The Algoma Wolves had their say in the Packerland Conference race on Thursday.

The Wolves posted a clean sheet against Gibraltar/Sevastopol on Thursday, beating them 3-0. It marked the second straight shutout for the Wolves, while the Vikineers saw their winless streak reach four matches. The Wolves are now 9-2-1 entering Friday's match against Luxemburg-Casco.

The Spartans enter the match playing their best soccer of the season, going 4-1-1 in their last six contests. That includes a 2-1 win over Little Chute on Tuesday.

Kickoff is set for 5 p.m.

The Algoma football team hopes a game against Oneida Nation/NEW Lutheran will right the ship Friday night.

The Wolves were the latest team to fall to first-place Lena/STAA 52-24. Grant Vandervest had most of his success through the air as he connected with Kaden Vardon for two scores while passing for 124 yards and rushing for another 61.

The United have struggled scoring points this season, including in a 42-12 loss to Suring last week. Bryce Liebzeit is the offensive leader of the United, rushing for over 340 yard and a pair of scores so far this season. 

Kick off from Oneida Nation High School is set for 7 p.m.

The Algoma soccer team will take their home pitch on Thursday with a match against Packerland-leading Gibraltar/Sevastopol.

The Wolves are 8-2-1 on the season, but only 2-2-1 in the Packerland Conference. They haven't lost since an opening season 1-0 loss to the Vikineers and a 3-0 defeat to Sturgeon Bay. The Wolves have won four straight with clean sheets posted against Kewaunee and Little Chute.

The Vikineers are the opposite of the Wolves, posting a 4-6-1 record, but they are 4-0-1 in Packerland Conference games. They went 0-2 in the Wrightstown Tournament but followed their 1-0 loss to NEW Lutheran by tying them a few days later on Tuesday 0-0.

Match time is set for 4:30 p.m.

The Algoma Wolves edged the Gibraltar Vikings in five sets in Fish Creek Tuesday night.  The Wolves won the close match 25-22, 26-28, 18-25, 25-16, 15- 10.  Rylee Zimmerman led the Wolves with 19 kills, 17 digs, and one ace.  MyLee Jones added 12 kills, 28 digs, and three aces.  Also, contributions came from Hannah Nell with 19 assists, eight kills, and one ace, and Amelia Robinson with 21 assists and three aces. 

The Algoma Wolves volleyball team look to win their sixth match in their last seven tries when Gibraltar sees them south of the county line.

The Wolves won four of its five matches during its home invitational last weekend, beating Crivitz, Sevastopol, Two Rivers, and Shiocton along the way. A 2-0 sweep at the hands of Bonduel was the weekend's lone defeat for the Wolves.

The Vikings have played since they actually played Algoma twice at the Hilbert Invitational, where the team went 3-2. The Wolves and Vikings split their two matches with Algoma winning the first one 2-1 and Gibraltar winning the second 2-0. 

Match time is set for 7 p.m.

The Algoma Wolves' football team was outscored 30-8 in the second quarter of its 55-24 loss to the Lena/STAA Titans Friday night.

Sam Marquardt put the Titans up 22-0 on three rushing plays before Kaden Vardon's second-quarter run of 43 yards provided a bright spot. The Wolves were driving again near the end of the quarter, but Marquardt picked off a pass and took the other way 98 yards for the Pick-6 touchdown. Marquardt would score once more for the Titans, but Grant Vandervest would answer back for the Wolves. He found Vardon twice through the air on long passing plays to make it 44-24 in the third quarter. Tyler Shallow capped off the scoring with his second touchdown in the fourth quarter.

The Wolves will look to get back on track on September 30th when they play at Oneida Nation/NEW Lutheran.

The Algoma Wolves may face their hardest opponent of the season on Friday when they host state-ranked Lena/St. Thomas Aquinas in Eight-Player football.

The Wolves bounced back from their loss against Gibraltar with a 48-14 victory over Gillett last week. Grant Vandervest scored five total touchdowns while throwing for over 100 yards and reaching 166 yards rushing. The Wolves ran for 429 yards total on the night as Issac Yunk (134 yards, 1 TD) and Kaden Vardon (88 yards) were also major contributors.

