Can- didate filing activity for those elections has already started, with the deadline for getting names on ballots c oming on Jan. 5. One incumbent school board member has already declared that he will not seek a new term in spring. Adam Luchterhand, an at-large member of the Loyal Board of Education, has filed a non-candidacy statement so that seat will be open to any district resident for the next election. Fel- low Loyal Board incumbents Paul Gries (area south of Highway 98) and Deb Roedel (area north of Highway 98) will be seek- ing new terms, but anyone in their areas is free to file paperwork by Jan. 5 to run against them. Other area school districts will also be holding elections in spring. In Spen- cer, incumbents Jerry Wienke and Eric Zenner are at the end of their terms. In Granton, incumbent Dennis Kuehn is the lone member up for election this spring. In Greenwood, incumbent Board President Russell Dean (city of Greenwood) and Bill Herr (northeast quadrant of the district) are up for new terms. In local cities and villages, Greenwood will elect a mayor in April and others will elect council/board members. Greenwood Mayor Jim Schecklman’s second 2-year term expires next year, as do the terms of Ward 2 Council member Mary Domanico and at-large member Tracy Nelson. In Loyal, Council members Tim Froeba and Dave Geier (Ward 1) and Jim Batchelor and Tom Bobrofsky (Ward 2) are up this year. In Spencer, voters will elect three Village Board members, with the terms of incumbents Harry Toufar, Wayne Hagen and Diane Maurer about to expire. All 29 members of the Clark County Board of Supervisors are also up for new 2-year terms this spring. In Marathon County, incumbent Maynard Tremelling represents the Spencer area, and is also up for re-election if he seeks another term. Incumbents who will not run for new terms are to file non-candidacy statements by Dec. 28, and all candidates who want their names on ballots must file proper papers by Jan. 5. A primary election will be held on Feb. 16 if enough candidates seek office.

Where will Walkerrsquos policies lead him

MattPommer

ldquoEverything is not hokey-dokey inWisconsinrdquo

Thatrsquos the explanation given byCharles Franklin director of the Mar-quette Law School Poll to the Los An-geles Times this summer to explain thecollapse of Gov Scott Walkerrsquos bid forthe Republican presidential nomination

The governor had hoped his recordas Wisconsinrsquos chief executive wouldcapture Republican enthusiasm starting

in Iowa He raised some $5 million beforethe first debate and was spending $25000a day on campaign staff Time Magazinereported But poll numbers and contri-butions declined sharply in the wake ofthe debate US News amp World Reporttold readers that ldquoWalker spent like adrunken sailorrdquo including putting histwo sons on the campaign payroll

Walker recently used e-mails to helpretire his campaign debt ldquoIt is my hopeyou and all of our supporters will chip inand make an online contribution of $10$25 $50 $100 $250 or more so we can endthis campaign in the blackrdquo

The latest Marquette poll showed lessthan 40 percent of Wisconsinites viewedWalker favorably Then a national surveyshowed Walker had the fourth-lowestacceptance rate of the nationrsquos 50 gov-

ernors Running for president whileserving as governor was very unpopularControversy has dominated Walkerrsquos

years as governor He dropped a policyldquobombrdquo on public employee unions gut-ting their bargaining rights He braggedin Iowa his changes made it easier tofire teachers He also approved makingWisconsin a ldquoright-to-workrdquo state forprivate-sector unions

Changes to the statersquos mining lawswere made aimed at economic growthLater it was found a mining company

had given $700000 to help defeat a recallof Walker But the company never movedahead with the mine setting back thepromises and hopes of economic devel-opment in the north

There were changes to affect the poorDespite legal setbacks in other statesWisconsin moved to require many ofthose receiving unemployment com-pensation or food stamps to undergodrug testing

Major budget decisions includedrejecting hundreds of millions of ad-ditional federal money for Medicaid un-

der Obamacare Walkerperhaps with an eye onthe White House said hedidnrsquot think the federalgovernment could affordit Meanwhile Republi-can governors in Iowaand Ohio had fashionedplans to use the Medic-aid monies

With the state gov-ernment facing an eco-nomic pinch state aidto the University of Wis-consin System campuses

was reduced Walker tried but laterretreated to change the universityrsquos

ldquoWisconsin Ideardquo Statutory tenure forfaculty was replacedExpanding voucher aid for private

schools including using some publicschool aid dominated local education

Election laws were changed Voterswill be required to show a photo ID whenthey get to the polls next year Absenteevoting hours were reduced Critics saidthe changes will make it harder for theelderly students and poor to vote inWisconsin elections Campaign donationlimits were dramatically increased

FoodShare Maybe better than you think Page 2 - Tribune Record Gleaner - Wednesday December 9 2015 OPINION

by Peter Weinschenk Edgar Record Review

According to the Pew Research Center just about the same percentage of Ameri-can conservatives have received a majorgovernment entitlement during theirlifetime as liberals The percentage is 57percent for conservatives 53 percent forliberals Yet the two camps donrsquot agreeat all whether government assistance toindividuals is a good way to spend taxpay-ersrsquo money Itrsquos a key disagreement in anincreasingly polarized America

Take FoodShare for instance ThePew Research Center reports 17 percentof both American liberals and conserva-tives have benefited from the food assis-tance program Conservatives howeverargue that the program creates depen-dency and subsidizes laziness They sup-port work requirements for FoodSharerecipients Liberals on the other hand

argue that a personrsquos basic needs mustbe met before he or she can be indepen-dent They oppose tighter restrictions onFoodShare eligibility

So who is right The liberals Theconservatives

New data out of Marathon County sug-gests that nobody has the exact answer

Starting this year Wisconsin joined anincreasing number of states to requirethat able-bodied childless adults findwork or lose their Food Share benefits

Here in Marathon County the workrequirement seems to have an impact

Back in August the county had 14300people on FoodShare By Septemberwhen the work requirement went intoeffect the number had fallen by 257people In October the number of Food-Share recipients had dropped another 231

people to 13812 The two-month drop of488 people represents a decrease of 34percent in the county program

Johnson Words donrsquot match action

Now is this a good thing A bad thingItrsquos hard to know The private firm that

manages the countyrsquos FoodShare Train-ing and Employment Program (FSTEP)reports that 110 FoodShare recipients inMarathon County have been directed towork since April

This means that work requirementswere theoretically effective for one per-son out of four Three out of four Food-Share recipients however have electedto go without the government-providednutrition

The numbers parallel state trendsThe Department of Health and HumanServices reports that while nearly 15000able-bodied childless adult FoodSharerecipients were trimmed from the Food-Share program statewide since Septem-ber only about 4500 people have receivedFSTEP employment

What we have is a messy result The

work requirement apparently doesencourage employment but at the costof denying nutrition to poor albeit able-bodied adults One wonders then whatthese people denied FoodShare will doto eat Sell drugs for money Engage inprostitution Raid a relativersquos refrigera-tor Rely on community food pantriesAnd one wonders too about the long-term consequence of not getting aidConsider the case of a man or womanwho while poor canrsquot work the required20 hours a week to qualify for FoodSharebecause he or she is obligated to take sickparents to the hospital for cancer treat-ments FoodShare may have been the onething keeping that personrsquos world fromblowing apart And now it is gone

To qualify for FoodShare a singleindividual must earn less than a gross

income of $1276 a month Thatrsquos the

Sen Ron Johnson (R-Wis) chairmanof the Senate Homeland Security and Gov-ernmental Affairs Committee issued thisstatement on Dec 6 following PresidentObamarsquos address on the threat of terror-ism and the fight against ISIS

ldquoOn Sept 4 2014 President Obamastated Americarsquos goal was to lsquodegradeand ultimately defeatrsquo ISIS I immediatelystated that I agreed with that goal and thatI would back the president once he laidout and fully committed to an effectivestrategy to accomplish it To date -- andtonightrsquos status-quo speech was no excep-tion -- he has done neither

ldquoAs is often the case tonight I agreed

with much of what President Obama saidUnfortunately far too often the presidentrsquosactions do not match his words That will

undoubtedly be the case againldquoIt has been 15 months since President

Obama stated his goal The recent stringof terror attacks -- the Russian airlinerblown out of the sky over Egypt the Bei-rut bombing and the attacks in ParisMali and now San Bernardino -- provethat ISIS is neither a ldquoJV teamrdquo nor con-tained Fifteen months without definingand committing to a winning strategy issimply too long

ldquoEvery day that ISIS is not overtly los-ing it is perceived as winning and it willcontinue to inspire and gain adherentsthroughout the world ISIS every formof Islamic terror and every Islamic ter-

rorist organization must be pursued anddefeated -- the sooner the betterldquoI stand ready to support the president

as soon as he fully commits to a winningand decisive strate gyrdquo

Almost a third of the way through themonth of December and we are reachingthe magical day -- the shortest day of theyear While we are still losing daylight atthe rate of a minute a day there is goodnews Sunset time has about reached itslowest point

With a month of above-normal weath-er in November the same is holding trueso far in December and that is just fine

with me I do feel sorry for the kids whohave no snow to slide on or no ice toskate on but so far I have escaped fallingbecause of the stuff

I also feel sorry for those snowmobil-ers who are waiting to get their sleds outI noticed the other day someone from thesnowmobile club was busy putting uptrail signs in anticipation of what maybe coming

The same can be said about the countyhighway department which has lots ofsteel posts in place but still no fenceHopefully it will be there by the time itis needed

While my column list of ideas keeps

growing I glance at my stack of oldGreenwood Gleaners and think I needto get through them some day So here it

goes again this weekThe Sept 7 1944 issue carried a story

about the death of Norman ldquoBudrdquo Wal-lis somewhere in France on Aug 10Elsewhere in the issue is a list of sevenother Greenwood area servicemen whohad lost their lives in World War II Theywere J T Leach Warren Oswald HenryJohnson Stephen Arch Richard HinkerLee Blecha and Kermit Brown

The Oct 19 1944 issue carried a storyof the death of yet another servicemanHerbert Humke He had been in thearmy air force and had been stationed inEngland before being killed on Sept 20Elsewhere in that issue was a picture ofa serviceman modeling a new uniform jacket It became known as the Eisen-hower jacket named after Gen DwightEisenhower

