Congratulations to the South Milwaukee football team!
The Rockets are headed to the WIAA playoffs after earning their first conference title in 32 years with a 21-16 win at New Berlin Eisenhower on Friday.
The victory gave South Milwaukee (5-3) a share of the Woodland Conference East crown with Brown Deer and Whitnall. Not bad for a team that started the season with two losses.
Check out the standings and stats. Here is the game story. From it:
Before the team boarded the bus, the school’s athletic director let everyone know that the division’s other co-leader lost as well.
As a result, South Milwaukee claimed a share of the division title with Whitnall and Brown Deer. The crown is the Rockets’ first since 1980, according to coach John Galewski.
“It’s big to me,” he said of the title. “We knew we had a young team coming into the season and they came on during the last five or six weeks.”
We should know South Milwaukee’s playoff matchup this weekend. I’ll keep you posted.
