The Green Bay Glory kicked off its roster release with a familiar face for Kewaunee County soccer fans.

 

Kewaunee native and former Algoma soccer player Haakon Utesch was the first player announced for the Green Bay Glory's 2025 roster after the organization announced its schedule last week. Utesch led the Glory to promotion in its inaugural season. This year, Utesch will take on an additional role with the team as its goalkeeping coach. This builds on his coaching experience at the college ranks as the goalkeeping coach for the men's and women's programs at Concordia University.

 

 

The Glory also announced that McKayla Legois will return to the team as she has since 2019. The men play in the Midwest Premier League's First Division beginning on May 3rd against Czarni Jaslo Chicago at the Banta Bowl in Appleton while the women will stay in the Women’s Premier Soccer League. They will open their season on May 17th at the Banta Bowl against Milwaukee City AFC.

 

 

The Algoma track team stuck to the field events in their outing at Oconto Falls on Tuesday.

 

John Kirchman (shot put), Braden Crewe(high jump), and Wyatt Fay won their respective events as five Wolves finished in the top three. Ellie Reif paced the girls with a second-place finish in the pole vault while Sylvia Toebetook fourth.

The Algoma Wolves boys basketball team turned a two-point half-time deficit into a 71-58 win over Iola-Scandinavia on Friday night to earn a date against Southern Door Saturday night.

 

The Wolves trailed 22-20 at the break despite 10 first-half points from Cody Kirchman. Alex Robbins led the Thunderbirds to the first-half lead with 15 points. The Wolves turned the game on its head in the second half, outscoring their hosts 49-34 after the break. A big reason was their ability to get to the charity stripe and knock down 16 free throws. Braeden Leist knocked down six free throws in the second half en route to a 17-point night to lead the Wolves. Lischka scored 16 points, Chase Romdenne registered 14 points, and Kirchman contributed 11. Alex Robbins' 22 points led the Thunderbirds.

 

The Eagles beat the Wolves twice during the Packerland Conference schedule, toppling them in Algoma 63-52 on January 3rd and blowing them out in Brussels 85-46 on February 15th. 

 

Bryan Mazur will have the call on 104.1 WRLU beginning at 6:45 p.m. with the pregame show followed by the opening tip at 7 p.m.

The Algoma Wolves used a 15-0 run in the first half to take control of the game and eventually came away with a 67-38 victory at home over the Weyauwega-Fremont Warhawks.

 

The Wolves took a 35-26  lead into halftime and were able to close out the game at home against the Warhawks.

 

Parker Lischka scored 20 of his 25 game-high points in the second half to lead the Wolves.  Charlie Prokash added 11 points, all coming in the first half.

Ethan Koplein paced the Warhawks with 16 points.

 

Algoma will now travel to Iola-Scandinavia on Friday for a Division 4 regional semi-final.
