BADGER OF THE WEEK

Jekhi Williams, Senior, Wrestler

Jekhi Williams had a great senior year of wrestling. He was the district champion and amassed a 43-2 record for his final season. Jekhi finished as the Class C state runner-up at 132 lbs. Jekhi is admired by his peers and teammates and is a leader that will be missed in the hallways and on the mat. You make Badger Nation proud, Jekhi!

Breaking News! A VMS TV reporter captured the pivotal event....
"Sara, in her toga, atop the Adirondack Mountains in west central New York, waves to Bifocal Ben (Franklin, that is), across the Atlantic in France where he's been negotiating a treaty. The surrender of British General John Burgoyne to the Continental Army General Horatio Gates following the battles at Saratoga clinched the deal. Make way for the French navy! Americans may just have a chance at winning this war!"
