Exciting High School Soccer Action in Wisconsin!

As the sun shined down on fields across Wisconsin, the high school soccer season is heating up with thrilling matchups and some controversies. Last week, the WIAA went into full swing, and fans were treated to some fantastic action among the state’s top programs.

No. 1 Brookfield East Competes Tough

In a nail-biting contest that got everyone talking, Brookfield East, the number one seed, faced off against Marquette and came away with a hard-fought 1-1 tie. Although the result isn’t what Brookfield had hoped for, it still reflects their tenacity and skill against a strong opponent. Interestingly, Marquette has had a rough road lately with four losses, three of them being outside of the state. This tie may mark a turning point as both teams gear up for more action.

Arrowhead Takes the Spotlight

Speaking of action, Arrowhead proved once again they are a force to be reckoned with, securing a 2-1 victory against Waukesha West. This match earned the Warhawks the title of Team of the Week, thanks to an electrifying game-winning goal by Brady Kilgora in the 77th minute. Arrowhead had quite the week, wrapping it up with an astounding 8-0 victory against Wisconsin Lutheran, where Kilgora scored a remarkable hat trick. With these wins, Arrowhead is now in sole possession of the Classic 8 Conference lead, and their next home games against Oconomowoc on September 24 and Watertown on September 25 are generating buzz!

Highly Anticipated Matches Ahead

Mark your calendars because some highly anticipated games are on the horizon! On September 25, Brookfield East will host Waukesha West, both teams having qualified for state accolades last year. Expect a thrilling showdown that promises excitement for fans from both sides. Just a day later, Marquette will host Saint Ignatius College Prep, who currently holds an impressive 8-2-1 record. With such competitive matchups, soccer enthusiasts are in for a treat!

Controversy Brewing in Jackson

While the excitement on the fields is undeniable, not all is well in the world of high school soccer. A situation at Living Word Lutheran High School in Jackson has caught the attention of many. A group of international students, who moved from Tanzania last year, were recently denied eligibility to play soccer by the WIAA. This decision has left the students feeling frustrated and disappointed as they face the sad reality of missing out on their final high school soccer season. Coach Oswald Bwechwa Jr. believes that this ruling impacts the students’ morale and identity. Having missed eight games already, the students are eager to take the field one last time in their high school careers, and Coach Bwechwa Jr. is seeking legal advice to address this pressing issue.

Washburn Girls Make History

Finally, let’s not forget the incredible journey of the Washburn girls’ soccer team, who made their very first state tournament appearance in history! Competing fiercely against Ozaukee/Random Lake, the game ended in a 1-1 tie after double overtime, leading to a nail-biting shootout. Despite their valiant effort, Ozaukee/Random Lake edged them out, winning 7-6 in the final shootout. It may not have been the fairy tale ending they had hoped for, but Washburn has undoubtedly left their mark this season.

So, as the nights start getting cooler and the soccer season heats up, it’s clear Wisconsin high school soccer is serving up excitement, drama, and a lot to cheer for. Stay tuned for more thrilling matchups and stories this season!
