The Green Bay Packers were sellers at the trading deadline on Tuesday, by trading cornerback Rasul Douglas along with a fifth-round pick to the Buffalo Bills for a third-round pick in 2024. General Manager Brian Gutekunst announced the transaction Tuesday prior to the 3:00 p.m. NFL deadline for trades.
Douglas played 36 games and started 28 of them in the regular season for the Packers after signing as a free agent during the 2021 season after playing for the Arizona Cardinals.
For the second year in a row, St. Norbert almost grabbed an exhibition upset, only to be thwarted by Green Bay in the closing minutes by a 65-63 margin.
The Green Knights showed the importance of experience early in the contest, weathering the athleticism of the new-look Phoenix while building a lead that would grow to as high as ten points before settling on five points.
A Phoenix run in the middle of the half would give them a lead they would not give up, but they still needed a stroke of luck. Timely fouls and missed free throws gave the Green Knights a chance at a miracle, but a three-pointer at the buzzer rimmed out, preserving the win for the Phoenix.
The close Phoenix victory prevented both teams from emptying the bench to get their players some action, including former Gibraltar product Will Friedenfels.
Monday's game was the only exhibition on the calendar for the Phoenix, as they will open the regular season at Iowa State next Monday. The Green Knights will open their regular season next Wednesday with a home game against Ripon.
You can start your Thanksgiving on a healthy note in Sister Bay again this year.
The Door County Fitness Studio in Sister Bay will hold its fifth edition of the race. You can participate in the race for free, but all proceeds from t-shirt/sweatshirt sales and additional donations will go to the Friends of Gibraltar.
The race starts at the Door County Fitness Studio on Thanksgiving morning at 8:30 a.m.
The Green Bay Blizzard continues to add onto their roster ahead of their season opener this spring.
DB Dedrick Vanover and WR Tamarick Vanover Jr. were announced as the team's newest signings. The two players are brothers, though only Tamarick comes to the Blizzard with previous indoor football league experience.

Green Bay fans wonder if General Manager Brian Gutekunst will give them tricks or treats before the clock hits 3 p.m. on Tuesday.
The NFL trade deadline is 3 p.m. on Tuesday, although past trade deadlines have not inspired much movement on the Packers' part the last few seasons. Many of the rumors have Packers selling rather than buying. Fox Sports' Jay Glazer says the Packers are looking at adding a running back to spark a slumping offense that has averaged less than 10 points in the first half over the last five games. Linebackers Preston Smith and De’Vondre Campbell and offensive lineman Yosh Nijman were all listed as potential players that could be considered on the move by Sports Illustrated as the organization continues to whittle down its 2024 cap number.