There were a number of papers miss-ing from the stack that I received fromJune Noeldner The next issue was May311945 with more news of our service-men Lt Elery Poppe had been awardedthe Silver Star for action against theenemy in Saipan in July of 1944

Then another story told of the lib-eration from a German prisoner-of-warcamp for Clarence Meinhardt by GenGeorge Pattonrsquos Third Army He had beena prisoner since the fall of 1942

The June 7 1945 paper carried a story

that Clark County had been denied arequest to install a police radio systemThe War Production Board had decidedthere was not sufficient justification anda shortage of materials

Then there was a pile of papers onwhich the date is missing One itemcaught my attention It was a classi-fied and someone had lost their crank

lsquobetween Jim Sythrsquos and Eaton CenterCheese FactoryrsquoThis was well before the rural address

system An auction was described aslsquoon my farm known as the Frank Budkeold place two miles east and 1 14 milesnorth of Greenwood or 1 14 from Shil-ling Stationrsquo

The C C Hoehne Hardware Store wasadvertising the Coleman Quick-Lite Ithad 300 candle power and you could lightit with a common match

Another paper without a date ransome area news The Willard news told ofthe ball game between Tioga and Hewit-tville which the former won 11 to 5

Albert Susa is thinking of movingto Gorman because ldquoWillard isnrsquot bigenoughrdquo

Potato digging was the order of theday in Heintown and John Schmidt wasa business caller at Neillsville and sincehas been wearing his hat on one side

I never heard of Latart but the newsthere was that most of the young peoplefrom Beaver took in the dance at Rip-linger on Saturday night

It was also reported that Ezra Scovilpurchased six cows at Stantonrsquos auctionSaturday He also visited relatives atWarners Cor ners on Sunday

In the Eaton Center news it was re-ported that cows sold as high as $102Then over in the Janesville SettlementJoe Lokatich raised his barn on Thurs-day and Mrs Dillenbeck and Roger mo-tored to Neillsville

Another piece of a paper had no date

but a story told of the growth in bank de-posits in 1917 compared to the previousyear Total deposits grew from $3099096to $4169845 There were eighteen banksin the county at the time and the articledescribed Clark County as a county ofmilk honey and money

There are some advantages of being asenior citizen We not only had a groupof Christmas carolers stop by they left uswith cookies and a couple of gifts Life isgreat Thanks kids

The cost is $750 per squareper week

equivalent of working full-time (40 hours) at $797 per hour The FoodShare benefitis worth $195 a month

The statersquos new rules can hardly be considered harsh or particularly punitive Theregulations only require that able-bodied people without children work Exemptionsare offered for those with a physical or mental disability who are on Social Securityand are enrolled in drug or alcohol counseling or employment training Recipientscan even volunteer in lieu of actual work

Still one has to wonder what kind of misery can follow the person shut out fromFoodShare and unhappily falls through the cracks of this life

We find ourselves at the start of the holiday season Christmas is near We allwill have opportunities to donate to local charities and food pantries who serve ourlocal needy population It might be a good idea to put a dollar in that donation potOr offer up a couple cans of soup

Think of it as insurance Because whether conservative or liberal you might beutterly wrong about FoodShare

Online gift shopping during the holiday season opensup the market to scammers using fake shipping emails tospread malware or gather personal or banking informa-tion The Wisconsin Department of Agriculture Tradeand Consumer Protection (DATCP) warns consumersto be on the lookout for these fake emails and to avoidclicking links or opening attachments in these messages

ldquoWhether you shop online or not expect to start seeingfraudulent package delivery and lsquoorder statusrsquo emails inyour accountrdquo said Frank Frassetto Division Adminis-trator for Trade and Consumer Protection ldquoThis ployoccurs year-round but the holiday shopping season is achance for scammers to increase their spam email outputand sneak them in around legitimate shipment emailsthat consumers might also be receivingrdquo

Look out for emails or texts that warn you about aproblem with a delivery that ask for account informa-tion for security purposes or that ask you to open anattached ldquoshipment labelrdquo in order to claim a packagefrom a local office Scammers often use the names logos

and color schemes of major shipping companies andretailers to add legitimacy to their messages and they

may also spoof the companyrsquos web address (URL) in thesenderrsquos email addressIf you question whether an email link is legitimate

hover the mouse over the link (but donrsquot click it) At thebottom of your browser window you can view the URLwhere the link will actually take you

Look out for the following red flags in your inbox thisholiday season

-- Messages claiming that there is a ldquoproblemrdquo with ashipment or your account These emails will ask you toprovide personal or banking information or to completea form on a linked page in order to fix the supposed prob-lem Do not reply or click any links in the email

-- Poor grammar and spelling errors in emails thatclaim to come from major organizations If the messageis sloppy it likely did not come from a legitimate business

-- Sender addresses that donrsquot match the URL for thecompany that supposedly sent the email For example theldquoFromrdquo line in a fake FedEx email read ldquoFrom FedExExpress Saver (support_myfasthaircom)rdquo

-- Shipment emails that lack specifics about the senderor the packagersquos supposed contents

-- Emails asking you to open an attachment in orderto review an order Never open an attachment in an un-solicited or questionable email

-- Emails containing threats that a package will bereturned to the sender and you will be charged a fee fornot responding to the message

In actua lity there isno product waiting fordelivery and the alarminglanguage in these emails

is intended to make recipients act quickly without con-sidering consequences By clicking on any of the links

in the email a recipient risks downloading malware orhanding over personal information to the scammers Ifyou receive a similar email delete it and do not click anyof the links contained anywhere in the message

If you are expecting a shipment that may be delayedcontact the shipper directly to inquire Some e-commercecompanies offer package tracking features right on theirwebsite If you made an online purchase log into youraccount on the site and see if these options are available

For additional information or to file a complaint visitthe Consumer Protection Bureau at datcpwisconsingovcall the Consumer Information Hotline at 800-422-7128 orsend an e-mail to datcphotlinewisconsingov

More than 600000 deer hunters em-braced the excitement of another nine-day gun deer season in Wisconsin andpreliminary numbers show an increasein both deer registration numbers andlicense sales through the end of the nine-day season

This yearrsquos preliminary nine-day gundeer hunt registration figures indicate atotal of 204725 deer harvested during thenine-day season compared to 199583 in2014 Since this is the first year using theGameReg system department staff areverifying this preliminary data to makesure it is correct It is possible that this

number may change slightly followingadditional evaluation

ldquoIrsquom pleased to see an increase in deerharvest numbers from last yearrdquo said BobNack DNR big game section chief ldquoHunt-ers experienced varying levels of successthroughout the state and had an enjoyabletime with family and friendsrdquo

In 2015 preliminary nine-day harvestnumbers were collected through the Ga-meReg system Hunters were required toregister their deer by 5 pm the day afterharvest as opposed to 5 pm the day afterthe nine-day season closed in years past

DNR customer service staff received

positive feedback from hunters through-out the nine-day season as they learned touse the new system Hunters who forgot toregister their deer are required to do soeven if beyond the 5 pm daily deadline

This year 612377 gun deer licenseswere sold through the end of the nine-day gun deer season compared to 608711in 2014 In total 849778 gun archeryand crossbow licenses (not including up-grades) licenses have been sold throughthe end of the nine-day gun deer seasoncompared to 835583 (not including up-grades) in 2014

son 23870 first-time hunters (or thosewho have not hunted in the last 10 years)have taken advantage of the first-time gundeer buyer license compared to 17644 ar-chery hunters Deer license and tag saleswill continue throughout the remaininghunting seasons

DNR investigated eight hunting inci-dents during the nine-day gun deer seasonfive non-fatal (Rock Marathon JacksonPolk and Manitowoc) and three fatal (Co-lumbia Waushara and Marathon)

Eight hunting incidents resulted in 131

Deer Camp The best place on EarthHello friendsThis is a summary of the first five days of deer camp for The Red

Brush Gang We call a 36x18 foot pole barn home each Novemberwhich we put up on public land in The Meadow Valley Wildlife Area

By the last day of the season over 25 people will have slept in it

and let me tell ya folks we hunt hard and at night we have a lot of funSaturday Nov 21 -- high 35 low 22The majority of the gang came to camp on Thursday night and

with about a dozen of our members being in the 20-something agerange the evening is just a blast for us conservative ldquoold timersrdquo towatch

There were several wrestling matches and yours truly wouldobtain rib and head injuries with the rib injuries lasting the entirenine-day season The head wound was so ugly that I refused to lookat it the first six days I was in camp

Last night I cooked my meal for the season which was scallopedpotatoes and ham a hot dish made of rice and wild game and squashIn reality you have to have about 50 pounds of food to feed this gangOnce the meal is served you get to belly up to the table the rest of theseason and have someone else prepare your meals

On opening morning there was 18 of us spread out over about15-square miles

Twenty-seven year-old Ryan Moll thought he saw deer as nightwas becoming day and that was confirmed when it became lightenough Ryan had what he described was an ldquoincredibly easy shotrdquo

at a 9-point buck with an 18-inch spread Ryanrsquos trophy had a verybusted up rack and would eventually win the The Red Brush Gangrsquosbig buck contest

About three miles north Doug Cibulka and his 16-year-old sonDerek were hunting an area near the Sprague Mather Flowage Justlike last year Doug and Derek had an experience with a pack of wolvesand later in the day they relocated Doug Cibulka saw a six-pointergoing through the brush and made some venison

Back in the area of our camp Dick Schuster (who is in his mid60s) climbs way up a pine tree and sits all day missed an easy shot

on a six-pointer tried a desperation shot and put a bullet in itrsquos neckThese three guys would be ldquobuck brothersrdquo for the night As far

as the rest of the gang goes over half of us did not see a deerSelina and I hunted where we bow hunted and I believe that the

water levels rising over 10 inches in what was dry marshrsquos and thenfreezing into halfice pushed the deer out of our area In two daysof dark to dark hunting Selina and I would see one deer

Tonight as I have done for 44 consecutive years headed over toNecedah with the gang and ate a turkey dinner at St Francis of As-sisi Catholic Church

