A dominant week one victory over Green Bay N.E.W. Lutheran (34-8) had the Algoma Wolves feeling good, but a trip to Lena/Aquinas proved to be too much to overcome as they dropped to 1-1 on the early season in a 24-0 loss.

For the Wildcats, the win counts as revenge after Algoma edged them 22-20 in their last meeting back in October 2024, and it continues their dominant start to the season — Lena/Aquinas has yet to allow a point, outscoring opponents 77-0 through two games.

The Wolves will look to bounce back September 5th when they face Gibraltar, who lost Friday evening to a strong Sevastopol team 50-0. It’s a matchup that could have Algoma back on track if they show the same offensive spark behind quarterback Lane Cochart that they displayed in week one.

The Algoma cross country team opened their 2025 season in familar spot as they competed in the Chief Kahquados Invitational in Fish Creek.

 

Claire Gerdman paced a full girls squad with a personal record 5K time of 24:26 to come in 25th place while Dylan Seiler broke 21 minutes to finish in 31st place overall.

After capping last season off with a conference championship win over the eventual state runner-up, Algoma showed Thursday night against NEW Lutheran/Oneida Nation that they don't plan on slowing down anytime soon.

 

In its 34-8 win over the United, the Wolves jumped out to a 12-0 lead only to see it get whittled down to four in the second half. That's as close as the game would get as Lane Cochart's long touchdown sparked a run of 22 unanswered points to eliminate any doubt.

 

Speaking of last year's state runner-up, Algoma plays Lena/St. Thomas Aquinas next Thursday in Lena at 7 p.m.
