Shawano Community High School’s athletic hall of fame will have three new members once the class is inducted on Oct. 1.

The Class of 2016, which will be honored in a ceremony prior to the homecoming football game, includes King Miller, Lee Otto and Dennis Blunk.

Miller, a 1952 graduate of Shawano High School, competed in all 12 athletic seasons of his high school career in football, basketball and track.

Miller displayed his prowess on the football field as the team’s fullback. He was also a member of the 1952 conference championship basketball team and was described as an outstanding defensive player. In the spring, Miller earned recognition as the high-hurdle conference champion.

Otto received four varsity letters, two in basketball and two in baseball from 1960-1961. Otto was a dominant all-around player leading his team in scoring, rebounding and free-throw percentage.

During Otto’s senior season in 1961, the Shawano Indians varsity basketball team earned a berth in the state tournament. There were no divisions in the early 1960s, so each school, no matter its size, had an opportunity to win the single-elimination tourney. Shawano (17-6) drew Waukesha (23-0), the No. 1 team in the state. The matchup was at the time thought to be one of the greatest games ever played in the state finals. The Indians lost 88-86 on a shot made with 4 seconds left in the game.

Otto’s efforts were recognized at the state level with second team all-state honors. He also represented the Indians as a second team all-conference player. Otto’s teammates and coach Rudy Ellis named him the 1961 team captain and most valuable player.

Otto continued his athletic success in the spring on the baseball diamond, where he led the Indians in hits, runs, RBIs and a .422 batting average.

At 6-foot-11, Blunk was a dominant force on the basketball court. He earned two varsity letters.

During the 1972-73 season, Blunk helped Shawano to a conference championship in his senior year by leading the team in scoring and rebounding. Blunk was named a unanimous selection to the All-Wisconsin Valley team after leading the conference in scoring with 298 points.

During his final season as a Shawano Indian, Blunk scored 520 points, averaging 22.6 points per game. Blunk was unstoppable, scoring 41 and 46 points in back-to-back games. Blunk set three school records by scoring most points in a game (46), gym record in a single game (41) and earning the highest field goal percentage at nearly 60 percent. He was named to the all-state second team.

The inductees will also be recognized during the homecoming parade at 6 p.m. Sept. 30 as part of the Shawano Community High School Booster Club float.

SCHS will hold the annual induction ceremony at 12:15 p.m. Oct. 1 in the high school commons. The homecoming football game against Waupaca will start at 1 p.m. The inductees will be introduced again on the field prior to the game.

CROSS-COUNTRY

Hawk boys 10th, girls last in Bay Port

Brandon Pagel had Shawano’s best time of the day at 18 minutes, 48 seconds, and Griffin Bohm was just seven seconds behind as they finished in 39th and 41st, respectively, at the Bay Port Invitational on Thursday afternoon.

Karsten Anderson followed in 46th, and Santana Lyons and Michael Mault finished next to each other as the Hawks tallied a score of 243. Appleton North won the boys meet with a score of 56.

The Hawks girls team finished in last place with a score of 363. Alice Hoffman (22:58) and Sarah Mente (23:49) finished among the top 62 runners. Caitlin Daniel (24:58), Madeline Hanson (25:34) and Makayla Stoddart (26:08) completed the scoring.

Kimberly won the girls race with a score of 57, including three of the top five runners on the day.

Despite having the larger team, the Shawano/Bonduel girls swim team could not escape Thursday’s home dual with Sturgeon Bay/Sevastopol with a single event victory.

The Hawks earned 10 second-place finishes in the 11 varsity races, including a large comeback effort by Peyton Hrabik in the 200-yard freestyle relay, but fell to the Clippers, 97-73.

“We knew it would be a tough meet,” Shawano head coach Liz Teetzen said. “Sturgeon Bay has elite swimmers where they swim all year round, where we only have a handful that does, so we knew it would be a tough meet.”

Hrabik gave Shawano/Bonduel its best chance to get a victory twice on the night, but never moreso than in the 200-free relay, when she took the anchor leg trailing by nearly four seconds.

“She always gives it her all,” Teetzen said. “She’s a good anchor because she fights until the last stroke. She has the right mentality. Even if we are behind, she will come out and fight as hard as she can.”

Hrabik set out on her rapid pace, swimming her 50 yards in 28.57 seconds, making a run at Sturgeon Bay/Sevastopol senior Julia Gomez, who finished the 500 free about five minutes earlier.

