Tom Dombeck predicts all 3 Manitowoc-Sheboygan WIAA football Level 3 games

Just three high school football teams from Manitowoc and Sheboygan counties remain alive entering Level 3 of the WIAA playoffs . As I did for Levels 1 and 2, I’ll predict all three games involving area teams. I went 4-0 in my predictions last week and am 10-1 in the postseason. The games will be broken down by division in descending order, beginning with Division 3. Division 3 No. 3 Plymouth Panthers (9-2) at No. 1 Port Washington Pirates (11-0) The No. 10-ranked Panthers and top-ranked Pirates have already met this season. On Oct. 9, Port Washington prevailed 42-34 as Pirates junior quarterback Jack Bunyan had a monster game. Bunyan went 24-for-44 with 348 yards and five touchdowns, although he did throw a pick-6 in the first quarter. If the Panthers hope to advance to Level 4, they’ll need to contain Bunyan better than last month. As for Plymouth, senior Cole Kuhn will need to once again have a stellar game. He had more than 170 yards total offense in the first meeting, with 105 yards rushing, 72 yards receiving and a touchdown. He also threw a 3-yard touchdown. The Panthers have reached Level 3 four times previously since 2012,

Joel Nellis from Brookfield Central High School selected as Packers Coach of the Week

The Green Bay Packers have announced that Joel Nellis of Brookfield Central High School in Brookfield, Wis., has been named the Packers High School Coach of the Week. Nellis, in his eighth season as head coach at Brookfield Central, has the Lancers preparing for Level 3 of the WIAA Division 2 playoffs this week. They look to advance to the Level 4 state semifinals for the second time under Nellis' leadership. An up-and-down regular season, in which the Lancers faced one of the state's most challenging schedules, ended with a 3-6 record and a playoff berth as a No. 7 seed. Despite their regular-season record, the Lancers are playing their best when it matters most, defeating second-seeded Beaver Dam and No. 6 seed River Falls to earn a matchup with top-seeded New Richmond this week.
