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 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 .

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

Rice Lake’s Schmidt signs commitment to UW-Green Bay

For Rice Lake High School senior Addison Schmidt, she’s always dreamed of playing a sport in college. She’s not only going to get to do that, but she’ll be playing two. At a ceremony at Ole Olsen Gym on Wednesday, Nov. 11, Schmidt signed her letter of intent to join both the basketball and volleyball programs at UW-Green Bay. “I’m definitely really excited about it,” Schmidt said. “It’s definitely been one of my goals to play one or even two sports at the next level, so finding the right place for me that just so happened to be DI at two levels is super exciting and fun.” The three-sport standout for the Warriors has competed at the state level and earned all-conference honors in three sports — basketball, volleyball, and track and field. Schmidt wrapped up her high school volleyball career last month as the program’s leader in both kills (1,271) and blocks (396). She has twice earned second team all-conference honors, and this season was named to the first team. Schmidt was a Wisconsin Volleyball Coaches Association All-State honorable mention as a sophomore and junior and this year was an American Volleyball Coaches Association All-Region selection.