Playing at home made no difference for the Green Bay Packers as another slow start doomed them in a 24-10 loss to the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday.
The Packers' offense barely reached the century mark in first-half yardage for the second week, failing to pick up a first down until four minutes left in the second half. They would pick up five first downs on their lone scoring drive, ending with a 30-yard field goal by Anders Carlson, only made possible because of a Vikings penalty. The Packers were lucky to only be down by seven at the break after Kirk Cousins engineered two scoring drives, including a touchdown run by Cam Akers.
The Vikings continued their dominance in the third quarter, with Cousins throwing two touchdown passes in two minutes, including one that came on the heels of a Jordan Love interception. A one-yard touchdown grab by Romeo Doubs capped off the scoring for the game despite the Packers having the ball inside the Vikings' 25-yard line twice in the fourth quarter. The Packers failed to take advantage of the uneven play of Jaren Hall, who came in relief of Cousins, who saw his season end with a torn Achilles.
The Packers will try to salvage what is left of the season with another home game on Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams.
A familiar face for Door County basketball fans will be on the visiting bench Monday night when Green Bay hosts St. Norbert College in an exhibition matchup.
As has been the case for the last three seasons, the Phoenix featured an almost entirely new roster after the departure of former coach Will Ryan. The team will also feature an almost entirely new coaching staff, with Sundance Wicks landing the job after working at Wyoming, Northern State, Northern Illinois, Colorado, San Francisco, and Missouri Western. Over the weekend, the program announced a six-part docuseries on their upcoming season called "362," embracing their end-of-season ranking out of 363 teams. The Phoenix have failed to win ten games in the last two seasons.
The Green Knights are coming off a 20-8 season, which included Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference regular-season and tournament championships and a first-round NCAA Tournament win—the season ended with a close 75-71 loss to Wheaton College in the NCAA Division 3 Tournament's second round. The Green Knights' Gary Grzesk is familiar to Phoenix fans as a defensive stalwart on some of the Phoenix's most successful teams. Their roster includes a lot of local talent, none more local than Gibraltar's Will Friedenfels. The Baileys Harbor product was an All-Packerland performer for two of the more successful Vikings teams in the program's history, including an appearance in the 2022 state semifinal. He is one of eight freshmen on the team.
The Phoenix and Green Knights will meet at the Kress Center at 7 p.m.
After two nail-biting victories on Friday and Saturday, Sunday's 5-1 victory over the Muskegon Lumberjacks was suitable for the stress levels of the Green Bay Gamblers.
Lev Katzin opened the scoring in the first period with his fourth goal of the season. The Lumberjacks would return the favor early in the second period, only to see the Gamblers score the next four goals. Libor Nemec scored twice, while Geno Carcone and Landen Gunderson provided the other tallies in the victory. Gavin Moffatt stopped 23 of the 24 shots he faced.
The Gamblers are back in action on Friday in Geneva, Ill., when they take on the Chicago Steel for a weekend set.
Home cooking will have to be what it takes to get the Green Bay Packers off their three-game slide when they play the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday.
The Packers were sent into their current tailspin after being roughed up by the Detroit Lions in front of a raucous Honolulu blue crew at Lambeau Field almost a month ago. The Packers have since lost to other teams that have struggled to open the season (Las Vegas and Denver) on either side of a bye week. Finding the offense will be key as they are currently ranked in the league's bottom tier in passing and rushing yards.
The Vikings find themselves looking up at the Packers in the standings but got a healthy dose of confidence last week when they ran away with their victory against the San Francisco 49ers 22-17.
A bipartisan crowd is expected for the Packers/Vikings matchup when it kicks off at Lambeau Field at noon on Sunday. The Packers will play three of their next four games at Lambeau Field.
The Green Bay Gamblers won their second straight game in Michigan on Saturday night, winning 6-5 in a shootout against the Muskegon Lumberjacks.
Jayson Shaugabay's first-period tally and second-period goals by Blake Bechen and Jason Gallucci gave the Gamblers a 3-2 lead entering the third period. After Geno Carcone gave the Gamblers their fourth goal, the Lumberjacks responded with three goals in three minutes to take a 5-4 lead. Bechen's second goal with under 10 minutes remaining forced overtime that would end scoreless. Julian Lutz was the only player on either side to register a goal in the shootout to give the Gamblers the extra point. Adam Gajan had 38 saves in the contest.
The two teams will duel again on Sunday at 2:10 p.m.
Kewaunee's Hannah Miller, Southern Door's Ben Grota, and Luxemburg-Casco's Kyan Lynts and Claire DuChateau ran in their final races of the season on Saturday at the WIAA State Cross Country Meet in Wisconsin Rapids.
Miller finished the Division 3 Girls Race in 17th place with a time of 19:55 in the 5K race. She tried keeping up with the pack in a speedy first mile, covering the distance in a time of 6:02. Miller averaged 6:26 per mile. Autumn Michalski of Chequamegon won the race in a time of 18:02.
Grota covered the course in the Division 3 Boys Race in a time of 17:27, averaging 5:38 per mile to come in 46th place overall. Iola-Scandinavia's Charlie Vater won the meet with a time of 15:49, building a lead early as the only runner to break five minutes in the race's opening mile.
In the Division 2 Boys Race, Lynts ran a time of 17:16, which was good for 53rd place overall. Edgewood's Noah Kuhn won the race with a time of 15:50, setting the tone early with a 4:51 opening mile, one of 12 to break five minutes in the first stretch of the race.
In the Division 2 Race, DuChateau broke the top 40 with a time of 20:04 and a 38th-place finish. Northland Pines' Nora Gremban won the race in a time of 17:46.
Gibraltar cross country runner Logan Mittermann earned All-Conference honors earlier this month, but another recognition he earned may be even more impressive.
The Gibraltar Viking Cross Country Facebook page highlighted Mittermann's heroic tale through the lens of "Door County regular" and North Chicago Assistant Police Chief Gary Lunn. In his retelling, Lunn says Mittermann came charging out of the Ephraim Firehouse Marina office Labor Day weekend and leaped into the Eagle Harbor waters when he heard a dog and its owner struggling to get out. Mittermann was able to get both the owner and his dog back to shore safely. On October 10th, Mittermann was honored by Ephraim Village President Michael McCutcheon and Village Administrator Brent Bristol for the act.

