Shawano’s boys wrestlers enjoyed a great night on the mats with the Hawks winning all three nonconference duals at home Dec. 4.

The Hawks defeated Oconto 58-12, Bonduel 55-12 and Ashwaubenon 52-24. The only losses for Shawano were forfeits due to injuries.

“I really liked the way the kids fought tonight,” coach Mike Homan said. “In competitive matches, they continued to fight and move forward in their attacks.”

Shawano’s girls wrestling team faced some tough competition at Bay Port on Dec. 4, with coach Stacey Homan noting the team has things to work on. The Hawks fell in all three matches – 53-12 to Bay Port, 45-21 to Neenah and 48-21 to Bonduel.

The Bay Area Ice Bears improved to 4-0 while handing Lakeshore Lightning its first loss of the season in a 4-0 shutout Dec. 4 at the Ozaukee Ice Center.

After a scoreless first period, Elizabeth Bunker scored 40 seconds into the second stanza with an assist by Addison Dahl. Lily Lyons then assisted Aisling Buchan when she scored at 3:15.

After opening the season with losses to Menominee Nation and Kewaunee, the Oconto Falls girls basketball team hoped to turn the tide in its North Eastern Conference opener.

The Waupaca Comets had other plans, however.

The Comets scored 21 of the game’s first 23 points and cruised to a 59-23 win over the Panthers on Dec. 2 at Waupaca High School.
