You just cannot ignore numbers like this: Wisconsin Lutheran’s football squad absolutely dismantled Slinger last Friday, September 25, racking up a mind-blowing 522 total rushing yards on 45 carries in a dominant 42-20 victory. Yeah, you read that right. Five hundred twenty-two! That’s the kind of performance that makes you wonder what’s even happening out there.
Wisco’s Ground Game Is Unstoppable, Volleyball’s New King
Out of those 45 carries, the dynamic duo of sophomore Dearies Gray and senior Deacon Vierck took 26 of them, combining for a staggering 424 yards and five of Wisco’s six touchdowns. Both guys were averaging 16 yards a pop or more, with Vierck hitting 16.6 yards per carry. Gray even ripped off an 89-yard touchdown run to make it 14-7 in a wild 21-point first quarter. This run game is no joke, and they’re showing everyone how it’s done.
Meanwhile, over in boys volleyball, Cole McCoy from Sussex Hamilton is making some serious noise. The Chargers, who were ranked No. 2 in the state, are probably going to jump to No. 1 after snagging the Middleton Invite crown this past weekend. They even battled through a tough 2-1 victory over Madison West in the tournament final. McCoy was an absolute beast, tallying 57 total kills across seven matches where Hamilton went 6-1 overall. He dropped a match-high 20 kills in one 18-25, 25-16, 15-11 win. That kind of hitting power is just insane.
Golfers Bringing Home Conference Gold
The links were busy too, with some fierce competition. On Thursday, September 24, Franklin girls golf saw senior Gabi Boisvert and sophomore Ava Daniels absolutely crush it, both shooting medalist scores of 82. Their combined team performance of 350 strokes secured the overall Southeast Conference team championship at Rivermoor Golf Club. They won the SEC team title by a ridiculous 31 strokes over The Prairie School. Talk about leaving no doubt!
Then you’ve got Kettle Moraine junior Reagan Cloninger, who finished second individually with a 77 at Broadlands on Wednesday, September 23. Her score helped Kettle Moraine narrowly beat Arrowhead, 336-338, to grab the Classic 8 Conference team championship. She was just one stroke shy of medalist honors, with teammate Grace Kim also landing in the top three with an 81. And let’s not forget Divine Savior Holy Angels. Seniors Zoe Gryniewicz and junior Addison Roesch were co-medalists at the Greater Metro Conference Championship, each posting 75s at Naga-Waukee War Memorial on Wednesday, September 23. Their 313 team stroke performance secured the conference title by 10 strokes over Brookfield Central, with DSHA owning three of the top five scores, including Julia Krueger’s 79. That’s some serious depth.