Four local runners are preparing to run at the WIAA State Cross Country Championships at The Ridges Golf Course in Wisconsin Rapids.
In Division 2, Kyan Lynts of Luxemburg-Casco ran a time of 16:46.2 to lead all local runners with a fifth-place finish in the New London Sectional to earn his spot. His teammate on the girls' side, Claire DuChateau, ran a time of 19:31.3 to finish in the top 10 and clinch her own spot in the state meet. Lynts will run at 12:35 p.m., while DuChateau will compete at 2:25 p.m.
In Division 3, Southern Door's Ben Grota took third place overall at the Manitowoc Lutheran Sectional with a time of 16:46 to punch his ticket to the state meet. Kewaunee sophomore sensation Hannah Miller qualified for the state meet with a second-place finish and a 5K time of 19:24. Grota will run at noon and Miller will start at 1:45 p.m.
An overtime goal helped the Green Bay Gamblers ward off the Muskegon Lumberjacks 3-2.
After a scoreless first period, Julian Lutz and Lev Katzin staked the Gamblers to a 2-0 with goals in the second period. The Lumberjacks would force overtime with two goals of their own in the third period. Halfway through the extra stanza, Chris Romaine's first goal of the season helped the Gamblers secure the weekend opening win.
The Gamblers and Lumberjacks are back at it Saturday night at 6:10 p.m.
The Friday Night Lights shined brightly for two of the three local teams competing in the WIAA State Championship playoffs.
The #1 Kewaunee Storm blew past the #4 Cedar Grove-Belgium Rockets 42-7 at home in Division 6 on 104.1 WRLU.
In Luxemburg, the #2 Luxemburg-Casco Spartans dominated the # 3 Kiel Raiders 41-0 in Divison 4 action on 96.7 WBDK.
In Division 5, the #2 Southern Door Eagles fell to the #3 Wrightstown Tigers 21-6 at home on U102.1.
With just a couple of weeks before the first practice, Sturgeon Bay High School is going to the district office to fill its girls' basketball head coach position.
Sturgeon Bay District Administrator Dan Tjernagel was named the girls' head varsity coach at Wednesday's district board meeting. Tjernagel is not a stranger to the hardwood, not only as a coach but as a player. He has coached at the youth level in recent years and at the high school level during other stops in his work history. In 2017, he was named to the Wisconsin Lutheran College Hall of Fame after a career that saw him set the school's all-time scoring record after he poured in a school-record 647 points. According to the athletic department's website, he left the program as the school's fifth all-time scorer. In a corresponding move, Mark Felhofer was named his assistant coach.
The move was needed after last year's varsity coach, Casey Harrington, resigned.
Tjernagel becomes the second district administrator to take on a head coaching role this school year after it was announced that Kyle Luedtke would head up the Sevastopol boys' basketball program. It is also part of the coaching carousel that occurred this offseason with head coaching changes for the Gibraltar girls and Luxemburg-Casco boys and girls programs.
The Sturgeon Bay Clippers saw their run in the WIAA Soccer Tournament come to a close on Thursday in a 4-1 loss to Xavier in Appleton.
The sloppy conditions on the pitch made for some interesting play in the first half that found the Clippers down 2-1 at the break. Kayden Klotz was responsible in the contest for the Clippers, scoring just before the break to cut the lead in half. The Hawks would increase that lead in the second half to clinch a spot in the sectional final at St. Mary Catholic on Saturday. Max Mirhashemi sent the Clippers sailing with a hat trick to lead the Hawks.
The Clippers end their season 13-7-4 with a regional title and a Packerland Conference championship added to their trophy case.
The Green Bay Gamblers look to bounce back from a rough weekend with a road trip to Michigan to take on the Muskegon Lumberjacks.
Last weekend, the Gamblers dropped both games of its series against the Fargo Force, On Friday, the Force were 3-6 on the power play as they shut out the Green Bay Gamblers 4-0 at the Resch Center. The Gamblers registered 27 shots on goal for the night. Saturday night featured a third-period goal by the Gamblers but not much else in a 2-1 loss. The Force again converted 50 percent of their power play chances in the victory. The Gamblers are 2-4 this month.
The Lumberjacks 4-1 on the month, including a weekend sweep of Team USA in their last action. Matvei Gridin leads the USHL in 16 points (nine goals, seven assists).
The two teams will play at 6:10 p.m. Friday and Saturday before playing a 2:05 matinee on Sunday.
Luxemburg-Casco, Southern Door, and Kewaunee will all have their chances to advance to Level 3 of the WIAA Playoffs in games featured on the NEW Radio Sports Network.

