Two area schools awarded conservation grants School in Round Lake.

While the grant helps grades 9-12 at the Gages Lake school, the Round Lake school plans to assist students in grades 1-7, but they both have the same proposed project, a pollinator garden.

“The Illinois Schoolyard Habitat Action Grant program provides children and educators with an opportunity to develop wildlife habitat and increase the use of native plants in Illinois landscapes,” IDNR Director Wayne Rosenthal said.

“By participating in these projects, students learn

that their efforts can make a difference in the world, and they gain experience in problem-based learning by planning, developing and maintaining the habitat.”

The Illinois Schoolyard Habitat Action Grant program supports the development or enhancement of wildlife habitat on the school grounds or other public places.

Funding for the program is provided through donations to the ICF. The Jadel Youth Fund and the Daniel F. and Ada L. Rice Foundation are the

“We want school children to learn about nature through hands-on experiences,” Rosenthal added. “It

is our goal to have Illinois Schoolyard Habitat Action Grant program projects developed in every county of the state, and eventually at every school. So far, we have supported projects in 84 of Illinois’ counties.”

Tractor Supply comes to town

By Gail Peckler-Dziki CORRESPONDENT

Burlington Tractor Supply Company is expanding south of the border and has purchased 3.71 acres of the Antioch Tax Incremental Fund (TIF) District for $429,900.

The Antioch Village Board approved the developer’s agreement for the project at the Jan. 8 regular board meeting.

The Antioch Planning and Zoning Commission reviewed and approved the site plan at the Jan. 16 meeting and recommended approval to the village board.

The Tractor Supply parcel is located at the northeast corner of Grimm Road and Route 83.

The establishment is a retail chain of stores that offers

products for home improvement, agriculture, lawn and garden maintenance, and livestock, equine and pet care. It is a leading U.S. retailer in its market and headquartered in Brentwood, Tenn.

The Village of Antioch purchased the 50-acre Boylan site as the Redevelopment Project Area for $1 million, or $20,000 an acre.

TSC plans to build a 19,000-square-foot building on the site.

Community Development Director Michael Garrigan said this site in Antioch is a good fit for the store.

“We have some rural areas with farmettes. People near Antioch have horses. This is a good market for this retail establishment,” Garrigan said.

Garrigan said that he is in contact with several other businesses that are considering a move to the TIF district.

“While we can offer some incentives such as infrastructure and tax incentives in the TIF district,” he said. “We can’t give any assistance toward the actual building of the structures.”

The realignment and rebuilding of Grimm Road is part of the redevelopment plan.

“Since the property was annexed into the Village of Antioch the entire road is under village jurisdiction,” Garrigan said.

Currently, Grimm Road is in poor repair and the intersection of Grimm Road and Route 83 is considered dangerous.

Police departments throughout northern Illinois donate to the Lake County Opioid program The Lake County Opioid Initiative has received monetary donations totaling $52,500 from 11 of the “A Way Out” participating police departments on Thursday, Dec. 21, 2017. The funds will assist in sustaining the “A Way Out” program. In addition, part of the funds will also be allocated to fund a ‘coordinator’ position in order to manage the program moving forward and as it continues its growth.

As police continue to see a rise in overdose deaths in Lake County, they collaborated to pledge funds from drug asset seizure accounts.

The police departments’ contributions varied in amounts ranging from $1,000 to

$7,500. The donations were received from the following police departments: • Deerfield Police Department • Fox Lake Police Department • Grayslake Police Department • Gurnee Police Department • Lake County Sheriff’s Office • Lake Forest Police Department • Libertyville Police Department • Mundelein Police Department • Round Lake Beach Police Department • Round Lake Park Police Department • Zion Police Department

“Since we began the ‘A Way Out’ program it became very clear that our successes are a product of the cooperation and collaboration that exists among all of the program partners,” said Chief Eric Guenther of the Mundelein Police Department.

“A Way Out” is a Lake County Law Enforcement Assisted Diversion program designed to fast-track users to substance abuse programs and services. This program is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week at participating police departments across Lake County and ensures no criminal charges will be sought for those that may be in possession of narcotics or

Road rules

Illinois Secretary of State Speaker’s Bureau instructor Steve Prostram discusses the rules of the road with senior citizens at the Antioch Township offices, 1625 Deep Lake Road, on Jan. 19. The event was a part of the Mobile Driver Services Facility program put on by the Secretary of State’s office. Seniors who attended were brought up to speed on topics such as license renewal and testing requirements and costs as well as having any of their questions answered. Other state employees also were available to do on-site vision screening, driver’s license renewal, replacement and corrections, vehicle sticker sales and enrollment in the organ and tissue donor program.

