Look for previews of the upcoming football season at The Marysville Globe and The Arlington Times. I’ll be heading back to Marysville’s practice this afternoon to talk with coach Brandon Carson.
Danielle As my editor has reminded me, not all games have four quarters. But I'm naming this blog for the Fifth Quarter festivities that took place after every Wisconsin football game (my alma mater). From the Wisconsin marching band's website: "Win or lose, thousands of fans stay after to celebrate with the Band making The Fifth Quarter the Wisconsin Band's most beloved tradition." Likewise, I hope to celebrate the best of the area's teams and athletes here, regardless of the game's result.
