An intro into @gazettextra sports& #39; latest project. We& #39;ll bring you a story every day in May about an area high school senior (or 2 or 3 or 4) who saw their final spring sports season stolen by the pandemic. https://www.gazettextra.com/sports/high_school/schmoldt-gazette-will-honor-area-spring-sport-seniors-every-day-in-may/article_1f954175-fc2b-57ad-adc2-eb671d18cade.html">https://www.gazettextra.com/sports/hi...

Today& #39;s #springseniorsalute is Janesville Craig& #39;s Hannah Dunlavy, who has been a defensive menace on the soccer pitch and basketball court the last several years. She will play soccer at @WinonaStateATH https://www.gazettextra.com/sports/high_school/girls_basketball/craigs-dunlavy-thrived-on-shutting-down-opposing-offenses/article_14ca462a-13ab-5e9f-8d72-2935f1212f4a.html">https://www.gazettextra.com/sports/hi... @craig_soccer @JvlCraigGirlsBB
Yesterday, @BareZachow1 wrote about Parker seniors Zack Milner and Ryan Zimmerman, who were set to lead the way on the golf course this spring. @ParkerBoysGolf https://www.gazettextra.com/sports/high_school/boys_golf/parkers-milner-and-zimmerman-would-have-been-a-formidable-one-two-punch-in-boys-golf/article_6e3507ea-3069-5108-970e-4dd8c5dc06ea.html">https://www.gazettextra.com/sports/hi...
Today, I caught up with @EAHSElks star Haley Remington. She& #39;ll play college softball at Missouri-St. Louis. Elks would be state contenders this spring and she was first-team all-conference in hoops (not bad for a softball player, right @TeamRemington8?) https://www.gazettextra.com/sports/high_school/girls_basketball/already-a-softball-star-elkhorns-remington-went-out-in-style-by-taking-her-basketball-game/article_28a9e02a-daba-52b2-a343-0667e123937a.html">https://www.gazettextra.com/sports/hi...
Some sports Sam Dickerson was a first-team all-conference player. Others he was more of a role player. The @bfathletics senior& #39;s commitment and work ethic never wavered either way. https://www.gazettextra.com/sports/high_school/baseball/paving-the-way-big-foot-senior-dickerson-led-by-example-no-matter-his-role/article_6f6a43ee-57dc-57d1-abf9-5adf29853447.html">https://www.gazettextra.com/sports/hi... @BFChiefs_FB @BFChiefsHoops
Ethan Haefner of @Redhawkbasebal was just a pitcher. But he was determined to hit, too. He was great at both last year, and @MHSActivities_ was likely going to be in the mix to make it to state this spring for the first time ever.

Emily Pfeil and Hailey Elwood were the only two seniors for Evansville softball this spring. The former battery mates as pitcher and catcher in their youth days, were part of the Blue Devils& #39; only two regional titles ever and wanted a crack at a third. https://www.gazettextra.com/sports/high_school/softball/lone-seniors-elwood-pfeil-eyed-one-more-regional-title-with-evansville-softball/article_fc528049-ad76-545c-b5bd-6cb786acdfe2.html">https://www.gazettextra.com/sports/hi...

Taylor Barfield beat the clock on rehab from a knee injury last season to be honorable mention all-conference for @PHSSoftball6 and the @JanesvillePHS valedictorian was eyeing big things this spring for a softball program with lofty goals. https://www.gazettextra.com/sports/high_school/softball/from-injury-rehab-to-becoming-valedictorian-parkers-barfield-chased-down-lofty-goals/article_cff02d7d-00a9-567b-afd5-10e00e4249b8.html">https://www.gazettextra.com/sports/hi...
Craig senior Connor Clark of @JvlCraigHoops @CraigAthletics was an important veteran leader on and off the court/field who was hoping to help the Cougars vie for one more Big Eight title.

Jasmin Speth of @DDHSAthletics was looking forward to one last high school softball season, where the Comets play in a tough Southern Lakes Conference but usually seem to make a run when they drop to D2. She& #39;s headed to IUPUI. https://www.gazettextra.com/sports/high_school/softball/delavan-dariens-speth-never-stopped-improving-in-softball-or-basketball/article_bb4d2eb0-cc5c-51c2-8390-d3d21a57610a.html">https://www.gazettextra.com/sports/hi...

About halfway through May and not nearly done telling stories of area seniors missing out on final spring sports seasons. Jared Emerson was an all-conference first baseman for @phsbaseball2 which made sectionals last year and was ready to keep building. https://www.gazettextra.com/sports/high_school/baseball/lefty-emerson-a-natural-first-baseman-for-upstart-parker-baseball-team/article_2608c72b-3125-59b1-8800-88793544b1d3.html">https://www.gazettextra.com/sports/hi...
Craig senior Eden Lyle worked hard on her pitching this offseason. Would& #39;ve been in the circle for the Cougars and even earned her spot on a college team thanks to her efforts at a winter showcase.

Jack Mayer, Jared Clapper, Juan Cuellar and Will Leibbrand of @WHSwhippets @Whippet1Nation set school records in the sprint relays a year ago and finished with a pair of state medals.

Another Spring Senior Salute out of @Whippet1Nation @WHSwhippets today from @JohnClaudeMill . This year& #39;s softball seniors had helped fuel the program& #39;s turnaround last year to finish tied for second in the Rock Valley, and they were looking for more. https://www.gazettextra.com/sports/high_school/softball/senior-softball-players-were-hoping-to-build-off-whitewaters-momentum-changing-2019-season/article_0b5d7b03-e0b8-51eb-bf54-6b3c8c925ef5.html">https://www.gazettextra.com/sports/hi...

Today he checks in with @SchDistofMilton three-sport athlete Dane Nelson, who was out to keep setting school records on the track this spring after successful senior football and basketball seasons. https://www.gazettextra.com/sports/high_school/boys_basketball/after-memorable-stint-at-milton-high-nelson-looks-to-leave-mark-on-track-at-milwaukee/article_47e02870-b2a1-5565-a39e-91efbbe1a79c.html">https://www.gazettextra.com/sports/hi...

Gabby Petruzzello: valedictorian, @CraigAthletics state qualifying cross country, YWCA Woman of Distinction, track and field runner. Quite the resume, and yet perhaps most importantly, she advocates for mental health issues she has battled herself: https://www.gazettextra.com/sports/high_school/girls_cross_country/running-is-on-her-mind-janesville-craigs-petruzzello-a-valedictorian-state-qualifier-and-mental-health/article_de98b59e-213c-536e-a8d5-d4ba754e0b20.html">https://www.gazettextra.com/sports/hi...
Tina Shelton and Ryann Porter were primed for one last spring of track and field.