Police departments throughout northern Illinois donate to the Lake County Opioid program The Lake County Opioid Initiative has received monetary donations totaling $52,500 from 11 of the “A Way Out” participating police departments on Thursday, Dec. 21, 2017. The funds will assist in sustaining the “A Way Out” program. In addition, part of the funds will also be allocated to fund a ‘coordinator’ position in order to manage the program moving forward and as it continues its growth.

As police continue to see a rise in overdose deaths in Lake County, they collaborated to pledge funds from drug asset seizure accounts.

The police departments’ contributions varied in amounts ranging from $1,000 to

$7,500. The donations were received from the following police departments: • Deerfield Police Department • Fox Lake Police Department • Grayslake Police Department • Gurnee Police Department • Lake County Sheriff’s Office • Lake Forest Police Department • Libertyville Police Department • Mundelein Police Department • Round Lake Beach Police Department • Round Lake Park Police Department • Zion Police Department

“Since we began the ‘A Way Out’ program it became very clear that our successes are a product of the cooperation and collaboration that exists among all of the program partners,” said Chief Eric Guenther of the Mundelein Police Department.

“A Way Out” is a Lake County Law Enforcement Assisted Diversion program designed to fast-track users to substance abuse programs and services. This program is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week at participating police departments across Lake County and ensures no criminal charges will be sought for those that may be in possession of narcotics or

Slices of life

Reflections of a football aficionado Football is a big deal at my house. I live with a bunch of guys who love the game. My daughter married a guy who loves the game.

It only makes sense I’d be pulled into the gridiron mix.

As such, I’ve contemplated certain intricacies about the game. Not the rules or playing strategies or scoring methods, but the really important stuff. For instance: why is it called football?

The ball doesn’t look anything like a foot. Maybe a large, rounded pointy toe – if your creativity allows you such a transmutation, but certainly not a whole foot.

The technical name for a football’s shape (I did the Google) is a prolate spheroid, which is the shape of a

By

JILL PERTLER Columnist

pig’s bladder, which is what the first footballs were made from. That’s why they call it a pigskin. (No pigs were harmed or injured during this NFL season. Now the balls are made of leather.)

The game itself involves mostly throwing, catching and carrying the ball – in one’s hands. Except for the kicker, no one uses his feet for anything other than running and that’s hardly a reason to name an entire game

after the foot.

The playing field is measured in yards, and a yard is technically three feet, but you never hear the announcer say third down and 12 feet to go. They’d say third and four – as in yards.

In other countries, our American soccer is called football, which makes more sense because soccer (or football depending on where you live) predominately involves kicking the ball – with one’s feet.

There’s probably not a logical explanation for the name. Some things you just have to take at face value.

Football is football – unless, of course, it is soccer.

To some, the misnomered sport becomes bigger than

just a game. And not just for the guys I live with. It mimics life. The parallels are practically endless.

In life – and football – sometimes you are on the offense, sometimes on defense. You have to be competent in both and know which one to play and when.

In both, success is most often a result of teamwork.

There is no “I” in football.

I can’t say the same for life so I guess my clever analogy stops there.

Players and people spend quality and quantity time trying to reach goals or goal posts all in search of the big “W” because winning is the objective of football, life and just about anything else worth playing.

Football and life are serious business, not to be taken lightly. But a little levity along the way often enhances the heavier moments. At least it makes them more bearable. This is exactly why the coffee break and timeout commercials were invented. Dilly dilly.

We all have to tackle life’s obstacles and try to run with an idea whenever we perceive a gap in the defense. An occasional fumble is inevitable for just about everyone. You don’t want to go off sides or leave anything incomplete. Sometimes we have no alternative but to dive head first into a pile of formidable opponents to push forward past the goal line to win the prize.

I haven’t always been a football aficionado, nor did I recognize the many relevant and significant ways the game impacts my life. It started a few years ago with a friendly family fantasy football competition. The first two years I came in dead last. This year I won.

I guess some of my wellhoned football knowledge is useful after all. That’s a touchdown by any stretch of the pigskin.

Man gets 25 years for killing brother-in-law Son of former sheriff known as kind, gentle caretaker

By Vicky Wedig

man,” she said.

STAFF WRITER

Alan Johnson’s mother hung her head and sobbed Friday as a judge sentenced her son to 25 years in prison for killing his brother-in-law in Whitewater in 2016.

