The Little Chute girls’ volleyball team completed a home-and-home series with Marinette last week and came away unscathed, taking down the Marines 3-0 at home Tuesday and again 3-0 on the road Thursday.

Thursday at Marinette

For the first time since 2014, the Little Chute girls’ golf team advanced to sectionals. Unfortunately, that’s where its season ended as the Mustangs shot a 425 to finish in sixth place last Tuesday.

Riley Huss and Mason Genke finished 1-2 for the boys and Jessica Wilson and Ella Pahl finished 1-2 for the girls at Thursday’s North Eastern Conference quad, giving the boys a first-place finish overall on the afternoon, while the girls finished second.

For the first time in school history, the Kimberly girls’ tennis team is sending five players to state as the Papermakers’ No.

Note: After this article was written, Maddie Kiley shot a 44 on day one of the state tournament, and on day two, finished with a 48 on the front nine and a 46 on the back nine to finish in a tie for 25th overall (out of 52 girls) with a 138. 

Despite allowing a touchdown late in the first half to lose the lead, Kaukauna played its best football coming out of halftime Friday night.

Back-to-back touchdown drives by the offense and two three-and-outs forced by the defense allowed the Ghosts to take control against host Plymouth on the way to a 27-19 victory.

Despite a disappointing 2-2 tie last Thursday night against Shawano, which saw a 2-0 lead disappear in the final few minutes, the Kaukauna boys’ soccer team has shown drastic improvements since the middle of the season.

The Kaukauna girls’ volleyball team had two games scheduled against the top two ranked teams in the state last week and were unable to pull off either upset, falling at home to No. 1-ranked Waterloo on Tuesday and to No. 2 Howards Grove Thursday.

Versus Howards Grove

For the first time this season, the Kaukauna boys’ and girls’ cross country teams attended an invite rather than facing off in a simple dual against a familiar Fox Valley Association team.

After finishing second at a Division 1 regional at Washington County Golf Course two weeks ago, the Kaukauna girls’ golf team had completed Co-Head Coach Pete Benson’s season-long goal: to reach sectionals.
