The Spartans are also 0-2 overall, 0-1 in conference losing last week at Hortonville 21-6. L-C was able to move the ball on the Polar Bears, but couldn't find the end zone.

This program was developed from fan feedback over the past few seasons.

The Packers really know how to grow loyal fans. As training camp ends and the Green Bay Packers season gets underway, I can't help but think about all the kids (and adults) who will go to bed every night dreaming about their favorite team and players. First, and regardless of all the heat I'm going to take for this, I have to admit that, at heart, I am a Chicago Bears
fan. But what the Packers do for their fans is truly unlike an other team in the NFL.
While my female characteristics may take over when it comes to this, I get goose bumps and teary-eyed every time I see a big Packers player riding some kid's little bike to or from Don Hutson Field for practice. What an amazing experience for those kids! Those are memories the adoring young fans will keep forever. If a Bears player rode my bike after practice when I was a kid, I'd probably still be riding it today. In fact, I'll bet training camp is where most kids figure out who their favorite players are, based on their experience there. Chances are, those youngsters will keep an eye on that player for their entire career.
If I wanted to check out Bears training camp, I'd had to travel about an hour south of Soldier Field just to see how my team was preparing for the season. Packer fans must only head down Oneida Street to see favorites like Brett Favre, Donald Driver and A.J. Hawk. In fact, the Packers even provide bleachers and port-o-potties for their loyal fans.
Aside from that, young fans can enjoy the Packer Experience and inflatables that are set up around Lambeau Field during training camp. Let's not forget Family Night, when the
Packers open Lambeau Field to their adoring fans for a scrimmage. Then in the off-season, there's Fan Fest. The three-day festival is an event that truly utilizes the Packers facility to its full potential. At the fest, fans line up to get autographs and photos from Packer players, listen to and watch players and coaches being interviewed on the main stage and check out merchandise from Packers vendors. How much more up-close-and-personal can you get?
All this in one season and it's no wonder Packer fans are so obsessed with their beloved team. Tail gaters set up early for Sundays games and the sea of green & gold both inside and surrounding Lambeau means this is nothing new for Packer fans; it's tradition. The Packers haven't been Superbowl Champs for over a decade now, but that doesn't seem to bother the fans, they still bleed green and gold. It seems a Packer fan's passion and love for their team seems to grow with every season, whether they're winning or finish (4-12).
What's your favorite Packers memory? I want to hear about it. Email me at Klement@DoorCountyDailyNews.com

The Door County Baseball League Championship was a crowd pleaser with 19 runs scored. Kolberg was the regular season champion and they earned the right to host yesterday's game. The shaughnessy playoff final ended 11-8, as Kolberg's bats were too much for West Jacksonport. The battle was between 12 and 2 Kolberg and 11 and 3 West Jacksonport. The squads split their regular season games, so this cleared up any questions of who the real champion was this summer.
Adam Bretl had a no hitter going through seven innings for the Braves. Dale Neinas came into the contest in the eighth inning and the Ports banged out six quick runs. The Braves defense did enough to preserve the lead and was crowned champions in front of a large crowd.
The title is Kolberg's fourth since l974. Playoff championships were earned in 1995 and 1996 and then in 2002. Derek Raye, Chris Wiery, Bob Tenor and Chris Delarwelle all hit homeruns for the Braves. The losing pitcher was Joel Delorit. Pitching for the Ports in relief was Ryan Tanck. They were led offensively by Jim Larson who hit a homerun in the contest.

The Green Bay Packers claimed fullback John Kuhn off waivers, placed running back Noah Herron on injured reserve and signed seven players to the practice squad yesterday. The transactions were announced by Ted Thompson, Executive Vice President, General Manager and Director of Football Operations.
Claimed on waivers from Pittsburgh, Kuhn played nine games with the Steelers in 2006. The second-year pro from Shippensburg (Pa.) spent the 2005 season on the Steelers’ practice squad.
Signed to the practice squad were wide receiver David Clowney, wide receiver Chris Francies, tight end Clark Harris, linebacker Spencer Havner, tackle Orrin Thompson, quarterback Paul Thompson and running back Corey White.

The Green Bay Packers released 20 players, placed three on injured reserve and traded for another player yesterday. Ted Thompson, Executive Vice President, General Manager and Director of Football Operations announced the transactions.
The biggest surprise cuts announced by Thompson included cornerback Patrick Dendy, fullback Brandon Miree, kicker Dave Rayner, safety Marquand Manuel, and 2007 fifth round draft pick wide receiver David Clowney.
Others released were tight end Zac Alcorn, defensive end Larry Birdine, wide receiver Shaun Bodiford, wide receiver Chris Francies, linebacker Tim Goodwell, tight end Clark Harris, linebacker Spencer Havner, linebacker Rory Johnson, guard Travis Leffew, safety Alvin Nnabufie, wide receiver Calvin Russell, guard Adam Stenavich, tackle Orrin Thompson, quarterback Paul Thompson and running back Corey White.
Safety Tyrone Culver, linebacker Abdul Hodge and guard Tyson Walter were placed on injured reserve.
The Packers acquired running back Ryan Grant from the New York Giants for an undisclosed future draft pick. Grant, a graduate of Notre Dame, spent the 2005 season on the Giants’ practice squad and the 2006 season on injured reserve.

The Jacksonville Jaguars released Sturgeon Bay graduate Nick Greisen yesterday. The team needed to cut 19 players including quarterback Byron Leftwich, traded RB Alvin Pearman to Seattle for an undisclosed draft choice, and placed two players - DE James Wyche (groin) and WR Mike Walker (knee) on injured reserve. The other veterans included in cuts were G Dan Connolly, S Jamaal Fudge, LB Nick Greisen, DT Seth Payne, WR Charles Sharon, CB Bruce Thornton and CB Dee Webb.
The Jaguars’ roster now stands at 53 players. The team can sign eight players to their practice squad after 12:00 noon today. Of the 53 players, 34 were drafted by Jacksonville including 27 from 2003 through 2007. This marked the first season under head coach Jack Del Rio that no undrafted rookies made the initial 53-man roster.

Greisen has the opportunity to sign with any team. If no NFL teams show interest, Greisen may elect to join a team's practice squad. While on a practice squad that would give the Sturgeon Bay native the opportunity to learn a new defense and wait for his opportunity to crawl back on a 53 man roster.

Nick is engaged to be married and has ties to the Jacksonville area. He recently played at Lambeau Field and was greeted by 30 to 40 adoring fans after the game. If Greisen were to be signed to a 53 man roster the move would likely come within the next 24 hours.