On the opposite side of the courtroom sat her daughter Kimberly Myskewicz, who pleaded for the maximum sentence for her brother – he faced up to 65 years – and called him a stranger.

Myskewicz was the first to address the court at Friday’s sentencing hearing for Johnson, 32, of Lima Center, who was convicted by a jury Nov. 7 of first-degree reckless homicide in the October 2016 shooting death of Ken Myskewicz in his Whitewater home.

She described her husband as her best friend and the love of her life since she was 16 years old “A stranger came into my home and took him away,” she said.

Kimberly Myskewicz said she referred to her brother as a stranger because the Alan Johnson who shot her naked, unarmed husband in his own home in the middle of the night is not the same Alan Johnson who spent summers with and took vacations with her family.

“I do not know who this person is,” she said.

A poster-size framed photo of Ken Myskewicz, wearing cycling clothes and holding a glass of beer, leaned against the jury box in the courtroom as Kimberly Myskewicz described her husband. She said he was known for his smile, his ponytail, his taste for a good IPA (India pale ale), a hearty burger and her homemade cookies and his passion for cycling.

“He was a leader. He was a friend, and he was a good

Son seeks maximum Kim and Ken Myskewicz’s son, Tyler Myskewicz and his fiancé, Hannah Hitchcock, also addressed the court and asked for the maximum sentence for Johnson.

Tyler Myskewicz described a brotherly relationship with Johnson, an intelligent uncle with whom he could discuss anything.

“I trusted him perhaps more than any other person I’ve known,” he said.

Tyler Myskewicz said when Johnson shot and killed his father on Oct. 25, 2016, Tyler lost two family members.

“That night in October, he murdered not just one of the most important men and role models in my life, but two,” he said.

Tyler Myskewicz said he was willing to forgive his uncle initially when Johnson admitted to the killing and turned himself in. But, Myskewicz said, Johnson then “hired a salacious and vulgar attorney” who smeared his father during a seven-day trial that began in late October.

During the trial, Alan Johnson and his sister, Nicole Carlson, testified about abuse, including an incident of sexual assault against Johnson, they as well as Kimberly and Tyler Myskewicz suffered at the hands of Ken Myskewicz.

Kimberly and Tyler Myskewicz denied that abuse although Tyler acknowledged that he and Ken Myskewicz had a strained relationship in his formative years.

“He could be a stern and uncompromising man,” he said.

But, he said, he and his father had mended their relationship, and Johnson’s “truly, wholly reckless” act denied

him the opportunity to further recommended a sentence of that bond. five years initial confinement and five years extended superAttorney rejects ‘murder’ vision.

was only reacting to an intruder in his house and ended up getting killed. I ask this court to sent a strong message to Alan Johnson and to the public that vigilantism can never be tolerated.”

Shooter apologizes Johnson also addressed the court. He apologized to his sister and nephew for the great deal of pain he has caused them.

“I want to express my apologies to Kimberly and Tyler,” he said. “I have caused both of you to experience a great loss.”

He also thanked his family for their support and apologized to them at the same time.

“I have caused you pain and heartache,” he said. “That was never my intent.”

Hurley refrained from repeating the contents of the written statements he provided the judge and letters sent to the court in support of Alan Johnson.

Judge Kristine Drettwan read portions of some of the letters, which described Johnson as intelligent, gentle, kind,

giving, patient, a caretaker, a teacher and a motivator. He had no prior criminal record, no history of drug or alcohol use and a college education.

“He is the glue that has held my family together for years,” Carlson wrote in her letter to the court.

Carlson, her parents and three other family member or friends were present in the courtroom Friday but declined to address the court.

They sat quietly during a courtroom recess before the judge’s decision, Eric Johnson with his head bowed, while on the other side of the courtroom, Myskewicz’s family – including Eric and Catherine Johnson’s daughter and grandson – stood and chatted.

“I see a family divided across the aisle,” said Drettwan, which she said makes the sentencing decision all the more difficult.

“This is a heart-wrenching and incredibly difficult decision for this court to make,” said Drettwan, who has presided over the matter since it was charged in October 2016.

Antioch Parks and Rec charges forward HI-LITER • WEDNESDAY, JAN. 24, 2018 • 4

By Gail Peckler-Dziki CORRESPONDENT

After about five months on the job, Village of Antioch’s Director of Parks and Recreation Robbie Spencer has created a new vision and has settled into a new area.

Spencer, who came on board last August, enjoys the small town feel of Antioch.

