The Kewaunee Storm advanced to Level 3 of the WIAA playoffs Friday night with a 42-7 win over Cedar-Grove/Belgium. The Storm showed a balanced attack for the first time this season with the Packerland Conference Player of the Year Owen Carlson only having 1 touchdown. The team had great efforts from Nathan Kuehl, Maddix Mueller, and DJ Echols. The Storm take on St. Mary Springs next Friday on 104.1 WRLU with Henry Annen and Reece Robalard with a 6:45 pregame show and 7:00 kickoff.

Kewaunee's Hannah Miller is looking forward to her second trip to Wisconsin Rapids for the WIAA State Cross Country Championships.

Miller has seen her times drop during her sophomore campaign, setting a personal record of 19:01 at the Panther Invite on September 28th. Last year, she broke 21 minutes in the 5K four times, while this year, she broke 20 minutes in all but one of her 10 races. She won six of those races, including the Packerland Conference Meet at Cherry Hills Golf Course. She talked about the work she put in over the summer to have the success she experienced this fall.

Miller will start at 1:45 p.m.

The Kewaunee Storm looks to continue their run through the WIAA Playoffs with a match-up against Cedar Grove-Belgium on Friday night.

The Storm clinched their spot to Level 2 with a dominating 42-0 win over Oconto last week. Packerland Offensive Player of the Year Owen Carlson only needed 11 rushing attempts to do his damage, sprinting his way to 123 yards and two scores. Thomas Stangel had two total touchdowns, and Demardo Echols also found his way into the endzone to secure Kewaunee's 21st win in their last 23 games.

The Rockets earned their place in the game with a 28-13 win over Waterloo last Friday. After losing two conference games to start the month of September, the Rockets have rattled off six straight wins. The Rockets counter the Storm's rushing attack with Will Navis, who ran for 195 yards on 31 carries and two touchdowns in last week's win. 

Henry Annen and Reece Robillard will have the call on 104.1 WRLU and NEWRadioSportsNetwork.com beginning at 6:45 p.m. with the pregame show followed by the opening kickoff at 7 p.m.

Braxton Riha's captured double top honors for his work in the trenches for the Kewaunee football team to highlight the school's All-Packerland Conference honors.

Kewaunee's Hannah Miller is one of three Kewaunee County high school students competing at next week's WIAA State Meet and the only one from Saturday's sectional meet in Manitowoc.

Miller covered the course in 19:24 to finish in second place overall to clinch her spot. Christopher Cullen paced the boys' team with a sub-17 minute time on the 5K course and a top-ten finish but saw his high school career come to a close.

The playoffs began like how the regular season went for the Kewaunee Storm, as they took care of business against Packerland foe Oconto, 42-0 on 104.1 WRLU Friday Night. The game began with a Kewaunee interception on their first offensive play, but that would be their only blunder on their way to a monstrous victory over the Blue Devils. DJ Echols would begin the scoring for the Storm with a four-yard touchdown, making the game 6-0.

Maddix Mueller had a strong imprint on this level one game, returning a punt 70 yards to the house to keep Kewaunee rolling. Owen Carlson, who is in the running for Packerland Conference Player of the Year, had two touchdowns on the night, one from 17 yards out and the other from 47 yards, and just like that, the Storm were cruising into level two. 

 Thomas Stangel decided to keep one himself to give Kewaunee a 28-0 lead, and the defense for the Storm continued their regular season success, pitching a shutout and proving their top-seed status. 

 After another Maddix Mueller score, the game would eventually go final, with the Storm finishing the Blue Devils season with a 42-0 win. 

 Kewaunee is set to face #4 Cedar-Grove Belgium after the Rockets defeated Waterloo 28-13 to set up the level two matchup.

The Kewaunee football team looks to continue their perfect season into the playoffs with a home matchup against conference opponent Oconto on Friday night.

Last week, Owen Carlson ran for 235 yards and five touchdowns as the Storm put an exclamation point on a conference championship season with a 54-0 win at Peshtigo. Thomas Stangel was efficient in his night behind center, completing all three passes, including a 29-yard touchdown pass to add to the Storm's attack that has outscored its opponents 390-82 on the year.

