Edgerton and Evansville combined for 12 All-Rock Valley Conference players. The Crimson Tide compiled a 7-0 record in conference play en route to a first-place finish while the Blue Devils went 3-2-1. Edgerton sophomore midfielder Connor Skarda is the conference player of the year while Edgerton coach Dean Wanless is the co-coach of the year. East Troy coach David Welsch is the other co-coach. Skarda is one of several Crimson Tide players to land on the first team. The sophomore made an impact on the Crimson Tide last year, securing a first-team nod as a freshman. Wanless has been coaching for 14 years and won coach of the year for the first time. “First team again as a sophomore and conference player of the year. The kid is special,” Wanless said. “The way he sees the field. The way he plays with his heart. The way he can win back and position his body. He just does all the little things incredibly well, and it sets him apart from anybody that I see on the field.” Junior forward Jose Diaz Flores, senior midfielder Johnathan Gonzalez, senior defender Drake Springstead, senior goalie Guillermo Diaz, sophomore defender Jayden Diaz and junior utility

Sam Houston fires former Wisconsin Badgers offensive coordinator

After falling to 1-7 (0-4), Sam Houston knew they had to move on from Phil Longo. The former Wisconsin Badgers offensive coordinator was let go on Wednesday, Oct. 28 , after the Bearkats suffered a Tuesday night loss to Missouri State, 24-3. Longo was with UW from 2023-24, and even though he may not have had the most successful tenure with the Badgers , it was good enough for Sam Houston to give him a shot to be their head coach . After a year and a half, they fired him, and his 3-17 overall record. Sam Houston went just 1-11 in Conference USA play under Longo. Sam Houston has four games remaining this season, but had 10 full days between the Missouri State and Jacksonville State games, so this felt like an appropriate time to make a move. Longo officially falls to 10-31 as a college football head coach, and it's safe to say that the 58-year-old's return not only to head coaching but also to the Bearkats did not go according to plan. Sam Houston went 12-1 in Longo's final year as an assistant in 2016. For reference, they've won just 12 regular-season games combined since Nov. 29,
