The Whippet football team played a tough game against undefeated defending conference champs, Monroe, last week on September 3, losing 42-0. Monroe was able to take advantage of some early Whitewater mistakes and jumped out to a quick lead that Whitewater just couldn’t come back from. Although they played much better in the second half, the Whippets look to improve following a tough loss.
This week is a BIG week for Whippet Football as we will have the Grand Re-Opening of the new turf athletic stadium on Friday, September 10. It will be a night celebrating the past, present, and future Whippets as we will be honoring the 1980 State Champion WHS Football Team as well as it also being Youth Night. Stop by the annual Booster Club Tailgate/Cookout for a great meal as well beginning at 5:00 p.m.! It’s going to be a great night as the Whippets take on the Crusaders from Madison Edgewood!

Per the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, September 5:
“USA Basketball domination in Tokyo continued into September.
Mere weeks after the U.S. men and women won basketball gold medals at the Tokyo Olympics, the men’s wheelchair team also laid claim to gold with a 64-60 win over host Japan on the final day of Paralympic competition Sept. 4.
It’s the second straight Olympics in which the men’s team secured a gold medal.
Four members of the 12-athlete team hail Wisconsin, including Milton native John Boie, Nate Hinze of Cedar Grove, Matt Lesperance of Coleman (now living in Sun Prairie) and Jake Williams of Milwaukee. All four came up through the powerful Wisconsin-Whitewater wheelchair basketball program.
A fifth, Matt Scott, hails from Detroit but also competed at Wisconsin-Whitewater.”
