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…

After school officials removed the existing logo because it contained a religious symbol, the Messmer/Shorewood co-op football team will wear new decals during Friday night's game.
Messmer/Shorewood football coach Drake Zortman said new helmet decals to be debuted Friday night will celebrate the success the co-op football team has realized this season. "A 6-1 record currently, and locking up a playoff berth," Zortman said, detailing the successes. Shorewood district officials removed the student-designed logo that was used this year — a greyhound and a bishop’s hat with a religious cross, which represent both schools — after a parent emailed the district and expressed concern over its religious symbolism. On Wednesday afternoon during a press conference, Zortman unveiled the team's new logo: a football with the words "2012 Playoffs" on it. "I think we're going to be the only school celebrating on their helmets the …

Gov. Scott Walker has on his desk new legislation that would require young athletes suspected of having a head injury to be removed from the activity until he or she can be evaluated by a health care provider.
Randee Drew saw stars as he dropped to one knee. Moments before, the 190-pound Northern Illinois cornerback attempted to tackle a 270-pound Wisconsin Badgers tight end in a game at Camp Randall Stadium during the 2002 season. "I whacked him with everything I had," said Drew, a member of the Nicolet High School Athletic Hall of Fame. "I was kind of woozy for about two plays," he added during a recent interview. "I said, 'Please Lord, don't throw the ball over here,' because I wasn't all there." Given the hard-hitting nature of football, there is not much that can be done to prevent concussions, according to Drew. However, Drew said that once an athlete is dazed by a big hit, trainers, coaches and parents need to proper care is given to …

The Blue Dukes will advance to the final round of regionals on Saturday with a home game against Brown Deer; young Shorewood team looks forward to potential of next year's squad.
The halfcourt lob that guard Maddy Garcia drained, beating the buzzer signaling the end of the first quarter, was indicative of Whitefish Bay’s night as they cruised past Shorewood Friday, 44-24, in a Division 2 WIAA regional semifinal game. It would be Garcia’s only three points of the night, but with Whitefish Bay’s defense and the Greyhounds missing six of their nine free throws, they picked up their 19th win of the season.

State athletic association clarifies rule governing playoff eligibility of teams that left a conference without WIAA approval.
Following controversy over a WIAA rule and the Shorewood/Messmer football team's playoff eligibility in October, the state school athletic association changed the wording in its bylaws Wednesday to eliminate future confusion. According to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, WIAA met Wednesday to discuss its playoff seeding, but also alter the bylaw governing the playoff eligibility of teams that leave a conference without WIAA approval. The combined team also known as Messwood had initially been denied eligibility for the playoffs because it left the Woodland Conference in 2007 and WIAA rules state teams that do so are not eligible for the playoffs for four years. Messmer/Shorewood officials argued they had followed the rules as they were …
