The Kimberly wrestling team faced what appeared to be an uphill battle Thursday night as the Papermakers travelled to Neenah for a quad with three of the top five ranked teams in the state in No. 1 Kaukauna, No. 3 Mukwanago and No. 5 Neenah.

The Mustangs’ wrestling team picked up five wins in Thursday’s dual against Mishicot, but it wasn’t enough to come away with a dual victory as Little Chute ultimately fell 51-27.

The Little Chute girls’ season didn’t begin until Dec. 11, and heading into this past week, the Mustangs were 0-3.

The Little Chute boys had not played since before Christmas when they lost on the road at Wrightstown on Dec. 23. The Mustangs clearly used that time to their advantage, however, as they went on the road to beat one of the top teams in the North Eastern Conference with a 64-61 win at Luxemburg-Casco.

The Neenah Rockets seem to be a bugaboo for Kimberly basketball. The Rockets handed the Kimberly boys their first loss of the season last month, and now Neenah has done the same to the Maker girls after holding on for a 60-56 win in Kimberly last Monday night.

The Kaukauna girls’ basketball team was up and down to begin the season. The Ghosts won their first three games, lost their next three, and then beat Oshkosh North and lost to Slinger to start the season 4-4.

The Kaukauna wrestling team got its first crack at multiple duals in one night last Thursday as the Ghosts travelled to Neenah for a quad featuring three of the other top teams in the state in Division 1, according to last week’s Wisconsin Wrestling rankings.

The Fox Cities Stars boys’ hockey team earned its first victory of the season last week with a 7-5 win on the road at Shawano/Bondel/Clintonville Tuesday and nearly added its second, ultimately losing by just one goal, 5-4, at home against Appleton United on Saturday.