The road to Milwaukee continues Thursday afternoon for the Sturgeon Bay Clippers soccer team when they battle Xavier.
The Clippers cruised through the regional round last week with a 7-2 victory against Kewaunee and a 5-0 clean sheet against Gibraltar/Sevastopol. Aldo Rangel led the Clippers with five goals across the two games, including a hat trick in the regional final against the United. The Clippers recently placed eight players on the All-Packerland Conference teams, including Player of the Year and unanimous First-Team selection Ben Stephens.
The Hawks enter the matchup as the sectional's second seed. They finished the season 20-3-0, including a 9-0 win against Omro and a 1-0 nailbiter over Wrightstown in their two regional games. All three Hawks' losses came against regional champions in this year's WIAA Soccer Tournament (St. Mary Catholic, West De Pere, and Notre Dame).
Bryan Mazur and Peter Kerwin will have the call on U-102.1 and NEWRadioSportsNetwork.com from Appleton beginning at 4:15 p.m. with the pregame show followed by the kickoff at 4:30 p.m. The winner of the game will go on to face the winner of #1 St. Mary Catholic and #4 Kiel.

The Green Bay women's basketball kicked off their season Wednesday night with a dominant 74-36 exhibition victory against UW-Stout.
Every Phoenix player was able to enter the game to assist in the win, limiting the Blue Devils to just 23 percent shooting from the field and outrebounding them 40-23. Maddy Schreiber led the way with 13 points. Natalie McNeal and Callie Genke added 12 points apiece, and Cassie Schiltz chipped in 11 points.
The exhibition was a homecoming for Blue Devils coach Hannah (Quilling) Iverson, who was a part of one of the most successful stretches of Phoenix women's basketball in program history.
The Lady Phoenix will have another exhibition contest next Wednesday against Northern Michigan before opening the regular season at Northern Iowa on November 6th.
Going to a Green Bay Gamblers means seeing some of the best young players in the sport, and the National Hockey League has noticed.
The NHL Central Scouting has placed six Gamblers players on their preliminary watch list just a couple of weeks into the United States Hockey League season. Those players are Eli Sebastian, Artyom Levshunov, Ben Poitras, Will Zellers, Christian Kirsch, and Aidan Park.
Five of the six are on the active roster, and those players all have committed to college for their post-Gamblers days.
The Gamblers will spend the full weekend in Muskegon, playing three games in three nights against the Lumberjacks beginning on Friday.
The three local schools were well represented on this season’s Peninsula All-Conference 8-Player Football Team, with Algoma Wolves running Back Grant Vandervest garnering the Offensive Player of the Year award.
Gibraltar led the way with three players named for six First Team all-conference selections, while Algoma had two players and Sevastopol had one.
Junior quarterback/defensive back Brady Kita of Gibraltar made the First Team both ways despite missing the last few games with an injury; senior offensive end/Defensive Back Braden Sitte and offensive lineman/linebacker Marshall Maltby also made the first team for both sides of the ball as well. Sitte also claimed unanimous First Team for the placekicker.
Algoma’s Vandervest received a unanimous first-team selection for running back in getting the Offensive Player of the Year, as well as second-team defensive back, while Wolves’ senior Mason Melohn was named First Team defensive lineman.
Sevastopol’s Sophomore Logan Schuh made first-team punter for the Pioneers.

The Green Bay Blizzard continues to build their roster ahead of the season opener in the spring.
The Blizzard recently re-signed DL Rafiq Abdul-Wahid, WR Mike Green Jr., and DB Shawn Steele II for the 2024 campaign.
According to the Blizzard, Abdul-Wahid put up 12.5 tackles, 3.0 tackles for loss, 1.5 sacks, and a blocked kick in eight games last season. Across 12 games, Steele registered 43.5 tackles, two tackles for loss, three interceptions and six pass breakups. Green had 17 receptions for 165 yards and two touchdowns.
The Indoor Football League is teasing a big announcement to happen sometime on Tuesday:
With the majority of the area's fall sports teams out of their respective WIAA Tournaments, the focus for some of the athletes is being turned to the upcoming winter season.
November 6th marks the first-day girls' basketball teams can return to work along with the state's hockey and gymnastics teams. On November 13th, wrestling, boys' basketball, and boys' swimming can begin their practices.
Currently, Southern Door football, Kewaunee football, Luxemburg-Casco football, Sturgeon Bay soccer, Door County United swimming, and the area's four state cross country qualifiers are the only ones still alive in their respective WIAA State Series events.
After initially balking at signing an extension with the Milwaukee Bucks earlier this year, star player Giannis Antetokounmpo has committed to the team that drafted him.
Reports say that Antetokounmpo signed a $186 million extension that will keep him in Milwaukee for another three years. According to ESPN, the contract puts him in sync with Damian Lillard's tenure with the team and gives him another chance at free agency in 2025.
Antetokounmpo has won the league MVP twice and the Finals MVP award in 2021.
The Bucks open their season on Thursday against the Philadelphia 76ers.
There was plenty of local flavor in the Packerland Conference's announcement of the All-Conference teams.
The conference players of the year all hailed from the area in all three sports. For football, Kewaunee's Braxton Riha swept the lineman of the year awards while his teammate Owen Carlson won the offensive player of the year award while Southern Door's Will Jandrin captured the honor on the defensive side of the ball. For soccer, Sturgeon Bay's Ben Stephens was named the Player of the Year while his classmate Nida Zukauskaite won it for volleyball.

