New London defeated Shawano 16-13 in overtime in Bay Conference play on Friday, ending the Hawks’ hopes for a spot in the WIAA playoffs.
The loss ended the Hawks’ season, but head coach Alan Tomow said he is proud of the improvement his team brought to Shawano football.
“I’m very proud of how hard we played,” Tomow said. “We had chances to win the game. We have made huge strides in our program, and our seniors were a big part of how far we’ve come. We’ve put in a lot of hard work to be competitive in our conference and hopefully our young kids see what they can accomplish when we work hard.”