Gomez reached for the wall just 0.6 seconds prior to Hrabik, giving the Clippers the eight points for the victory in the relay.

Hrabik also finished 0.7 seconds away from a first-place finish in the 50 free and barely out-touched teammate Sam Leiser, who took third.

Leiser took second in the 100 free behind the Clippers’ Molly Banks by over 10 seconds. Banks was a part of four first-place finishes on the night.

Teetzen wants to continue to see the times drop for her swimmers, as she did on Thursday. Megan Fischer posted a 1:25.97 in the 100 breast, five seconds faster than her previous times in the event, and sophomore Skye Bohm lost over a minute on the 500 free in her quest for fourth place in the dual.

Despite the depth on the team, Teetzen wants more girls fighting for the top spots in the races to help the Hawks take dual meets this fall.

“(It) puts it into perspective that there are very competitive teams out there in our conference,” Teetzen said. “Just because they are smaller doesn’t mean that we can beat them since we have more swimmers.”

FOOTBALL

Amherst 42

Bonduel 22

Parker Bohm completed eight passes for 152 yards as Bonduel fell in Amherst on Friday night.

Brandon Olsen posted 100 receiving yards for Bonduel (3-2, 1-2 Central Wisconsin Conference-8).

Chandler Benn led Amherst (4-1, 3-0 CWC-8) on the ground with 111 yards and three scores.

Mental lapses down the stretch proved to be too much to overcome for the Shawano Hawks on the road in Seymour.

Driving down the field in the closing minutes, a holding call and a dropped ball stalled the drive before the Hawks turned the ball over on downs with 1:13 left in the game, allowing Seymour to seal the 27-26 victory.

“Mental lapses on both sides of the football. As we want to move toward a successful program, we have to overcome those things, and that’s part of the growing process,” Shawano head coach Al Tomow said. “Maybe we had a little deer-in-the-headlights look, and this moment might have been a little too big for us, but at the same time, it’s a chance for us to learn, and there’s a lot of season left.”

Shawano hurt itself in the fourth quarter when, after getting the ball at its own 24-yard line with 4:46 remaining, Hanauer threw an incompletion on a trick play, stopping the clock and forcing the team to call for a pass play on third down.

This time, Seymour’s Jake Roskom slid back in coverage and cut under the route of senior Connor Klish, picking the ball off and returning it 40 yards for the go-ahead score.

“We don’t play conservative,” Tomow said. “If we have a chance to win the game, we are going to take it, and we thought it was a good opportunity for us to try to seal it up. Unfortunately, we missed protection on the backside, and they were able to get their hands on our quarterback to disrupt it.”

Seymour, which had been winless on the season, made the biggest play of the game.

“It’s huge. Once you get to that point, you’ve got to find a way to make a play, and we found a way,” Seymour head coach Matt Molle said.

Everything seemed to go Shawano’s way throughout the second and third quarters as it built a 26-13 lead heading into the final 12 minutes.

Seth Sousek read the eyes of Seymour quarterback Devin VerVoort for an interception deep in Thunder territory, and the junior outside linebacker came up with a big stop on fourth and 1 on the edge of the red zone of Seymour’s next possession.

word missing? After?Sousek’s interception in the second quarter with Seymour backed up on its own 1-yard line, Kien Moorman punched the ball in from 3 yards out to put the Hawks on the board.

With the ball on the 20-yard line, Hanauer found Austin Kohl for 26 yards, Connor Knish for 12 yards and the Klish again on fourth-and-7 on the 30-yard line with 12 seconds left. Klish cut to the middle of the field before pitching the ball to Dylan Sumnicht, who raced down the right sideline the final 20 yards for the score in the closing seconds of the half.

“We thought we liked the hook and ladder more than our other one, so Connor caught the ball, made a great pitch, and then Dylan, one of the fastest kids around, he took it to the house,” Tomow said.

Seymour (1-4, 1-3 Bay Conference) came out after the halftime intermission to pull within one, but Hanauer responded, finding Sumnicht on broken coverage down the right sideline for a 48-yard score.

On the ensuing squib kickoff, Sousek jumped on the ball to give Shawano (3-2, 2-2 Bay Conference) possession yet again. The Hawks would turn the ball over on downs, and then Richard Johnson recovered a fumble and took it 20 yards for the score with 1:50 left in the quarter.