GOALKEEPER &am
The Green Bay Gamblers could not add a blemish to the Fargo Force's perfect record, losing both ends of their weekend set against the Western Conference leaders.
On Friday, the Force were 3-6 on the power play as they shut out the Green Bay Gamblers 4-0 at the Resch Center. The Gamblers registered 27 shots on goal for the night.
Saturday night featured a third-period goal by the Gamblers but not much else in a 2-1 loss. The Force again converted 50 percent of their power play chances in the victory.
The Gamblers will spend the full weekend in Muskegon, playing three games in three nights against the Lumberjacks beginning on Friday.
Despite having an extra week to prepare and one of their big offensive stars back in the fold, the Green Bay Packers saw their record drop to 2-4 after losing to the Denver Broncos 19-17 Sunday evening.
The Packers only had 100 yards in the first half with three punts and a missed field goal to their credit. The only saving grace was the Packers' defense, which limited the Broncos to three field goals to send the two teams into the locker room, with Denver only holding a nine-point lead.
The Packers finally scored one on their first drive of the second half when Anders Carlson made good on his earlier sin and drilled a 29-yard field goal. The offense would pick up its pace in the third quarter with the Broncos' Russell Wilson and the Packers' Jordan Love throwing touchdown passes to make it a 16-10 game at the end of three quarters.
The Packers would take a slim 17-16 lead when a pass deflected off the hands of Romeo Doubs somehow found its way to Jayden Reed in the endzone. The defense would bend until the Broncos made a 52-yard field goal to give them a 19-17 advantage, but the Packers had over three minutes to work with. It would not mean much as Love would throw into double coverage for a long interception for the second week in a row.
The Packers will have to hope its home energy will not give way to skol chants as they return to Lambeau Field next Sunday to face the Minnesota Vikings for a noon start.
A record fell during Saturday's Fall 50 on a cool day through the peninsula.
The five-member Grayslake Distance Project covered the 50-mile course in 4:35:35, a new course record for the relay, as the runners averaged 5:31 minutes per mile. For comparison, the average time for five-person teams was 7:53:28.
BBMC won the pairs relay with a time of 6:06:13, while Zach Ziesemer won the solo event with a time of 6:04:11. Over 4,000 runners participated in the event, with thousands more enjoying the fall foliage while dodging raindrops along the way.
Four local runners will make their way to the WIAA State Cross Country Meet in Wisconsin Rapids.

Sturgeon Bay competed in the meet, with Julia Kurek and Luke Selle leading their respective squads.
In Manitowoc, Southern Door's Ben Grota took third place overall at 16:46 to punch his ticket to the state meet. On the girls' side, Kewaunee sophomore sensation Hannah Miller qualified for the state meet with a second-place finish and 19:24. Algoma, Gibraltar, and Sevastopol competed at the sectional.