On Monday after a very lively Sunday night at camp we began adifferent method of hunting deer which is big drives that literallycover a square mile

Everyone wears hip boots and carries a compass All of us find

out what kind of physical condition we are or are not in and todaywe had pretty steady action and not such good success

None of the adults has a doe tag There are three kids that doThree bucks were kicked up and it sounds like one of them wouldhave won the big buck contest

That buck was shot at by two hunters on a dead run and they bothmissed The half ice that I was talking about is incredibly difficult totravel through The marsh grass grabs your legs above the ice andyou have to break ice to make the next step forward

On Monday night it was down to Ross Moll his dad Jeff Moll (40consecutive years) Doug Cibulka Selina and myself

We ate a great meal Jeff would not let Doug and I go to bed andthe next day we hunted hard and that night we had visitors that keptus up late once again

Every Red Brush Hunter is addicted to this place Sunset

If I was the president Id attack em right now MaybePresident Obama promised last week in a rare

address to the nation that he plans to destroyISIL Whether that means destroying the radicalIslamist group as in wiping them off the ace othe earth in a mighty military massacre or justblocking their Net1047298ix signal so they cant watchBreaking Bad episodes during recess romglobal jihad we cant be sure I mean and I hateto say it the President could not have been muchless impressive in his speech i he had only vowedto not let ull-1047298edged ISIL militants accumulaterequent-1047298yer points while on suicide missionsYeah that woulda taught em a lesson

o be completely truthul -- or truthullycomplete I suppose -- I will tell you that I didnot watch the President deliver his speech onSunday night because 1 Tere was ootball oninstead 2) I orgot about it and 3) I knew hisstatements would be as bland as chicken soup

without the chicken celery carrots bullioncubes salt pepper noodles and paprika 1047298akesTats right about as spicy as water Yeah youdarn right I went there

In his speech the text o which I did readObama said we will hunt down terrorists in anycountry where it is necessary to which VladimirPutin said Oh really o show he has supportor his policies Obama said US allies such asFrance and Britain have ramped up their contri -butions to our military campaign which makesit sound like they are now collecting gently usedwinter coats or our advisors to wear in theSyrian desert Obama also said we are workingwith riends to disrupt ISIL which is aboutthe same verbiage I remember using in juniorhigh when me and some other hooligans tied1047297shing line to the history teachers chair leg and

his bookcase so the case ell on the 1047298oor whenhe went to sit down Yeah we disrupted himall right and had all sorts o time to talk about it

over the next 10 noon hours in the principals offi ce

alk about your post-battle brie1047297ngsIn a speech that lasted about as long as an

average waterboarding session -- but made youeel more like you were being tortured -- Obamareerred directly by name to ISIL 14 times which isbetter ree advertising than having Jennier Lopezwear your companys V-neck -shirt at the SuperBowl halfime show And about that -- why doesObama insist on calling the group ISIL when ev-eryone else on the planet calls it ISIS Is it a speechimpediment thing Is he trying to convince us thathe knows more than we do just because he uses adifferent name Or -- and this is a scary thought-- maybe hes planning to destroy the IndianaShelter or Illiterate Lawyers and weve all just beenmisunderstanding I mean yeah lawyers shouldknow how to read I get it but utter destructionseems a bit harsh

I also thought it was interesting -- no make thatprooundly disturbing -- that the President startedone o his sentences with My ellow Americans asi invoking a Richard Nixon image would somehowreassure the nation that everything possible is beingdone to combat a threatening and dangerous en-emy Because as we all remember -- at least those ous who were born beore the country realized thatBob Dylan really cant sing -- Nixon implementeda strategy known as Vietnamization in whichAmerican advisors were supposed to teach SouthVietnamese people who knew less about moderncombat techniques than Hagar the Horrible howto deeat a determined North Vietnamese orcewith sticks and some paper lea1047298ets dropped outo a helicopter In an inamous policy that datesback arther than the start o that last sentence itailed more miserably than Mason Crosbys game-

winning 1047297eld goal try against Detroit last monthWow Military history and proessional ootball

in one vaguely effective metaphor And they said

it couldnt be doneWhat cant be done at least in my opinion and

that o all the hawkish members o the right-wingCongressional caucus is deeat ISIS with the cur-rent strategy o drone strikes random bombingSpecial Forces operations (whatever the heck that

entails) and hoping that the terrorists run out osuicide bombers beore the Middle East runs outo mosques public markets schools and hotelsthat can be blown up Instead o direct aggressiveand massive-i-necessary military interventionwere relying on such tactics as passive economicsanctions against Yemeni government offi cials whomay be selling cotton to ISIS to make comortableand loose-1047297tting underwear or militant 1047297ghtersor requiring that SA offi cials at airports aroundthe country now politely ask Arab women i theresany possible chance that they might now be orhave ever considered carrying out global jihadwhile posing as a Pakistani woman studying to bea home ec teacher

I will say or the record that I have generallysupported President Obama in his seven years inthe White House his Chicago Bears support asideHowever on this issue I believe he has shownless leadership than a vegan at a pork producersconvention When this country most needs a com-

mander-in-chie whos willing to use the

$560 billion annual US deense budgetor what its there or were getting a guywho seems to be thinking Geez just 11more months to go and Ill be out o hereso the history books can blame the waron ISIL on somebody else

Its not that Im pro-war not by anymeans but sometimes a menace comesalong that is so rightening and capableo causing global terror and sufferingthat world leaders must act I mean Iremember the time in my childhoodsandbox when me and my green plastic

army soldiers were enjoying seemingly endlesspeaceul times when a blue army suddenlyappeared (a whole bag o them as a Christmaspresent ironically) and I suddenly had to makethe call o whether to stop the invasion either by

ull-on combat or to battle the insidious threat lessaggressively by lobbying Congress to pass legisla-tion that would raise the sales tax on bags o bluearmy guys thereby limiting their numbers overyou know say the next 10 years or so

Well you can bet which action I chose andits probably likely that some blue army guybody parts are still buried where my sandboxbattle1047297eld once stood under the box elder treesin our yard Let our President heed that historicallesson that some enemies o peace and reedomcannot be beaten by words and sanctions andmind-numbingly ineffective policies based onaLets cross our 1047297ngers and hope they go awaymission statement

I mean just think had I not conronted theblue army guy menace 40 years ago I might nowbe a screwed-up graying nobody pretending hes

an expert on oreign policyOh shaddup

ldquoI keep pointing it out and saying lsquoThat number canrsquotsurviversquordquo Love said ldquoWersquove got to put another numberup thererdquo

The Greyhounds are off to a 1-1 start in their questto become the first conference champs in the sport in48 years They beat Granton on Dec 4 after losing topreseason favorite Marshfield Columbus and Love saidthis yearrsquos team is ldquostrides aheadrdquo of the 2014-15 versionthat ended up with an 8-8 mark and fifth-place finish in theEastern Cloverbelt Love has some starting experienceback in his lineup and several talented underclassmenwho will see significant playing time and the team shouldimprove as the youngsters learn the speed of the varsitygame

Love has to replace graduates Ryley Fischer LoganGenteman and Tyler Prust who all were significant

contributors a year ago Back in his starting lineup are junior guard Riley Geiger and 6rsquo4rdquo swingman CameronBrussow who give the Greyhounds a potent 1-2 scoringpunch both from the perimeter and the lane SeniorDerrick Howard also returns to the front line to battlefor rebounds and points and seniors Ben Zimmermanand Marcus Genteman will share one starting spotdepending on a given nightrsquos opponent Sophomore LukeBogdonovich is the other starting guard

Underclassmen who will play important minutesinclude sophomores Waylon Froeba Elliot Genteman andJordan Radue and freshman Quinn Brussow Theyrsquoll alsoplay with the junior varsity team but Love will need themfor varsity minutes for depth Senior Josh Zupanc out forthe sport for the first time will get some minutes as well

In Geiger and Cameron Brussow Loyal has a pair ofplayers who can easily post 20-point nights Geiger the2015 WIAA Division 5 state tournament 3-point shootingchampion is even more accurate from behind the arcthan last year Love said

ldquoThe pleasant surprise has been Riley Geigerrsquosperimeter gamerdquo Love said of the early seasondevelopments ldquoHersquos as good as Irsquove seen him Riley hasnrsquotmissed a beat I didnrsquot think hersquod get better but he hasrdquo

Brussow can also bury shots from 3-point range butdefenders had best be careful so he doesnrsquot drive pastthem A tall player with ball-handling skills Brussowcan score from anywhere

ldquoHe doesnrsquot have to play post because he can handlethe ballrdquo Love said ldquoCameron is a kid who can create hisown shot and thatrsquos a unique thing He has pretty highaspirations this yearrdquo

Bogdonovich who was ineligible to play last year aftertransferring to Loyal will bring the Greyhounds a much-needed third scoring option

ldquoWhen our two scoring leaders get things going weexpect defenses to adjust to guard Cameron and RileyrdquoLove said ldquoLuke has a great opportunity to expose thoseadjustments Hersquos got a real high basketball IQ Hersquos calmHe doesnrsquot get rattled His fundamental skills are reallyreally strongrdquo

Love does have some concerns about depth With new

WIAA rule changes for two 18-minutes halves insteadof four 8-minute quarters plus more emphasis on hand-checking players could get in foul trouble

ldquoFouls are my biggest concernrdquo the coach said ldquoIf ourtop three or four get in foul trouble we have guys whocan play but not play the same wayrdquo

That situation should ease some as the seasonprogresses and the younger players gain experience

Also Love said ldquoWersquove had to change the way we playdefense because of the way theyrsquore calling foulsrdquo Loyalwill back away from its aggressive full-court pressureand settle back more to conserve fouls

Even though he has a group of players with good skillsLove said he is still preaching the necessity of taking careof the basketball when the team is on offense

ldquoBall security is priority one two and threerdquo he saidldquoWe have to secure the ball more We have to understandthe value of every possessionrdquo

