Boys basketball: One question for five of the area's teams

The boys basketball season is approaching, and with the ever-evolving nature of high school athletics, the teams around the area — some more than others — will look different. The season provides answers, so before it starts, here is one question for five area teams. Janesville Parker: How much will the Vikings’ experience pay off? Two seasons ago, the Vikings’ roster was sophomore-heavy and lacking upperclassmen. The Vikings won two games in 2024-25 and four games last season. Last year’s squad featured nine juniors, many of whom had big roles. Javonte Johnson led Parker in scoring with nearly 15 a night and secured a spot on the All-Big Eight second team. The 6-3 forward can get to his spot and rise up for mid-range jumpers. He also showed he can knock down the occasional 3-pointer. Keyondre Johnson, Tyrell Jordan and Henry Simmons, all seniors this year, averaged about eight points per game. Parker lost three seniors — Jayvion Hill averaged 25.9 minutes per game and Brady Reed averaged 15.9 — but the amount of seniors on this season’s team should help make up for lost production. While the Big Eight boast some tough squads that make it difficult to win

Is this the most popular history class at UW-Madison?

Growing up, my dad always had an array of classic songs he would play for my brother and I from when he was our age. But out of all the oldies, there is one song that has always been engraved in my memory: “(You Gotta) Fight For Your Right (To Party!)” by the Beastie Boys. My dad showed us the music video and we quickly became obsessed, making the song a part of our daily routine. As I got older, I rarely listened to the song, and it just as easily became a distant childhood memory.

WIAA Football preview: Lake Mills gearing up for Level 3 clash against Delavan-Darien

LAKE MILLS — L-Cat Stadium has seen its share of big football games since opening late in the 2019 season. None of those games have had the magnitude of Friday’s clash for a state semifinal spot. Lake Mills’ top-seeded football team hosts third-seeded Delavan-Darien in a WIAA Division 4 Level 3 game at 7 p.m., seeking the program’s first-ever Level 4 berth. The L-Cats have been to the state semifinals once, back in 1987 when the postseason was four weeks instead of the current five-week format. Lake Mills’ senior-heavy team, 14 in total, will play its eighth playoff game in the past three seasons. That includes a 19-14 setback to Racine St. Catherine’s in Level 3 in 2024, a game which dropped the L-Cats’ third-round playoff record to 0-4 dating back to 2016. The L-Cats dispatched eighth-seeded Edgerton 42-22 in Level 1, then beat fifth-seeded Evansville 42-7 en route to pushing their streak of scoring 40 or more points to seven games. As a No. 1 seed for the first time in program history, the L-Cats earn the right to host a Level 3 game for the first time and will do it on a field where they are 34-7

Football Sectional Final Preview: Division 6

Kenosha St. Joseph won a state title last year, but it came in Division 7, as the Lancers were elevated to D6 this year by the WIAA’s Tournament Performance Factor.
