Whitewater United U15 boys played in the Brookfield indoor soccer league and just wrapped up their first session. They were ranked number one (6-0) going into the final game on Saturday, December 17th. With two injured players (Tyler and Caden) and three others players unable to make it (Avi, Richi, and Dylan), that left just enough players to play the final game and no substitutions available.
As the game began, it immediately became clear it was going to be an intense and highly fast paced game. By halftime, Whitewater was down 0-3 and running out of steam. As the 2nd half began, Whitewater knew their season and perfect record were on the line. With encouragement from Coach Tony, plays started coming together for Whitewater. At the 18th minute of the 25 minute 2nd half, Whitewater’s first goal came from Kevin. Four minutes later, Kevin scored his 2nd goal and pushed the team closer. Cruz, Issac, and Ash continued to have unbelievable defending skills to not allow the opponent to score. Casey (goalie) continued stopping shots at goal constantly to keep the score close. Two minutes later, Kevin scored the 3rd goal giving him a “hat trick” and making the score even at 3-3. With nine minutes to go to end the game, Abdi scored the 4th goal for Whitewater taking the lead at 4-3. The final eight minutes were spent with incredible defending skills by every player for Whitewater and they were using every bit of energy they had left. The game ended with Whitewater winning 4-3 in an amazing comeback and hard fought game. The entire game they had no substitutions available so no player was able to take any breaks and they did not allow any goals the 2nd half of the game. They finished their session with a perfect record 7-0 and winning the championship final.

Whitewater’s girls’ basketball team traveled to Brodhead for a conference game Tuesday night, December 20.
The Whippets got a spark on offense early in the game when Kindyl Kilar hit a jump shot within the first two seconds, forced a turnover in transition, and then Danielle DePorter hit a 3-point shot. That gave us confidence and momentum. We battled on defense throughout the game keeping the score within 9 with 9 minutes left in the second half.
Foul trouble changed that momentum, and Brodhead went on a 19-point scoring run to win 66-32.
Mayte Navejas led the team with 10 points, 6 rebounds, and 2 steals. Kindyl Kilar followed with 8 points and DePorter added 5.
