Conference girls golf 18-hole finale on Wednesday Guiser’s individual championship put the final touches on the Warhawks’ wire-to-wire run to the conference team title a dose of redemption that was welcome after Arrowhead lost the championship by one point last season to Oconomowoc "This was a big goal for us," Warhawks coach Ryan Andrews said "especially given the way we just missed out last season it was a bit gut-wrenching for Andrews in the playoff He shuttled Guiser and Lang back and forth from the green to the tee on multiple occasions at the par 3 120-yard 18th hole at Broadlands in North Prairie that was used for their playoff because both were eminently qualified to claim the individual title Lang claimed medalist honors in the 18-hole final with a 76 That left the pair tied with identical season-long league nine-hole scoring averages of 39.25 forcing the playoff for season medalist honors and a nice little trophy Andrews quipped to the interested gathering crowd on the knoll above the 18th green The duo both parred the hole on the first three go-arounds with Lang sinking a nervy eight-foot comebacker to match Guiser on the first try Guiser dropped an excellent tee shot just 12 feet short of the hole on the low side Lang then hit a nice chip that settled 5 feet below the hole but that left Guiser with an opportunity to win if she could sink her birdie putt She calmly did so before the approving impromptu gallery of players The pair then hugged for a time before making their way back to the Broadlands deck for the awards ceremony and a fish fry lunch “It was a big relief when it finally went in,” said Guiser the younger sister of three-time Wisconsin Junior PGA champion 2020 WIAA state individual champion and current University of Florida player Jessica Guiser and we were both pretty happy with the outcome because we knew one of us was going to win Everyone on this team is just an amazing golfer and this playoff showed that.” “It was tough to see them competing against one another,” he said because these girls all root for each other so much it was best to lose to one of your teammates.” Lang and Allison Guiser’s excellent efforts led second-ranked Arrowhead to a spectacular 18-hole score of 320 at the Broadlands as the Warhawks capped off their overall Classic 8 season title with a 17-stroke victory while Kettle Moraine was third with a 346 and Oconomowoc fourth with 350 SIGN UP Mukwonago sixth and meet host Catholic Memorial seventh Arrowhead got strong support at the 18-hole finale from freshman Addison Johannes while senior Alexa Reed tied for eighth with an 84 and Landry Nelson tied for 10th with an 85 Muskego was led at the Broadlands by Keira McAlister the first-year coach of the 10th-ranked Warriors thought it was a sound but emotional day for the senior-laden squad an emotional day for our seniors,” she said I had worked with the JV kids for the last few years so it was really cool getting to know these kids this season.” The deep Classic 8 field did exceptionally well as a group on the sunny and warm day at the Broadlands Other top 10 individual finishers at the Broadlands included Waukesha co-op’s Reagan Piacsek and Mukwonago’s Elizabeth Vanderhei (81 apiece) Catholic Memorial’s Sydney Koetterhagen and Muskego’s Martina Hudaj Earning first-team all-Classic 8 efforts for their season-long showings were Guiser Among those earning second-team honors were Muskego’s Ari Lietzow Honorable mention selections included Koetterhagen Maria Jorgensen and Laci Griswold of Oconomowoc And even as it was the youth of Arrowhead that led the way this day meet host and Catholic Memorial coach Steve Plechaty wanted to honor the 23 seniors who took part in their final conference competition Andrews said getting back is another major goal The Warhawks qualified for state 18 straight years between 2003 and 2020 but have missed two of the last three championship events “It’s been a great group of girls,” Andrews said “They’re trying their best for each other.” Aubrey Westerman of Oconomowoc chips her ball onto the green at the third hole during the Classic 8 Conference Championships at Broadlands Golf Club last Wednesday Guiser’s individual championship put the final touches on the Warhawks’ wire-towire run to the conference team title "This was a big goal for us," Warhawk coach Ryan Andrews said as he shuttled Guiser and Lang back-and-forth from the green to the tee on multiple occasions at the par 3 120yard 18th hole at the Broadlands in North Prairie that was used for their playoff Guiser dropped an excellent tee shot just 12-feet short of the hole on the low side Lang then hit a nice chip that settled five feet below the hole "It was a big relief when it finally went in," said Guiser “Finishing in third place for conference this season achieves our goals of being in the top 3,” Oconomowoc coach Jason Dahl said “I think what was positive to see for our group is that when we put it all together “Continuing to have confidence in our games and ourselves will be the important part as we begin regionals.” SIGN UP Madison Calteux, the first-year coach of the 10th-ranked Warriors, thought it was a sound but emotional day for the senior-laden squad. “It was a good day, an emotional day for our seniors,” she said. “For me, too. I had worked with the JV kids for the last few years so it was really cool getting to know these kids this season.” The deep Classic 8 field did exceptionally well as a group on the sunny and warm day at the Broadlands, with 22 players breaking 90 for 18 holes. Other top 10 individual finishers at the Broadlands included Waukesha co-op’s Reagan Piacsek and Mukwonago’s Elizabeth Vanderhei (81 apiece), Oconomowoc’s Aubrey Westerman (82), Kettle Moraine’s Reagan Cloninger (84), and Waukesha’s Viviana Hruby, Catholic Memorial’s Sydney Koetterhagen and Muskego’s Martina Hudaj, all with 85s. Earning first-team all-Classic 8 efforts for their season-long showings were Guiser, Lang, Westerman, Piacsek, Reed and Vanderhei. “Aubrey caps off a great senior season in the Classic 8 Conference,” Dahl said. “She was in the running for player of the year and has had several excellent finishes in major tournaments — eighth at Franklin Invite, sixth at Waukesha County Championship and seventh at the conference championship,” Dahl said. “She has put a lot of work into her game and it has really paid off, but she’s not done yet.” Among those earning second-team honors were Muskego’s Ari Lietzow, McAlister, Ella Gibson, and Hudaj and Arrowhead’s Johannes. Honorable mention selections included Koetterhagen, Avery Sallmann of Kettle Moraine, Ella Chitwood of Mukwonago, Clare Sperka of Muskego, Maria Jorgensen and Laci Griswold of Oconomowoc, and Ashley Gilroy and Nelson of Arrowhead. “For Maria and Laci, earning third team is a great achievement and shows the gains from their sophomore season,” Dahl said. “Maria had a solid front nine of 42 and Laci had a wonderful 41 on the back nine.” Senior Emerson Ihde posted a 94, but bounced back nicely with a 43 on the back nine. Senior Hayden Weber shot a personal-best score of 92, while junior Reese O’Driscoll continued to show improvement after some swing adjustments to also card a 92. “This team has the ability to make it to sectionals and challenge Brookfield Central and Muskego for a potential State tournament appearance,” Dahl said. “It all comes down to confidence and execution. I know these girls are working hard to make it a reality.” WIAA tournament competition will now begin next week with regional action at various sites with qualifiers advancing to sectional play the week after. The WIAA state meet will be held Oct. 14 and 15 at University Ridge in Madison. Oconomowoc was ninth at state last season, while Arrowhead failed to qualify. Andrews said getting back is another major goal. The Warhawks qualified for state 18 straight years between 2003 and 2020, but have missed two of the last three championship events. “It’s been a great group of girls,” Andrews said. “They’re trying their best for each other.” 10 things to know this week from the WOW counties (Waukesha, Ozaukee and Washington) sent on Sundays Get the latest Oconomowoc and Lake Country news delivered each week.

and our priority is to ensure the best possible outcomes for all residents, regardless of where they live. South Norfolk Council has voted to support a two-unitary council model: one serving Norwich and East Norfolk including Great Yarmouth, and the other encompassing West Norfolk. This structure, driven by the government's criteria of improved public service delivery, offers the optimal balance between cost-effectiveness and preserving local identities. By aligning with economic geographies, we can unlock the potential of Greater Norwich and Great Yarmouth, while ensuring rural communities remain connected to vital services. This model achieves the government's population requirement, avoids disruptive boundary changes, and allows for rapid, cost-effective implementation without disrupting existing communities." “There’s a lot of great work happening in our communities to help protect the environment and our recycle events provide local residents with the opportunity to clear out their cupboards and get rid of things they no longer want or use “These events serve as a great opportunity for the community to work together to make a real difference to the future of Broadland.” Items that can be accepted at the collection point include any small appliance which uses a plug or batteries Residents can also bring along their old textiles for recycling such as unwanted clothes Please note that the Council is unable to accept pillows The collection point is located in the car park at Brundall Memorial Hall The Council is unable to accept commercial waste or larger appliances such as fridges freezers or washing machines at this event Find out more about what can be accepted.