Sumnicht led the Hawks with 95 yards and two scores, while Hanauer had 274 passing yards and two touchdowns. Kien Moorman rushed the ball 16 times for 38 yards and a TD.

Seymour was led by Jamison Sassman’s 147 rushing yards. Alex Palubicki had 74 yards and a TD for the Thunder.

“There’s two ways we can go,” Tomow said. “We can hang our heads and say ‘almost’ and play that card all the way through, or we can come out angry and show that there’s a season left to play, and Green Bay West is in our way.’

Bonduel’s boys and girls cross-country teams took first place at the six-team Menominee Indian Eagle Invitational on Tuesday.

Bonduel’s girls had four of the top five runners in the race for a score of 22. Ashlyn Schnell finished in second place, Arianna Factor in third, Laney Richmond in fourth and Abby Owen in fifth.

Marion’s Delaney Greene-Gretzinger (20 minutes, 16 seconds) won the race as the Mustangs finished second with 48 points. Teammate Melody Riemer also placed in the top 10 in seventh place, with Tailyn Beyersdorf 11th and Harmony Riemer 13th. Kayla Jung finished 16th.

Bonduel’s Jared Wondra won the boys race in 18:34. Colin Ewing finished in third place (18:54) and Austin Kurey in fourth (19:03). Bonduel rounded out its score of 21 with Jacob Moede in sixth place and Alex Schill in seventh.

Gresham/Bowler’s Levi Shick took 12th place, and Noah Bestul came in 16th for the Wildcats.

Wolf River Lutheran had two runners in the race. Blaine Andrada (22:34) came in 19th and Ben Schmidt (22:46) finished 22nd.

With the score tied 9-9 in the fifth set Monday, Emily Sorenson came up big for Bonduel.

Sorenson recorded three kills and served the final point in a 3-2 nonconference victory (16-25, 25-22, 25-17, 20-25, 16-14) over Shawano on Pink Night, when the neighboring communities work together to raise money for families battling cancer.

Sorenson posted a team-high 14 kills after taking over at middle for her injured sister, Hayley.

“We knew that she has the ability to jump really high in the air and has the athletic ability, but there’s a lot of skill and timing that goes into it, and she’s stepped into that role well,” Bonduel head coach Kim Bodoh said.

After the Bears jumped ahead 14-11 in the final set, Julia Klement had two kills in three points to pull Shawano back to a tie at 14-14. But Kaitlyn Bohr and McKenzie Wollenberg had back-to-back kills to seal the victory for Bonduel (7-15, 1-3 Central Wisconsin Conference-8).

Wollenberg, after a slow start to the match, including a second set where she didn’t get set once, had four kills in the third set, another four in the fourth set and her final two in the last set, including the game-winning kill.

“She just steps in in those key moments when you really, really need her,” Bodoh said. “Her play is just so consistent. I don’t ever worry about her shanking a ball or not hitting a ball over.”

Bonduel was able to hit off the block and tip over the block all night.

“This team just sees the floor really well,” Bodoh said. “I wish they would hit it still a little more, but we’ll get there.”

The Bears found the open spots on the court, and Shawano (16-8, 1-1 Bay Conference) did not find a way to get the ball up.

“I think we just weren’t prepared for the offspeed tempo,” Shawano head coach Breanna Young said. “We weren’t fast enough on our feet tonight.”

The hard-hitting Hawks were led by Julia Klement’s match-high 16 kills, followed by Averi Vomastic, who had 12.

Shawano jumped out to a 22-11 lead in the first set, behind the hitting of Vomastic and serving of Brandi Gueths. Sorenson rolled off five consecutive serves, but Shawano would close out the game for the 25-16 win.

“They originally came out pretty pumped to play Bonduel, but came out a little too confident, I think, tonight,” Young said.

Bonduel responded with wins in both the second and third sets behind six kills from Sorenson and five from Kailee Pedersen.

Pedersen finished the night with 30 digs and seven kills. Bonduel setter Brynn Reinke had 38 assists.

Shawano got 33 assists from its setter Bayleigh Laabs, who also recorded 17 digs. Gueths followed with 15 digs, and libero Saige Henning had 15 digs.

The event raised $1,221.29 for two Bonduel families who have loved ones battling cancer. Both schools plan to continue the pink game next fall in Shawano.

