It's another North Shore Conference matchup Friday, September 18 for the Hartford Union High School football team (0-4). The Orioles host Waukesha West (1-3), a new member of the North Shore Conference this season. It's the Game of the Week on 104.9 WTKM.

A football-only conference realignment for this season was approved by the WIAA Board of Control. 

Hartford Union High School Dean of Students and Athletic and Activities Director Scott Helms discussed the adjustment with WTKM.

"The North Shore Conference this year has a different conference for football and football only. We added Menomonee Falls, Waukesha West and Wisconsin Lutheran. We lost both West Bend schools and Nicolet. The football schedule looks a little different with three new teams. We will see the regular realignment happen next year for all of the other sports."

The approved WIAA football alignment requires mandatory crossover games to ensure teams get a full slate for playoff qualification consideration.

"Some of the smaller schools felt like they didn't belong within the conference," according to Helms. "Or they couldn't support three programs, with football especially. We have seen that with other sports within our conference, especially softball and girls soccer."

The three programs, or three levels that Helms referred to include varsity, JV and JV2.

"We are able to do that, so we want to make sure we have teams to play. If not, we find non-conference games to give our student-athletes opportunities."

Kickoff at 7 p.m. on Friday, September 18 and streaming live at wtkmnews.com from Gib Mahr Field at Hartford Union High School.

United Way of Washington County's Emerging Leaders hosts its ninth annual golf outing on Wednesday, September 16 bringing together nearly 120 golfers and raising more than $58,000 to support local community initiatives and programs across Washington County.

“We couldn’t be more excited about this year’s response,” said Angela Hartwell, Emerging Leaders and golf outing co-chair in a press release. “Selling out early and surpassing last year’s golfer registration shows just how much support and enthusiasm there is for this event. We’re very appreciative of our golfers, sponsors and volunteers for making it such a success.”

Funds raised through the golf outing support United Way's broader mission as a community collaborator — convening local nonprofits, coordinating resources, and investing in local initiatives and programs that address Washington County's most pressing needs across health, youth opportunity and financial security.

The outing, held at the Washington County golf course, has become the Emerging Leaders signature fundraising event and a hallmark of the group’s dedication to leadership development, volunteerism and community investment.

“What started as a small idea nine years ago is now a demonstration of what’s possible when people come together,” said Sarah Stadler, United Way campaign co-chair in a press release. “Behind every dollar raised is a volunteer, sponsor or golfer who believes in what we’re building together.”

United Way partner agencies were on the course with hole activities and to raise awareness with the golfers about their programs.

“Every challenge facing Washington County is connected,” said Amanda Novotny, golf outing co-chair in a press release. “Having our nonprofit partners with us is a reminder that this event is about more than just golf; it’s about connecting people and coming together as a community.”

Major sponsors of the event included West Bend Insurance, Kettle Moraine YMCA, Turtle Creek Homes, Broan NuTone, Manitou Group, Concept 2 Solution, R&R Insurance and JP Cullen.

Since its founding, Emerging Leaders has given young professionals across Washington County hands-on opportunities to lead, serve, and grow, with many alumni going on to take on larger leadership roles within their workplaces and local nonprofits, including United Way.

The Hartford Union High School girls golf team broke their six-day old record with a 157, at University Club of Milwaukee. 

Hartford's Rita Kuepper led the way with a 35. Kendall Jennings set a personal best of 39, and Hadley Kuepper and Lily Oswald shot a 40 and 43, respectfully.

Alexis Rolsma and Hailey Gatzow finished with 48s.

The Orioles move into the final conference meet tied with Homestead.

Washington County Golf Course celebrated the grand opening of its new clubhouse addition marking the launch of a state-of-the-art multi-purpose space featuring indoor golf simulators, expanding the course’s offerings into a year-round, comprehensive golfing facility. The new multi-purpose space opens to breathtaking views of the iconic Holy Hill rising above the rolling Kettle Moraine landscape, an area cherished by golfers for its contours and the natural beauty.

“This is such an exciting way to enter the next quarter century at our Washington County Golf Course,” said County Executive Josh Schoemann. “The course is a true gem for the people of Washington County and one of the things that contributes to our authentic quality of life.”

Known for its top-ranked municipal course, practice facility, and short course, the addition of indoor golf simulators ensures that local golfers and visitors can train, practice, and play regardless of the season. The facility addition was funded through a combination of golf course funds, debt fully supported by golf revenues, community donor contributions, and the inaugural grant from the Washington County Golf, Parks and Trails Endowment Fund. To maintain long-term excellence, the facility operates under a fully funded maintenance plan.

The project was designed by Plunkett Raysich Architects, LLP; engineered by MSA Professional Services, Inc.; and constructed by Elite Builds in the greater Milwaukee, Wisconsin area. PRA designed the new two level 5,392 total square foot addition to the clubhouse. The addition provides two new state of the art indoor gulf simulators, a viewing area, a new multi-purpose room, an expanded clubhouse, a dedicated equipment repair room, and other areas to support the enlarged building.
