Central Wisconsin Christian claims first gold ball with sweep of Turtle Lake

ASHWAUBENON – A state championship win doesn't happen by accident and doesn't happen without fans sitting on the edge of their seats and cheering with no regard for how their voice may sound later. For Central Wisconsin Christian, it ended with fans watching a Kiley Beer serve hit the top of the net and drop to the floor. "I try to have a lot of confidence going back (to serve), but obviously there's a lot of pressure going back there on game point," Beer said. "I knew that I could do what I trusted. I've trained for this, I've prepared for this. "When I saw it go over the tape and go over, it just hit me and it was great." Central Wisconsin Christian, the No. 2 seed in the WIAA Division 5 state tournament swept Turtle Lake (26-24, 25-23, 26-24) to win its first state championship in school history. The 80-mile journey from Central Wisconsin Christian to the Resch Center, the biggest stage the state has to offer, to now state champions, started years ago. It started long before any of the girls who took to the floor on Saturday, Nov. 7 played a point of high school volleyball.

Mustangs get back to basics in state quarterfinal win over Wrightstown

Mark Krommenacker isn't above reproach when it comes to his play-calling. The second-year Little Chute head coach admitted that maybe he went a little too exotic in some of his calls in the second quarter of the Mustangs' WIAA Division 4 state football quarterfinal matchup Nov. 6 against Wrightstown. A pick-six in the second quarter gave the Tigers a halftime lead, but the Mustangs went back to basics in the second half to upend the Tigers 26-14. Little Chute (11-1) moves on to the state semifinals to face North Eastern Conference rival Freedom (12-0) at Ashwaubenon High School on Nov. 13. The Mustangs led 12-7 after the first quarter and were looking to stage another scoring drive when Wrightstown's Lincoln Hermsen picked off a play-action pass from Jaden Hermsen at the line of scrimmage and returned it 35 yards for the touchdown. That made the score 14-12 at the half and Krommenacker knew what he had to do in the second half. "We were a little bit maybe shell-shocked at that time, and rightfully so, because Wrightstown came out and had a good plan and got after us," Krommenacker said. "I think it's my fault. I got a little too

Seymour schools face budget cuts after vote fails

Seymour Schools face potential budget cuts after a $15 million operational referendum failed Nov. 3. The district's unofficial results showed 2,354 votes in favor of the referendum, about 46% of voters, and 2,812 opposed, about 54%. The referendum would have replaced one from 2024, which allowed the district to increase its taxing authority by $5 million a year for three years. The funding would have gone to maintaining programs, buildings and services for students, as well as keeping down class sizes and paying staff a competitive wage, according to district communications. District administrator Kellie Bohn attributed the referendum failure to rising living costs. "It's a tough fiscal time ... all over the state," Bohn said. "I'm confident that we have a lot of support for our schools in our communities, even if it didn't translate into 'yes' votes." "The challenge of all the inflationary expenses just makes people hesitant on approving a referendum, even though our mill rate was going to drop and our levy was going to stabilize," she added. According to data from the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction , Seymour's tax rate was $7.97 per $1,000 of equalized property value in the 2025-26 school year, down from