The Titans may be one of the toughest defenses in the state, having yet to give up a single point on the season. They have allowed just 259 yards this season, including just 37 yards rushing to run-heavy Suring last week in their 42-0 victory.

Kickoff is set for 7 p.m.

Savanna Daul and Vivika Meverden each set season records during their 5K race at the Bremser Invite in Mishicot on Thursday.

Daul ran a season-best 26:13 on the 5K course, while Meverden ran a personal best of 30:38. 

The Algoma soccer team will hop on a bus Tuesday afternoon to take on Cedar Grove-Belgium.

The Wolves are 4-2-1 on the season, but are 2-0 in non-conference matches. They tied their last match 2-2 against NEW Lutheran, which continued a five-match point streak. 

The Rockets had not won in their last six matches (0-5-1) before blowing out Eastbrook Academy 11-0.

Kickoff is set for 4:30 p.m.

The Algoma Wolves can hold their head high after dropping their Packerland Conference match to NEW Lutheran 3-1 Thursday night.

After losing the first game 25-11 to the tenth-ranked Blazers, the Wolves flipped the script in the second game, winning it 25-16. The Blazers turned up the heat from there, winning the final two games 25-16 and 25-10. 

For only the fourth time in their short Eight-Player football history, the Algoma Wolves will look for a bounceback win when they head to Gillett for their first Friday night game of the season.

The Wolves struggled to get their offense rolling against Gibraltar in a 42-8 defeat last Saturday. The team gained less than 150 yards including just 16 through the air. Head coach Wade Vandervest told NRSN's Jacob Nate after the game last week that they just have to reset and move on.

Despite the loss, the Wolves are still outscoring their opponents 110-76 and outgaining them on the ground 826-651.

The Tigers have lost two straight since their offensive explosion against Wausaukee in Week 1. Since scoring 55 points, they have scored less than 50 points since, including a 26-20 defeating to rival Suring last week.

The two teams battle Friday night at 7 p.m.

The Algoma boys soccer team will travel to Green Bay for a match against the Blazers of Green Bay NEW Lutheran/Providence Academy. 

Algoma (4-2 Overall, 1-2 Packerland), has been solid this season, as they are on a 4 game winning streak since losing to the two teams at the top of the Packerland in Gibraltar/Sevastopol and Sturgeon Bay. In that 4 game winning streak, the Wolves have outscored their opponents by an impressive score of 11-2. The Wolves will look to keep that up against a Blazers team that is fresh off of a loss to Kiel on Monday. 

The Blazers (4-4-1 Overall, 2-1 Packerland), have lost 3 in a row ever since beating Kewaunee 7-0. The losing has come against good competition, and NEW Lutheran/Providence Academy will look to get back to winning ways as they welcome in the Wolves. 

The match is set for 4:30 P.M. in Green Bay. 

The Algoma girls volleyball team will see the Blazers of NEW Lutheran/Providence Academy come to town in a Packerland conference matchup. 

Algoma (3-3 Overall, 1-1 Packerland), has built off of their good end to their season last year getting out to a .500 start on the year. Even when the Wolves lose, they have kept it close all year. Algoma has not been swept in any match so far this season and have only swept one team, with that being Oconto. 

The Blazers (12-4 Overall, 2-0 Packerland), have been strong in their opening matches so far this season, beating Kewaunee in 3 sets and going to 4 with Gibraltar, but still getting the job done. NEW will look to stay undefeated in the Packerland when they face the Wolves. 

The match is set for 7:00 P.M. in Algoma at Fulweiler Fieldhouse.  

Algoma’s cross country team will compete in a cross country meet in Sheboygan on Tuesday. 

Algoma’s Savanna Daul will run the course, and ran her best time at the time at her first meet at the Chief K Invitational on August 25th in Gibraltar. Daul ran a 31:30.0 then, and at her most recent meet in Algoma, she ran an improved time of 28:48.0 for a finish of 24th. 

The meet is scheduled for 4:30 in Sheboygan.

The Wolves (3-2 Overall, 1-2 Packerland), are on a 3 match winning streak and are looking to extend that against the Vikings on Tuesday. After beating Peshtigo, the Wolves had a tournament on Saturday and went 2-0 in their two games played. Denmark could be a chance for the Wolves to go to 4-2. 

