Green Bay Notre Dame star Kingston Allen chases state history

Kingston Allen’s high school football career will come to an end sometime in the next two weeks. The area might never see a player like the Green Bay Notre Dame running back again. That old sports adage that records are made to be broken is something Allen has taken literally. He is on the cusp of perhaps his biggest achievement, entering a WIAA Division 2 semifinal playoff game against Union Grove on Nov. 13 needing 214 yards to surpass former Columbus star Colton Brunell as the state’s all-time rushing king. Allen recently joined Brunell as the only players in state history with more than 7,000 career rushing yards. Brunell finished with 7,416. Allen stands at 7,203. Rushing for more than 200 yards in a semifinal wouldn’t normally be a lock, but it might be for Allen if he stays healthy. He has rushed for more than 214 yards in a game 10 times this season. The only reason he didn’t do it in the other two contests was because he was pulled early with six carries and 136 yards against Manitowoc and seven attempts for 122 yards against Green Bay East after Notre Dame beat the two by a combined

Xavier beats Bay Port to win girls flag football title hosted by Packers

APPLETON – The championship trophy isn't gaudy or flashy, but the words inscribed on it do have deep meaning: "Forever The First." That's what the Xavier girls flag football team will have in its trophy case as a reminder of the Hawks' historic achievement being Wisconsin girls flag football champions – the state's first recognizable championship in the growing sport. The Green Bay Packers hosted the tournament at Emplify Health Field on Nov. 7 with Xavier knocking off Bay Port 19-6 in the title game. Sophomore quarterback Addy Hafner had three touchdowns passing with senior Hailey Hafner adding 10 carries for 90 yards along with six catches for 56 yards and a touchdown. Senior receivers Abigail Anderson and Macy Hietpas also had touchdown receptions in the win. Xavier's players received championship rings from the Packers as part of the celebration and the thought is this inaugural tournament is a precursor to the sport becoming an officially sanctioned WIAA sport. "I think it's just so cool that we are able to set an example for other girls to be like, 'We can play and we can make a sport when we show interest in it,'" Hietpas said. "I know there's so

Flammable rechargeable batteries could soon be replaced

GREEN BAY, Wis. (WBAY) - Maybe we can say goodbye to flammable lithium-ion batteries. We know firefighters will appreciate this. Electrochemical engineers found a way to use fluoride ions in batteries that work at room temperature. Fluoride is much more abundant than lithium, so the technology is cheaper. This rechargeable battery has other advantages, too.
