Amherst football embraces challenge vs Darlington: 'We're not surprised'

AMHERST – Amherst has spent the 2026 season knocking off all challengers in its unbeaten campaign and building toward this moment. But to keep its undefeated run alive, the Falcons will have to solve a Darlington team that hasn't lost in 26 games and brings one of the state's most explosive offenses into Friday's Level 3 playoff matchup. The mission is complicatedly simple. “We've got to somehow slow them down. That's the biggest thing,” Amherst coach Mark Lusic said. “They have a very explosive offense. I mean, I don't think they've been challenged all year. I don't know, probably for the last two years to be honest with you. "We're going to have to slow down their option. That's the biggest thing. If you don't slow that down, it's going to be a long night. That means they can do anything they want. It's about 50% of their offense. So, try to slow that down, and then go from there." Lusic knows the Level 4 matchup between the Falcons and the Redbirds will be decided up front at the line of scrimmage. He expects a physical Redbird defensive line, and has preached their need to match it. “They want to

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

Local high school athletes make college plans official on National Signing Day

The De Pere boys basketball team has won five consecutive Fox River Classic Conference championships, and it will be one of the favorites again this season thanks in part to the return of Will Krueger. The league’s reigning player of the year made his collegiate future official Nov. 11 during National Signing Day. The 6-foot-5 senior shooting guard will play for Michigan Tech, an NCAA Division II school in Houghton. The Huskies went 29-7 last season and advanced to the Elite Eight of the NCAA DII Tournament. The 29 wins tied the program record. Some of the best players in program history have been local players, a list highlighted by former Ashwaubenon stars Kyle Monroe and Marcus Tomashek . Krueger should provide Michigan Tech with another solid scorer when he arrives in 2027-28. He has been a key figure for the Redbirds since his sophomore year and averaged a team-high 17.2 points along with 5 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1 steal per game as a junior. Krueger shot 46.8% from 3-point range and has made 106 3-pointers in his career. “Will is a great teammate and his leadership will be extremely important to our success this year,” longtime De Pere

Appleton schools plan staff cuts to balance budget

In order to balance the budget over the next four years, Appleton schools will need to reduce staff. At a school board meeting Nov. 9, Appleton school leadership said they'd need to save $400,000 over the 2026-27 school year. However, they plan to reduce staff through resignation and retirements — especially in positions that are the furthest from students, like tech services and the district office, superintendent Greg Hartjes said. He also said the districts expected to cut between 5 and 10 positions this way, combining positions and dropping duties as needed. The district also plans to examine non-classroom positions, like administrative assistants and paraprofessionals, and consider whether any can be reduced for the 2027-28 school year. Appleton schools employ roughly 2,000 staff. Even with the prospect of cutting positions, however, Appleton schools still have empty special education positions, according to a report from district human resources director Julie King. And, during public comment, Ferber Elementary School's library and media specialist, Sara Wayland, also asked the board to consider positions like hers "essential student-facing educators," saying she and others in her position teach students media literacy and research skills. Even though Appleton schools passed an operational referendum in April, declining

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
