Zuelke resigns, Kline takes over as interim head coach

Ryan Zuelke is out as Southern Door head football coach after serving the role since 2018.

 

Southern Door Superintendent Chris Peterson told NEW Radio Sports Network Wednesday afternoon that Zuelke was placed on administrative leave pending an investigation. Peterson would not comment on the incident that caused investigation, only saying it was nothing criminal.

Packers add tight end depth, Lancaster on Reserve/COVID-19 list

The Green Bay Packers made two roster moves on Tuesday.  The Packers placed defensive lineman Tyler Lancaster on the reserve/COVID-19 list and signed tight end Tyler Davis off the Indianapolis practice squad.  Davis, who was a 2020 sixth-round pick by the Jacksonville Jaguars, was added to the 53-man roster and could be active for Sunday’s game against Pittsburg. 

 

The 6’4 and 250 pounds Davis provides added depth to a tight end crew for the Packers that like to utilize their tight ends as blockers in the backfield.  Lancaster was placed on the reserve list which means he either tested positive for COVID-19 or has been in “close contact” with an infected person or persons.

Starter Adam Wainwright (17-7) gave up just two earned runs in six innings to pick up the win for St. Louis while Brandon Woodruff pitched only four innings and gave up two runs.  Jandel Gustave (1-1) took the loss in relief for the Brewers.   

 

The only runs for the Brewers came on a two-run home run by Luis Urius in the fourth inning.  It was Urius' 22nd home run of the season.

 

Milwaukee and St. Louis will play the second game of the series Wednesday with first pitch set for 6:45 pm.

A Christian Yelich RBI groundout and an Eduardo Escobar put the Brewers up 5-1 in the second inning. The Mets would chip away at the lead in subsequent innings eventually making it 5-4 before a pair of throwing errors clinched the game, the series, and the division in the sixth inning.

New week to start new chapter in Bucks organization

The Milwaukee Bucks G-League affiliate, the Wisconsin Herd, will enter a new era at the start of the week as they named Chaisson Alle the head coach at the start of the weekend. Alle will be the third head coach in the franchises history, and he comes to the Herd from his previous tenure as an assistant coach with the Long Island Nets, also of the G-League. It will be Alle’s second run with the Herd, as he was a Herd assistant during the 2019-2020 season. 

 

Alle replaces Chase Buford, who was the head coach in the 19-20 season, when the Herd finished with a league best record, 33-10. After the Herd didn’t participate in a 20-21 season due to the pandemic, Buford left in June to coach the Sydney Kings of the Australian National Basketball League.

Brewers hang on to beat Mets on Bob Uecker Day

The Milwaukee Brewers inched closer to clinching an NL Central title with a 2-1 victory over the New York Mets on Saturday. The win also came on a special day, as the Brewers honored longtime radio broadcaster Bob Uecker, who’s 87 years old, and has spent 50 years in the booth. 

 

In the bottom of the third inning, Eduardo Escobar hit a line drive single to left field that scored Willy Adames and Avisail Garcia and put the Brewers up 2-0. The next half-inning, the Mets scored a run to tighten the lead but no scoring occurred after that from either team. Brewers pitcher Corbin Burnes had nine strikeouts through seven innings, and earned the win on the mound.

 

The Mets and Brewers square off again on Sunday. The game will begin at 1:10 PM in Milwaukee. The Brewers are 93-62 so far this season and can clinch an NL Central Division victory with a win. 

Sevastopol football downed in weekend matchup

Being the lone area team to play a football game this Saturday, Sevastopol had a tough showing against Lena/St. Thomas Aquinas, losing 45-6. Lena/STA had just an 8-0 lead after the first quarter, but the doors were blown open in the second frame, when the Pioneers were outscored 22-0. Sevastopol was down 30-0 at halftime. 

 

In the third quarter, the deficit increased to 45-0 before Sevastopol finally got on the board in the fourth quarter. Emmett Tomaszewski scored the single touchdown for the Pioneers, on a 3-yard run. 

 

The loss drops the Pioneers record to 1-4 overall this season and their next game will be on Friday at home against Gillett. 

