From Coach Judy Harms:
Whitewater drops second game to Big Foot, 52-67. The Chiefs were too hot to handle tonight. Their shooting was on fire, and although the Whippets made a nice comeback, it wasn’t enough to overcome the early damage. The high point was the girls going 14 for 16 from the charity stripe. Whippets were led by Kacie Carollo 14, and Abby Grosinske 12.
Whitewater will finish the regular season this Friday at home against Clinton. We are promoting a “Pawsitive Pride” night, along with a recognition of our Sr. players on the team.
JV1 game was won by Big Foot. JV2 game was won by Whitewater.

From Coach Judy Harms:
Whitewater girls rebound with a 63-43 win over Brodhead after falling to Jefferson Tuesday. Game time moved to an earlier start in anticipation of beating the projected winter storm forecast. Whippets embraced the weather by bringing a storm of their own, led by Allison Heckert’s 16 points, Ali Ketterhagen’s 13, and Miranda Reynold’s 12. Kacie Carollo dished out 8 assists. Not only was it great to see the girls rebound, but we finally played well an entire game, something that has been haunting us all season. Thank you to Whitewater High School’s student council and food service for holding a fabulous chili event. It was a great success!
