After taking part in the Heart of the Valley Invite on Monday — where Kaukauna brought orange and white teams that both played well as a deep Ghosts’ team competes for starting spots — the girls took to the road for relatively easy wins against Neenah and Oshkosh West.

The Little Chute offensive and defensive lines controlled Friday night’s game against New London as the Mustangs racked up 149 yards on the ground while holding the Bulldogs to 116 in a 38-6 opening-night win at Fitzpatrick Field.

An 80-yard touchdown pass from Garrett Weyenberg to running back Noah Hoffman on Kaukauna’s first play from scrimmage gave the Ghosts a 6-0 lead and the team never looked back, doubling up Ashwaubenon on the back of an explosive offense in a 48-24 win Friday night at Bank of Kaukauna Stadium.

With a first glance at the score, Kimberly’s 34-9 victory over Stevens Point looks like an easy win.

But heading into halftime, clinging to a 14-9 lead with three turnovers, the Papermakers were trending in the wrong direction.

The Kaukauna and Kimberly girls’ golf teams kicked off the 2021 season with an invitational at Crystal Springs Golf Course in Seymour last Friday.

Led by Ava Bloch’s 80, the Ghosts won the invite with a team score of 349. Bloch shot 40 on the front nine and 40 on the back to finish with the second-lowest score of the day.

After winning 11 straight games to bring home regional and state championships, the Kaukauna American Legion baseball team needed just one more win to add a national title to its resume. 

Little Chute senior Colin Voigt is a multi-sport athlete. He runs in the 100- and 200-meter events, as well as the long jump and triple jump, as part of Mustangs’ track team.

Voigt is also a wide receiver and defensive back for the football team.

The Kaukauna Angels Division II American Legion baseball team capped a historic run.

The Kaukauna Legion Angels qualified for a Wisconsin regional after beating Seymour 12-1 on July 24. The Angels haven’t stopped rolling since, and heading into Monday’s regional semifinal, were the only unbeaten team in bracket play at the tournament.
