Connor DeLorme, Belleville, has been selected as an Honorable Mention on the 2018-2019 Wisconsin Soccer Coaches Association (WSCA) Stefans Soccer Boys Academic All-State Team.
Student athletes honored must have a 3.85 or higher cumulative GPA, four years of high school soccer experience and at least two years varsity experience, must achieve at least a 29 composite score on any single ACT test and a certification from their coach and athletic director that the player has exhibited exemplary sportsmanship. Class rank, if available also will be considered in the selection process.

As I read the page one article in this morning’s<i> Wisconsin State Journal</i>, “After 98 years, it’s farewell,” pertaining to the closing of the downtown MATC campus, I was reminded of a line from the Joan Baez song Diamonds and Rust, “yes we both know what memories can bring, they bring diamonds and rust.” And how true that line in the song has played out over half a century.

By 1:30 p.m. on Memorial Day, it had already been raining for several hours and it looked like the rain might start up again at any minute. So this year's ceremony was moved to the York Town Hall. About 15 hardy individuals congregated to honor our departed veterans.
