Marshall, Waterloo wrestling update
As the calendar flips from 2023 to 2024, the wrestling programs at Marshall and Waterloo are starting to take form. Injuries and shuffling of appropriate weight classes hampered production for both squads early on in the campaign. In recent weeks, though, both have shown steps toward improvement. This comes just in time, too, as Capitol Conference season is set to kick off soon. Most recently, Marshall took on the Rocket Scramble at Cedar Grove-Belgium High School on Saturday, Jan. 6. Short a few participants, only...

Marshall's comeback falls just short against Lodi
The Marshall boys basketball team built strong momentum in the month of December. Against entirely non-conference opponents and for the most part without star junior guard Kenyon Miggins, the Cardinals at one point won five straight games in the midst of a 6-4 start. This strong start nearly evaporated right before the start of Capitol - South conference play. That five-game winning streak had come to an end at the hands of Beloit Turner, 59-53, on Thursday, Dec. 28 at the Dodgeville Dodger Classic. Things...

Waterloo girls win back-to-back to kick losing streak
Explaining the early portion of the Waterloo girls basketball season takes some nuance. Sure, a 3-6 record heading into last week doesn't look great on paper, but the Pirates had their work cut out for them with a brutal schedule. Waterloo endured a pair of three-game losing streaks to quality teams. The first came to a trio of Capitol - North conference opponents, Poynette, Lodi, and Columbus. The Pirates broke that streak with a road win over Horicon. Next was another tough stretch with Jefferson,...

Benny Marshall commits to UW-Platteville
The Waterloo football program has enjoyed a resurgence in the past three seasons. The Pirates have gone a combined 23-9 since 2021 with a trio of WIAA playoff appearances and one win in the postseason. A major element of the program’s success has been senior Benny Marshall. Marshall has done it all for the Pirates since stepping on the varsity field as a sophomore in the fall of 2021. He dominated multiple facets of the game, from traditional positions like safety and wide receiver as...

Pirates put scare into successive Capitol - North squads
Success is relative for the Waterloo boys basketball program. The Pirates entered this season with just six wins in the past two seasons combined. Still, things seem to be on a course correction as they’ve won two of their first eight games in this new 2023-24 season. Ironically, Waterloo’s progress may be best measured by its two most recent losses rather than its wins. In the Pirates’ final week of competition in the month of December, they took a pair of trips to Capitol —...

Seven talented programs, including Cuba City, Delavan-Darien, Lakeside Lutheran, Middleton, Oak Creek, Sun Prairie East, and Waukesha West were in attendance.