Denmark (0-3 Overall, 0-2 NEC), has struggled out of the gate so far this season, being outscored in their 3 matches 14-2. The Vikings will have to get their offensive attack going if they want to match up well with the Wolves. 

The match is set to start at 4:30 P.M.

Two undefeated squads in the newly formed Peninsula Conference will go head to head Saturday afternoon when Algoma plays host to Gibraltar.

The Wolves have opened up 2-0 on the young season, winning soundly against Oneida Nation/NEW Lutheran and Wausaukee. Winning is nothing new for the Wolves, who have gone 16-3 since joining Eight-Player football. All three losses have come against eventual playoff teams, including the state-runner-up Newman Catholic in 2019. Head coach Wade Vandervest is thankful for the talented players he has had to coach during that their run in Eight-Player football to have that kind of success.

The Vikings also enter the game 2-0 after convincing wins against Sevastopol and Suring. They were a miscommunication on a blocked kick away from posting two shut-outs on the season. Winning the Peninsula Conference means beating an Algoma team that has not been done before and a challenge head coach Mike Peck knows his team is prepared for.

Both teams have twin threats that can hurt you in multiple ways in Algoma's Grant Vandervest and Kale Vardon and Gibraltar's Rylan Caldecott and Brady Kita. All four players lead their respective teams in multiple offensive categories.

Jacob Nate and Reece Robillard will have the call on 105.1 The GOAT and NEWRadioSportsNetwork.com beginning at 1 p.m. with the pregame show followed by the new kickoff time of 1:15 p.m. You can click the links below for the full interviews with head coaches Wade Vandervest and Mike Peck

The Algoma Wolves volleyball team earned a hard-earned sweep of the Oconto Blue Devils on Thursday.

The Wolves topped the Blue Devils 25-20, 25-16, 25-20. Leading the way for the Wolves were Amelia Robinson (17 Assists, 1 Ace), Ryley Zimmerman (27 Digs, 10 Kills, 1 Ace), MyLee Jones (20 Digs, 8 Kills, 2 Aces) and Hannah Nell (6 Assists, 6 Kills, 1 Ace). 

The Wolves are back in action on Thursday against NEW Lutheran.

One of Algoma or Peshtigo will get their first conference win Thursday night as the Wolves and Bulldogs match up in a Packerland conference game. 

Algoma is 0-2 coming into the game, both losses coming from conference games against Gibraltar/Sevastopol and Sturgeon Bay. The Wolves have only given up a combined 4 goals in those two matchups, losing to the Vikineers on a penalty kick the first game of the year. The Wolves have not scored a goal all season, but that could change tonight against Peshtigo. 

The Bulldogs are 0-2 in the Packerland as well, but have picked up a win in non-conference this season. That one win came against NEC opponent Marinette 2-1, but the win was pancaked between a loss to NEW Lutheran/Providence Academy 4-0 and Gibraltar/Sevastopol 2-0. 

The match is set for 4:30 in Algoma. 

The Algoma Wolves lost a 5-Set thriller to the West De Pere Phantoms on Tuesday night, and are back on the floor tonight against the Oconto Blue Devils. 

Don’t let the Wolves’ 2-3 record fool you, they appear to be a team that will compete with almost everyone in the Packerland Conference this year. After losing their last two to Peshtigo and the nailbiter to West De Pere, Algoma is hoping that they can play upset to the reigning Conference Champions Oconto. 

Oconto’s record is similar to Algoma were they’ve played some great competition, leading to the Blue Devils’ 2-11 overall record, but a 1-0 conference record. Oconto has been playing against some steep Fox Valley competition, but was in 3 close sets against Gibraltar before eventually sweeping them. 

First serve is set for 7:00 P.M. in Oconto. 

The lone wolf ran with the pack Tuesday afternoon as Algoma hosted its annual invitational. 

Algoma's Savannah Daul finished the course in a time of 28:45 for the 5K distance on the hilly Peterson Park course.

The Algoma Wolves battled the West DePere Phantoms Tuesday at home but fell 3-2 in a close match.  West DePere won with scores of 25-20, 25-14, 22-25, 20-25, and 15-13.  The Wolves fought back from a two-match deficit but lost in a nail-biter in the final set.  Ryley Zimmerman led the Wolves with 16 kills, 18 digs, and one ace.  Amelia Robinson had a strong floor game with 15 assists and one kill, while Hannah Nell chipped in 14 assists and six kills.  MyLee Jones also had ten kills, 19 digs, and two aces.  Algoma will now travel to Oconto to play the Blue Devils on Thursday.  

