College football: Game of the year contender looms between No. 4 UW-Whitewater and No. 2 UW-Platteville

PLATTEVILLE — It doesn’t get much bigger than this Saturday’s WIAC clash between UW-Whitewater and UW-Platteville. The Warhawks enter the weekend with an unblemished record (8-0, 5-0 WIAC) and the No. 4 overall ranking in the country. The Pioneers also come into the contest with a perfect record (8-0, 5-0 WIAC) while holding the No. 2 ranking in the nation. Come Saturday, one of these two teams will have their first ‘L’ of the season, courtesy of the other. The 33rd annual George Chryst Memorial Bowl, also known as the Battle for the Miner’s Axe, will take place this Saturday, November 7 at 1:00 p.m. at Pioneer Stadium. And it’s hard not to look at the contest as a potential Stagg Bowl preview. Two of the nation’s top teams duking it out, more than likely for the WIAC regular season title. Playoff implications and seeding hanging in the balance. And of course, bragging rights. The all-time series between the two teams has been a little one sided with UW-Whitwater having won 28 of the previous 32 meetings, but UW-Platteville has surged as of late to make the rivalry series much more competitive in recent years. The past five meetings between

WIAA Football: L-Cats earn historic first Level 4 spot by downing Delavan-Darien, 35-7

LAKE MILLS — Lake Mills head coach Tyler Huber called his seniors forward from a line of gleeful players. After receiving the sectional championship plaque from athletic director Justin Annen, Huber immediately passed it on to the star-studded class of 2027, which erupted in celebration and soon got mobbed by the student section and their fellow teammates. Finally, after so much recent playoff heartbreak, Lake Mills is Level-4 bound for the first time ever. Senior quarterback Tyler Wollin threw five touchdowns as the top-seeded Lake Mills football team knocked off third-seeded Delavan-Darien 35-7 in a WIAA Division 4 Level 3 game on Friday at L-Cat Stadium. The L-Cats extended their win streak to 11 games, which ties the 1987 team for the longest streak in program history. This current bunch joins that '87 team as Lake Mills squads to reach the state semifinal round. The '87 team did it when the playoffs lasted four weeks. Lake Mills bumps its record to 11-0 in playoff games at L-Cat Stadium, which opened just in time for the 2019 postseason. The L-Cats improve to 1-4 in Level 3 games dating back to 2016. Wollin, in his 10th playoff start, went 10-of-18 passing for