“I think this can be an awesome tradition. The gym was packed. The kids were having fun,” Bodoh said. “It’s a wonderful thing. I’m excited to see the tradition go further.”

Shawano scored two early goals courtesy of Braxten Surber and Aaron Lammers before lightning postponed the Hawks’ game with Green Bay West in the 17th minute Tuesday in Shawano.

Less than a minute after Lammers scored on a rebound to put Shawano ahead 2-0, the referee stopped the contest. After waiting nearly an hour, SCHS activities director Charmaine Schreiber made the decision to postpone the game.

Shawano showed a new lineup with Surber and Michael Klement as forwards, Tyler Buerman and Payden Buck out wide, Jacob Moesch more in a midfield role and Jacob Dickmann helping out defensively.

Lammers came in as a sub for Buerman out wide after the first goal.

“We switched everything around, including personnel,” Shawano head coach Bob Croschere said. “It seems to be working for us right now. We’re kind of clicking, so we’ll see what happens with it.”

Shawano (5-3-1, 2-1-0 Bay Conference) put pressure on the Green Bay West defense immediately with lobbed through balls to Surber and Klement.

It helped create a scoring chance when Buck sent a shot over the goal in the first minute and Klement put one right at Green Bay West goalkeeper Rene Fernandez that was cleared handily.

Surber opened the scoring when he beat West defender Michael Vang and cut toward the goal before putting his shot into the back of the net.

Surber created another chance when he was taken down in the box in the 14th minute, but Moesch put the penalty kick at the foot of Fernandez, who cleared it out wide.

Just three minutes later, Moesch took a shot from over 20 yards out that Fernandez punched down. Lammers remained unmarked in the box before putting the rebound into the goal for the 2-0 lead.

“The entire time Aaron has played for me, he has always been one of those hustle-type people where he has always been there for stuff like that, so that one doesn’t surprise me,” Croschere said. “He’s going to get those goals.”

Tyrell Hesse had one save in the 17 minutes of action against the Wildcats (0-8-0, 0-3-0 Bay).

No date has been announced to resume the game.

In the wake of last Sunday’s misstep in Minnesota, from the sky-is-falling sector of Green Bay Packers fandom comes a reasonable inquiry.

Should we be concerned?

After the completion of the second week of the National Football League schedule, there are more tricky questions surrounding the Packers than there are reasons to feel confident, let alone invincible.

They were beaten by a Vikings team playing without its No. 1 quarterback, and whose best player was an utter non-factor before he left the game with an injury.

Making matters worse was Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers’ getting outplayed by Minnesota QB Sam Bradford, who’d joined the team just two weeks earlier but guided the Vikes’ offense with Rodgers-like efficiency.

Rodgers was intercepted once and committed a career-high three fumbles – two when his celebrated pocket instincts sidestepped him and one when he didn’t protect the ball while high-tailing it from the relentless Vikings rush.

The loss to Minnesota was the second straight unspectacular performance by the Packers – not a great way to begin a campaign in which they had been regarded among a handful of teams favored to win it all.

Their close-shave, season-opening escape in Jacksonville was written off to the Jaguars’ big improvement over last year. But then those improved Jags turned around and got destroyed by San Diego.

So, what to make of the Packers heading into Week 3?

In what we have come to expect as a normal year, it would be a relief for the Packers to welcome the Detroit Lions to Lambeau Field for this Sunday’s home opener.

Instead, there are the lingering remnants of the Lions’ last visit here, when a Packers failed 2-point conversion in the last half-minute preserved an 18-16 Detroit upset win.

That, plus the two straight mediocre performances, and a sense of growing parity throughout the league, can give pause to the notion of the Packers’ coming in favored by more than a touchdown.

However, it’s instructive to note that but for one unfortunate spot against the Vikings, it may be an altogether different tune being sung today.

Trailing 10-7 with a little more than five minutes left in the third quarter, the Packers went for it on fourth-and-2 from the Minnesota 14 rather than kick a game-tying field goal.

Say what you will about taking the points when they’re there, but credit coach Mike McCarthy for having the guts to shuck the conventional wisdom and safe call.

James Starks appeared to have made the first down – and he did, by one line judge’s spot. But by the other line judge, the one who took the ball and made the spot, he was short by a few inches.

