The Packerland Conference Wrestling season will include three quad meets. With the loss of Denmark and Luxemburg-Casco, the Packerland was left with just four teams. Wrestling
programs for Kewaunee, Southern Door, Oconto and the co-op of
Sturgeon Bay and Sevastopol are all that remains in what was a
highly regarded six program conference dominated by L-C. Assistant wrestling coach at Sturgeon Bay, Joe Stutting says the new scenario is unfortunate for all parties involved. The Packerland was seeking another conference to take in their four schools to make a conference tournament and conference awards legit. Stutting described his thought on the Packerland Conference for wrestling.
(Audio Here)
The
Olympian Conference turned down the Packerland's request to join
their schools. Stutting said they used the travel excuse as the main
reason the agreement would not work.(Audio Here)
If a wrestlers manages a (3-0) season in the new Packerland Conference they would be awarded a first team all conference status. A one-loss season would likely be second team all conference, according to Stutting. The conference tournament has been canceled and all schools have struggled to fill their schedules. The Sturgeon Bay wrestling assistant coach would like to see the WIAA step in and force another conference's hand in allowing the Packerland into a new conference. The 2007-2008 season will be remembered as one where the Packerland Conference was left in the dark. It is unfortunate because a lot of hard working, determined and superb athletes compete in Packerland Conference wrestling.

The Green
Bay Packers have signed quarterback Craig Nall and released safety
Marviel Underwood. Ted Thompson, Executive Vice President, General
Manager and Director of Football Operations, made the announcement
Saturday.
Nall, originally a fifth-round pick by Green Bay in 2002, spent four
seasons (2002-05) with the Packers. A 6-foot-3, 230-pound player,
played with the Buffalo Bills in 2006 and has spent time with the
Bills and Houston Texans in 2007. He will wear number 16.
The move comes after Brett Favre separated his left shoulder and
severely bruised the forearm area around the ulnar nerve in his
right arm. Aaron Rodgers filled in for Favre in the 2006 season and
broke his foot in the first series of play. Rodgers finished that
game against the Patriots last year, however, he is not known for
great durability.
The pickup is a natural fit for Nall and the Packers. He knows the
base sets for the offense and terminology that the green and gold
use. There will be a much shorter learning curve with Nall in
comparison to signing a player with no experience in Packers camp.

The Packerland Conference opener in varsity boys basketball between Southern Door and Sturgeon Bay was an entertaining match up. The Eagles, playing without senior Derik Hawkey because of a code violation, got out to an early lead and held on for the win. The Clippers fell behind early but erased a ten point deficit with 1:30 left in the second quarter. The one point lead for the Eagles would expand into as many as 14 on the way to a 47-40 victory.
Southern Door was led by Michael Blizel with 18, Derek Taussel with 16 and Jared Spude with nine points.
The Clippers were led in scoring by sophomore Tanner Dvorak with 11 points. Nick Scaturo scored nine, Nate Felhofer added five and Simon Rabas finished with six. Sturgeon Bay will play a non-conference game Tuesday night against Luxemburg-Casco. The game will be simulcast on 96.7 FM and 104.1 FM.

Packerland Conference play opened last night in Kewaunee with a 48-45 win for Oconto. The Kewaunee squad had a short turn around from their run to the state football playoffs and looked a little rusty to begin play. The Blue Devils moved to (2-0 overall, 1-0 in conference) and nearly gave up a 10-point fourth quarter lead.
Kewaunee's Achilles heel was their inability to make east shots. They managed to shoot 17-of-57 from the floor. Charlie Olson led Oconto with 15 points, and Antowan Epps and Logan Ellman added nine. Mark LaTour led Kewaunee with 12 points, while Tyler Thompson added 11.
Algoma began the conference season with a convincing win over NEW Lutheran 50-35. The Wolves are looking to recapture a Packerland Conference Small Division Championship. Eric Ackerman led the way with 13 points and Brett Beckmann did the dirty work with 11 rebounds. The win puts Algoma at (1-0 in conference and 1-1 overall).
It took overtime to decide the game between Sevastopol and Gibraltar. The 61-58 final featured a Cam Fuller free throw in the closing seconds to propel the Pioneers to victory. It was a great game and nearly went into a double overtime period. Fuller finished with 17 to lead Sevastopol. Gibraltar's Alex Larsen has 15 points and Dusty Johnson scored 14.
