A North Eastern Conference championship is not in the cards this season for the Oconto Falls volleyball team.

Luxemburg-Casco wrapped up at least a share of a conference title Oct. 7 by winning three of four games on the Panthers’ home court. Oconto Falls fell to 5-2 in North Eastern matches, while the Spartans improved to 7-0.

Ellayna Skarban recorded 10 attack kills and Chloe Schroeder tallied 27 assists as Suring defeated Wausaukee 3-0 on Oct. 7.

Game scores were 25-10, 25-17, 25-17.

Skarban added two digs, and Schroeder had one attack kill and one dig.

Lexis Remic contributed seven attack kills, four digs, a blocked kill and an assist. Aliya Cox had nine attack kills, three blocked kills, three digs and an assist.

The Oconto Falls cross country teams dominated the Red Maple Country Club course at the Suring Eagles Invite on Oct. 7.

The girls won with 24 points, followed by Lena/St. Thomas Aquinas Academy with 47, Oconto with 60 and Coleman with 96.

The Panthers grabbed six of the top 10 finishes, including Emma Meissner’s first place in 20:59.4 and Lily Meissner’s second place in 21:01.0.

In Division 2 action at Crystal Springs Golf Course in Seymour, the Oconto Falls golf team placed ninth among nine teams to bring an end to their season.

The Panthers scored 432. Seymour won the sectional title with 370.

For the Panthers, freshman Riley Borkovec tied for 19th with 100. She was joined by seniors Kylie Thompson and Addy Kuth with 106 each, and senior Katelyn Kurek with 120.

Junior Lilly Wagner carded a 122.

The De Pere Redbirds notched a 3-0 conference win over the visiting Pulaski Red Raiders on Oct. 7.

After a scoreless first half, De Pere pulled away in the second half with three unanswered goals. Anson Fawcett broke the deadlock in the 47th minute, and the Redbirds added goals in the 63rd and 64th minutes.

To the casual football fan, an extra point might not seem like a big deal.

Don’t tell that to the Oconto Falls Panthers or coach Mark Jonas, however.

Isaiah Radart’s fourth extra point turned out to be the difference in the team’s 28-27 home win over Shiocton on Oct. 3 at ST Paper Stadium.