Abysmal offensive performance puts damper on Badgers game at Soldier Field

The Wisconsin Badgers defense did what they could to keep the football team in the game against Notre Dame on Saturday, but the offense couldn’t hold up their end of the bargain in the 41-13 loss. The contest was played on a neutral site, at Soldier Field in Chicago, which is the home of the Chicago Bears. 

 

Wisconsin led after one quarter, 3-0. Notre Dame climbed on top, 10-3, which ended up being the halftime score. In the third quarter, Wisconsin tied it back up on a touchdown pass from Graham Mertz to Kendric Pryor. The Badgers scored on a field goal in the fourth quarter to take a 13-10 lead, and then it all went downhill for Wisconsin

 

Notre Dame outscored Wisconsin 31-0 after Wisconsin’s fourth quarter field goal, including two interceptions returned for a touchdown in the final minutes. Badgers signal caller Graham Mertz had a disastrous performance, going 18 for 41 with 240 yards, a touchdown, and four interceptions. The Badgers are now 1-2 on the season and their next opponent will be the Michigan Wolverines on Saturday at Camp Randall. That game will be “Barry Alvarez Day,” and will honor the former athletic director and head football coach.

Packers back on primetime football on Sunday

The Green Bay Packers and San Francisco will renew their rivalry that’s had a good run in recent years on Sunday night. Unlike last year’s meeting, San Francisco will be much closer to full strength. The Packers won the 2020 matchup by a 34-17 final score. The teams most notable matchups in recent years came in 2019, when Green Bay and San Francisco topped the NFC standings. San Francisco throttled Green Bay 37-8 in the regular season and 37-20 in the NFC Championship game. 

 

Sunday’s game comes with an interesting backstory on the sidelines, as Packers head coach Matt Lafleur goes back with 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan. The two were on staff together in Houston, Washington, and Atlanta.

 

The Packers will be without star pass rusher Za’Darius Smith for the second week in a row, and on Saturday they placed tight end Dominique Daffney on injured reserve, and he’ll officially be out for at least three weeks. Perhaps the biggest loss for the Packers will be the absence of offensive line utility weapon, Elgton Jenkins. He’s listed as out for Sunday night’s matchup as he’s been filling in for David Bakhtiari for the beginning part of the season as Bakhtiari recovers from a torn ACL. It has not been determined who will be the starter at left tackle for Green Bay, but they’ll have their hands full with all-star pass rusher Nick Bosa. 

 

The Packers are 1-1 so far this season, and the 49ers are 2-0. Sunday’s game will begin at 7:20 PM. 

Badgers football taking part in special contest

When you typically watch your favorite football team play at Soldier Field, it’s a game between Green Bay and Chicago, but this Saturday the field will be taken over by the college ranks as the University of Wisconsin takes on Notre Dame.

Kickoff for the game is at 11:00 PM. 

Gamblers split in Pittsburgh

The Green Bay Gamblers continued their preparations for the upcoming regular season this weekend when they played two games in Pittsburgh’s UPMC Rink.

Green Bay also came back in the game from being down 2-1. The Gamblers fell to the Des Moines Buccaneers on Friday, 6-2. Green Bay opens their regular season at home in the Resch Center against the Dubuque Fighting Saints on October 2nd.

Milwaukee tacked on three runs in the third inning with a home run by Willy Adames that brought home Wong for his second run of the game. Christian Yelich also hit a homer to make the score 4-1.

A match-up between the conference's top two teams turned into a blow-out in the first half as Sturgeon Bay toppled Kiel on Thursday.

 

Spencer Hubbard helped set up the first goal with an assist to Gigstead five minutes in before Robert Alas knocked in his first of two tallies in the ninth minute. Ben Luders made it 3-0 in the 12th minute before the Raiders were able to get one past the goalkeeper. Alas got his second goal more than 20 minutes later to give the Clippers a three-goal lead heading into the break. 

 

Fernandez would score two goals between the 54th and 57th minutes before Alex Reeths finished the scoring for the Clippers with a score in the 67th minute. Puchalla would score the Raiders' second goal in the 75th minute to cap off the scoring.

Jones recovers memorable piece on a memorable night

After having a career game with four touchdowns, Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones was missing just one piece when he left the field on Monday night. After the 35-17 win over the Detroit Lions where Jones had 115 total yards and four scores, he confirmed that a medallion worn around his neck during the game containing ashes from his father was lost in the endzone after one of his touchdowns. 

