The high school golf career of Kewaunee's Evan Maccaux came to a close on Tuesday with a Top 5 finish in the WIAA State Golf Tournament at University Ridge Golf Course in Madison.

After shooting a 5-over 77 on Monday, Maccaux followed up with a 6-over 78 on Tuesday to stay in fifth place, tying Crandon's Reid Votis and Turtle Lake/Clayton's Andrew Buck. Maccaux was one of seven D3 golfers to shoot sub-80 in both rounds of the state championships. 

Kohler's David Van Dixhorn shot a 2-under 70 on Tuesday to clinch the Division 3 title, holding off Prentice' Eliah Harding.

The Storm made an incredible comeback in the semi-final by scoring four runs in the bottom of the 7th inning to overtake Brillion in a stunner. 

Pitcher Brett Paulsen went five innings for the Storm before giving way to Waylon Delain.  Paulsen struck out nine batters while allowing only two hits.  

The game was scoreless until the Lions tallied two runs in the top of the fifth innng, while the Storm answered with a run in the bottom of the frame on a RBI sacrifice fly by Diesel Bosdeck. 

The score stayed 2-1 in favor of the Lions until the seventh inning when they added two more runs to make it 4-1 going into the ninth.  That's when Kewaunee came storming back.  

Calvin Kolmorgen walked and pitch-hitter Alec Carlson singled to put runners at first and second.  Paulsen then hit a grounder to first that went under the glove of the fielder and Kolmorgen scored and runners ended up at first and third.  After singles by Delain and Diesel Bosdeck scored another run, Dane Harrell smashed a two-run double off the left field fence to bring around Paulsen and Delain to complete the incredible comeback.  

In the sectional final, Kewaunee struck first in the third inning on a two-out  RBI single by Paulsen that scored Micah Vanness giving the Storm a 1-0 lead.

The score stayed that way thanks to great pitching by Jackson Walecka, until Marathon tallied a run in the bottom of the sixth on a close play at the plate.  Walecka threw 6.2 innings and allowed only one run and six hits and left with two runners on and two outs in the seventh.   The Red Raiders walked it off on a long drive to left field by Quillen Kunkel off Delain that scored the winning run and goes down as a single.   

Kewaunee finishes an incredible season going 27-1 and winning the Packerland Conference with a 12-0 record.  The Storm graduates seven seniors who were part of two great seasons that saw Kewaunee go to state and finish as the runner-ups last year.

After the sectional performance in Crivitz, Coach Dan Spranger shared his emotional message about his team and seniors in the post-game interview.

A little rain never hurt anybody, and it definitely did not hurt Kewaunee's Evan Maccaux during the first round of the WIAA State Golf Championship at University Ridge Golf Course in Madison on Monday.

Stormy weather forced play to be suspended for nearly an hour, with golfers unable to restart their round until 6:10 p.m.

Maccaux finds himself in fifth place among Division 3 competitors after shooting 5-over-par on day one. He is four strokes behind the leaders Eliah Harding and Matti Heikkinen, who shot a 1-over-par on Monday.

Maccaux starts day two at 7:20 a.m.

The Kewaunee Storm will look to make a return trip to the WIAA State Tournament after Division 3 sectional action on Tuesday in Crivitz, as they play the Brillion Lions in the semi-final game at 1 p.m.

The Storm (27-0), last year's state runner-up, is coming off a 10-0 no-hit shutout in five innings in the Regional final against the Crivitz Wolverines last Wednesday. 

Brett Paulsen pitched his fifth no-hitter of the season and Connor Kilgore went 3/3  and walked off the game in the bottom of the fifth inning with a bases-loaded walk.

Brillion (23-4) finished second in the Eastern Wisconsin Conference with a 12-2 record and is coming off a 7-4 regional final win over the Bonduel Bears last Wednesday.  Previously, the Bears defeated Algoma 9-1 in the regional semi-final.  

Pregame for the first game will begin at 12:45 p.m. on Tuesday with the first pitch set for 1 p.m. on 104.1 WRLU and streamed on New Radio Sports Network.  Paul Schmitt will bring you the play-by-play.  If Kewaunee wins, the Storm will battle the winner of Stratford and Marathon for the sectional championship at 4:00 p.m. 

Kewaunee's Evan Maccaux will take on the fairways and greens of Madison's University Ridge Golf Course on Monday and Tuesday as a part of the WIAA State Golf Championship.

A sectional champion from a week ago, Maccaux will tee off at 12:20 p.m. with a grouping that includes Turtle Lake/Clayton's Andrew Buck, Cochrane-Fountain City's Parker Kujak, and University Lake School's Cole Brown.

This is Maccaux's first appearance at the WIAA State Golf Championship. 

After Kewaunee's Evan Maccaux earned player of the year honors for golf, baseball's Brett Paulsen and softball's Breanna Riha could not let him be alone in earning the Packerland Conference's top award.

Both were named the Player of the Year in their respective sports when the Packerland Conference announced their All-Conference teams for baseball, softball, and soccer earlier this week.

Paulsen swept the Player of the Year honors, winning the defensive and overall awards. In addition to his appearance as a First Team Pitcher selection, Paulsen was joined on the All-Conference baseball team by Calvin Kolmorgen (First Team Catcher), Diesel Bosdeck (First Team Infielder), Connor Kilgore (First Team Outfielder), Blake Temme (Second Team Infielder), and Dane Harrell (Second Team Infielder).

