The six-pack of Onalaska and Holmen qualifiers for next week's Wisconsin PGA State Open at the Eau Claire Country Club seem to fall into two groups. La Crosse Country Club pro Jim Kjellenberg of Onalaska and former Cedar Creek pro Mark Schneider of Holmen don't seem to be entering the tournament with grandiose goals after not having a bevy of playing opportunities this summer. But Country Club assistant pro and Holmen High School graduate Joe DeRosa, 2007 Holmen grad Keegan Drugan, 2003 Onalaska grad Mason Milner and 2004 OHS grad Jeff Kaiser all seem to be playing near the top of their respective games, meaning one or more could find their way into championship contention.

MERRILL -- Onalaska American Legion baseball coach Zeb Allert didn't think who would start on the mound in Tuesday's Class AA state championship game was much of a decision after Monday's 4-3 loss to Kaukauna.

But Gloyd won't have the opportunity to coach that team this fall, as Megan Swiggum will replace Gloyd at the helm of the program.

Ever since high school basketball changed its rules prior to the 1997-98 season preventing players from entering the lane on free throws until the ball hit the rim, offensive players on free throws have been at a greater advantage. That advantage seems to have finally swung back to the defense 11 years later, as high school will change to the free-throw alignment used at the college level for this winter's season.