 

Jones told reporters after the game that he knows his father, who passed away in April, is happy because if it was to be lost anywhere, the endzone would be the place to lose it. Jones confirmed by Tuesday morning that Packers trainer, Bryan Engel found the memorial piece at 1:45 AM on Tuesday morning. Jones added through his Twitter account that he’s forever grateful for the trainer’s effort. 

Packers find defense in second half, coast past Lions

The Green Bay Packers shut out the Detroit Lions in the second half while scoring three touchdowns of their own to win on Monday Night Football 35-17.

 

Things got out to a rocky start when Kevin King got beat on a deep ball to set up a five-yard touchdown pass to Quintez Cephus from Jared Goff to make it 7-0.

Brewers finish sweep of Indians

Packers get nothing going in season opener

The Green Bay Packers' starters faltered in their first real game action of the year, getting blown out at neutral site as the New Orleans Saints won 38-3.

 

The Packers did not score until time was expiring in the first half when Mason Crosby kicked a 39-yard field goal.  It was preceded by the Saints controlling the line of scrimmage defensively and scoring on a field goal and two of the five passing touchdowns by Jameis Winston. 

 

It went from bad to worse in the second half as Winston threw a touchdown pass in the third quarter and another two in the fourth quarter. The Packers threatened, but an Aaron Rodgers interception and a Jordan Love fumble killed two drives in the red zone. 

 

Rodgers had a forgettable day, throwing two interceptions in the second half en route to his fourth-lowest passer rating in his career before getting yanked in the fourth quarter in favor of Love. The running game was an afterthought, rushing the ball only 15 times for a total of 43 yards. The only saving grace: every other NFC North team lost on Sunday.

 

The Packers will try again on Monday Night Football next week when they play the Detroit Lions.

This tied the game at 2-2 and that's where the game would end when the full 80 minute ticked away. In the first half, Spencer Hubbard scored the game's first goal in the 35th minute of play and that gave the Clippers the lead heading into the half.

Brewers throttled by Philly

Bats went silent until the top of the eighth inning when Philadelphia scored seven runs to make the score 11-0. They would tack on one more in the ninth. The Brewers are now 84-55 and will host Philadelphia again on Friday at home at 6:40 PM. 

Wiemer Wows Wisconsin with Walkoff Homer

It couldn’t have been anyone else but Joey Wiemer for the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers on Sunday afternoon at Neuroscience Group Field.  The Rattlers outfielder was 0-for-5 and had left twelve runners on base in his first five at bats against Beloit Snappers pitchers in the game.  Wiemer got one more chance when he stepped to the plate in the bottom of the ninth with two runners on base and one out.  Wiemer made the most of this opportunity when he hit a three-run, walkoff home run to push Wisconsin past the Snappers 7-5.

 

The Snappers (49-59) rallied with two outs in the top of the second to score four runs and take the early lead.  Ricky Aracena blooped a single to shallow left to drive in the first run.  Then, Connor Scott cracked a three-run homer, his ninth of the season.

Wisconsin (52-55) scored a run with two outs in the bottom of the second.  Carlos Rodríguez dropped a single just fair down the line in left to score LG Castillo from third base.  The Rattlers would load the bases but stranded all three runners with Wiemer flying out to left to end the inning.

The duo of Aracena and Scott combined for another two-out rally in the fourth.  Wisconsin starter TJ Shook retired the first two batters he faced in the inning.  Then, Aracena tripled to right-center and Scott singled up the middle and the Snappers were up 5-1.

Wisconsin had rallied from three-run deficits to beat the Snappers in the first three games of the series and they had plenty of opportunities.

Beloit starting pitcher George Soriano turned that 5-1 lead over to his bullpen after five innings.  Soriano escaped the fifth inning by stranding runners at second and third after getting Wiemer to ground out.

The Rattlers loaded the bases against Justin Evans in the sixth but all three runners were left stranded when the inning ended on another groundout by Wiemer.

The Rattlers loaded the bases on two walks and single to start the bottom of the seventh.  They got a run home on a fielder’s choice by Alex Hall.  Evans got the second out and turned the game over to Jackson Rose.

