Amherst football embraces challenge vs Darlington: 'We're not surprised'

AMHERST – Amherst has spent the 2026 season knocking off all challengers in its unbeaten campaign and building toward this moment. But to keep its undefeated run alive, the Falcons will have to solve a Darlington team that hasn't lost in 26 games and brings one of the state's most explosive offenses into Friday's Level 3 playoff matchup. The mission is complicatedly simple. “We've got to somehow slow them down. That's the biggest thing,” Amherst coach Mark Lusic said. “They have a very explosive offense. I mean, I don't think they've been challenged all year. I don't know, probably for the last two years to be honest with you. "We're going to have to slow down their option. That's the biggest thing. If you don't slow that down, it's going to be a long night. That means they can do anything they want. It's about 50% of their offense. So, try to slow that down, and then go from there." Lusic knows the Level 4 matchup between the Falcons and the Redbirds will be decided up front at the line of scrimmage. He expects a physical Redbird defensive line, and has preached their need to match it. “They want to

Vitriol against WIAA private schools just sour grapes: Dombeck

Since the beginning of time, or at least since private school association WISAA dissolved and the private schools joined the public school association WIAA at the turn of the century, there’s been a battle between public and private schools . This isn’t a Wisconsin thing either, wherever there’s public competing against private someone will say the private school has an unfair advantage. The discourse was cranked to 11 this past weekend when all five state girls volleyball champions happened to be private schools. All over social media I was seeing opponents of private schools up in arms while the defenders were also boisterous. Quite possibly the biggest complaints were the usual ones, the private schools can pull from a larger metro area and can, in essence, recruit whoever they want. It would be disingenuous to say recruiting doesn’t happen but what people fail to fully realize is with open enrollment, both public and private are guilty of the same behavior. Success breeds more success, be it Kimberly or Notre Dame. In my decade and a half experience, though, it doesn’t happen nearly as often as people assume. The WIAA has tried to solve what people believe is, in my opinion,
