Mount Horeb’s boys soccer team is just one game into its 2022 season. And one thing has already become crystal clear. Nate Thompson is going to be a problem. Not for the Vikings of course, but for anyone on Mount Horeb’s schedule. Thompson, a senior forward, erupted for five goals in the Vikings’...

Everything about the play was perfect. The route. The pass. The protection. And it needed to be, too. Mount Horeb-Barneveld’s football team, which had a flair for dramatics last season, was back at it again last Friday night.

Brian McIntyre isn't messing around. As Mount Horeb’s cross country coach discusses his goals for the 2022 Vikings, there is no “coach speak.” There’s no tap dancing. McIntyre and the Vikings have extremely high hopes — and they don’t care who knows it. “The potential to have both teams win...

Continuity. Stability. Consistency. These are some of the things John Malecki hopes to provide Mount Horeb’s boys soccer this fall — and in future seasons.

There is no indoor pool in the Village of Mount Horeb. Building numbers remains a work in progress. And there are multiple day-to-day challenges that come with starting a program.

Their 2021 campaign was derailed by injury. Today, Mount Horeb’s girls volleyball team is largely healthy and hoping for a big season.