A pair of intangibles the Greyhounds will use as theytry to match up with the conference favorites are a highbasketball IQ and leadership Love said this group knowsthe game and can benefit from that

ldquoSome of the boys think basketball It makes sense tothemrdquo Love said

Geiger and Cameron Brussow will provide theleadership both in scoring and as floor captains

ldquoOur floor leaders were sophomores last year andtheyrsquore more experienced this yearrdquo Love said ldquoWersquorein good shape Wersquore strides ahead of where we werelast yearrdquo

Love sees Columbus and defending champion Spenceras the teams to beat in the ECC this year Neillsville andLoyal should be also be near the top of the pile when thedust settles with a key for the Greyhounds being ableto keep their leaders injury-free and out of foul trouble

ldquoWersquove got to keep some of our kids on the floorrdquoLove said

Greyhound boys look to make their mark in competitive ECC

It rsquo s very early int h e s e a s o n b u t t h eGreyhounds proved theyare to be taken seriouslythis season by pushingAssumption to the wireagain in a Thanksgivingweekend tournament Alast-second shot that justmissed would have liftedLoyal over the Royals inthat one but the game atleast showed area teamsthat Loyal is a legitimatecontender again thiswinter To take the nextstep Loyal has to developits bench said head coachMike Rueth and playthrough a brutal non-conference schedule thatincludes the early season1 and 2 ranked Division5 teams in the state

Loyal finished 22-4overall last year and wonits first Eastern CloverbeltConference championship

The stellar season endedwith a 56-52 sectional lossto Assumption a gamein which the Greyhoundsovercame a double digit deficit in the second half toalmost steal a win That team included now-departedseniors Missy Benz Jaelynn Young and Katie Hoeserthree players who will all be difficult to replace Havingnew reserves step in will be a key to Loyalrsquos 2015-16season Rueth said

Loyalrsquos starting five is as strong as ever Senior pointguard Devyn Schoonover and junior front-line playersMorgan Reinwand and Karsyn Rueth are all back intheir starting roles with a summer of competitive AAUbasketball behind them

ldquoYou can see the time that those kids put inrdquo coachRueth said

Moving into the starting lineup this year are seniorsJaedyn Pieper and Ryleigh Wilke two players who werea part of the main rotation last year They have plenty

of experience the coach said and have already proventhemselves as capable starters in early games this year

ldquoThey passed the test on the first nightrdquo Rueth saidldquoRight now our starting five really gets itrdquo

Amanda Zettler Alexis Dietsche (back) Hailey Rueth Bailey Parker Karsyn Rueth Ryleigh Wilke and BryannaRayhorn

Players who Rueth is counting on to step in withvaluable contributions will include senior post playerBailey Parker who played on the varsity last year andknows the system well and freshman Hailey Rueth ayet-unproven player who will be counted on to play alow-post spot and contribute on defense and rebounding

ldquoShe has all the ability in the worldrdquo Rueth said ldquoWersquollwant her to be an offensive and defensive rebounder anda defensive specialist for us What she could do for us isall the little thingsrdquo

Others who will see varsity time include seniorAmanda Zettler junior Alexis Dietsche and sophomoreBryanna Rayhorn Their development and contributionswill be important because games are longer now with therule change to halves intend of quarters and an increasedemphasis on preventing contact on the court

They have to fill a rolerdquo Rueth said of his reservesldquoBecause of the way things are being called with thenew rules you have to have a bench Theyrsquore just callingeverything so tight nowrdquo

Having an experiencedstarting team at the

beginning of the seasonis a definite advantageRueth said because hedidnrsquot have to start withbasics However it willtake some time for thereserve players to catchup and being patient untilthey do will be important

ldquoWhen you start yourfirst practice yoursquore goingat full speed right fromthe beginningrdquo Ruethsaid ldquoThatrsquos where ourreserves are a little bitbehind Our starting five isquality We just donrsquot havethe bench we had last yearbut I think we can Wersquoregoing to get them thererdquo

Rueth believes thisyearrsquos team again has thetalent to win a conferencechampionship and somegoals are in sight beyondthat Loyal has alreadybeaten perennial ECCpower Neillsville andexpects competition fromOwen-Withee and Spencerdown the road

ldquoTherersquos no doubt wecould repeat as conferencechamps but things have togo our wayrdquo the coach saidldquoTheir (players) goals areto set on being conferencechampions againrdquo

The players also want to

win the conference cross-ver title game this yearLast winter they werebeaten by a Fall Creek

team that advanced to the state tournamentTo get his Greyhounds prepared for the inevitable

tough competition in the WIAA post-season playoffsRueth put together a difficult non-conference schedulethat includes the Assumption tournament a non-conference game against a strong Elk Mound team anda January Saturday road trip to take on Barneveld thedefending D5 state champ that is again ranked 1 Ruethis hoping that schedule will help it improve enough toget past the playoff roadblock it has encountered thepast few seasons

ldquoWersquore hoping that our non-conference schedule isgoing to get us over the humprdquo the coach said

To repeat Spencer needs young players to develop quicklyThe 2014-15 Spencer

boys basketball teamthat won the EasternCloverbelt Conferencetitle with a 14-2 leaguerecord was a mature onewith several players whohad been varsity startersfor two or even threeyears The 2015-16 teamthat will try to repeat asconference champs is notas experienced and maytake some time to developbefore itrsquos ready to play itsbest ball

The start of Spencerrsquosseason has been delayedby the football teamrsquos runto the state title gameThe Rockets postponed

their first two scheduledgames and were to openthe season with a Dec8 non-conference gameagainst Edgar Once theschedule begins coachRandy Recknerrsquos squadwill be faced with thetask of getting somenewcomers up to speedto complement a startingline-up that still includessome varsity veterans

Spencer has 2014-15 ECC player of the year Bobby Pilzback for one more season and he again will be reliedupon for his scoring abilities With starters Miles WeberNate Mercier and Mitchell Susa all gone via graduationPilzrsquo points will be even more critical this year asReckner looks for ways to bolster the teamrsquos offensivepunch Itrsquos not helping any that projected starting guard

Noah Zastrow and post player Dakota Andreae are bothlost for significant time with football-related injurieswhich seriously crimps the Rocketsrsquo depth

Joining Pilz on the starting squad will be Ryan Bussea senior who will be starting for the third-straight year

seniors Calvin Lenz and Jonny Tomke and sophomoreAaron Pankratz Lenz though not a starter in the pastplayed a crucial role on last yearrsquos team and is a versatilescorer who can defend Tomke is athletic and ldquocan helpus in a lot of waysrdquo Reckner said

Those players are proven at the varsity level whilePankratz will get his first taste of it this season Hersquoll be

the teamrsquos starting point guard and his skills as a ballhandler will be tested

ldquoWersquore asking a lot of himrdquo Reckner said ldquoHersquos avery smart kidrdquo

Others who will play in the main rotation will include

sophomores Jack Bezlyk and Jacob Miller Both of them

were important parts of a successful junior varsityteam a year ago and will be called upon to step up thenext level

Bezlyk should add some offenseldquoI think hersquos going to surprise a lot of people with

his scoring abilityrdquo Reckner said ldquoHersquos pretty athleticrdquoMiller is a post player with natural rebounding

instinctsldquoHersquos got the knack of finding the ballrdquo the coach

saidFinding new sources of of fense will be a key for the

Rockets as Susa and Mercier both averaged in doublefigures last year

ldquoWersquove got to replace a lot of scoringrdquo Reckner saidand Pilz is the most likely source

ldquoWersquore going to have to depend on him a lotrdquo Recknersaid with Busse and Lenz also being asked to pick uptheir offensive contributions

Adding to the challenge of repeating as conferencechamps is the relative youth of this team Reckner

has been spoiled in recent years with a plentitude ofexperience but thatrsquos not the case this winter

ldquoI had 2- and 3-year starters last year This year wersquorea little more inexperiencedrdquo Reckner said ldquoTherersquos a lotof teaching going on with the younger guysrdquo

Depth could be a problem for Spencer especially earlyin the season while the sophomores are growing intotheir new roles With Zastrow probably not likely to playuntil late in the season and Andreae out for probably amonth Spencer will have to rely on young players tolearn quickly

ldquoOur depth could be an issuerdquo the coach said ldquoWeprobably would be 9-deep with those two Now wersquoreprobably seven or eight just because of our inexperienceOur conference is going to be really good Hopefully they(younger players) can learn on the flyrdquo

Marshfield Columbus is looking like Spencerrsquos mainchallenge to a repeat ECC title with Neillsville andOwen-Withee also looking strong Reckner said ForSpencer to be atop the standings again at seasonrsquos end

a lot has to fall into placeldquoWe need to be consistent we need to gel as a teamrdquo

Reckner said ldquoWe need to grow up fast In any year tobe a conference champ yoursquove got to catch some breaksrdquo

Rockets girls team off to solid start more growth expected

The 2015-16 Spencer girls basketball team (front from left) Kallie Reckner Macie WeberSydney Kind Nadia King (back) Sabrina Vircks Sadie Mercier Katie Fleischman Lexi

Baehr Jessica Becker Courtney Buss and Liz Endreas

Just a few games into the 2015-16 season Spencer headgirls basketball coach Brian Abel has seen significantimprovement over last year in the way his team isperforming The Rockets are getting mentioned by othercoaches in the Eastern Cloverbelt Conference as a teamto watch out for as Spencer blends decent height and agood outside game into an improving program

Abelrsquos teams went 6-17 two years ago and 6-16 lastyear but this yearrsquos group is off to a 2-1 start with ECCwins over Colby and Marshfield Columbus Those areteams that swept the Rockets last season so Abel has agood sense that things are improving in his programThe players are familiar now with Abelrsquos coaching styleand terminolog y he said and can focus more on playingbasketball

This yearrsquos starting squad is an interesting mix ofinside-outside skills Senior Nadia King returns at thepoint while sophomore guard Lexi Baehr is in her secondvarsity year with perimeter shooting prowess JuniorCourtney Buss mans another spot while seniors Macie

Weber and Sydney Kindgive the Rockets a stronginside presence

Kallie Reckner andLiz Endreas may also getsome starts and will be inthe main rotation KatieFleischmann and JessicaBecker will also get someminutes while SabrinaVircks and Sadie Mercierwill split varsityjuniorvarsity time at least in theearly part of the season

