Hononegah falls to Fenwick in IHSA football playoffs

ROCKTON — Short of winning a state championship game, Brian Zimmerman knew his final football game as head coach at Hononegah was going to be a loss. He just hoped he and his Indians could put that off for a while longer. Unfortunately, playing defending IHSA 6A champion Fenwick (8-3) provided a huge obstacle. The Friars dominated throughout Saturday’s game at Kelsey Field, dispatching the 9-2 Indians 38-13. “Right now, it just feels like any other end of the season loss …heartbreaking,” said Zimmerman. “I’m certain I’ll reflect in upcoming days and weeks, but I am getting out on my own terms and I’m going to enjoy some time with my family and friends. It’s been a great career. Football has been a lifelong passion of mine ever since I played here at Hononegah. So I’m going out and I’m going out at a good time.” The Indians finished second in the NIC-10 and won their playoff opener with a lineup that featured a strong senior class, but also a large number of players who will return. “The program is in a good place,” Zimmerman said. “We’ve got lower levels that are doing really well and we’ve got a great

Sparked by Boylan's pair of all-staters, and some other strong performances up and down the lineup, Rockford-area runners stormed in and out of Peoria for the IHSA boys and girls state cross country meets on Saturday, taking advantage of the perfect conditions to run strong races. Boylan's Nora Wedwick placed fifth with a time of 17:17.5 in the 3.0-mile Class 2A girls state finals showdown at Detweiller Park, which was the top finish out of all of the Rockford-area state qualifiers. Gabby Kohnle came in 22nd in 17:57.2 as Boylan finished with two all-staters for the first time in program history. More Rockford-area sports: Fenwick stuns Hononegah in Brian Zimmerman's final game as head coach "This was a pretty good way to finish off this season, for sure," Boylan head coach Nate Kohnle said. "Nora ran exceptionally well, and she even led the race for a mile or so. "And for both her and Gabby to get all-state, that says a lot." Their Titans' teammate Elle Sosnowski wound up in 46th place in the 2A girls race, and Winnebago's Ella Carlson placed 28th in 18:04.8 down in 1A, helping Winnebago place sixth as a team in the final 1A girls

Stockton took control and turned a close football playoff game into blowout real fast on Saturday, Nov. 7. And two other Rockford-area teams, Byron and Rochelle, followed suit in other classes as well. More Rockford-area football: Harlem is only NIC-10 football team to win on busy playoff Friday Harlem made it into the 6A state quarters with a win on Friday night, and then three more from the area joined the Huskies on Saturday. Stockton eliminated local rival Forreston, 36-16, on Nov. 7 to advance in 1A, one week after sending another NUIC rival, Lena-Winslow, home for the offseason. "We don't care who it is," Stockton head coach Sean Downey said Saturday, shortly after his teams' 36-16 victory. "This team just goes out there and plays. And they keep playing better and better." Stockton (10-1) has now won 10 in a row after dropping its opener to El Paso-Gridley, which is undefeated and still alive in the 2A playoffs. And now it gets yet another NUIC foe, Fulton, which upended Sterling Newman 28-24 on Saturday, and will host Stockton in the 1A quarterfinals next Saturday, Nov. 14.

First-generation college students - or students who are the first in their families to attend college - make up more than one-third of the undergraduate population at UW-Whitewater. Nearly two-thirds of students on the Rock County campus alone are first-generation. UW-Whitewater is proud to participate in the annual First-Generation College Celebration, a national effort led by First-Gen Forward. Held on Nov. 8, FGCC Day champions first-gen students' contributions to their communities and connects them to the resources they need for success. As part of the initiative, the university held a celebration on Nov. 5, at the University Center, the Whitewater campus's student union. A pop-up exhibit featuring photo portraits of first-generation Warhawk students, faculty, and staff is currently on display at Roberta's Art Gallery, and students at both campuses are enjoying free giveaways all week.
