The translated to long possessions for the Chargers, as they moved the ball around to find a …

How Safe Are Local School Districts?

Patch surveyed Milwaukee-area school districts about security measures in place at their schools.

The tragic shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary in Connecticut stole 26 lives and again opened the door on conversations about gun control and mental health. But another topic that has emerged is security in schools, and whether we are doing enough to keep children safe. Following the shooting, the National Rifle Association advocated arming teachers and stationing armed guards in schools. Patch surveyed Milwaukee area school districts on their schools' security practices. The 16 districts that responded to the survey are: Cudahy, Nicolet High School, Glendale-River Hills/Mapledale-Indian Hill, Muskego-Norway, Greendale, Shorewood, Oak Creek-Franklin, Menomonee Falls, Mequon-Theinsville, Racine Unified School District, Whitefish Bay, Whitnall…

The Indians soccer team got off to a sluggish start Tuesday, but defeated Milwaukee Riverside to advance to the next round in the WIAA tournament.

The Menomonee Falls Indians are moving on, but not they way you would expect. The varsity soccer team defeated Milwaukee Riverside High School in the first round of the WIAA playoffs Tuesday. The Indians will renew a cross-town rivalry against tenth-seeded Sussex Hamilton High School at 7 p.m. Thursday at Menomonee Falls High School.

Did A Hamilton Football Fan Go Too Far?

Police cited a Sussex Hamilton student for disorderly conduct after running on the field and planting a Hamilton flag at midfield before the football game between the Indians and the Chargers.

UPDATE: Menomonee Falls Police Capt. Mark Waters said Tuesday that the 17-year-old Sussex fan who stormed the field was cited with disorderly conduct. The teen received a $429 citation for his pre-game prank. According to police, the teen said he "got caught up in the school rivalry" and he acted alone, and the idea was his. Whether you call it the “Highway 74 Rivalry," “The Seven-Mile Showdown," or the “Border Battle”, it is clear that Menomonee Falls and Sussex Hamilton high schools are entrenched rivals. And as in any rivalry, there are plenty of pranks and trash talking between the participants. But school officials and police believe one student took things too far Friday evening. Just seconds after the National Anthem at Menomonee …