It’s the kind of thing that goes your when you’re running hot. As it worked out, it was the Vikings blowing their goofy, oversized Gjallarhorn in the winner’s circle, and the Packers looking up from second place in the NFC North.

Good teams overcome dodgy calls and all that, but to anyone who would argue that refs can’t be the sole deciding factor of an outcome, a couple of words that may jog your memory are “Fail Mary.”

For all his sub-par plays, Rodgers’ good instincts were still evident on his 10-yard touchdown scramble that brought the Packers to within 17-14. That score came on a drive in which he connected with Jordy Nelson on a sweet 39-yard hookup in the corner, a bomb reminiscent of the old days.

Plus, the Packers’ run defense is leading the league. Minnesota linemen got windburn from Mike Daniels and Nick Perry, who were in the Vikings’ backfield as often as Adrian Peterson before he hobbled off the field. Better days for the Pack are almost surely afoot.

Although, if they tank again and get stuffed by the Lions, skeptics might feel justified reaching for the panic button. It’s the red one, on the right.

Shawano Community High School junior Brianna Zook was named to the all-Bay Conference first team for her play during the fall golf season, which concluded Tuesday at Wander Springs Golf Course in Greenleaf.

She was one of the top five golfers over the course of the season, including a fourth-place finish at the conference meet this week with a round of 94.

Zook is in just her third season of competitive golf.

“She’s still pretty new to the game even though she shoots pretty well,” Shawano head coach Dean Kugler said.

Zook was a second-team all-conference selection last season and qualfied for sectional competition.

Zook was the No. 1 golfer for the Hawks all season. She won the Bay Conference meet at home on Aug. 29 by shooting a 43.

Bonduel High School sophomore Jessie LaBerge earned honorable-mention all-conference honors.

Bonduel head coach Taylor McAdams routinely moved the girls around in the order because the team’s top six golfers were interchangeable throughout the past seven weeks.

Shawano will travel to Crystal Springs Golf Course in Seymour for a WIAA Division 1 regional on Wednesday, and Bonduel will travel to the Division 2 Freedom Regional at Irish Waters Golf Club.

From there, the top two teams advance to sectionals, along with the top four individuals not on either of the advancing teams.

New to the traditional homecoming schedule at Shawano Community High School this year is the Shawano Hawk Homecoming 5K-NoK on Oct. 1.

This first-time event is being held to raise money for student scholarships for SCHS cross-country team members.

Registration will begin at 7:30 a.m. The 5K will begin at 9 a.m. The “NoK” option allows people to register but not participate in the 5K.

The 5K will follow the school’s cross-country course, which consists mainly of grass areas with a wooded section layered with wood chips. There is also a section where participants could run on a sidewalk or along a street. It will be lined and marked with cross-country directional flags. Depending on weather conditions, there might be some wet or muddy areas, and the course might not be 100 percent stroller-friendly.

All sales are final. Event fees will not be reimbursed due to cancellation of the event or if the registrant cannot participate. Registration must be received (online or via mail) no later than Saturday for participants to receive the desired T-shirt size. If registration is received after the deadline, the T-shirt and/or size will depend on availability.

Shawano 3

Green Bay West 0

Shawano got 18 assists and two aces from sophomore setter Bayleigh Laabs in a road sweep of the Wildcats, 25-15, 25-9, 25-9, Thursday.

Junior Niki Hoefs had three aces and four digs, while Averi Vomastic recorded three kills and eight digs for the Hawks (17-8, 2-1 Bay Conference).

Brandi Gueths added four aces, four kills, three blocks and five digs for Shawano.

Gresham senior Alyssa Roe seemed to find a hole in the Tigerton serve receive Thursday night and used it to her advantage.

Roe rattled off nine consecutive serves in the second set, including three aces, to build a 13-1 advantage as the Wildcats controlled the majority of the contest for a 25-23, 25-8, 23-25, 25-18 victory in a Central Wisconsin Conference-10 matchup in Gresham.

“We needed to make our serves,” Gresham head coach Tim Wild said. “She really came through and got us some big runs.”

Roe finished with 20 service points and six aces.

“I was just having a really good day, and the momentum was keeping me going,” Roe said.

The Tigers could not figure out the serve in the second set, allowing Roe to go on the nine-point streak.

“Poor serve receive today, and our girls knew it,” Tigerton head coach Holly Block said.

