La Moille High School students will either now go to Amboy, Hall or Mendota starting in late summer 2027. The district's seventh and eighth graders will then occupy the high school building. Current enrollment at La Moille High School is around 42 students.

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. That alone creates challenges, and last week the team got a tough test from a game Cuba City squad that comes out of the always-competitive SWAL. With the help of a huge multi-faceted performance from Christopher Kenesie, St. Joe’s won 28-21 in a game that was tied heading into the fourth quarter.

Hononegah faces defending champion Fenwick in playoffs

ROCKTON — Like they say, you can choose your friends, but you can’t choose your enemies and that sure applies to the football playoffs. Hononegah (9-1) just happened to draw the 6A defending state champion Fenwick Friars (7-3) for their second-round opponent. Kickoff at Kelsey Field on Saturday is at 1 p.m. “They’re a well-coached team and they are fundamentally sound in every facet of the game,” Hononegah head coach Brian Zimmerman said. “They play in a really tough, private Catholic school league. Their three losses all come to top-10 ranked teams.” So how do the Indians hand them their fourth defeat? “We are going to have to play one of our best games, obviously,” Zimmerman said. “We’re going to have to really limit our mistakes. We’re going to have to be methodical moving the ball. Every possession, we’re going to have to keep moving the sticks. We can’t turn the ball over like we did in the first half against Willowbrook.” The Indians led only 6-3 at halftime against the Warriors last Friday, but ended up winning 32-3 as whatever offensive missteps they experienced in the first half were ironed out during the break. Hononegah’s defense was also terrific.