The Blue Devils squeaked into the playoffs with a 4-5 mark despite losing three of its final four games. It lost to Bonduel 40-30 in its last game and fell to Kewaunee 34-6. While the Blue Devils could contain Stangel, Carlson still rushed for 174 yards and three touchdowns.

Henry Annen and Reece Robillard will have the call on 104.1 WRLU and NEWRadioSportsNetwork.com beginning at 6:45 p.m. with the pregame show followed by the opening kickoff at 7 p.m.

Kewaunee saw their season end on the road as Valders swept them 3-0 (22-25, 22-25, 21-25).

No other stats were available from this match.

The Kewaunee volleyball team is the only area squad to take their WIAA Tournament hopes on the road from Day 1 as they travel to Valders for their opener.

The Storm ended their regular season going 1-3 at NEW Lutheran's tournament in Ashwaubenon on Saturday. After topping NEW Lutheran 2-1, the Storm lost to Manitowoc Lutheran, Crivitz, and Sheboygan Christian. They dropped five of their final six sets.

The Vikings dropped five of their final six sets as they were swept at the Luxemburg-Casco Invite to end their season 9-17. They ended the regular season with losses to Bay Port, Oconto, and Wisconsin Lutheran.

First serve in Valders is scheduled for 7 p.m.

Kewaunee's Christopher Cullen and Hannah Miller finished ahead of the pack at Thursday's Packerland Conference championships in Sturgeon Bay.

Cullen covered the hilly 5K course in 17:12 while Miller did so in 19:10. The win helped the Storm finish 3rd as a team in both the boys' and the girls' divisions. 

The Storm will run in next week's sectional meet at Manitowoc Lutheran.

The Kewaunee Storm volleyball team could not get the offense going in its 3-0 sweep (25-15, 25-16, 25-22) at the hands of the  NEW Lutheran Blazers Thursday night in Green Bay.

The Storm could not get past 20 points in the first two sets before the third set where they came up just short of forcing extra frames. A big reason for that was the Blazers'  Lexi Dhein, who contributed 28 digs. Emma Laatsch (10 kills and nine digs) and Abby Kirchner (22 assists and three aces) helped pace the offense for the Blazers.

The Kewaunee soccer team will complete its Packerland campaign on Thursday with a matinee at Peshtigo.

The Storm played Algoma on Monday after losing its three previous conference matches as they improved on their 2022 record this season, going 2-10-2.

The Bulldogs are looking for their first goal in two matches, losing 5-0 to Sturgeon Bay on Monday and 6-0 to Luxemburg-Casco last Friday.

Kickoff from Peshtigo is set for 4 p.m.

 The Kewaunee Storm will end their regular season on Thursday with a match in Green Bay against NEW Lutheran.

The Storm won their last match against Oconto 3-1 (16-25, 25-22, 25-18, 25-23). That marked their fifth win in eight tries and their third straight inside the Packerland Conference.

The Blazers won three of their five matches at the Oconto Falls Invite over the weekend. One of those wins did come against the Storm a 2-0 in the final match of the weekend.

The opening serve is scheduled for 7 p.m.

TOURNAMENT MATCHUP

Division 3

The Storm went 2-3 in their weekend invitational at Oconto Falls, sweeping New London and Peshtigo while losing to Freedom, NEW Lutheran, and Chilton. In their normal conference duals, the Storm are in the middle of the pack with a 3-3 record.

The Blue Devils lost to Gibraltar on Monday 3-1 (27-25, 25-18, 20-25, 25-22) and stay just one game ahead of cellar-dwelling Peshtigo in the Packerland standings. The team overall has split their last eight matches.

The opening serve is set for 7 p.m.

The Kewaunee Storm and Algoma Wolves are set to play against each other in a Packerland Conference soccer matchup to kick off their final week of the regular season.

The Kewaunee Storm remained perfect in the Packerland Conference Friday night with a convincing 48-6 victory over the previously undefeated Southern Door Eagles on 104.1 WRLU.

Taking the opening drive down to the 32-yard in Eagle territory, the Storm overcame a fourth and ten and took a 6-0 lead on a touchdown pass from Thomas Stangel to Maddux Mueller with 7:01 left in the first quarter.

