BROOKFIELD — Emily Johnson was as curious as everybody else whether she had gotten just enough of a two-strike offering as she watched the ball sail toward center field Thursday afternoon. If she got just enough, the Cedarburg junior would have sent the Bulldogs to the WIAA Division 1 state softball tournament for the second season in a row and fourth time in five years.

CEDARBURG — It was not required to be a thing of beauty Thursday, but the bottom line was win and advance and that is precisely what the Cedarburg fastpitch softball team did with a 13-2 triumph over DSHA at Wilterdink Field in a WIAA Div. 1 regional championship game. Claiming a regional title plaque is not something that Cedarburg co-head coach Jeff Langkamp takes lightly even though the Bulldogs have collected plenty of trophies in recent seasons. "We don’t take these for granted," he said.
Senior Night win

MEQUON — Baseball has a remarkable tendency to be a punitive game. Teams are frequently penalized for failing to take advantage of opportunities in the early innings and that tends to come back to haunt clubs in the later frames. That was the case Tuesday for Kettle Moraine Lutheran. The Chargers stranded eight runners over a three-inning stretch and went on to suffer a 2-1 loss to Homestead in a nonconference contest at Rennicke Field.
Running at home, at last

GRAFTON — Grafton had a chance to compete at home Tuesday during a WIAA Div. 2 track and field regional meet, which represented an opportunity for the team to make up for when a storm blew through town right before the scheduled start of the recent Black Hawk Invitational, which postponed the annual event. "We got to compete at home. The kids loved to compete at home and missing out on that Black Hawk was kind of a bummer," Grafton head coach Jason Meinen said.

It seems like just the other day that one of the most prestigious tournaments in professional sports made its way to the region as nearby Erin Hills became the center of the golf universe. That event was the U.S. Open, and it is hard to believe that was all the way back in 2017. Another of the grand championships in the sport is set to take over Erin Hills this week. The U.S. Women’s Open will tee off on Thursday and continue through Sunday.

MEQUON — It may not have been exactly the lineup Homestead planned to use, but it worked out well for the Highlanders in a 5-2 victory Thursday over Cedarburg in a North Shore Conference boys tennis meet. "We were missing some players, which made us a little nervous," Homestead head coach Jackie Mueller Egelhoff said.
