While the score indicates a very lopsided affair, Bay Port had to battle through a rocky first half. The Pirates are undoubtedly one of, if not the best team in Division 1. They earned the #1 seed, they earned home field advantage, but they also had to earn this victory over the Redbirds. The First Drive Bay Port won the coin toss and decided to defer, but little did they know they wouldn’t receive the ball until there were less than two minutes remaining in the first quarter. De Pere put together a lengthy, time-consuming drive where they converted on…

The Raiders finished the season with a perfect 9-0 record, 7-0 in the Eastern Wisconsin Conference. It all came down to Two Rivers and Chilton this past Friday night in a game that will be remembered for years to come. After a scoreless first quarter, it became clear that this game wasn’t going to be a shootout. Two Rivers trailed 14-7 at the half, and the score remained as such heading into the fourth quarter. The Raiders struck first, about four minutes into…

Bay Port’s toughest challenge of the season came this Friday against West De Pere. Both teams came into the matchup undefeated, but only one could remain with a perfect record and come out as the FRCC North Conference Champions. The two teams came into the matchup with very different offenses. West De Pere loves to throw the ball while Bay Port didn’t throw a single pass in the first half. Duke Shovald, quarterback for West De Pere, nearly threw the ball three times as many as Cole Bensen. Thankfully for Bay Port, Cole Bensen is one of the most explosive…

Division 1 Last year’s runner up, Appleton North once again draws a one seed. Appleton North is joined by Chippewa Falls in Sectional 1/2 of the bracket. The defending state champ, Oconomowoc, remains a one seed in Sectional 4. Waunakee finds themselves on the other side as the top seed…

After a disappointing 17-0 shutout loss to Reedsville in the Division 7 State Championship game last season, Coleman came out swinging. The Cougars are an impressive 9-0 and dominated everyone who stepped in-front of them in conference play. Coleman is once again the Northwoods Conference Champions. The Northwoods Conference has plenty of credible opponents. Crivitz is a Division 6 squad that has a 7-2 overall record and drew a #3 seed in the Division 6 playoffs. Coleman beat Crivitz in the first conference game of the year, 28-6. It’s hard to believe, but that 22-point margin of victory was the…
