On paper, it wasn’t a very intriguing matchup.

Two high school football teams with identical 1-6 records – Shawano and Waupaca – faced each other Oct. 9 at Comet Field in Waupaca and ended up combining for eight touchdowns and 55 points.

Although Shawano scored on three of its first four possessions and led 21-7 at halftime, the Comets outscored the Hawks 27-0 in the second half and ended up with a 34-21 Bay Conference win.

Pulaski High School advanced one singles player and a pair of doubles teams to sectional tennis action, while Shawano had three singles players move on to the second round of the postseason.

Unfortunately, all of the girls lost in their opening matches of sectionals Oct. 8.

At No. 1 singles in Division 1, Pulaski’s Ruth Krause lost 6-0, 1-6, 10-7 to De Pere’s Lillianna Graf.

Ellayna Skarban recorded 10 attack kills and Chloe Schroeder tallied 27 assists as Suring defeated Wausaukee 3-0 on Oct. 7.