“What attracted us to this was the small town feel,” Spencer said.

Considering his background, Spencer has spent time in municipalities large and small.

“I grew up in smaller towns and larger cities,” said Spencer, whose father was a Marine. “And I enjoy the smaller town where both residents and businesses have an opportunity to be very involved.

“I was amazed at the involvement of the volunteer groups I found in Antioch,” he said. “I have never seen such involvement by organizations outside the government.”

When Spencer started in August, he spent time evaluating and assessing operations of the Antioch Parks and Recreation Department and identified assets.

Some of the most important assets he discovered were the staff.

“Everybody here was doing a great job,” he said.

“But we needed some to become full time and we needed to make sure that titles people had actually reflected what they did.”

Spencer plans to keep all featured programs, stating they worked well, and looks to add more.

There are about 15 new programs that will be added, which means increasing staff numbers.

One new hire will be a full-time aquatic/program manager.

“During the summer this individual will serve as aquatic manager,” he said.

“And the rest of the year will direct other programs.

“In the three places I’ve worked the pool is a service the municipality provides.

The amount spent and the amount collected weren’t even close,” Spencer said.

“This year in Antioch, the pool will either break even or pretty close and I think that the next year the pool will actually make money.”

Additionally, Spencer has spent time with area recreation organizations, which focus on area youth.

“I have been working with Antioch Youth Little League, the Antioch American Youth Soccer Organi-

zation, Antioch Youth Flag Football and the Viking Football groups,” Spencer said.

The goal is to get all the youth programs under the park and recreation umbrella.

“The programs already work well and under our umbrella, we can help them become better. We can provide consistent manpower and funding.”

In addition to the current and new youth programs, some adult programs are planned for this spring and summer, including adult softball and flag football.

Spencer graduated from high school in Marietta, Ohio and then attended Ohio State University in Athens where he played wide receiver.

After graduating with a degree in recreation management in 2010, he went to Bradenton County in Florida.

From there, he moved to Sheridan County in Wyoming as athletic director of the recreation district.

From Wyoming, he went to Lakeland, Tennessee, a suburb of Memphis.

“My task was to build the department from the ground up,” Spencer said, “and that was accomplished in two years.”

“The decision to sell our confectionary business comes as we continue to pursue our growth strategy in the U.S., transforming our business to be fit for the future by focusing on high-growth food, beverage and consumer health categories,” the letter to the mayor states.

U.S. Nestlé Group consists of eight main businesses ranging from water to pet care and health science products.

The company said the sale for $2.8 billion is expected to close around the end of the first quarter of 2018.

Commenters on Hefty’s Facebook post questioned whether the move would harm the city’s reputation as Chocolate City or detract from its annual marquee festival ChocolateFest.

received some reports of the predators attacking small pets and have encouraged pet owners to exercise caution.

“Don’t leave small pets unattended outside and consider installing fencing to protect them,” a news alert states. “To keep coyotes from coming on your property, limit unintentional food sources such as bird food, pet food, ripe fruit and trash.”

Coyotes, according to the alert, typically feed on mice, rabbits, fawns and other prey as their main diet source and consume plants and other vegetation as a supplemental source.

While officials encouraged caution, they said simply seeing a coyote does not constitute an emergency, the alert said.

“They are a permanent fixture in Illinois, so seeing a coyote cross a field, street or backyard does not necessarily constitute a dangerous situation for humans and pets.”

Child found not breathing at bottom of pool revived

By Vicky Wedig STAFF WRITER

A 4 ½-year-old girl found not breathing at the bottom of the pool at Lake Lawn Resort last week was revived and is doing well, according to Delavan police.

Lake Lawn staff notified authorities when the child’s parents found her not breathing at the bottom of the pool at about 9:15 a.m., said Police

Chief Tim O’Neill.

The girl’s parents got her out of the pool and began CPR, he said.

Emergency medical crews were sent out, but a doctor in the city’s medical unit happened to be on Highway 50 and arrived before the ambulance, O’Neill said.

He said the ambulance arrived quickly, and the child already had been revived by

the time they got there.

“It was a great response,” he said. “The child was fine.

The parents did a terrific job.

The Lake Lawn staff did a terrific job. It could have been a real tragic situation.”

O’Neill said the child was under the water for less than two minutes, and both parents were present when the child was swimming.

Sports facility seen as a boon for the community

By Jason Arndt EDITOR

Zach Strasser will not have to travel as far to hone his golf skills, thanks to a local family whose dream of opening a sports complex came true Saturday, when the Westosha Sports Complex held its grand opening.