The Sturgeon Bay Clippers matched their previous efforts against Gibraltar/Sevastopol United on a chilly Saturday night at Clark Field with a 5-0 win to claim the WIAA Regional Championship.
Aldo Rangel registered four points in the matches, scoring a hat trick (7th minute, 25th and 51st) while providing the assist on Will Estes' tally in the 19th minute. Kayden Klotz scored in the 21st minute on an assist from Jackson Starr, who helped control the United from his right-back position.
The win gave head coach Todd Maas his fifteenth regional championship as the Clippers' leader.
The Clippers will head to Appleton to face off against Xavier in the sectional semifinal. Bryan Mazur will have the call on U-102.1 and NEWRadioSportsNetwork.com.
The Luxemburg-Casco volleyball team could not solve Fox Valley Lutheran's defense for a second straight match, falling to the Foxes in the regional final 3-0 (24-26, 19-25, 19-25).
The match left head coach Jeff Frey proud of his team and tipping his cap to his fellow NEC opponent. "Congratulations to Fox Valley Lutheran. They were relentless, and every time we made a run, they came right back at us. I’m proud of the fight our girls showed. I am beyond proud of our girls. They are all amazing young ladies. We had a great season, and I am blessed to be able to call myself their coach."
Leading the way for the Spartans in their final match of the year was Alayna Deprez (32 assists), Aubrey Frey (15 kills, ten digs, two blocks), Miranda Schmidt (7 kills, three blocks), and Payton Kaminski (18 digs).
The Green Bay Packers will start the second half of their season after an early bye against the Denver Broncos.
The Packers have scuffled the last two weeks in losses to the Detroit Lions and the Las Vegas Raiders, with Jordan Love showing the inconsistency many expected from the first-year starter. The hope is the return of Aaron Jones in the lineup will present more opportunities in the passing game, with a more reliable running game waiting in the wings.
The Broncos have also had their own problems this season, with their lone win coming against the Chicago Bears in comeback fashion. Their low point of the season came in the league's opening month when the Miami Dolphins delivered one of the first 70-point games in decades.
The Packers and the Broncos meet at 3:25 p.m. on Sunday.

The state took the first step to throw a lifeline to the Milwaukee Brewers to improve their field and keep them in Wisconsin until 2050 with a crucial vote on Tuesday.
The state Assembly approved a $546 million funding plan to make a wide range of improvements to American Family Field, from new seats and video board to winterizing the facility to make it more year-round. The state will contribute $411 million to the deal, funded allegedly by the payroll taxes contributed by players and employees who work out of American Family Field. Milwaukee County and the City of Milwaukee will contribute $135 million, while the Brewers will chip in $100 million, which is about the equivalent of what they make through revenue sharing.
In exchange for paying less, the Brewers will have to offer discounted tickets to Wisconsin residents once a month during the baseball season, similar to their current Five-County Celebration honoring their former arrangement with the area that primarily funded and benefited from the old Miller Park deal. The organization will also double its contribution to youth sports organizations from $20,000 to $40,000.
The deal must still be approved by the Senate and signed by Governor Tony Evers.

The Green Bay Packers hope the bye week came at the right time for them as they get back to work.
The Packers return to the fray after losing their last two games to the Detroit Lions and the Las Vegas Raiders. The loss to the Raiders was especially concerning to Packers fans as Jordan Love had his worst game as a pro, while the run game proved to be anemic at best. A bright spot has been the defense, which, according to SportsNaut.com, has allowed the seventh-lowest conversion rate on third downs (34.7%) and the 12th-lowest average QB rating (84.9).
The Packers will head to Denver for a Sunday matinee against the 1-5 Broncos.
The Green Bay Blizzard will welcome back one of its stalwarts on the offensive side of the ball next season.
The Blizzard announced late last week that it was re-signing offensive lineman Trent Clark for the 2024 season.
According to the Green Bay Blizzard, Clark is entering his second year in the Indoor Football League after joining the team in free agency in September 2022. He started at center in all 15 games for Green Bay last season. He was an integral part of an offensive line that blocked for an offense that finished fifth in the IFL and third in the Eastern Conference in offensive yards per game. The Blizzard offensive line gave up only eight sacks in 2023, which tied for second-least in the league.

Less than one week after adding a running back and dropping a linebacker to the roster, the Green Bay Packers reversed course on Tuesday.
The Packers cut running back Patrick Taylor and resigned linebacker Jason Hollins to the active roster on Tuesday.
Prior to the Monday night game with the Las Vegas Raiders, the Packers had activated Taylor from the practice squad and released the Hollins.
The move may be a sign that running back Aaron Jones will be healthy after the bye week after sitting out the Raider game with a hamstring issue.
The Packers are also down two inside linebackers this week with both DeVondre Campbell and Quay Walker nursing injuries.
Taylor played in Monday's game and had two yards rushing on two carries.
Gibraltar got the week started off on the right foot in advance of a busy slate of volleyball matches on Tuesday.
The Vikings defeated Oconto 3-1 (27-25, 25-18, 20-25, 25-22) ahead of their match on Tuesday at home against Peshtigo.