The two teams battled throughout the first set, with neither team leading by more than three points. With the game tied 18-18, Gresham and Tigerton split the next 10 points before a ball-handling error gave the Wildcats a set point. Kamille Davids recorded an ace for the 25-23 victory.

Roe helped Gresham ease to the second-set victory, and the third set looked exactly like the first with the two evenly matched teams. Tigerton used a few errors to finish out the 25-23 victory.

In the fourth set, after the Wildcats got out to an 8-4 advantage, Tigerton used a 7-1 run behind the serving of Lonna Minniecheske to take the lead. Gresham middle Sydney Jensen had two kills and two blocks over the final 14 points to push close out the set 25-18.

The blocking stood out to Wild.

“I think we blocked the best we blocked all season,” Wild said. “We got a lot of touches, which is important because they are strong hitters, and if you don’t get hands on those, it’s going to make for a long night.”

Gresham’s serving was able to keep Tigerton out of system, preventing it from getting the ball to its two middles, Lonna and Monika Minniecheske, at the net.

Meanwhile, the Wildcats (8-5, 4-2 CWC-10) fed the ball to Jensen, who racked up 14 kills and four blocks. Two of her blocks came late in the third set as Gresham tried to come back from a 16-19 deficit.

“She’s very talented,” Block said. “We couldn’t block her very well, but they couldn’t block Lonna either. I thought it was a good matchup.”

Tigerton (10-3, 4-2 CWC-10) came into the match with just one conference loss, competing with Wild Rose, Tri-County and Bowler for the conference’s top spot.

“The match today just put us in a conference position we don’t want to be in, and so it meant a lot,” Block said. “So I’m hoping tomorrow when we come back, they take that to heart.”

After losing two matches last week, a five-setter to Tri-County and a sweep at the hands of Bowler, Gresham bounced back against Port Edwards on Tuesday and the four-set victory Thursday.

“We had a tough week last week, and now we’ve got a couple of wins this week, so hopefully we have some momentum going forward,” Wild said.

Mackenzie Hoffman had 17 digs for the Wildcats, and Dani Huntington recorded 27 assists.

Tigerton was led by Lonna Minniecheske’s 13 digs, while Charity Desrochers had 12 assists and 10 digs. Alliyah Neveaux posted 14 digs.

Menominee Indian used explosive plays, led by running back Antonio Mahkimetas’ 424 rushing yards and five touchdowns, to top Bowler/Gresham in a Great-8 North road contest Friday.

Menominee Indian (2-4, 2-4 Great-8 North) had explosive plays all over the field, including five scores of 30 or more yards, and dominated down the stretch, scoring 26 unanswered points over 15 minutes of the second half in a 58-32 victory, to spoil the homecoming festivities in Bowler.

With the Eagles clinging to a 16-12 lead, Mahkimetas took the first play of the second half 67 yards for a score, but the Cats immediately responded when senior Riley Mohawk took the kickoff 80 yards down the right sideline to the end zone.

Just 1 minute and 28 seconds later, Mahkimetas found the end zone again, this time on the end of a 50-yard rush to put the visitors up 14 points.

“He was in a different zone tonight,” Menominee Indian head coach Chris Clache said.

Mahkimetas scored once again in the third quarter and again early in the fourth, along with Darius Wayka, for a 50-18 advantage.

The Eagles’ offensive line, consisting of Leander Moon, Elliott Miller and Darius Wayka, was consistently opening holes and moving Bowler/Gresham defenders off the ball.

“Our offensive line actually blocked really well tonight. They sustained their blocks,” Clache said.

The Cats were meticulous on offense, sustaining drives that led to their scores. On the opening possession of the game, Bowler/Gresham drove 65 yards over 7 minutes and 30 seconds for Mohawk’s 17-yard TD. The Cats converted three third downs on that possession alone.

Mohawk had 14 carries for 77 rushing yards and a TD while completing three passes for 47 yards and a score. Nathan Montez had the receiving touchdown, a 45-yarder with 2 minutes left in the game.

The Cats (0-6, 0-4 Great-8 North) cut the deficit to 4 points at the break on a Montez rushing touchdown.

“Tonight, our youth showed a little too much,” Bowler/Gresham head coach Eric Peebles said. “We are a little young in some spots.”

Upperclassmen helped the Shawano/Bonduel swim team win all but two of the 13 varsity races Tuesday as the Hawks dominated Marinette, 115-50, at home.

