SHAWANO — Two early turnovers proved to be the turning point in the Shawano Community High School football team’s 42-0 home loss to West De Pere on Friday.

Getting off to a fast start against the reigning Bay Conference champions and last year’s Division 3 runner-up at state was something Shawano hoped to achieve. The Hawks looked to be on their way to doing just that after junior Gage Timm found sophomore Elliott Lowney for a 56-yard pass to set the hosts up inside the West De Pere 20 on the first drive of the game.
