The Algoma football team shook off the rust in its first game in two years Friday, losing to Florence 14-6.

Florence did all of its scoring in the first half, finding the endzone on a pair of running plays. The Wolves finally got on the scoreboard in the third quarter on a one-yard touchdown carry by Carter Zimmerman. He finished the day with 77 yards rushing and 85 yards passing. Three players had double-digit tackles on the night, including 15 from Kaden Vardon. 

The Algoma volleyball team will play matches for breakfast when they open their season in Reedsville Friday morning.

The Wolves lost their only All-Packerland player Hannah Wiese to graduation last season.

Chilton, Kiel, Mishicot, Ozaukee, Roncalli, Two Rivers, and Winnebago Lutheran Academy are also scheduled to participate when play opens at 8:30 a.m. 

The Algoma Wolves girls' cross country team opened their season on Thursday at the Chief Kahquados Invitational.

The Wolves did not field a boys squad, so the five-member girls' team had to figure out the course on their own without feedback from the previous race. Savanna Daul ran a 27:30 5K time, which was good enough to lead the Wolves and take 68th overall. The Wolves finished in 11th place with a team score of 260.
