When it comes to sports we all have our favorite player or coach. Bud Grant, Michael Jordan, Tom Brady, Bill Belichick are all known and revered in their own way. In some instances reporters and announcers become just as iconic. Howard Cosell, John Madden, and Joe Buck have all had broadcasts of glory and cringe […]

Players that have great talent in basketball rarely stay in college for very long. In some cases they don’t even go to college and head to the NBA straight from high school. The tri-states’s have produced a few NBA players over the years and now La Crosse Central’s own Johnny Davis headed there as well. […]

Fighting is a staple in the game of hockey. It is literally the only sport where they allow two players to just start decking each other until they stop it and don’t kick them out of the game. It’s kind of weird if you think about it. This type of action is not allowed at […]

Growing up in a small rural town most of us that played football had one simple instruction for getting in a good workout during the off-season: go toss hay bales. The act of catching them off the baler and stacking them on a wagon, throwing them from a big caged wagon and stacking them, or […]

The NFL was in full swing with games on Thanksgiving Day and then again on Sunday, and in some states there was high school football wrapping up their […]

In sports it is always the simple understanding: the team that scores the most points wins. Easy. After that there are certain unwritten rules in sport, especially in high school sports. These are rules of mutual respect given usually when a contest is out of reach by one team and the other team shows a […]

It’s a great time in the fall when tournament time comes around. For small towns a great tournament can really bring a town together rallying behind their favorite teams and athletes. Last year there was barely a season and there wasn’t any tournament games as most were canceled by Covid outbreaks in schools. This year […]

People are losing their minds over GAMES! High school games that teach kids a multitude of life skills as well as the sport itself. Why? No one really knows. Is it because of the “everyone deserves a participation ribbon” mentality or is it that people feel more emboldened by their “rights” to harass someone because […]
