It didn’t take long for the Shawano football team to get a win on its new field, as the Hawks handed Lakeland a 16-15 defeat in a nonconference matchup Aug. 28 at the Shawano Stadium.

The home opener at Shawano Community High School’s new athletic field ended on a positive note for the Hawks, as they scored 10 unanswered points off of a pair of turnovers in the fourth quarter.

Suring, Bonduel and Wittenberg-Birnamwood picked up wins in week 2 of the high school football season, while Oconto Falls and Marion/Tigerton came up short.

Suring 70, Niagara 8

Not only did the Eagles put 70 points on the board in their 8-player home opener Aug. 27, Suring’s defense also held the Badgers to 12 passing yards and 46 rushing yards, with 20 of them coming on a touchdown run by Owen Dunkes.

A Labor Day weekend baseball tradition will continue Sept. 6, as Gresham will host Little Falls in the 80th Badger Amateur Baseball Association Grand Championship.

First pitch is set for 2 p.m.

Both teams advanced to the title game after semifinal road wins Aug. 30. Gresham defeated Scandinavia 9-7 in Scandinavia, while Little Falls, the two-time defending Grand Champion, picked up an 8-2 win over Antigo/Polar in Antigo.

As good as the Bonduel Broncos were this season in the Dairyland League, the Hortonville Stars were better when it counted the most.

After earning the top seed for the league’s playoffs, the Broncos had home field advantage throughout the postseason and eventually advanced to the Grand Championship game against the Stars on Aug. 30 at Jack Reinke Field.

The losing streak didn’t last very long.

Less than a week after the Lena/STAA football team opened its season with a 12-6 loss to Laona/Wabeno, the Titans returned to their winning ways Aug. 27 with a 47-6 win over Goodman/Pembine in a matchup of 8-player teams at Lena High School.