After the Eagles failed to take advantage of a Drew Daoust interception at midfield late in the first quarter, the Storm struck on the very first play of the second quarter on an electrifying 84-yard run by Owen Carlson to take a 12-0 lead.

Kewaunee would score one more time before the half on a 10-yard scamper by Tyler VanGoethem to make the score 19-0 after the extra point by Mueller.

Carlson would score again early in the third quarter on a 51-yard run to give the Storm a 26-0 lead that left little doubt of the final outcome.

Southern Door did manage to score with 2:16 left in the third quarter on a 40-yard connection from quarterback Lauden Berg to wide receiver James Fish to cut the lead to 26-6.

The Storm would then put the game away with three touchdowns in the fourth quarter, capped by a 40-yard run by Jackson Wisnicky.

Carlson’s evening ended with this third touchdown of the night as the Eagle defense had no answer for Kewaunee’s vaunted rushing attack.  Carlson now has 25 rushing touchdowns for the season and 29 overall. 

Kewaunee (6-0, 8-0 overall) can claim the outright Packerland Conference championship with a win next Friday when they play winless Peshtigo on the road.

Southern Door (5-1, 7-1 overall) will now play host to the Sturgeon Bay Clippers in a rivalry game next Friday at home.  

The Kewaunee soccer team will welcome back Washington Island to its home pitch on Friday for an afternoon tilt.

Evan Maccaux stunned the Fish Creek crowd when he scored a deep goal for Kewaunee in the opening minute of their match against Gibraltar/Sevastopol, though they would go on to lose 2-1 to the United. The Storm are still searching for their last victory since the last time they played the Bucks in Kewaunee, a match that ended 4-2 in favor of the home side.

Kickoff is set for 4 p.m.

The two undefeated teams remaining in the Packerland Conference will do battle on Friday night in Kewaunee as the Storm will host the Southern Door Eagles.

The Eagles (5-0, 7-0) are coming off a 46-6 thumping of the Oconto Blue Devils, while the Storm (5-0, 7-0) blew out Sturgeon Bay 56-8 last week.

Kewaunee is led by running back Owen Carlson who has rushed for 1191 yards and 22 touchdowns this season.

Zach Lynch leads the Southern Door Eagles with 832 yards on the ground with 16 scores, while quarterback Drew Daoust has added 425 yards rushing with over a ten-yard average.

The pregame is set for 6:45 p.m. from Kewaunee High School with kick-off at 7 p.m. on 104.1 WRLU.  The game will also be streamed on NewRadioSportsNetwork.com with Paul Schmitt and Eric Fischer on the call. 

You can listen to Kewaunee Coach Randy Charles and Southern Door Coach Mark Jonas preview the big game with the audio links below.

The Kewaunee volleyball team looks to sustain a winning streak heading into the latter stages of the season on Thursday with a road trip to Peshtigo.

The Storm snapped a three-match losing streak with a 3-0 sweep of Sevastopol on Thursday. The win put the Storm's Packerland mark at 2-3, one match behind the Pioneers in the standings.

The Bulldogs lost to NEW Lutheran 3-0 (25-15, 25-23, 25-20) on Tuesday. The Bulldogs are tied with Gibraltar in the Packerland Conference with matching 0-5 records.

Opening serve is set for 7 p.m.

The Kewaunee Storm volleyball team looks to get back on track on Tuesday with a home match against Sevastopol.

The Storm has dropped three straight matches since sweeping Gibraltar 3-0. That includes an upset-minded performance against Southern Door last Thursday when the Storm pushed the Eagles to the limit before falling 3-2.

The Pioneers were shocked last week when they lost three straight sets to NEW Lutheran for only their sixth loss of the season. The team had won nine straight matches before that defeat.

The first serve is scheduled for 7 p.m.

The WIAA Tennis Tournament begins on Monday, but it will do so without a squad representing Kewaunee.

After playing in its first two meets with a limited roster, the Storm canceled every meet they were expected to play from August 27th to now. Clintonville joined Kewaunee in withdrawing from the state series tournament, which will still take place at St. Mary Catholic beginning at 9 a.m.
