Central soccer loses
It wasn’t easy for the Westosha Central boys soccer team going up against a foe that’s ranked in the top 10 in the state.

Delavan-Darien, the fourth-ranked squad in Division 3 in the latest Wissports.net coaches poll, dismantled the host Falcons in a 9-2 win.

Emmett Marckese scored both of Westosha Central’s goals in the second half. His first goal was unassisted in the 76th minute, and Connor Carlson assisted on the second goal in the 79th minute.

“We know Delavan is always a tough game and they are a quality team,” Westosha Central coach Jon Kao said. “Add in our injuries and we were going to be at a serious disadvantage. We weren’t able to keep up with their size and speed up top and they took advantage of that.”

Westosha golfers fall
When the other team has one of the best golfers in the conference as Lake Geneva Badger does, it’s a big advantage.

The Falcons lost their dual match to the Badgers, 187-212, on Sept. 10,at Geneva National.

Holly Murphy needed 41 strokes to win the nine-hole round for Badger. She led the team of five golfers who all shot no higher than 50.

Elle O’Reilly led Westosha Central with a 47. She birdied the second hole and made par on the sixth.

Abby Luellen also made par on the sixth and finished with a 54. Carly Lois was one shot behind (55). Taya Witt (56) and Jalyn Warren (57) rounded out the top five in team scoring.
