• Wolcott Tech looks to continue positive growth (collinsvillepress.com) — Lewis Mills/Wolcott Tech's co-op football team is gearing up for the 2026 season after ending last year with a confidence-boosting 19-6 win over Avon, snapping a four-game skid to the Falcons. The Spartans return key starters on both sides of the ball, boast a larger roster and staff, and will host Avon/St. Paul in a notable late-season matchup on November 20.