The complex, 1215 N. Pryor St, Silver Lake, features two virtual golf simulators and seven batting tunnels to help students Zach Strasser strengthen their proficiency on the range and the ball diamond.

“It is awesome, I get to practice a lot during the cold months and it is really fun,” said Strasser, a senior who plays on Wilmot Union High School varsity golf team.

Before Westosha Sports Complex opened, Strasser traveled to Hawk’s View Golf Course in Lake Geneva, but the new facility is right in his back-

yard.

“I go to Hawk’s View, but for me, that is a pretty long drive, so this being two minutes away from my house is perfect,” he said.

The perfect location came to fruition in August, when the Village of Salem Lakes approved the sale of the two-acre property to Dave Adamecz, who saw an opportunity about a year earlier in South Milwaukee.

“About a year ago, my wife and I were actually at Hitters in South Milwaukee. All of the parents who were with me said it would be cool to have something like this here,” said Adamecz, who operates the facility with his wife, DeeDee. One of the couple’s three sons, 20-year-old Michael, is also involved in the business.

Their two other children are Jimmy, 23 and Ryan, 10.

About two months after the village approved the sale, the family broke ground on the Pryor Street property in October.

According to Dave Adamecz, the new complex

gives area coaches an opportunity to instruct their players closer to home.

“We knew a bunch of coaches that went to a bunch of other places during the winter and they wanted a closer facility,” he said. “So we just came up with this idea.”

The 10,436-square-foot complex offers HitTrax, a baseball simulator that measures real-time data, and displays live results.

Additionally, five of the seven batting tunnels are retractable to allow coaches to conduct infield drills, according to Adamecz.

Cost to rent a hitting tunnel for an hour is $40, and for 30 minutes, it is $25.

The HitTrax costs $35 for 30 minutes.

The golf simulator costs $30 per hour on weekdays, and $35 during the weekend.

The complex also offers annual and family memberships.

Two different pictures She said two different pictures have been painted of Ken Myskewicz and two different sets of opinions were shared with the court about what should happen to Johnson.

In sentencing him to 25 years of initial confinement and 10 years extended supervision, Drettwan cited the severity of the crime, again referring to Johnson killing a naked, unarmed man in his own home in the middle of the night, but also referred to Johnson’s character.

She said both sides in the case agree that killing Myskewicz was out of character for Johnson. He took care of his aging parents and his sister who lost her husband and was known as a smart, helpful, unassuming man, she said.

Drettwan said the law also requires her to consider his demeanor during trial.

“It has been nothing but respectful and appropriate at all times,” she said, even during stressful moments at trial.

However, Drettwan said, she must question Johnson’s judgment in taking a loaded gun to a home where he was not welcome in the middle of the night. She said even if Johnson believed Myskewicz had abused him and his family members and had child pornography, Johnson had other options.

“It did not give you the right, Alan, to recklessly shoot him,” she said.

“Alan could have gone into the house sometime when no one was home,” she said. “There were clearly times when that house was empty.”

Drettwan’s sentence of 35 years in the prison system is higher than the Department of Correction’s recommendation of 20 years in prison.

Johnson will serve it – minus the 445 days he’d been in jail as of Friday – at the Dodge Correctional Institution.

Sisterly bond

ON AND OFF THE

court

Siblings now playing for hometown university

wo years after winning a Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association state basketball championship together, sisters Sarah and Rebekah Schumacher are back sharing the court as members of the same team.

This time, they are wearing the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater purple instead of Whitewater High School red.

Sarah, the older of the two, spent the last two years at NCAA Division 2 Quincy University, where she averaged 2.4 points per game in in 29 games.

She had no doubt that she was going to transfer and that it was going to be UWWhitewater.

“I grew up kind of watching the Warhawks, so I am really excited to be on the court this year instead of watching them,” Sarah said. “I’ve been a fan of the UW-Whitewater Warhawks my whole life being from here and coming to the games all the time.”

The original plan was that Rebekah, who is a freshman at UW-W, would join her sister at Quincy. But when her sister decided to return home, she thought that being from Whitewater also provided a good opportunity to play for her hometown team, Rebekah said.

“It was the best opportunity at the time,” Rebekah said. “It just seemed like the right choice.”

The older Schumacher said that it has been fun to see how they have grown up over the years.

“It is fun because we have good chemistry on the court,” Sarah said. “We had a lot of fun playing in high school, so it will be interesting to see how it will be in

college.”

