Emily McCarthy made sure her senior year didn’t just end with a graduation ceremony. The Marquette commit had two hat tricks last week for the Papermakers as she helped the team secure their first state trip since 2011 after 4-0 wins over both Appleton West and D.C. Everest.
Sawyer Deering and Benny Kieffer both had two hits efforts, while the Kimberly pitching had 10 strikeouts in their 8-4 playoff win over conference foe Hortonville last week. With the win, the Papermakers advance to sectional play this week.
The Kaukauna Galloping Ghosts baseball team saw their season end with a heartbreaker. The Ghosts let a 3-1 lead disappear in the seventh inning of their 4-3 regional loss to Appleton East last week.
Over the past four years, Kimberly senior Logan Salzmann has had a rivalry in cross country and track with Kaukauna’s Andrew Milhans. Now after graduation, the two will be teammates as Salzmann committed to UW-La Crosse last month.
Kimberly senior Chance Rill is headed to next week’s state golf tournament at Blackwolf Run. Rill had a fifth place finish at the Notre Dame sectional last week on the Thornberry Creek Golf Course as he led Kimberly golfers with a 76 in the meet.