No score was reported from the Kewaunee/Algoma match, but Gibraltar/Sevastopol was able to avenge a loss earlier in the season in a 2-1 victory in Green Bay on Friday.
Tuesday's action includes Algoma hosting Clintonville at 4:30 p.m. and Luxemburg-Casco playing at home against Fox Valley Lutheran.
The Green Bay Packers will enter their bye week on a two-game losing streak after losing to the Las Vegas Raiders 17-13 on the road Monday night.
The Packers opened the scoring with a field goal from Anders Carlson only to have the Raiders score the next 10 points to make it a 10-3 lead at halftime. The Packers would grab the lead in the third quarter thanks to an A.J. Dillon touchdown run and another field goal. The Raiders took the lead early in the fourth quarter when Josh Jacobs scored a touchdown on a two-yard run.
Jordan Love had his worst day as a pro, throwing a trio of interceptions, including one in the endzone during the Packers' final drive that ended the comeback attempt. Dillon rushed for 76 yards and the only touchdown on the day for the Packers. Rudy Gay provided one of the other highlights for the Packers, intercepting a pass that set up the Packers' lone touchdown.
The Packers will next play at Denver on October 22nd.
The Door County YMCA will be the site of Door County United's senior night meet versus Seymour High School.
Last week, the girls defeated Shawano High School 136 to 33 total points. DCU took 1st place in every varsity and junior varsity event during the meet.

The Packerland Conference will hit its final sprint on the soccer pitch this week with several games scheduled for Monday.
The 4 p.m. matinees include Sturgeon Bay visiting Peshtigo, Kewaunee hosting Algoma, and Gibraltar/Sevastopol heading to NEW Lutheran.
The area's soccer teams did get more clarity for their postseason after seed meetings took place on Sunday. Below are the playoff matchups for each team.
DIVISION 3
(11) Luxemburg-Casco at (6) Kewaskum on October 19th
DIVISION 4
(16) Algoma vs. (17) New Holstein at 4 p.m. on October 17th

The Gibraltar Vikings and the Oconto Blue Devils could not wait until Thursday for their matchup, instead opting to play on Monday.
The Vikings snapped a season-long losing streak in the Packerland Conference and a three-match skid in their last match, topping Sevastopol 3-1. The team is playing some of their best volleyball of the season, taking at least one set in each of their last six matches after being swept five times before that.
The Blue Devils have split their last eight matches, including a four-set loss last week to NEW Lutheran in their only action of the week.
The opening serve is set for 7 p.m.
The Green Bay Packers will head to Las Vegas for a Monday night tilt against the Raiders.
Thousands in Honolulu blue looked comfortable at Lambeau Field two Thursday nights ago as the Detroit Lions built a 24-point halftime lead en route to a 34-20 win over the Packers. Their makeshift offensive line struggled against the Lions' front four, something that could remain an issue even with Elgton Jenkins returning to practice late last week.
The Raiders have struggled their way to a 1-3 record. Jimmy Garoppolo is coming back from a concussion after giving way to Aidan O'Connell who led the Raiders to a 24-17 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. The Raiders have not won since their week one victory to the Denver Broncos.
One matchup that is stealing headlines is former Packers wide receiver Davante Adams and cornerback Jaire Alexander. Both players are nursing injuries that kept them off the practice field until Friday when they were both listed as limited participants.
Kickoff is set for 7:15 p.m.
The Green Bay Gamblers had a rough return to a normal USHL schedule last weekend, losing to the Dubuque Fighting Saints on the road Friday night 9-0 and at the Resch Center 4-3 on Saturday.
In their 9-0 loss, the Fighting Saints took advantage of eight power plays, converting four of them while outshooting the Gamblers 37-20 on the night. The game featured over 100 penalty minutes with the Gamblers accumulating 66 of them.
In their 4-3 loss, the Gamblers were down 2-0 heading into the third period when Ben Poitras broke the weekend-long scoring drought. They would trade goals with their visitors for the rest of the period, with Luke Baker and Jake Duer scoring their first goals of the season.
The Luxemburg-Casco volleyball team picked up valuable experience on Saturday, playing in the Dasher Invite hosted by Divine Savior Holy Angels.
They dropped both of their matches in pool play, losing to Chippewa Falls 29-31, 25-14, 13-15, and DSHA 16-25, 10-25. They responded in the bronze bracket, beating Whitefish Bay 25-13, 25-11 and Kettle Moraine Lutheran 25-16, 26-28, 15-11.
Leading the way for the Spartans were Alayna Deprez (90 assists, 22 digs), Aubrey Frey (28 kills, 48 digs, 7 aces), Jacinda Bennett (23 kills, 5 blocks), Ella Vander Velden (18 kills), Miranda Schmidt (17 kills), and Payton Kaminski (41 digs, 5 aces).
Head coach Jeff Frey was happy with how his team performed, adding that he "really liked the way we battle in our match against a really good Chippewa Falls team. It's why we head south so much, to play good competition. We got better today which is what you’re looking for this time of the year."
The Luxemburg-Casco soccer team scored early and often on Friday, shutting out Peshtigo 5-0.
Reese Barbiaux and Johan Amador teamed up on three of the first four goals as the former had a brace before the halfway point of the first half. Amador would end the game with a hat trick, including a pair of goals within two minutes of each other to kick off the second half. Zak Patek scored the other goal after providing the assist for Amador's first goal.
Carson Koller was not challenged much in the contest, ending the match with one save.
The Sevastopol Pioneers stood out amongst a tough field at the Russ Fameree Invitational hosted by Luxemburg-Casco Friday afternoon, winning the top spot amongst small schools.
The host Spartans were the top local school overall in the standings, taking fifth among boys' teams and third among girls' teams. The Pioneers finished fourth overall, but first among those with a smaller enrollment.
Individually, Kewaunee's Hannah Miller continued her dominating season with a time of 19:16 to capture the girls' race title. Kewaunee's Christopher Cullen and Luxemburg-Casco's Kyan Lynts ran a nearly identical time with Cullen coming out ahead by hundredths of a second.

