An article (click here) in the Lake Geneva Regional News on August 24 begins as follows: “During the past decade, Big Foot has owned Whitewater.

The two football teams played seven times from 2012 to 2019 and the Chiefs won all seven—and all of them by at least 15 points.

That streak of dominance ended on Aug. 20 when the Whippets beat Big Foot 24-19 in the teams’ season opener at UW-Whitewater’s Perkins Stadium.”

Big Foot head coach Mike Welden is quoted as saying, “It’s probably a little eye-opener for our juniors and seniors, who hadn’t really ever lost to Whitewater. That’s a vastly improved Whitewater team, all credit to Coach Bleck out there.”
