Coach Caitlin Dowden commented, “This was a great night overall for our entire program. Gaining a set win and a match win at both the JV2 and JV1 levels shows the improvements our program is making. For Varsity, we have been working through lineups to determine the best combinations that play to our strengths, allow our athletes to compete, and ultimately produce wins. Our team put together some of the things we have been working on in practice, and it was great to see that work produce wins. Our athletes are working hard, and we continue to focus on building a competitive mindset. Tonight, we saw glimpses of that confidence developing!”
There were some standout performances with Sophomore Jasmine Kilar posting a “double double” and a nice complete match with 11 kills, 10 digs, 3 aces, and 2 assists. Senior Rowan Seaver dished out a “double double” with 17 assists and 11 digs on the night. Senior Maddie Morton contributed 4 aces and 1 block, while Junior Mary Mason contributed 3 aces and 2 blocks. Junior Emery Kachel added one block at the right time to end set four!
The Whippets move on to next Tuesday night where they will face Delavan at Delavan.
