The Kimberly track team hosted a triangular last Monday afternoon alongside Fox Valley Association foes Oshkosh West and Appleton West to get its spring season underway.
The girls were paced by a school-record 149 feet, 1 inch throw in the discus by Kayla Behnke, which beat Emily LaCount’s then-record 139-1 from 2015.
The Kimberly girls’ soccer team moved to 3-1-1 after two wins and a draw this past week. The Papermakers routed Appleton West 10-0 on Tuesday before a draw on the road at Fond du Lac. Kimberly then closed out the week with another blowout, this time 8-0 at home against Pulaski in a non-conference match.
After the dust cleared on Sunday – and it was a fun Sunday with multiple games featuring playoff-seeding implications – the Milwaukee Bucks ended up with the No. 3 seed in the Eastern Conference and will face the Miami Heat, who made Milwaukee look silly in the bubble playoffs last year.
The Kaukauna boys’ golf team travelled to Royal St. Patrick’s in Wrightstown Wednesday and came back with this year’s Heart of the Valley Invite title on the ever-difficult links course.
That was the highlight of the week, however, as the Ghosts’ win was sandwiched between two Fox Valley Association dual losses.
The Ghosts began last week with a road loss at West De Pere, but responded with back-to-back wins on Tuesday and Thursday before losing to Kimberly Friday afternoon.
The day before Kimberly’s win at the Ghosts, Jake Huntington started and went 4 1/3 shutout innings, scattering three hits and striking out five, while Al Leitner went 2 2/3 scoreless in relief as the Papermakers shut out Neenah in a 4-0 win.
A first inning rally, which featured the Papermakers putting together a string of hits and base runners — compounded by two Kaukauna errors — gave Kimberly a 5-0 lead it never relinquished in a road win over the Ghosts at Bayorgeon Field Friday afternoon.
Kimberly began its week with a loss at Kaukauna, but then strung two wins together — at Appleton West and at Hortonville (in dramatic fashion) — before losing a non-conference game to Green Bay Preble to close out the week.
Kaukauna’s one-run win over Kimberly began last week, but the Ghosts went right back to work with games on Wednesday and Thursday and three more on Saturday. The only loss of the week came Wednesday evening against Oshkosh West.
