Crivitz Holds Onto Lead Over Wausaukee in Close Contest

Crivitz Posts Win Over Wausaukee<.b>

The Crivitz Wolverines held off the Wausaukee Rangers last week to defeat them by way of a 57-46 final verdict.

"I played two teams tonight," said Crivitz Head Coach Brett Meyers. "We played everyone today since there was not a JV game and that threw us out of rhythm. Some of our combinations tonight were off."

It wasn't a run away at any point for the Wolverines who fought hard over the first half getting a 29-20 lead.

"I'm happy with the underclassmen though they did a good job tonight," said Meyers. "We played hard when we needed to tonight. You play your varsity players and then you put in people they aren't as used to playing with and it can put you in a pinch. But everyone got to play and that was great for us."

At one point over the first half the Wolverines led 26-10 but the Rangers were not willing to give up and closed the gap.

"It's always a battle when we play," said Wausaukee Head Coach Dave Messar. "I just got to figure out a way to play toe to toe instead of playing catch up all game long.

Over the second half the Rangers closed within eight points 33-25 but watched as that slight rally evaporated behind a tough Wolverines attack.

"We have been starting out most of our games with large deficits," said Messar. "We played tough tonight and we are maturing. We are heading in the right direction heading toward playoffs."



Lena Survives Close Call with Wausaukee

The Lena Wildcats posted a win Friday night on their home court but not until Wausaukee gave them a battle and the fans in attendance a show.

"We knew this was going to be a competitive game," said Lena head coach Tim Goldschmidt. "We have beat this team by one point and then by two points so we knew this wasn't going to be an easy win."

After the final buzzer the Wildcats were on top 43-40.

"I thought we were going to have another overtime game," said Wausaukee head coach Dave Messar. "I told the girls we watched two now lets win one. I was disappointed to see us down but our receivers really fought back."

The wild show had twists and turns along the way. Over the first half the lead switched multiple times until the Wildcats took the lead 20-14.

"We got excited tonight, said Messar. "We need to hit our free throws. those free throw misses really cost us the game. We lost tonight but like I told the girls graduation this year doesn't affect us. The team we played will lose some players. We are all going to be back with more experience."

The second half was more in the hands of Wausaukee, who shot a 26 point tally and held Lena at 23 points. Unfortunately for the Rangers the rally wasn't enough.

By games end the Wildcats were led by Kennedy Marquardt with 15 points. Claire Brooks posted eight. Aspen McGee finished with seven.

Wausaukee was led by Autumn Schroeder with 17 points. Rachel Schlies got nine while Kenzie Truesdell posted seven.

"I give my girls credit for stepping up," said Goldschmidt. "One of our best ball handlers went down on a concussion and the girls really stepped up to make up for her loss. We know they have a great ball player in Rachel Schlies and we know we have to stop her if we are going to win."



Bulldogs Drop Overtime Game to Eagles 55-51

For the third straight game, Peshtigo's girls went to at least one overtime period. Unfortunately for the Bulldogs, Thursday's game with Southern Door ended in a loss, unlike the first two, both triple-overtime wins..

Peshtigo trailed 28-16 at halftime. The Bulldogs wouldn't come out firing in the second half either, trailing by as much as 15 at one point

Peshtigo coach Bruce Parkovich said Southern Door came out amped up and Peshtigo didn't match the energy.

"We were never ahead the whole game. We were down 12 at halftime and they were playing very well. It was parents' night, it was senior night, Norton was getting six points and she had 1,000, so they were pretty fired up," referring to Southern Door's leading scorer, Nicole Norton.

Parkovich said Peshtigo trailed by 19 at half against Southern Door last year and nearly came back to win.

"I just told them at halftime, "last year we were down 19 at halftime and almost won, what's 12?' We ended up I think down 13, 14 at the time," he said. "Then all of the sudden, we just started picking it up. We made a three and we get a turnover on them, come down and drive in, make a layup and before you know it, we're down three."

With just seconds left in the game, down by three, Peshtigo lost the ball out of bounds, but retained the ball after the last touch came off Southern Door.

Off the out-of-bounds play, Grace Wickman nailed a contested 3-pointer to tie the game at 49.

"I was surprised they let her shoot it because they had fouls to give, but every coach is different," Parkovich said.

Peshtigo didn't quite have it in the overtime period, scoring only two points and falling 55-51, with Parkovich mentioning turnovers and missed layups as contributors in the half.

"The girls really played hard. They could have packed their bags when we were down 15 at one time," Parkovich said. "It's just one of those things were we sort of ran out of gas in the overtime. Southern Door is a good team. We felt we could play with them and we sure did."

Norton scored 17 points to lead all Southern Door scorers. Peshtigo's Sydney Lund had 18 points, while Emma Gilligan added 12 and Wickman chipped in nine.



Coleman Gets Win Over Shiocton

The Coleman Cougars who have shown this season that they can win against just about everyone, set down the home court Shiocton Wolves by way of a 52-37 final verdict.