Senior Emme Quandt and junior Lydia Colon each won two individual events, and relay teams comprised mostly of seniors won three races.

“They all looked really good. We’ve been practicing more on drills and technique, and it really showed tonight,” Shawano/Bonduel head coach Liz Teetzen said. “This is a time of year that the girls start to get burnt out, and today we all really kind of came together.”

Quandt thought the team performance was the culmination of recent work.

“We’ve been working really hard at practices lately and we’ve been putting in the work for the dry land,” Quandt said of the workouts the team has done outside of the pool. “So we were expecting it to show tonight, and I think it definitely did.”

Colon took first in the 200-yard freestyle (2:23.13) and the 500 free (6:31.07). She also helped the Hawks take the 200 medley relay and 400 free relay.

In her 200 free, Colon was a full 12 seconds clear of second place, Marinette’s Katie Hruska. In the 500 free, Colon won by nearly three minutes.

Quandt won the 200 individual medley and the 100 butterfly. Samantha Leiser was key in victories for the 200 medley, 400 free and 200 free relays.

Colon and Megan Fischer joined Leiser and Quandt to win the 200 medley relay, and the victorious 200 free relay team included Leiser, Peyton Hrabik, Abigail Palmer and Britney Angeli.

The 400 free relay was composed of Colon, Quandt, Leiser and Palmer.

Fischer won the 100 breaststroke by nearly three full seconds over Angeli, and Hrabik won the 50 free.

Freshmen Emily Thornock, Ashauntee Smith and Rebecca Lewandowski all stepped up to get points for the Hawks.

“It shows how much talent the upcoming freshmen do have,” Quandt said. “They are just freshmen, but they can do really well too.”

There are varying perspectives on whether it’s a boon or a hindrance for a National Football League team’s bye week to occur after having played just three games.

Many of the 78,000 fans at Lambeau Field last Sunday, though, were clear on how they felt about the bye week starting after 2 1/2 games.

The Green Bay Packers are guaranteed to come out of next Sunday’s action in second place in the NFC North, with the same 2-1 record they had after beating Detroit 34-27 in last week’s home opener.

Their Week 4 bye means extra healing time for injured Sam Shields, Jared Cook, Aaron Ripkowski, Clay Matthews, Datone Jones, Morgan Burnett, Letroy Guion and anyone else on the roster dinged up over the first three games.

The time off could also provide the coaching staff some introspection on how a blowout win almost got away from them.

There was plenty to be encouraged about in the victory over the Lions, and in a 16-game regular season, fussing over Xs and Os ignores the ever-prevailing importance of the W.

To that end, and to the delight of Packers fans everywhere, the offense found its rhythm, with quarterback Aaron Rodgers and wide receiver Jordy Nelson leading the way on six completions for 101 yards and two touchdowns.

Plus, the Packers’ run defense was outstanding again, holding their opponent to fewer than 50 yards on the ground for the third straight week. They are allowing less than two yards a whack rushing, best in the league.

The pass defense was another story. Micah Hyde, LaDarius Gunter and Joe Thomas all had good chances for interceptions but failed to haul them in.

But the biggest muff in the defensive backfield was made by rookie Josh Hawkins. On the hinge of his unfortunate misplay the game turned 180 degrees.

The Packers led 31-3 with :42 left in the half when Detroit’s Matthew Stafford connected with Marvin Jones on a sideline route, where he was covered by Hawkins.

Jones made the catch near the 50-yard line, but rather than take a direct route to knock him out of bounds, Hawkins hesitated, giving Jones the time to right himself, stiff-arm Hawkins and take it the rest of the way.

The 73-yard touchdown got the Detroit sideline jacked up and into the game again, although there seemed no reason to panic because Rodgers had spent the entire half slicing up the Lions like a Christmas goose.

But throughout the second half the Packers’ offense went into fetal-ball mode. The play-calling was that of a team looking to run out the clock, and not to throw the knockout punch. After 18 first-half passes, four of which resulted in touchdowns, Rodgers threw only six times.

Eddie Lacy ran for 103 yards, which is good, but by the time he went off tackle for three of those yards – the 13th running play of the second half – the 28-point lead was cut to seven, overtime loomed as a threat, the Lions had the momentum and the crowd was loudly booing. Not until Rodgers made a first down on a third-and-8 keeper with three minutes left did the throng finally relax and cheer the victory.

