SHAWANO — The Division 2 National Show Ski Tournament is coming to Shawano.

Smalley Park will host the tournament on Aug. 7-8, 2021, a goal that’s been years in the making. It became official after a phone call from the National Show Ski Association on Friday.

Brad Keuschel, the show director for the Shawano Ski Sharks, said the process really began when the Ski Sharks were still performing at their old site.

When the team moved to its current site in 2017, it met all the requirements necessary to host a tournament.

SURING — The Suring High School football team came into the season hoping to make a smooth transition to 8-man football. The Eagles did just that, tying for the MONLPC-8 title and earning a postseason berth behind a monster year from senior Logan Stuart.

OCONTO FALLS — Oconto Falls High School’s Natalie Brauer and Samantha Coron came into the fall season as the known leaders for the volleyball team. They didn’t disappoint with their play.

Both seniors were honored by the North Eastern Conference, with Brauer being a unanimous first-team selection and Coron landing on the second team.

Brauer earned the first-team selection for her all-around play on the court, but she did most of her work at the net.

She led the team with 352 attack kills on the season to go along with 45 total blocks.

The Chargers are coming off an up-and-down 2018-19 season in which they went 8-4 in Central Wisconsin Conference-East Division play. Witt-Birn, which is coached by Nick Mechelke, is healthy coming into the season and returns all but two players from last year’s team.

“The Chargers have high expectations this year as we are looking to compete for a conference championship,” said Mechelke, who expects the CWC-East to be strong again.

GREEN BAY — The Green Bay Packers defense stuffed a running play inside the 1-yard line as time expired to preserve a 24-16 victory over the Carolina Panthers on Sunday at Lambeau Field.

Down eight, Carolina put together a 18-play, 83-yard drive to try and tie up the game. Faced with a second-and-goal from the 2, the Panthers tried to run the ball with MVP candidate Christian McCaffrey, but the Packers kept the running back out of the end zone to improve to 8-2 overall.

Green Bay refocused and prepared for Carolina

GREEN BAY — Heading out to California for a week nine game against the Los Angeles Chargers, the Green Bay Packers appeared to be in cruise control after starting the year 7-1.

Things didn’t go according to plan from pretty much the opening kickoff, and the Packers were handed a humbling loss.

Luckily, it didn’t cost Green Bay its first place spot in the NFC North, but it turned week 10’s battle with the Carolina Panthers into a big contest, with the bye week looming in week 11.

Packers Notebook (Nov. 10)

No panic in Packer land

In the span of about three hours on Sunday, the Green Bay Packers went from Super Bowl contenders to a team shrouded in doubt.

At least that’s the outside perspective.

It’s true that the Packers performed miserably in a 26-11 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. It’s also true that good teams sometimes play bad games.
