The Kaukauna girls golf team is headed back to state for the third year in a row. The Ghosts took second at last week’s Bay Port invitational with 348 strokes with Charlie Clinefelter and McKenna Lowe both posting scores in the top 10 at Thornberry Creek.
The Kimberly and Kaukauna rivalry was also renewed in girls volleyball last week as Ava Reis dominated on the court for the Papermakers. The senior had 20 kills in Kimberly’s win over the Ghosts.
The Little Chute defense has stepped up big the last four games and their win over Luxemburg-Casco last week was another example. The Mustangs had two interceptions, but the offense struggled to capitalize on their scoring chances in the win.