The elder Schumacher averaged

BY Ryan Spoehr five points per game through 13 STAFF WRITER games. She made 17 of her first 19 shots from the free-throw line and & Daniel Schoettler has two blocked shots.

CORRESPONDENT “We’ve come a long way from the beginning of the season,” Sarah said. “We are kind of starting to get into the flow of things. It is always new getting used to a different program, but I think we have made some good progress lately with getting to know the offensive plays and working with my teammates.”

The younger Schumacher was averaging 1.4 points per game earlier this month.

Through nine games, she had nine steals, which was fourth on the team.

“It is an adjustment from high school, and the biggest one is the pace of the game,” Rebekah said. “It is a lot faster here, and everything is faster on the court.”

High school career

The Schumachers’ former high school basketball coach remembers the duo fondly and even puts them in a class by themselves.

“I’ve coached many sisters over the years, but the Schumachers stick out because never do I remember them squabbling once with each other,” said Judy Harms, their coach with the Whippets.

“That is rare and quite an impressive reflection of their parents, family and upbringing. It did help playing different positions, thus they never had to compete for playing time.”

Harms said the two complemented each other in that Sarah was a strong vocal leader for the Whippets, and Rebekah always led by example through her play.

Places in record books The names of Rebekah and Sarah Schumacher are all over the history books at Whitewater High School. Now as athletes at the University of WisconsinWhitewater, they each can look back and see one of their names, both of their names or even their names twice on 11 all-time lists at Whitewater High School.

Sisters Rebekah and Sarah Schumacher, of Whitewater, found success on the basketball court together in high school. The two were a part of a state-title run in 2015 that included a perfect 21-0 record. The two are either individually, or both, in the top 10 of 11 statistical categories all-time at Whitewater High.

After Sarah transferred from Quincy University and Rebekah went to her hometown university for her freshman year of college, the two are side by side again as Warhawks at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater.

BOB MISCHKA Hi-Liter

Whitewater High School girls basketball head coach Judy Harms said Sarah (No. 33) and Rebekah Schumacher (No. 14) always worked together on the court as teammates. They were “never selfish or self-centered. They just wanted to win,” Harms said. The sisters have translated that philosophy to the NCAA Division III basketball court as teammates at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater.

“Sarah takes more of a grit approach, showing eagerness and a physical style, which goes with her inside presence,” Harms said.

The two also worked together on the court, Harms said.

“Both did a phenomenal job finding each other on the court, yet (they were) never selfish or self-centered. They just wanted to win, period,” Harms said. “Their winning attitude was embraced by their teammates, bringing a strong drive to excel on the court, celebrating the successes of others, as well as collectively.”

Harms remembered a time when Sarah went into a huddle with her teammates with a look of determination on her face, like one of a champion.

“She said, ‘We are not losing.’ That was the year we went 21-0,” Harms said.

Transition to college ball

The Schumachers have reunited on a team that holds lofty expectations.

Last year, UW-Whitewater finished 22-6 and earned a berth in the Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Conference Tournament, winning the event for the first time in school history to reach the NCAA Division III tourney for a ninth time in 10 years.

The Warhawks won three of their first four WIAC games this season.

The Schumacher sisters said they are excited about joining such a successful program and the possibility of competing for a national championship together after winning a Division 3 state title in high school.

“I’m looking forward to playing with

her again after a few years off of that,” Rebekah said. “It is important to take it game by game, and our goals are high.”

The older Schumacher, a junior, is studying biology in hopes of being a physical therapist, while the younger Schumacher is an education major.

In past years, the UW-Whitewater women’s basketball program has had several Whitewater High School alumni, including Brooke Trewyn, who has been with the team the last three years.

“It is exciting to have local talent in our program, and that has always been a cornerstone of what we have been about, and we’re really excited to have them and their families in our program,” UWWhitewater head coach Keri Carollo said.

The Schumachers and Trewyn are the only three former Whippets on this year’s roster.

“We had a lot of fun playing in high school,” the older Schumacher said about the possibility of both playing with Trewyn again. “We’re definitely excited since it has been three years since we were all on the same team.”

Carollo added that having the three former Whippets on her roster says a lot about what Harms has done for that program and the community.

“She has really worked hard to start working with the kids that are really young with the youth program and building the program year after year,” Carollo said.

Carollo said that it is astonishing to see the talent that comes out of the high school year after year.

“We’re just really blessed to be in the same town and fortunate that they want to come and play for us and be Warhawks,” Carollo said.
