WHS Football Team Hopes to Rebound from Loss, Makes Plans to Celebrate Grand Re-Opening of Home Field

September 7, 2021

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!

Five Former UW-W Athletes Win Paralympic Gold in Wheelchair Basketball

September 6, 2021

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 BoieNate 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.”

The No. 4 ranked University of Wisconsin-Whitewater football team tallied 41 first-half points Saturday afternoon on its way to a 46-7 victory against Carthage in a non-conference contest at Perkins Stadium, the team’s first game in more than 21 months.

The Warhawks (1-0 overall) rolled up 478 yards of total offense and held the Firebirds to 111 yards, including 24 rushing yards on 36 attempts.

Running back Alex Peete totaled nine carries for 54 yards and four touchdowns, including a 35-yarder to start the scoring just over four minutes into the game. His four scores tied a program record, which he also tied in 2018 at Dubuque.

Quarterback Max Meylor finished 12-of-16 through the air with two touchdowns, including a 47-yarder to wide receiver Tyler Holte midway through the first quarter and an 45-yarder to tight end Michael Berentes with just over a minute left in the second.

Linebacker Hawk Heffner paced a balanced defensive effort with six tackles. Defensive lineman Mackenzie Balanganayi registered four stops, including one sack and 1.5 tackles for loss. Linebacker Shane McGrail also recorded four tackles and one sack, which was a safety early in the third quarter to put UW-W ahead 43-0.

Peete scored on three 1-yard runs at the 11:12, 8:35 and 2:08 marks of the second quarter on his way to tying his school record.

Kicker Matt Maldonado knocked a 30-yard field goal through the uprights with 42 seconds to play in the third quarter following a 29-yard punt return by Dain Hudson.

The Warhawks’ defense held Carthage (0-1) without a score until the final two minutes of the contest.

Holte finished with three receptions for 94 yards and his touchdown, and wide receiver Derek Kumerow caught four passes for 83 yards, including a highlight-reel catch in good coverage down the left sideline early in the second half.

Running backs Ryan Ponick, Jaylon Edmonson and Preston Strasburg each ran for 25 yards or more.

UW-Whitewater visits No. 8 Salisbury (Md.) for a top-10 showdown next Saturday, Sept. 11, at 11 a.m. Central Time.
