In a battle of two ranked teams, the Algoma football team suffered their first loss of the season on Friday, falling to Valley Christian 31-14.

Trailing 14-6 after the first quarter, the Wolves allowed the Warriors to score 10 unanswered points to lead 24-6 at the break. The Wolves outscored the Warriors 8-7 in the second half, but it was not enough to overcome the deficit. Head coach Wade Vandervest said after the game that the team made too many mistakes to overcome a quality opponent. 

For the Wolves, Ethan Melotte was limited to just 12 yards through the air and had to work hard to gain 79 yards on 26 carries without a score. Jacob Blahnik rushed for 78 yards and a score, while Jack Meverden scored the other on 44 yards rushing. Brady Walker led the defense with 14 tackles and a sack.

For the Warriors, Mason Everts had 33 yards through the air and another 18 on the ground, giving the keys of the offense to Sam Gloudemans, who rushed for 148 yards on 26 carries and three touchdowns. Noah Ekholm added 83 yards and a touchdown on the ground.

The Wolves are back in action on Friday when they host 3-1 NEW Lutheran at Perry Park at 7 p.m.

Valley Christian, 4-0, pulled away from Algoma, 3-1, on Friday night, handing the Wolves a 31-14 loss.
 

The Wolves got on the scoreboard first in the opening quarter, but Valley Christian answered with 14 points in the first and added 10 more in the second to take a 24-6 lead into halftime. Valley Christian continued to build its advantage in the third quarter, scoring seven more points to take a 31-14 lead.

Algoma fought to stay within striking distance, but the Wolves were unable to close the gap in the final quarter. Algoma's defense held Valley Christian scoreless in the fourth, but the deficit was too much to overcome.

The Wolves will look to bounce back next Friday when they host Green Bay NEW Lutheran/Providence at 7 p.m. at Perry Park.

The Algoma Wolves will face their stiffest test of the season thus far on Friday when they travel to Oshkosh to battle Valley Christian.

Ethan Melotte contributed to all six touchdowns in a 42-6 romp over Gibraltar on Thursday night for the Wolves. Melotte showed off his arm early with a 41-yard touchdown throw to Cooper Fay to make it 6-0 before he ran in for a score from five yards out on the next drive following a Vikings turnover to make it 12-0 in the first quarter. It was more of the same in the second quarter, but just from a little further out. Melotte connected with Fay on a third-and-long play for a 58-yard score following another forced fumble before cashing in on their final possession of the half on an eight-yard quarterback keeper. Melotte and the Wolves would extend the lead to 42-0 in the third quarter thanks to another pair of touchdown runs. Wolves head coach Wade Vandervest was happy with his team's effort and its ability to force the Vikings into some mistakes as they recovered three fumbles in the rout.

Similar to the Wolves, the Warriors have proven to be able to pile up the points, including a 59-0 win over Oneida Nation last week. Sam Gloudemans rushed for 145 yards on eight carries and caught two passes en route to three total touchdowns on the evening. Mason Everts has eight total touchdowns on the season, including four through the air among his 14 completions.

Kickoff is set for 7 p.m.

Another long road trip is in store for the Algoma Wolves football team on Thursday when they travel to Wausaukee to face the Rangers.

In their 44-6 win over Newman Catholic last week, the Wolves started fast with a 24-0 lead in the first quarter and never looked back. All of the Cardinals' points came in the fourth quarter with a running clock and the end result all but confirmed. Ethan Melotte only completed two passes, but they both were for long touchdowns as he accumulated 110 yards through the air. Melotte also added a team-high 75 yards and a score on the ground while Jack Meverden (73 yards, two touchdowns) and Jack Schwader (62 yards, one touchdown) added to the rushing attack. Cooper Fay caught both passes for the Wolves. The Wolves defense pounced on opportunities as well with two interceptions and one fumble recovery.

The Rangers opened their season with a 62-0 loss to Wild Rose.

Kickoff is set for 7 p.m.

The Algoma Wolves will have a tough draw to start their season when they play in Wausau against Newman Catholic.

The Wolves graduated All-Conference selections Parker Lischka, Lane Cochart, and Joey Cabino, but welcome back fellow All-Conference honorees Kaden Bielawski and David Tebon into the fold. The Wolves went 6-2 last season with one of those wins coming against state semi-finalist Oakfield.

You can find full results for all of the participating schools here.

Algoma can boast one of its own as the player of the year in softball as the Packerland Conference announced its All-Conference accolades for soccer, baseball, and softball earlier this week.

Natalie Ray shared Player of the Year honors with Kewaunee's Breanna Riha to go with her First Team Catch selection. Macie Zimmerman (First Team Pitcher),  and Amya Lukes (Honorable Mention) joined her on the squad. 

Charlie Prokash (First Team Pitcher), Braeden Leist (First Team Outfielder), Calen DeMeuse (Second Team Catcher), and Jacob Massey (Second Team  Utility/DP) were named to the All-Packerland Conference baseball team.

The Algoma softball team came up one win short of the WIAA State Tournament on Thursday, falling to Johnson Creek 8-0 in the sectional final.

The Buglass family did their part to ensure the Wolves heartbreak on the Blue Jays' home field. Leading 6-0 in the top of the sixth, Taylor Buglass homered to make it 8-0 for the final runs of the game. Tori Buglass had more than enough run support as she limited the Wolves to just three hits while striking out 12 across seven innings.

The Wolves' best chance to scratch across a run came in the bottom of the fourth inning when Natalie Ray doubled to put a player in scoring position for the only time in the game. Ryley Tweedy and Bristol Schmidt tallied singles while Macie Zimmerman was hit by a pitch for the only other base runners in the game for the Wolves.

Zimmerman took the loss in her final game for the Wolves, allowing eight runs (5 ER) on 13 hits and five walks while striking out five across seven innings. 

The Wolves end their season 15-10.

The Algoma softball team is one win away from advancing to the state softball tournament since going back-to-back seasons in 2012 and 2013 when they play on the road at Johnson Creek Thursday afternoon.

Macie Zimmerman was absolutely dominant Tuesday, throwing a complete game no-hitter as Algoma softball topped St. Mary's Springs 4-0 in a sectional semifinal matchup. Zimmerman didn't just dominate in the circle, though, she got things going offensively too, launching a two-run homer in the first inning to put the Wolves on top early. Amya Lukes went 2-for-2 at the top of the lineup and Ryley Tweedy added an RBI single to round out the scoring. As a team, the Wolves collected six hits working through eight strikeouts to push across four runs. Zimmerman struck out six across the complete game and retired the final batter on a groundout to complete the no-no and send Algoma to the sectional final.

The Bluejays' state drought is even longer as they have not returned to Madison since 2003. In their 2-0 win against Random Lake on Tuesday, Tori Buglass went the distance in the circle with 10 strikeouts while allowing no runs on three hits. She also did it at the plate with two hits while Libby Burbach's two RBI double was the difference in the win.

First pitch is set for 5 p.m. in Johnson Creek.
