Two high school football teams heading in opposite directions met Oct. 8 in Bonduel.

Although Sturgeon Bay held Bonduel to 13 points in the second half, the undefeated Bears headed into the third quarter with a 56-0 lead and cruised to a 69-0 Packerland Conference win over the 1-7 Clippers.

It was a long shot, but the Wittenberg-Birnamwood football team still had a chance to qualify for the upcoming WIAA playoffs heading into its Central Wisconsin Conference-Large matchup with Marathon.

The Red Raiders, however, headed to Wittenberg for the Chargers’ final home game of the season Oct. 9 and returned home following a 34-14 win.

The end zone turned out to be a familiar place for Croix Gardebrecht.

The Oconto Falls running back had five rushing touchdowns for the Panthers Oct. 8 in a 39-7 Packerland Conference win over Southern Door.

He wasn’t the only area player with a big night on the football field, as Mason Borseth’s 18-yard field goal with 14 seconds to go snapped a 14-14 tie and gave Pulaski a 17-14 win over De Pere on Oct. 9.
