As The Social nears opening day, pickleball courts begin construction

One of The Social's regional draws has broken ground in Oconomowoc, a key piece of the emerging entertainment complex that will open in early 2027. The Fortify Pickleball Club celebrated with a Nov. 10 ceremony at what was once the tennis courts within the Olympia Resort, a historic ski hill and hotel property that is being redeveloped into homes, businesses and the new entertainment complex. Fortify's Dennis Mueller did more than throw a scoop of dirt at the event. He also boosted a project that he believes benefits The Social as much as The Social benefits the club when it eventually plays out its plan on the facility's first floor – possibly as early as Feb. 15. As for The Social itself, a new target date of March 1, 2027, has been set, roughly four months later than its investors had hoped as plans advanced midway through 2026. Fortify officials see pickleball as a significant part of The Social The first thing that Dennis Mueller, co-founder of Fortify, wanted the Nov. 10 gathering to know is that pickleball is not centered on a senior crowd. "Contrary to public opinion, the largest growing demographic is 13 to 24 [year-old players]," Mueller

Blugold football runs into tough foe in No. 2 Whitewater

The UW-Whitewater football team is ranked second in the nation. And it was easy to see why Saturday at Carson Park. The tradition rich Warhawks turned in an impressive performance, downing UW-Eau Claire 42-7 before 5,794 fans on a crisp and sun splashed Saturday afternoon. Whitewater led 21-7 at the half and quickly extended its lead to three scores after turning an interception into a quick touchdown to start the third quarter. The Blugolds finished one of their best seasons in recent years with a 6-4 overall mark. "Our kids came out and fought," UWEC coach Rob Erickson said. "We came out and wanted to go 6-0 at home for our seniors. There was a lot to fight for, but Whitewater is a good team. They didn't make any mistakes. They kept the pressure on us. "We had two turnovers right away in the second half and it was tough to come back from that." Whitewater captured the WIAC title while outgaining UW-Eau Claire 435-209. The Warhawks are 10-0 overall and finished 7-0 in league play. UWEC won three conference games after going winless in the WIAC last year. The Blugolds were 5-1 at home this year. "I'm really proud

Norovirus closes Consolidated Elementary doors until at least Nov. 16

JANESVILLE — The Milton School District closed one of its elementary schools for the rest of the week because of a norovirus outbreak. Norovirus is more commonly known as the stomach flu. Late Wednesday, the district announced the closure of Consolidated Elementary because “more than 35%” of its student population had been sickened by norovirus. The District decided on this course of action after consultation with District Nurse Melissa Forrett and the Rock County Health Department. No other schools have been affected yet, according to the district. The district plans to open the school Monday. Superintendent Jeremy Bilhorn said that at the start of Wednesday, there were 30 students who were absent from the illness. Throughout the day, that number continued to climb as more students were sickened with the norovirus and were sent home. Bilhorn could not confirm the exact total at the end of the school day. “We noticed the numbers rose pretty high today,” Bilhorn said. The district will monitor reported absences at other schools and any ahead of Monday at Consolidated. “The idea is to take in account student safety, and best practice and guidance from our county health department,” Bilhorn said. Consolidated Elementary, the district’s

Girls basketball: Local teams pop up in Bound Wisconsin Preseason Top 10s

Bound Wisconsin officially released its Preseason Top 10 rankings and honorable mentions for all five divisions, and several area high schools were amongst those recognized by the outlet. Edgerton, Janesville Craig and Milton were each mentioned for their respective divisions. The Crimson Tide were the only team to actually crack the outlet’s top 10 with the Tiders coming in at No. 8 in the Division 3 rankings. Craig and Milton were both listed as honorable mentions in their preseason rankings for Division 1 and Division 2, respectively. Edgerton is a year removed from one of the best girls basketball seasons in school history in which the Crimson Tide won a total of 25 games and reached the WIAA Sectional Finals. While Edgerton lost the scoring production of Gracee Langer and Marti Rebman, the Tide bring back Claudia Jenny, Jolia Schlag and Brooke Kahl, setting the stage for the team to potentially run it back this winter. Tuesday, November 17 marks the season-opener for the Crimson Tide as Edgerton is set to play host to Fall River at 7:00 p.m. The Cougars are another team that has brought back a wealth of experience with Craig losing virtually zero production to graduation.

WIAA Football preview: Lake Mills tussles with West Salem for spot in state championship game

LAKE MILLS — If the L-Cats’ defense continues to make plays, there will be plenty of reasons to continue flashing the double thumbs-down sign. That sign, taken from the film Gladiator, has been a rallying cry for Lake Mills’ football team, which faces West Salem in a WIAA Division 4 Level 4 game on Friday at 7 p.m. at Stoughton High School for the right to play at Camp Randall Stadium in the state finals. “We’ve been doing the thumbs down gesture since week three against Lakeside,” senior wide receiver and linebacker Blake Bohlman said. “Coach Tyler Huber pulls up a movie clip every week and it’s kind of a theme we roll with. We watched the scene where a thumbs up and he lets them live and thumbs down, he finishes them. It’s a reminder to not get complacent.” Defensive end and tight end JP Brzowski, another one of the team’s 14 seniors, said the thumbs-down sign is about showing no mercy. “It’s been our mentality,” Brzowski said. “We never want to let them have any hope.” To reach their first-ever Level 4 game in the modern era — and second state semifinal in school history (1987) — the

Stomach ailments, some similar to norovirus close Milton elementary school, delay Parker High School musical

Hello, Rock County! Here are your top weekend headlines: Rock County Health Department and local public school officials say stomach ailments, some similar to norovirus, have sickened enough students that it's prompted a Milton elementary school to close this week and sidelined a high school musical at Parker High School. Police believe the call on the shooting on Friday was a case of swatting —a type of phony phone call people make in attempt to spark a police or SWAT-team response.

College football: No. 2 UW-Whitewater hopes to stick the landing on undefeated regular season this weekend at UW-Eau Claire

EAU CLAIRE — The UW-Whitewater football team has already put together a season to remember in 2026. The Warhawks (9-0, 6-0 WIAC) took down UW- Platteville last weekend on the road, leapfrogging the Pioneers in the rankings to be No. 2 in all of Division 3 football while also clinching a share of the 2026 WIAC regular season championship. This Saturday marks the final game of the 2026 regular season for UWW, and the Warhawks could check the box on numerous other accomplishments with a victory on the road at UW-Eau Claire (6-3, 3-3 WIAC). First and most notably, the Warhawks, with a win or a Platteville loss to UW-La Crosse, would capture the outright WIAC title. Additionally, UW-Whitewater would finish the regular season with an undefeated record with a win over the Blugolds. The last time either of those things happened for the Warhawks was in 2021. The Warhawks are also gunning for a top seed for the NCAA Division 3 playoffs, something that could help ensure home field advantage for UW-Whitewater up until the Stagg Bowl. While it’s easy to get wrapped up in the superlatives of a potential Warhawk victory on Saturday, UWW will still have to
