The Blue Dukes advance to the next round of WIAA Playoffs after cruising to an easy victory; meanwhile Messwood is proud of its season.
Whitefish Bay running back Rashadeem "RaRa" Gray's 49-yard touchdown scamper on the team's first play from scrimmage set the tone Friday night. The North Shore Conference co-champions sprinted to an easy victory over Messmer-Shorewood 37-0 in the opening round of the WIAA Division 2 football playoffs. The two teams met on the football field for the first time in 11 years after playing nearly every year for 67.

Learn more about the matchup of these two North Shore neighbors, whose only losses were by one point (Whitefish Bay) and three points (Messwood).
Say this for Messwood’s first-round football playoff matchup — it’ll be easy on the gas tank. The Messmer-Shorewood co-op (7-1) earned a No. 7 seed in its eight-team bracket of the WIAA Division 2 tournament, and visits North Shore neighbor Whitefish Bay (7-1) at 7 p.m. Friday. Messwood routed Living Word Lutheran 56-14 in its final game of the regular season, according to WisSports.net. Its only loss was a 43-40 defeat to unbeaten Lake Country Lutheran. Messwood’s lower seed was likely due to playing in the Midwest Classic Conference, populated with very small private schools. The Blue Dukes were co-champions of the North Shore Conference, with only a one-point defeat against Germantown scarring their resume. They allowed only 36 points …

A Zucker classic is posted anew, and the Messwood football team has attracted quite a few cameras in its 6-1 season.
If this all seems like a bad movie — or a bunch of them — it must be YouTube. And while amateurs make the video-sharing site what it is, Shorewood’s famous professional directors showed up anew in the last month with a classic. Paramount Movies recently uploaded the trailer to Top Secret!, a post-Airplane! offering from Shorewood’s David and Jerry Zucker. Among the relentless gags in the movie, according to the notes with the video, is the singing of the East German national anthem to the Shorewood High School fight song tune. Want more music? Then watch — at your own risk — some karaoke performances from Shorewood Intermediate School’s welcome-back picnic. A group of boys and a group of girls each showed some courage in grabbing the mic…