Abel has to find ways toreplace the contributionsof Abby Varsho MelissaLehman and KaitlynWalter who all graduatedHe still has plenty ofreturning players to turnto though and that hashelped in the early season

ldquoTherersquos a lot lessteaching this year becausewersquove got a lot comingbackrdquo Abel said ldquoYou cansee it with our fast startrdquo

Spencer will continue

to run a motion offenselooking for the openperimeter shot or dumpingthe ball inside to Weber or Kind if they have a favorablematchup on the post If the shooters are on the systemworks well

ldquoIt keeps that inside-outside game working Itrsquos a goodbalance so farrdquo Abel said

Defensively the Rockets prefer to fall into a half-court2-3 zone but will come out to play man-to-man at timesThe Rockets want to prevent easy fast-break points andtry to get back in defensive positions

ldquoWe donrsquot want teams to run on usrdquo Abel said ldquoWersquore

very good at getting up and down the court I feel thisteam is very versatile in what we can dordquo

Depth-wise Abel says he has enough quality playersto substitute as needed

ldquoWe have decent depth Itrsquos not shallow by any meansrdquohe said ldquoWe can go eight or nine deep and be alrightrdquo

The Rockets still have to work on some fundamentalsto compete with top teams

ldquoWersquove got to box out defensivelyrdquo he said ldquoOn offensetherersquos an emphasis on limiting turnovers We hadproblems last year with passing under pressurerdquo

One thing Abel is looking for is steady improvementThe year is off to a good start but he wants to maintainthe development as the season progresses

ldquoItrsquos definitely been an improvement from the yearbeforerdquo he said of the teamrsquos early season ldquoI think thegirls just have another year under the system Itrsquos thatcontinual growthrdquo

One goal for Abel this season is to sweep conference

teams that Spencer split its two games with last yearand at least split with those who beat Spencer twiceThatrsquos already happened with the wins over Colby andColumbus

Abel sees Loyal Neillsville and Owen-Withee asthe usual conference favorites Spencer may not be tothe level of those programs yet he said but continuedimprovement will narrow the gap If attitude meansanything his team will be competitive

ldquoThey put the time in They donrsquot want to loserdquo Abelsaid of his players

Spencer-Columbus wrestlers looking for big results this yearTwo seasons ago Spencer head wrestling coach Jake

Zschernitz had no one to fill his lightweight positionsLast year he had the lightweights but then not theheavyweights Finally this season with the resumptionof a co-op program with Marshfield ColumbusZschernitz has everybody he needs and the Rockets lookto be strong

With three wrestlers returning this season afterqualifying for the state meet a year ago -- plus the additionof Columbus athletes and a few underclassmen -- theRockets look to be headed for a strong 2015-16 campaignThey wonrsquot have to overcome the forfeit points theyallowed in the last two seasons and that has Zschernitzthinking the Rockets can repeat as Cloverbelt Conferencedual meet champions and also take the conferencetournament

Spencer-Columbus will be solid at several weightsReturning are 2015 state qualifiers sophomore BryceShaw at 126 pounds senior Tim Bauer at 138 andsophomore Hunter Luepke at 195 Seniors HunterHildebrandt (170) Austin Post (132) and Nate Neumann

(160) also return to the varsity lineupColumbus freshmen Jake Dick (106) and Zach Wheeler-Savoy (113) will take over the lightweight spots whilesophomore Dominick Wichlacz will be at 120 SophomoreJeremiah Giles is slotted in at 145 and freshman CarsonHildebrandt will be at 152 Senior Jake Hainzlsperger willman the 182-pound class senior Elijah Welsh and juniorMax Johnson will contend at 220 and freshman LoganZschernitz and senior Ryan Schauer are the heavyweightchallengers

Shaw placed sixth at state last year the highest finishever for a Spencer freshman Bauer worked hard overthe summer to get even better than his state-qualifyingform of a year ago and Luepke is back as a defendingconference champion and state qualifier HunterHildebrandt and Neumann are also 2015 conferencetournament champions

ldquoThat whole group is going to be a big part of oursuccessrdquo Zschernitz said

Newcomers expected to help include Carson

Hildebrandt and Logan Zschernitz who both haveconsiderable youth wrestling experience Welsh couldbe an interesting wrestler to watch and is someonewho the coach describes as ldquoa naturalrdquo but hasnrsquot beenable to compete at the varsity level because Columbusdidnrsquot have a program Austin Post will bring his footballathleticism to the mat as well and Johnson -- who did notgo out for wrestling last year -- was a sectional qualifieras a freshman

The addition of the Columbus wrestlers at last givesZschernitz the athletes he needs at the right weights

ldquoIf we didnrsquot have them the lightweights would behard to fill againrdquo the coach said

The addition of Columbus will push the Rocketprogram into Division 2 for the state tournament seriesbut Zschernitz doesnrsquot see that as an issue In fact movingout of D3 means the Rockets can avoid such usual smallschool powerhouses as Stratford and Edgar

Zschernitz expects his team can repeat as Cloverbeltdual meet champs and should be a top contender at theconference meet Last year the Rockets lost to Stanley-Boyd by only a few points partly because it had to forfeitat two weights

Not this year And not only does Zschernitz have a fullteam but he has a group thatrsquos as confident as can be afterthe Spencer-Columbus football team went all the way tothe state championship game Many of the athletes areon both teams

ldquoTop to bottom this is definitely the best team wersquovehadrdquo Zschernitz said ldquoWersquore fairly solid all the waythrough Wersquore hoping with the success of the footballco-op it carries over to wrestling Wrestling and footballgo hand-in-hand in my opinion I think the run in footballhelped just to show them they can get to that level if theywant to workrdquo

Greenwood head boys basketball coach EricJohnsonrsquos entire starting five from last year put ona graduation robe in May and headed off to newadventures Left behind in the Greenwood program area few experienced varsity players a wealth of talentedunderclassmen and a question mark as to how fast thisyearrsquos team can develop

In Johnsonrsquos first year as head coach his senior-dominated squad posted a 7-9 record in the EasternCloverbelt Conference and a 10-13 overall mark Gonefrom the group are graduates Booker Bredlau and LoganJohnson who both received all-conference mention andfellow starters Dane Toburen Delten Schmitz and DylanNorth To say Johnson has a rebuilding job on his handsthis year may be just a bit of an understatement

he does have a pair of seniors back in Decker Lindnerand Sam Revier who saw considerable varsity time in2014-15 Joining them as starters will be juniors TrevorSerocki and Zach Zimbauer and sophomore DevinToburen Junior Walker Wuethrich will usually be thefirst guy off the bench with senior Aaron Lindner

junior Cole Lucas and sophomore Tyler Genteman alsofiguring into the rotationldquoWersquore inexperienced at the varsity levelrdquo Johnson

said ldquoThe kids are going to have to catch up to the gamespeed Irsquove got basketball talent out there Hopefully byChristmas time the kids will be caught up and we canbe competitive in every gamerdquo

Greenwood started the season with a non-conferenceloss to Abbotsford and ECC losses to Colby andNeillsville That result is to be expected at least for awhile as the players learn what it takes to compete atthe varsity pace

ldquoThey understand the offense and defense andwhat I want out of themrdquo Johnson said ldquoThe kidsall understand the offense really well Itrsquos just gettingthem up to game speed and you canrsquot simulate that inpracticerdquo

Serocki is showing solid skills at point guard andRevier and Decker Lindner should give the Indiansrebounding defense and inside scoring Toburen is a

versatile player who should develop as he gets varsityminutes

ldquoHe can score inside and outsiderdquo the coach saidldquoHe can handle the ball and rebound He gives me alittle of everythingrdquo

Greenwood will not be able to rely on a strongperimeter game as the young shooters are still tryingto find their range It could be a streaky season as aplayer or two gets hot then cools down

ldquoI donrsquot have a pure shooterrdquo Johnson said ldquoI haveguys who can stroke it but they can lose the stroke just as fastrdquo

Ball security is another area of concern The Indianshave averaged more turnovers than Johnson wants inthe teamrsquos first games Fouls have also been an issuebut that is partly due to officialsrsquo new emphasis onhand-checking and a switch to longer halves intend ofquarters

Johnson said he expects a balanced scoring attackat least until someone emerges as a consistent source

of pointsldquoNobody is really going to stand outrdquo he said ldquoI have

not found that guy yet I hope either Devin or Trevorwill develop into that guyrdquo

Johnson sees Marshfield Columbus as the best teamin the ECC this year with defending champion SpencerNeillsville Owen-Withee and Loyal all figuring to be inthe top half

ldquoHopefully we can fall in somewhere behind thatrdquohe said

Greenwood head basketball coach Carey Petrirsquosfirst year at the helm of the program was not the mostpleasant one with most of her starting and contributingplayers suspended for half the season and the juniorvarsity players called up to fill in One positive fromthat experience is that several young players got varsitytime -- albeit before they were ready -- and that shouldtranslate to a more mature team this season

Petrirsquos Indians are off to a 1-3 start this season as theytry to put last yearrsquos season in the rear-view mirror Theteam took a major blow before this season even startedwhen star senior Taylor Opelt injured her knee in anopen gym workout She was last yearrsquos leading scorerand would have been the centerpiece of Petrirsquos offensethis season

Petrirsquos main group of players this year includesseniors Ashley Walker Lexi Hinker and Renee Herdrich junior Kassidy Lamovec and sophomores Kelly Nielsenand Kaylee Learman Seniors Kaylee Meyer NatalieHackel and Kristyn Nigon are also getting considerableminutes early in the season

In addition to losing Opelt Petri also has to replacegraduates Morgan Hinker and Madison Lucas Thatleaves a huge scoring void to fill which Petri willattempt to cover by having the Indians play a slow tempostyle in which they wait patiently for good shots

ldquoWersquore trying to focus on playing our offense andplaying to our tempordquo she said ldquoWersquore trying to slowthings downrdquo

Several of the key players on this yearrsquos team wereforced into varsity action a year ago and that is payingdividends now

ldquoWith those freshmen who played it kind of got thenerves out of the way a little bitrdquo Petri said

