Pulaski High School’s football team has faced several obstacles this season.

Taking on the state’s top running back is next on the list.

The Red Raiders advanced to the third round of the WIAA state playoffs Oct. 30 with a 10-7 win over Kaukauna. Pulaski will now take on Kingston Allen and Notre Dame in a Division 2 Level 3 game at 7 p.m. Nov. 6 on the Tritons’ home field in Green Bay.

It’s been more than 20 years since Lena High School’s girls cross country team made back-to-back trips to state, placing seventh in 2001 and fourth the following year in Division 3.

The Wildcats were back at the WIAA State Cross Country Championships for the first time since 2002 and made the most of the opportunity by placing ninth out of 16 Division 3 teams Oct. 31 at The Ridges Golf Course in Wisconsin Rapids.

Five individuals represented five area schools Oct. 31 at the WIAA State Cross Country Championships in Wisconsin Rapids.

Among the local runners heading to The Ridges Golf Course were Pulaski’s Maggie Gerth (Division 1); Shawano’s Josiah Kuehl, Menominee Nation’s Bryant Waupoose III and Oconto Falls’ Lily Meissner (Division 2); and Suring’s Natalie Seibert (Division 3).