With that near-disaster averted, the Packers await their Oct. 9 date with the New York Giants, quarterback Eli Manning and talented man-child wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. – he of the one-handed catch, the tearful sideline tantrum and the no-decision fights against field goal practice nets variety.

There is every reason to believe the Packers’ offense can keep rolling. Nelson, as we were reminded last week, is a force in tandem with Rodgers, and in their wake Lacy, Randall Cobb and every other skill position player becomes more dangerous.

The Packers don’t need to worry about finding the open seams of a defense as much as they might better focus on locating the opponent’s jugular.

The Bonduel girls golf team had a shot at doing something it hasn’t done since 2003.

However, the Bears came up two shots shy of advancing to sectionals as a team by placing fifth at a WIAA Division 2 regional at Irish Waters Golf Club in Freedom on Wednesday.

But Bonduel wasn’t denied being represented at sectionals as sophomore Kylie Guenther and junior Mariah Diemel advancing individually.

“It definitely means a lot,” second-year Bonduel coach Taylor McAdams said of sending two golfers on to sectionals. “It’s a confidence boost, especially to the two that made it. With having time left in high school, they know it’s possible. And, too, it means that somewhere between last season and this season I’ve made an impact, and that’s huge.”

Bonduel was in a dogfight with Marinette for the fourth and final spot as four of the nine teams in the regional move on to sectionals. Marinette fired a 448 to edge Bonduel at 450. Freedom (383) won the regional on its home course, followed by Denmark (412) and Luxemburg-Casco (424).

Freedom senior Lori Meyer and Denmark senior Leah Hansen both carded 81s to earn medalist honors.

The Bears had a good opportunity to tally a lower score than 450, but rain and wind played a factor most of the round. The sun didn’t make an appearance until most of the golfers were 15 holes in.

“Compared to where we were last year, very happy with it,” McAdams said. “That we are even in the talk of sectionals, whether as individuals or as a team, very happy.”

Guenther shot a great round for Bonduel in her first regional as a varsity golfer. She flew under the radar as the No. 3 player on the team, but came through with a 106, good for 10th overall and qualifying her for sectionals as the third of four individuals to advance.

Guenther’s round started out tough with an 11 on the first hole, but after that she settled in.

“I’m happy, but that first hole messed me up,” Guenther said.

Guenther still finished with a 56 on the front nine and followed that up with a team-leading 50 on the back nine of the par-71 course.

On holes 6, 7 and 8, Guenther carded fives with a six on the ninth.

“I think that was the turning point,” Guenther said.

McAdams saw a lot of good things on the course from her sophomore.

“She was just striking the ball well, she really was,” McAdams said. “Her aim was off, but her ball striking was really good. Even if you’re off a little bit, you’re still going to get the distance you need, so that’s what she was really working with.”

Diemel, Bonduel’s No. 4 golfer, was solid all day on her round and came through with a 107 to advance to sectionals. Her worst hole of the day was an eight, which was much better than most of her competitors. She registered eight bogeys to stay in the hunt.

“She played really smart,” McAdams said.

Diemel had a team-low 51 on the front nine and a 56 on her final nine holes. Her 107 was the 11th best score out of 44 golfers and secured her the final spot at sectionals.

“Her 18-hole rounds this year have been the best that she’s ever scored,” McAdams said. “She has come a long way.”

Allissa Tilleson, the team’s No. 5 golfer, had a solid round of 117. The senior ended her career with a 59 on the front and 58 on the back nine.

Bonduel’s top two golfers, Jessie LaBerge and Morgan Cornette, had uncharacteristic rounds. They both finished at 120.

LaBerge, a sophomore, had a 57 on the front nine, but a 10 on hole No. 12 pushed her to a 63 on the back nine. Cornette, a senior, tried to shake off a 10 on the second hole and came through with a 59 on the front and 61 on the back.

Guenther and Diemel will have a couple of days to prepare for sectionals at the Racine Country Club. Tee times start at 9 a.m. Tuesday.

McAdams is excited her girls will play at the Racine Country Club. She’s very familiar with the course since she played college golf at Carthage College in Kenosha.

“Honestly, I can give them hole-by-hole advice, because I can remember every single hole,” McAdams said. “I remember you have to hit it here, you need to be wherever on the fairway. I know that course pretty well.”