With everyone more comfortable in their roles thisyearrsquos team is playing better as a group One of theIndiansrsquo strengths should be cohesion

ldquoI think this year our chemistry our working welltogether is a strengthrdquo Petri said ldquoWersquore coming closeras a teamrdquo

Shooting has been an issue early for the Indians The

team needs improvement from the perimeter the coachsaid as it has little height to set up plays to the post

ldquoThe shooting is getting betterrdquo Petri said ldquoWersquoreworking on itrdquo

The defense is also showing improvement withplayers adjusting to their responsibilities in the man-

Greenwood girls looking for improvement as season progresses

to-man schemeldquoItrsquos definitely better than last yearrdquo Petri said

ldquoWersquore getting to the spots faster We understand the

rotationsrdquoThe players are also aware of the need for better ball

handling One reason for slowing the tempo down is toavoid situations where opponents pressure the Indiansinto turnovers

ldquoOther teams are aggressive and we tend to panicrdquo

Petri saidThe goals for this yearrsquos teams are modest with an

emphasis on improvement Petri said she wants her

team to develop its skills and get better each time outand the wins will come

ldquoIn time we can come together and play our offenserdquoshe said ldquoObviously I want to have a better team thanlast year Winning half our games would be our ultimategoal right nowrdquo

Where will Walkerrsquos policies lead him

MattPommer

ldquoEverything is not hokey-dokey inWisconsinrdquo

Thatrsquos the explanation given byCharles Franklin director of the Mar-quette Law School Poll to the Los An-geles Times this summer to explain thecollapse of Gov Scott Walkerrsquos bid forthe Republican presidential nomination

The governor had hoped his recordas Wisconsinrsquos chief executive wouldcapture Republican enthusiasm starting

in Iowa He raised some $5 million beforethe first debate and was spending $25000a day on campaign staff Time Magazinereported But poll numbers and contri-butions declined sharply in the wake ofthe debate US News amp World Reporttold readers that ldquoWalker spent like adrunken sailorrdquo including putting histwo sons on the campaign payroll

Walker recently used e-mails to helpretire his campaign debt ldquoIt is my hopeyou and all of our supporters will chip inand make an online contribution of $10$25 $50 $100 $250 or more so we can endthis campaign in the blackrdquo

The latest Marquette poll showed lessthan 40 percent of Wisconsinites viewedWalker favorably Then a national surveyshowed Walker had the fourth-lowestacceptance rate of the nationrsquos 50 gov-

ernors Running for president whileserving as governor was very unpopularControversy has dominated Walkerrsquos

years as governor He dropped a policyldquobombrdquo on public employee unions gut-ting their bargaining rights He braggedin Iowa his changes made it easier tofire teachers He also approved makingWisconsin a ldquoright-to-workrdquo state forprivate-sector unions

Changes to the statersquos mining lawswere made aimed at economic growthLater it was found a mining company

had given $700000 to help defeat a recallof Walker But the company never movedahead with the mine setting back thepromises and hopes of economic devel-opment in the north

There were changes to affect the poorDespite legal setbacks in other statesWisconsin moved to require many ofthose receiving unemployment com-pensation or food stamps to undergodrug testing

Major budget decisions includedrejecting hundreds of millions of ad-ditional federal money for Medicaid un-

der Obamacare Walkerperhaps with an eye onthe White House said hedidnrsquot think the federalgovernment could affordit Meanwhile Republi-can governors in Iowaand Ohio had fashionedplans to use the Medic-aid monies

With the state gov-ernment facing an eco-nomic pinch state aidto the University of Wis-consin System campuses

was reduced Walker tried but laterretreated to change the universityrsquos

ldquoWisconsin Ideardquo Statutory tenure forfaculty was replacedExpanding voucher aid for private

schools including using some publicschool aid dominated local education

Election laws were changed Voterswill be required to show a photo ID whenthey get to the polls next year Absenteevoting hours were reduced Critics saidthe changes will make it harder for theelderly students and poor to vote inWisconsin elections Campaign donationlimits were dramatically increased

FoodShare Maybe better than you think Page 2 - Tribune Record Gleaner - Wednesday December 9 2015 OPINION

by Peter Weinschenk Edgar Record Review

According to the Pew Research Center just about the same percentage of Ameri-can conservatives have received a majorgovernment entitlement during theirlifetime as liberals The percentage is 57percent for conservatives 53 percent forliberals Yet the two camps donrsquot agreeat all whether government assistance toindividuals is a good way to spend taxpay-ersrsquo money Itrsquos a key disagreement in anincreasingly polarized America

Take FoodShare for instance ThePew Research Center reports 17 percentof both American liberals and conserva-tives have benefited from the food assis-tance program Conservatives howeverargue that the program creates depen-dency and subsidizes laziness They sup-port work requirements for FoodSharerecipients Liberals on the other hand

argue that a personrsquos basic needs mustbe met before he or she can be indepen-dent They oppose tighter restrictions onFoodShare eligibility

So who is right The liberals Theconservatives

New data out of Marathon County sug-gests that nobody has the exact answer

Starting this year Wisconsin joined anincreasing number of states to requirethat able-bodied childless adults findwork or lose their Food Share benefits

Here in Marathon County the workrequirement seems to have an impact

Back in August the county had 14300people on FoodShare By Septemberwhen the work requirement went intoeffect the number had fallen by 257people In October the number of Food-Share recipients had dropped another 231

people to 13812 The two-month drop of488 people represents a decrease of 34percent in the county program

Johnson Words donrsquot match action

Now is this a good thing A bad thingItrsquos hard to know The private firm that

manages the countyrsquos FoodShare Train-ing and Employment Program (FSTEP)reports that 110 FoodShare recipients inMarathon County have been directed towork since April

This means that work requirementswere theoretically effective for one per-son out of four Three out of four Food-Share recipients however have electedto go without the government-providednutrition

The numbers parallel state trendsThe Department of Health and HumanServices reports that while nearly 15000able-bodied childless adult FoodSharerecipients were trimmed from the Food-Share program statewide since Septem-ber only about 4500 people have receivedFSTEP employment

What we have is a messy result The

work requirement apparently doesencourage employment but at the costof denying nutrition to poor albeit able-bodied adults One wonders then whatthese people denied FoodShare will doto eat Sell drugs for money Engage inprostitution Raid a relativersquos refrigera-tor Rely on community food pantriesAnd one wonders too about the long-term consequence of not getting aidConsider the case of a man or womanwho while poor canrsquot work the required20 hours a week to qualify for FoodSharebecause he or she is obligated to take sickparents to the hospital for cancer treat-ments FoodShare may have been the onething keeping that personrsquos world fromblowing apart And now it is gone

To qualify for FoodShare a singleindividual must earn less than a gross

income of $1276 a month Thatrsquos the

Sen Ron Johnson (R-Wis) chairmanof the Senate Homeland Security and Gov-ernmental Affairs Committee issued thisstatement on Dec 6 following PresidentObamarsquos address on the threat of terror-ism and the fight against ISIS

ldquoOn Sept 4 2014 President Obamastated Americarsquos goal was to lsquodegradeand ultimately defeatrsquo ISIS I immediatelystated that I agreed with that goal and thatI would back the president once he laidout and fully committed to an effectivestrategy to accomplish it To date -- andtonightrsquos status-quo speech was no excep-tion -- he has done neither

ldquoAs is often the case tonight I agreed

with much of what President Obama saidUnfortunately far too often the presidentrsquosactions do not match his words That will

undoubtedly be the case againldquoIt has been 15 months since President

Obama stated his goal The recent stringof terror attacks -- the Russian airlinerblown out of the sky over Egypt the Bei-rut bombing and the attacks in ParisMali and now San Bernardino -- provethat ISIS is neither a ldquoJV teamrdquo nor con-tained Fifteen months without definingand committing to a winning strategy issimply too long

ldquoEvery day that ISIS is not overtly los-ing it is perceived as winning and it willcontinue to inspire and gain adherentsthroughout the world ISIS every formof Islamic terror and every Islamic ter-

rorist organization must be pursued anddefeated -- the sooner the betterldquoI stand ready to support the president

as soon as he fully commits to a winningand decisive strate gyrdquo

Almost a third of the way through themonth of December and we are reachingthe magical day -- the shortest day of theyear While we are still losing daylight atthe rate of a minute a day there is goodnews Sunset time has about reached itslowest point

With a month of above-normal weath-er in November the same is holding trueso far in December and that is just fine

with me I do feel sorry for the kids whohave no snow to slide on or no ice toskate on but so far I have escaped fallingbecause of the stuff

I also feel sorry for those snowmobil-ers who are waiting to get their sleds outI noticed the other day someone from thesnowmobile club was busy putting uptrail signs in anticipation of what maybe coming

The same can be said about the countyhighway department which has lots ofsteel posts in place but still no fenceHopefully it will be there by the time itis needed

While my column list of ideas keeps

growing I glance at my stack of oldGreenwood Gleaners and think I needto get through them some day So here it

goes again this weekThe Sept 7 1944 issue carried a story

about the death of Norman ldquoBudrdquo Wal-lis somewhere in France on Aug 10Elsewhere in the issue is a list of sevenother Greenwood area servicemen whohad lost their lives in World War II Theywere J T Leach Warren Oswald HenryJohnson Stephen Arch Richard HinkerLee Blecha and Kermit Brown

The Oct 19 1944 issue carried a storyof the death of yet another servicemanHerbert Humke He had been in thearmy air force and had been stationed inEngland before being killed on Sept 20Elsewhere in that issue was a picture ofa serviceman modeling a new uniform jacket It became known as the Eisen-hower jacket named after Gen DwightEisenhower

There were a number of papers miss-ing from the stack that I received fromJune Noeldner The next issue was May311945 with more news of our service-men Lt Elery Poppe had been awardedthe Silver Star for action against theenemy in Saipan in July of 1944

Then another story told of the lib-eration from a German prisoner-of-warcamp for Clarence Meinhardt by GenGeorge Pattonrsquos Third Army He had beena prisoner since the fall of 1942

