The Platteville Hillmen went into the 2013 football season with high hopes. Currently they are 1-3 and are still fighting for Hillmen pride. They started off great with a win over Darlington, traditionally a tough team. Next up was Dodgeville. They had a great start to that game and fought like Hillmen until the end, but they lost 48-45. Senior Will Cooley comments for their next game against Dodgeville. “Next time we play Dodgeville, we need to be much more disciplined, and learn how to finish strong.” Platteville went to Lancaster to take on our rivals, Lancaster. The Hillmen were only down by eight at halftime, but the game got away from them, 48-13. Against River Valley, Platteville were down by six at halftime and won 39-21. JV is 0-2 and the freshmen are 0-3.

Unfortunately, injuries inevitably result during football season. In the first game against Darlington, Derek Shambow ('14) tore his MCL. He’s still on the mend but hopes to be back before the end of the season. Looking to the future, Shambow comments on the team as a whole. “It hasn’t started off the best, but there’s still a lot of games left, and we still have room to improve.”
The seniors this year are playing with their hearts and a lot of hard work. Some of the seniors have commented how proud they are to be playing next to each other; they all have great leadership, and they appreciate all the support from the fans.Let’s keep it up, Hillmen! Support our school and all the sports! The next home football home games at the UWP stadium are September 20th against Richland Center, October 11th against Lancaster, and October 18th, the Homecoming game, against River Valley. Good luck Hillmen!