Riha had to share her Player of the Year honor with Algoma's Natalie Ray, but she was named First Team Infielder. Vivian Bootz (First Team Outfielder), Ali Repitz (Second Team Pitcher), London Karnopp (Second Team Catcher), Kambriea Last (Second Team Infielder), and Mariah Schleis (Honorable Mention Outfielder) joined her on the All-Packerland Conference team.

Midfielder Elynor Heidel (Honorable Mention) was the lone All-Packerland selection from the soccer team.

After a scoreless first inning, the Storm scored two runs in the second and third innings to take a 4-0 lead.  Micah Vanness knocked in two runs with a double in the third inning to get Kewaunee going.   

Connor Kilgore had a big game going three-for-three with a triple while Vanness finished two-for-three.  

Brett Paulsen was the story again getting a no-hitter while striking out nine batters and allowing only three baserunners with walks. 

The Storm scored three runs in the bottom of the fifth inning to claim their back-to-back regional championship.  Conner Kilgore ended the game with a bases-loaded walk for the final tally.

#1 Kewaunee (27-0) will now face the #2 Brillion Lions next Tuesday at 1 p.m. with a chance to play in the sectional final at 4 p.m. if they get by the Lions.  The sectional semi-final broadcast will begin at 12:45 p.m. on 104.1 WRLU and streamed on NewRadioSportsNetwork.com with Paul Schmitt calling the action.

The Kewaunee Storm kept rolling Tuesday, knocking off Peshtigo 6-1 to stay unbeaten on the season at 26-0.

Kewaunee wasted no time, putting up four runs in the first inning on a two-RBI single from Connor Kilgore and a two-RBI double from Blake Temme. 

That was all Jackson Walecka needed. The righty went five strong innings, striking out seven and allowing just one run. Waylon Delain shut the door with two scoreless frames in relief.

Delain and Diesel Bosdeck each had two hits, and the Storm swiped six bases on the day to keep the pressure on all game.

Next up, Kewaunee hosts Crivitz in the regional final on June 3rd. The Storm are the heavy favorites as the top seed and a perfect 26-0, but Crivitz comes in as the four-seed ready to compete. 

Kewaunee senior Evan MacCaux had a standout day at the WIAA Division 3 Boys Golf Sectional, shooting a 73 to earn individual gold medalist honors and punch his ticket to state as an individual qualifier.

MacCaux was the low round of the day and the only local golfer to advance to the State Tournament. Three Lakes/Phelps (335) and Mishicot (342) took the top two team spots to advance to state as well. 

Gibraltar finished with a 377 team scor led by Henry Wehrenberg with a 94, followed by Bairen Lhost (94) and Jameson Tepe (99). Sam Busalacchi rounded out the team with a 90. The Vikings would not advance as a team or individually. 

MacCaux is the lone local area golfer headed to state and he will compete at the WIAA Division 3 State Tournament June 8-9 at University Ridge in Madison.

The march back to Fox Cities Stadium begins with a Packerland Conference opponent when Kewaunee welcomes Peshtigo on Tuesday.

The Storm last played on Thursday when they beat Manitowoc 3-1 to clinch a perfect regular season. The Storm outhit the Ships 9-3 with Waylon Delain going 3-4 while Brett Paulsen and Diesel Bosdeck each had two hits. Paulsen earned the win, allowing one run (1 ER) on two hits while striking out four across three innings.

The Storm will face a familiar foe in their tournament opener on Tuesday when Peshtigo comes barking in Kewaunee. The Bulldogs were swept in a doubleheader by the Storm on May 9th, dropping game one 12-0 before just missing a split with a 5-4 defeat. They enter the matchup on a four-game winning streak. They earned the matchup with a 5-2 win over Sevastopol last Thursday. Lincoln Nemec led the Bulldogs with three hits, including a double, while Bryce Heroux pitched 1.2 innings of scoreless relief to go along with his triple.

First pitch is set for 4:30 p.m.

The Kewaunee girls soccer team will open their first WIAA Tournament in several years on Tuesday when they host Valders to take on the Vikings. 

Both teams are credited with just one win on the year entering the match. Brenda Cuevas-Tapia has scored both of the Storm's goals on the season, both of which came in a 4-2 loss to Peshtigo.

Kickoff is set for 4:30 p.m.

Southern Door, Kewaunee, Sevastopol, Gibraltar and Algoma were all represented at the WIAA Division 3 Sectional as athletes competed for spots at next week's WIAA State Track and Field Championships in La Crosse.

Southern Door will send a large group to state, led by Grant Pieschek (pole vault), Lauden Berg (long jump, triple jump), Elise Jackson (100 hurdles, 300 hurdles), Frankie Nellis (long jump) and the girls 4x800 relay team.

The Storm struck right away at Manitowoc's Municipal Field, scoring twice in the first inning courtesy of an error and a sacrifice fly from Connor Kilgore. The Ships cut the lead in half in the second inning and the game stayed that way until the seventh inning when Diesel Bosdeck's RBI single gave the Storm some breathing room.

London Karnopp went 3-for-4 with two RBIs to lead Kewaunee, and Ali Repitz held Brillion to two runs over five innings before the fifth inning unraveled.

Gibraltar survived a wild one Tuesday, holding off Bonduel 11-8 in a back-and-forth baseball game to move to 18-6 on the season.

They finish the regular season 16-10 and await the seeding for the start of the WIAA State Softball Tournament.