Rodríguez greeted Rose with a single to left-center to score two runs and the Rattlers were within one run.  Wisconsin reloaded the bases on a walk to Felix Valerio only to see Rose get out of the inning with a strikeout of Wiemer.

In the eighth, Wisconsin threatened again.  Zavier Warren singled and Freddy Zamora doubled to put runners on second and third with no outs.  Rose escaped the inning with a strikeout, a flyout to shallow center, and a strikeout.

The winning rally in the bottom of the ninth started on a double by Rodríguez and a walk to Felix Valerio against Eli Villalobos.  The hit by Rodríguez was his fourth of the game, his first four-hit game of the season.

That brought Wiemer back to the plate and he didn’t wait.  Wiemer lined the first pitch from Villalobos over the wall in left-center for the three-run, walkoff homer to send nearly 5,000 fans in attendance home very, very happy.

Three Wisconsin relievers combined to pitch four scoreless innings out of the bullpen.  Brady Schanuel worked two scoreless frames.  Evan Reifert struck out the side in order in the eighth.  Cam Robinson pitched a perfect top of the ninth.

The Rattlers bullpen covered 23 innings in the six-game series with the Snappers and allowed three earned runs as the team went 5-1 with four comeback wins, including three walkoff victories over their in-state rivals.

Wiemer has hit 21 homers this season.  His blast on Sunday was his eighth with the Timber Rattlers.  He had thirteen with the Carolina Mudcats before his promotion to the High-A Central League. 

Sunday was also Wiemer’s third walkoff homer of the season.  He hit walkoff homers for the Mudcats on August 5 and August 7.

 

The Timber Rattlers are off on Monday.  They return to action on Tuesday against the Cedar Rapids Kernels at Neuroscience Group Field.  Game time is 6:35pm.

 

OT goal gives Phoenix women's soccer second victory

The Green Bay Phoenix women's soccer team needed a little extra time to get past Chicago State on Sunday.

 

Mckayla Kertscher scored her first goal of the season in the eighth minute to give the Phoenix the early lead. The Cougars would score in the 69th minute and the game would stay there after 90 minutes of action. Emily Murphy sent the Phoenix back on the bus in a happy mood with her first goal of the season in the 93rd minute.

 

They will have a few days off before playing Northern Illinois on September 9th at 5 p.m. 

Brewers walk off in grand fashion

The game and the series were in doubt until Dan Vogelbach stepped in to pinch-hit in the Milwaukee Brewers' thrilling 6-5 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals.

 

Before the bottom of the ninth inning, Pablo Reyes drove in the Brewers' only run with a solo shot in the second inning. The Cardinals would score three times in the fourth inning and add on another pair in the seventh inning to put the game seemingly out of reach. In the bottom of the ninth, Luke Maile started the rally with an RBI single to make it 5-2. A double and a walk later, Vogelbach in his return to the lineup took a 1-0 pitch to right field bleachers to give the Brewers the series win.

 

The Brewers' farm teams got into the fun as well with the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers walking it off with a three-run homer and the Carolina Mudcats copying the Brewers' feat with a game-ending grand slam.

 

The Brewers will stay in town to face the Phillies with a first pitch of 1:10 p.m. Monday. 

Clippers winless in The Prairie

This weekend's matchups at The Prairie School proved to be just as tough as facing the host school for the Sturgeon Bay Clippers soccer team.

The team will have another tough opponent when it returns to action on Tuesday. It will host Notre Dame at Clark Field with the first touch scheduled for 7 p.m.

Cornerback tandem inducted into Packers Hall of Fame

Once looked at as one of the best bump-and-run tandems in football, Al Harris and Charles Woodson are now both immortalized in Green Bay Packer history. A Packers Hall of Fame introduction ceremony was held on Thursday to honor both. Harris played for Green Bay from 2003 to 2010, and his most memorable play came in the 2003 wild card matchup with the Seattle Seahawks, when he intercepted a Matt Hasselback pass in overtime and returned it for a game-winning touchdown. Charles Woodson spent from 2006-2012 as a Packer and was also enshrined in the NFL Hall of Fame in August. Woodson was a leader for the 2010 Green Bay Packers Superbowl championship team.