Saturday's matchup against Gibraltar will feature two high-powered offenses after the Algoma Wolves topped Wausaukee last Thursday 54-22.

The Wolves scored five touchdowns before the Rangers scored any points before the two teams would trade scores the rest of the way. 

Kaden Vardon and Grant Vandervest did the bulk of the damage for the Wolves, combining for two passing touchdowns and another six scores on the ground. Vandervest ran for 161 yards and three touchdowns and caught another four balls for 121 yards and a score. Vardon rushed for 164 yards and three touchdowns as well, but threw for 146 yards and a score.

A long 60-yard touchdown from Luke Smith to Nathan Shaw provided the Rangers their biggest highlight of the evening. 

The Algoma Wolves volleyball team will step outside of Packerland play on Tuesday when they host West De Pere.

The Wolves saw their two match winning streak get snapped last week when the lost to Peshtigo 3-1. They are 2-1 against non-conference opponents this season.

The Phantoms have an identical 2-2 record with all of their matches coming in tournament play. They lost their opening match at the Notre Dame Invite over the weekend against Xavier 2-0.

The match begins at 7 p.m.

Peterson Park will be the scene Tuesday afternoon for when Algoma hosts its annual cross country meet.

Competing against the Wolves will be Crivitz, Denmark, Gibraltar, Lena, NEWCHAA, Oconto, 
Providence Academy/NEW Lutheran, Reedsville, Sevastopol, Southern Door, Sturgeon Bay, Suring, Wausaukee and Wolf River Lutheran. The meet will also feature junior varsity and middle school races when the first gun fires at 4 p.m.

Southern Door's Ben Grota nearly won the boys' race last year, running a 20:43 on the 5K course to take second place. It was won by NEWCHAA's Isaiah Martens as the only runner to finish the course in under 20 minutes. Sevastopol edged Sturgeon Bay 33-39 in the girls' race to win the meet with the Pioneers' Bea Dramm outkicking the Clippers' Julia Kurek to capture the individual title.

The Algoma football team will play their second straight Thursday night game this season when Wausaukee comes to Perry Field.

The Wolves' Kaden Vardon (two rushing, one receiving) and Grant Vandervest (two rushing, one passing) scored three total touchdowns each) to lead the team to a 48-12 victory over Oneida Nation/NEW Lutheran/Providence Academy last week. In a rushing clinic for both teams, Algoma outgained their Green Bay-area rivals 329-246 as they gained over seven yards a carry.

The Rangers were down 36-8 at halftime before rallying to force overtime in their 52-50 loss to Gillett last week. 

Kickoff is set for 7 p.m.

The first conference matchup of the year for the Algoma Wolves comes at home against the Peshtigo Bulldogs. 

After a challenging 2-6 season in Packerland conference play, the Wolves ended it on a high note, upsetting packerland conference team Southern Door in 3 sets in the opening round. The Wolves appear to possibly be building off of that, with a 2-1 start in tournament play this season. 

Peshtigo began their season with 10 matches in tournament play, splitting those games evenly, going 5-5. A 3rd place season for the Bulldogs last season was something for them to continue into this season, and a good benchmark for the Wolves for how much they have improved for this season. 

First serve is set for 7:00 P.M. in Algoma. 

The Algoma Wolves soccer team will face off against a ready Sturgeon Bay Clippers team on Thursday night after narrowly losing their first match 1-0 to the Vikineers last Thursday. 

Algoma, who had a challenging year last season, looked much improved in their match against Gibraltar/Sevastopol, will look to play upset against the Clippers of Sturgeon Bay. Garrett Voight of the Vikineers scored the game-winning goal against Algoma on a penalty kick to win that game 1-0 for Gibraltar/Sevastopol. 

Sturgeon Bay is 2-2-1 on the season after once again challenging themselves in their non-conference schedule. With very close losses to teams like Notre Dame and Pulaski, it appears that Sturgeon Bay will once again have a strong case for a deep run once again. 

The match is set for 4:30 P.M. in Algoma.