The Indians have lost three straight since beating Peshtigo on September 8th, a skid that includes their own blowout to Kewaunee and a much closer defeat to Bonduel last week. They have been held to a eight points or less in four of their previous seven games.

The Central Division Champion Milwaukee Brewers are one game from elimination in the Wild Card round of the Major League Baseball playoffs after falling 6-3 to the Arizona Diamondbacks in game one of the three-game series at American Family Field on Tuesday night.
Brewer starter Corbin Burnes struggled giving up three home runs in four innings of pitching as Milwaukee could not hold on to an early 3-0 lead.
An RBI single in the first inning by Carlos Santana scored Christian Yelich to give the Brewers the lead and Tyrone Taylor crushed a two-run homer down the left field line in the second inning to get things off to a good start. It was all Arizona after that, as the Brewers squandered several scoring opportunities all night long stranding 11 runners on base.
Arizona was led in hitting by Joey Carrol who had two hits including a home run, and Christian Walker had three hits and two RBIs including a big double in the ninth inning off Brewer closer Devin Williams to extend the Diamondback lead to 6-3.
The Brewers and Diamondbacks will play game two Wednesday night as Milwaukee looks to starve off elimination and force a game three on Thursday. Freddy Peralta will get the call on the mound with Zac Gallen pitching for Arizona. First pitch is set for 6:08 p.m.
The Sturgeon Bay Clippers continued their streak of conference perfection on Monday to lead the night's soccer action.

No results were posted from the Algoma/Peshtigo match. The Wolves and the Clippers are supposed to play Tuesday at 4:30 p.m. in Algoma as a make-up from the original date of September 28th.

The Luxemburg-Casco golf team is one round away from participating in the WIAA State Meet.
The Spartans shot a 460 on a dreary day in Luxemburg last week to qualify as a team, finishing 94 strokes behind regional champion Notre Dame Academy and 23 strokes behind second-place Fox Valley Lutheran. Morgan DeJardin shot a team-best 106 with Bowie Bredael right behind her with a 108. The scores put DeJardin and Bredael in the top 10 overall in the regional. Katie Ledvina (122), Reese Bandow (124), and Marissa Annoye (141) will also play in the sectional meet.
The Notre Dame Sectional at Thornberry Creek is set to begin at 9 a.m. Bonduel, Denmark, Fox Valley Lutheran, Kettle Moraine Lutheran, Little Chute, Marinette, N.E.W.

Conference matches are the theme for much of the remaining schedules for the area's high school soccer teams, including Monday's slate.

Other fixtures scheduled for Monday include Algoma hosting Peshtigo (4 p.m.) and Kewaunee visiting Gibraltar/Sevastopol (6:30 p.m.).
The WIAA Tennis Tournament begins on Monday, but it will do so without a squad representing Kewaunee.

The Green Bay Phoenix basketball teams will hit the court for their second full week of practices.
Both men's and women's basketball held their first official practices last week, although both teams have been in the gym and the weight room getting their work in over the last few weeks.
While the women's team added a familiar face to its coaching staff, there has been enough change for the men's program already. Only three players and a couple of staff members are back with the program after going 3-29 last season and was ranked 361 out of 363 Division 1 basketball programs. Head coach Sundance Wicks has not just been focusing on X's and O's but the culture that has taken a hit since the pandemic began. Since the 2020-2021 season, the Phoenix are 16-71. The program has been trying to capture that shift in culture on its social media channels.
The Phoenix women play their first exhibition against UW Stout on October 25th while the men battle St. Norbert's on October 30th.