The June 7 1945 paper carried a story

that Clark County had been denied arequest to install a police radio systemThe War Production Board had decidedthere was not sufficient justification anda shortage of materials

Then there was a pile of papers onwhich the date is missing One itemcaught my attention It was a classi-fied and someone had lost their crank

lsquobetween Jim Sythrsquos and Eaton CenterCheese FactoryrsquoThis was well before the rural address

system An auction was described aslsquoon my farm known as the Frank Budkeold place two miles east and 1 14 milesnorth of Greenwood or 1 14 from Shil-ling Stationrsquo

The C C Hoehne Hardware Store wasadvertising the Coleman Quick-Lite Ithad 300 candle power and you could lightit with a common match

Another paper without a date ransome area news The Willard news told ofthe ball game between Tioga and Hewit-tville which the former won 11 to 5

Albert Susa is thinking of movingto Gorman because ldquoWillard isnrsquot bigenoughrdquo

Potato digging was the order of theday in Heintown and John Schmidt wasa business caller at Neillsville and sincehas been wearing his hat on one side

I never heard of Latart but the newsthere was that most of the young peoplefrom Beaver took in the dance at Rip-linger on Saturday night

It was also reported that Ezra Scovilpurchased six cows at Stantonrsquos auctionSaturday He also visited relatives atWarners Cor ners on Sunday

In the Eaton Center news it was re-ported that cows sold as high as $102Then over in the Janesville SettlementJoe Lokatich raised his barn on Thurs-day and Mrs Dillenbeck and Roger mo-tored to Neillsville

Another piece of a paper had no date

but a story told of the growth in bank de-posits in 1917 compared to the previousyear Total deposits grew from $3099096to $4169845 There were eighteen banksin the county at the time and the articledescribed Clark County as a county ofmilk honey and money

There are some advantages of being asenior citizen We not only had a groupof Christmas carolers stop by they left uswith cookies and a couple of gifts Life isgreat Thanks kids

The cost is $750 per squareper week

equivalent of working full-time (40 hours) at $797 per hour The FoodShare benefitis worth $195 a month

The statersquos new rules can hardly be considered harsh or particularly punitive Theregulations only require that able-bodied people without children work Exemptionsare offered for those with a physical or mental disability who are on Social Securityand are enrolled in drug or alcohol counseling or employment training Recipientscan even volunteer in lieu of actual work

Still one has to wonder what kind of misery can follow the person shut out fromFoodShare and unhappily falls through the cracks of this life

We find ourselves at the start of the holiday season Christmas is near We allwill have opportunities to donate to local charities and food pantries who serve ourlocal needy population It might be a good idea to put a dollar in that donation potOr offer up a couple cans of soup

Think of it as insurance Because whether conservative or liberal you might beutterly wrong about FoodShare

Online gift shopping during the holiday season opensup the market to scammers using fake shipping emails tospread malware or gather personal or banking informa-tion The Wisconsin Department of Agriculture Tradeand Consumer Protection (DATCP) warns consumersto be on the lookout for these fake emails and to avoidclicking links or opening attachments in these messages

ldquoWhether you shop online or not expect to start seeingfraudulent package delivery and lsquoorder statusrsquo emails inyour accountrdquo said Frank Frassetto Division Adminis-trator for Trade and Consumer Protection ldquoThis ployoccurs year-round but the holiday shopping season is achance for scammers to increase their spam email outputand sneak them in around legitimate shipment emailsthat consumers might also be receivingrdquo

Look out for emails or texts that warn you about aproblem with a delivery that ask for account informa-tion for security purposes or that ask you to open anattached ldquoshipment labelrdquo in order to claim a packagefrom a local office Scammers often use the names logos

and color schemes of major shipping companies andretailers to add legitimacy to their messages and they

may also spoof the companyrsquos web address (URL) in thesenderrsquos email addressIf you question whether an email link is legitimate

hover the mouse over the link (but donrsquot click it) At thebottom of your browser window you can view the URLwhere the link will actually take you

Look out for the following red flags in your inbox thisholiday season

-- Messages claiming that there is a ldquoproblemrdquo with ashipment or your account These emails will ask you toprovide personal or banking information or to completea form on a linked page in order to fix the supposed prob-lem Do not reply or click any links in the email

-- Poor grammar and spelling errors in emails thatclaim to come from major organizations If the messageis sloppy it likely did not come from a legitimate business

-- Sender addresses that donrsquot match the URL for thecompany that supposedly sent the email For example theldquoFromrdquo line in a fake FedEx email read ldquoFrom FedExExpress Saver (support_myfasthaircom)rdquo

-- Shipment emails that lack specifics about the senderor the packagersquos supposed contents

-- Emails asking you to open an attachment in orderto review an order Never open an attachment in an un-solicited or questionable email

-- Emails containing threats that a package will bereturned to the sender and you will be charged a fee fornot responding to the message

In actua lity there isno product waiting fordelivery and the alarminglanguage in these emails

is intended to make recipients act quickly without con-sidering consequences By clicking on any of the links

in the email a recipient risks downloading malware orhanding over personal information to the scammers Ifyou receive a similar email delete it and do not click anyof the links contained anywhere in the message

If you are expecting a shipment that may be delayedcontact the shipper directly to inquire Some e-commercecompanies offer package tracking features right on theirwebsite If you made an online purchase log into youraccount on the site and see if these options are available

For additional information or to file a complaint visitthe Consumer Protection Bureau at datcpwisconsingovcall the Consumer Information Hotline at 800-422-7128 orsend an e-mail to datcphotlinewisconsingov

More than 600000 deer hunters em-braced the excitement of another nine-day gun deer season in Wisconsin andpreliminary numbers show an increasein both deer registration numbers andlicense sales through the end of the nine-day season

This yearrsquos preliminary nine-day gundeer hunt registration figures indicate atotal of 204725 deer harvested during thenine-day season compared to 199583 in2014 Since this is the first year using theGameReg system department staff areverifying this preliminary data to makesure it is correct It is possible that this

number may change slightly followingadditional evaluation

ldquoIrsquom pleased to see an increase in deerharvest numbers from last yearrdquo said BobNack DNR big game section chief ldquoHunt-ers experienced varying levels of successthroughout the state and had an enjoyabletime with family and friendsrdquo

In 2015 preliminary nine-day harvestnumbers were collected through the Ga-meReg system Hunters were required toregister their deer by 5 pm the day afterharvest as opposed to 5 pm the day afterthe nine-day season closed in years past

DNR customer service staff received

positive feedback from hunters through-out the nine-day season as they learned touse the new system Hunters who forgot toregister their deer are required to do soeven if beyond the 5 pm daily deadline

This year 612377 gun deer licenseswere sold through the end of the nine-day gun deer season compared to 608711in 2014 In total 849778 gun archeryand crossbow licenses (not including up-grades) licenses have been sold throughthe end of the nine-day gun deer seasoncompared to 835583 (not including up-grades) in 2014

Through the end of the nine-day sea-

son 23870 first-time hunters (or thosewho have not hunted in the last 10 years)have taken advantage of the first-time gundeer buyer license compared to 17644 ar-chery hunters Deer license and tag saleswill continue throughout the remaininghunting seasons

DNR investigated eight hunting inci-dents during the nine-day gun deer seasonfive non-fatal (Rock Marathon JacksonPolk and Manitowoc) and three fatal (Co-lumbia Waushara and Marathon)

Eight hunting incidents resulted in 131

Harvest data shows hunters took 204000 deer in 9-day season

Deer Camp The best place on EarthHello friendsThis is a summary of the first five days of deer camp for The Red

Brush Gang We call a 36x18 foot pole barn home each Novemberwhich we put up on public land in The Meadow Valley Wildlife Area

By the last day of the season over 25 people will have slept in it

and let me tell ya folks we hunt hard and at night we have a lot of funSaturday Nov 21 -- high 35 low 22The majority of the gang came to camp on Thursday night and

with about a dozen of our members being in the 20-something agerange the evening is just a blast for us conservative ldquoold timersrdquo towatch

There were several wrestling matches and yours truly wouldobtain rib and head injuries with the rib injuries lasting the entirenine-day season The head wound was so ugly that I refused to lookat it the first six days I was in camp

Last night I cooked my meal for the season which was scallopedpotatoes and ham a hot dish made of rice and wild game and squashIn reality you have to have about 50 pounds of food to feed this gangOnce the meal is served you get to belly up to the table the rest of theseason and have someone else prepare your meals

On opening morning there was 18 of us spread out over about15-square miles

Twenty-seven year-old Ryan Moll thought he saw deer as nightwas becoming day and that was confirmed when it became lightenough Ryan had what he described was an ldquoincredibly easy shotrdquo

at a 9-point buck with an 18-inch spread Ryanrsquos trophy had a verybusted up rack and would eventually win the The Red Brush Gangrsquosbig buck contest

About three miles north Doug Cibulka and his 16-year-old sonDerek were hunting an area near the Sprague Mather Flowage Justlike last year Doug and Derek had an experience with a pack of wolvesand later in the day they relocated Doug Cibulka saw a six-pointergoing through the brush and made some venison

Back in the area of our camp Dick Schuster (who is in his mid60s) climbs way up a pine tree and sits all day missed an easy shot

on a six-pointer tried a desperation shot and put a bullet in itrsquos neckThese three guys would be ldquobuck brothersrdquo for the night As far

as the rest of the gang goes over half of us did not see a deerSelina and I hunted where we bow hunted and I believe that the

water levels rising over 10 inches in what was dry marshrsquos and thenfreezing into halfice pushed the deer out of our area In two daysof dark to dark hunting Selina and I would see one deer

Tonight as I have done for 44 consecutive years headed over toNecedah with the gang and ate a turkey dinner at St Francis of As-sisi Catholic Church

On Monday after a very lively Sunday night at camp we began adifferent method of hunting deer which is big drives that literallycover a square mile

Everyone wears hip boots and carries a compass All of us find

out what kind of physical condition we are or are not in and todaywe had pretty steady action and not such good success

None of the adults has a doe tag There are three kids that doThree bucks were kicked up and it sounds like one of them wouldhave won the big buck contest

