After the dust cleared on Sunday – and it was a fun Sunday with multiple games featuring playoff-seeding implications – the Milwaukee Bucks ended up with the No. 3 seed in the Eastern Conference and will face the Miami Heat, who made Milwaukee look silly in the bubble playoffs last year.
The Kaukauna boys’ golf team travelled to Royal St. Patrick’s in Wrightstown Wednesday and came back with this year’s Heart of the Valley Invite title on the ever-difficult links course.
That was the highlight of the week, however, as the Ghosts’ win was sandwiched between two Fox Valley Association dual losses.
The Ghosts began last week with a road loss at West De Pere, but responded with back-to-back wins on Tuesday and Thursday before losing to Kimberly Friday afternoon.
The day before Kimberly’s win at the Ghosts, Jake Huntington started and went 4 1/3 shutout innings, scattering three hits and striking out five, while Al Leitner went 2 2/3 scoreless in relief as the Papermakers shut out Neenah in a 4-0 win.
A first inning rally, which featured the Papermakers putting together a string of hits and base runners — compounded by two Kaukauna errors — gave Kimberly a 5-0 lead it never relinquished in a road win over the Ghosts at Bayorgeon Field Friday afternoon.
Kimberly began its week with a loss at Kaukauna, but then strung two wins together — at Appleton West and at Hortonville (in dramatic fashion) — before losing a non-conference game to Green Bay Preble to close out the week.
Kaukauna’s one-run win over Kimberly began last week, but the Ghosts went right back to work with games on Wednesday and Thursday and three more on Saturday. The only loss of the week came Wednesday evening against Oshkosh West.

The Kaukauna boys’ golf team cruised to Fox Valley Association wins over Oshkosh North and Hortonville last week before finishing fourth at an 11-team invite at Rolling Meadows Golf Course in Fond du Lac Saturday.
The Kaukauna baseball team opened last week with a road loss to Appleton West and then played on the road twice more, but this time coming home with wins after beating Green Bay Southwest on Thursday and then Fox Valley Association foe Hortonville on Saturday.
The Kimberly boys’ golf team played twice last week, first in a conference affair against Neenah at home at Countryside Golf Course and then in an invite at Rolling Meadows Golf Course in Fond du Lac.