That buck was shot at by two hunters on a dead run and they bothmissed The half ice that I was talking about is incredibly difficult totravel through The marsh grass grabs your legs above the ice andyou have to break ice to make the next step forward

On Monday night it was down to Ross Moll his dad Jeff Moll (40consecutive years) Doug Cibulka Selina and myself

We ate a great meal Jeff would not let Doug and I go to bed andthe next day we hunted hard and that night we had visitors that keptus up late once again

Every Red Brush Hunter is addicted to this place Sunset

If I was the president Id attack em right now MaybePresident Obama promised last week in a rare

address to the nation that he plans to destroyISIL Whether that means destroying the radicalIslamist group as in wiping them off the ace othe earth in a mighty military massacre or justblocking their Net1047298ix signal so they cant watchBreaking Bad episodes during recess romglobal jihad we cant be sure I mean and I hateto say it the President could not have been muchless impressive in his speech i he had only vowedto not let ull-1047298edged ISIL militants accumulaterequent-1047298yer points while on suicide missionsYeah that woulda taught em a lesson

o be completely truthul -- or truthullycomplete I suppose -- I will tell you that I didnot watch the President deliver his speech onSunday night because 1 Tere was ootball oninstead 2) I orgot about it and 3) I knew hisstatements would be as bland as chicken soup

without the chicken celery carrots bullioncubes salt pepper noodles and paprika 1047298akesTats right about as spicy as water Yeah youdarn right I went there

In his speech the text o which I did readObama said we will hunt down terrorists in anycountry where it is necessary to which VladimirPutin said Oh really o show he has supportor his policies Obama said US allies such asFrance and Britain have ramped up their contri -butions to our military campaign which makesit sound like they are now collecting gently usedwinter coats or our advisors to wear in theSyrian desert Obama also said we are workingwith riends to disrupt ISIL which is aboutthe same verbiage I remember using in juniorhigh when me and some other hooligans tied1047297shing line to the history teachers chair leg and

his bookcase so the case ell on the 1047298oor whenhe went to sit down Yeah we disrupted himall right and had all sorts o time to talk about it

over the next 10 noon hours in the principals offi ce

alk about your post-battle brie1047297ngsIn a speech that lasted about as long as an

average waterboarding session -- but made youeel more like you were being tortured -- Obamareerred directly by name to ISIL 14 times which isbetter ree advertising than having Jennier Lopezwear your companys V-neck -shirt at the SuperBowl halfime show And about that -- why doesObama insist on calling the group ISIL when ev-eryone else on the planet calls it ISIS Is it a speechimpediment thing Is he trying to convince us thathe knows more than we do just because he uses adifferent name Or -- and this is a scary thought-- maybe hes planning to destroy the IndianaShelter or Illiterate Lawyers and weve all just beenmisunderstanding I mean yeah lawyers shouldknow how to read I get it but utter destructionseems a bit harsh

I also thought it was interesting -- no make thatprooundly disturbing -- that the President startedone o his sentences with My ellow Americans asi invoking a Richard Nixon image would somehowreassure the nation that everything possible is beingdone to combat a threatening and dangerous en-emy Because as we all remember -- at least those ous who were born beore the country realized thatBob Dylan really cant sing -- Nixon implementeda strategy known as Vietnamization in whichAmerican advisors were supposed to teach SouthVietnamese people who knew less about moderncombat techniques than Hagar the Horrible howto deeat a determined North Vietnamese orcewith sticks and some paper lea1047298ets dropped outo a helicopter In an inamous policy that datesback arther than the start o that last sentence itailed more miserably than Mason Crosbys game-

winning 1047297eld goal try against Detroit last monthWow Military history and proessional ootball

in one vaguely effective metaphor And they said

it couldnt be doneWhat cant be done at least in my opinion and

that o all the hawkish members o the right-wingCongressional caucus is deeat ISIS with the cur-rent strategy o drone strikes random bombingSpecial Forces operations (whatever the heck that

entails) and hoping that the terrorists run out osuicide bombers beore the Middle East runs outo mosques public markets schools and hotelsthat can be blown up Instead o direct aggressiveand massive-i-necessary military interventionwere relying on such tactics as passive economicsanctions against Yemeni government offi cials whomay be selling cotton to ISIS to make comortableand loose-1047297tting underwear or militant 1047297ghtersor requiring that SA offi cials at airports aroundthe country now politely ask Arab women i theresany possible chance that they might now be orhave ever considered carrying out global jihadwhile posing as a Pakistani woman studying to bea home ec teacher

I will say or the record that I have generallysupported President Obama in his seven years inthe White House his Chicago Bears support asideHowever on this issue I believe he has shownless leadership than a vegan at a pork producersconvention When this country most needs a com-

mander-in-chie whos willing to use the

$560 billion annual US deense budgetor what its there or were getting a guywho seems to be thinking Geez just 11more months to go and Ill be out o hereso the history books can blame the waron ISIL on somebody else

Its not that Im pro-war not by anymeans but sometimes a menace comesalong that is so rightening and capableo causing global terror and sufferingthat world leaders must act I mean Iremember the time in my childhoodsandbox when me and my green plastic

army soldiers were enjoying seemingly endlesspeaceul times when a blue army suddenlyappeared (a whole bag o them as a Christmaspresent ironically) and I suddenly had to makethe call o whether to stop the invasion either by

ull-on combat or to battle the insidious threat lessaggressively by lobbying Congress to pass legisla-tion that would raise the sales tax on bags o bluearmy guys thereby limiting their numbers overyou know say the next 10 years or so

Well you can bet which action I chose andits probably likely that some blue army guybody parts are still buried where my sandboxbattle1047297eld once stood under the box elder treesin our yard Let our President heed that historicallesson that some enemies o peace and reedomcannot be beaten by words and sanctions andmind-numbingly ineffective policies based onaLets cross our 1047297ngers and hope they go awaymission statement

I mean just think had I not conronted theblue army guy menace 40 years ago I might nowbe a screwed-up graying nobody pretending hes

Loyal head boys basketball coach Rob Love has been

making it a point in practices to have his players look upat the individual school sports banners on the wall andto have them notice that ldquo1968rdquo is the last number on theboys basketball programrsquos conference championship list

ldquoI keep pointing it out and saying lsquoThat number canrsquotsurviversquordquo Love said ldquoWersquove got to put another numberup thererdquo

The Greyhounds are off to a 1-1 start in their questto become the first conference champs in the sport in48 years They beat Granton on Dec 4 after losing topreseason favorite Marshfield Columbus and Love saidthis yearrsquos team is ldquostrides aheadrdquo of the 2014-15 versionthat ended up with an 8-8 mark and fifth-place finish in theEastern Cloverbelt Love has some starting experienceback in his lineup and several talented underclassmenwho will see significant playing time and the team shouldimprove as the youngsters learn the speed of the varsitygame

Love has to replace graduates Ryley Fischer LoganGenteman and Tyler Prust who all were significant

contributors a year ago Back in his starting lineup are junior guard Riley Geiger and 6rsquo4rdquo swingman CameronBrussow who give the Greyhounds a potent 1-2 scoringpunch both from the perimeter and the lane SeniorDerrick Howard also returns to the front line to battlefor rebounds and points and seniors Ben Zimmermanand Marcus Genteman will share one starting spotdepending on a given nightrsquos opponent Sophomore LukeBogdonovich is the other starting guard

Underclassmen who will play important minutesinclude sophomores Waylon Froeba Elliot Genteman andJordan Radue and freshman Quinn Brussow Theyrsquoll alsoplay with the junior varsity team but Love will need themfor varsity minutes for depth Senior Josh Zupanc out forthe sport for the first time will get some minutes as well

In Geiger and Cameron Brussow Loyal has a pair ofplayers who can easily post 20-point nights Geiger the2015 WIAA Division 5 state tournament 3-point shootingchampion is even more accurate from behind the arcthan last year Love said

ldquoThe pleasant surprise has been Riley Geigerrsquosperimeter gamerdquo Love said of the early seasondevelopments ldquoHersquos as good as Irsquove seen him Riley hasnrsquotmissed a beat I didnrsquot think hersquod get better but he hasrdquo

Brussow can also bury shots from 3-point range butdefenders had best be careful so he doesnrsquot drive pastthem A tall player with ball-handling skills Brussowcan score from anywhere

ldquoHe doesnrsquot have to play post because he can handlethe ballrdquo Love said ldquoCameron is a kid who can create hisown shot and thatrsquos a unique thing He has pretty highaspirations this yearrdquo

Bogdonovich who was ineligible to play last year aftertransferring to Loyal will bring the Greyhounds a much-needed third scoring option

ldquoWhen our two scoring leaders get things going weexpect defenses to adjust to guard Cameron and RileyrdquoLove said ldquoLuke has a great opportunity to expose thoseadjustments Hersquos got a real high basketball IQ Hersquos calmHe doesnrsquot get rattled His fundamental skills are reallyreally strongrdquo

Love does have some concerns about depth With new

WIAA rule changes for two 18-minutes halves insteadof four 8-minute quarters plus more emphasis on hand-checking players could get in foul trouble

ldquoFouls are my biggest concernrdquo the coach said ldquoIf ourtop three or four get in foul trouble we have guys whocan play but not play the same wayrdquo

That situation should ease some as the seasonprogresses and the younger players gain experience

Also Love said ldquoWersquove had to change the way we playdefense because of the way theyrsquore calling foulsrdquo Loyalwill back away from its aggressive full-court pressureand settle back more to conserve fouls

Even though he has a group of players with good skillsLove said he is still preaching the necessity of taking careof the basketball when the team is on offense

ldquoBall security is priority one two and threerdquo he saidldquoWe have to secure the ball more We have to understandthe value of every possessionrdquo

A pair of intangibles the Greyhounds will use as theytry to match up with the conference favorites are a highbasketball IQ and leadership Love said this group knowsthe game and can benefit from that

ldquoSome of the boys think basketball It makes sense tothemrdquo Love said

Geiger and Cameron Brussow will provide theleadership both in scoring and as floor captains

ldquoOur floor leaders were sophomores last year andtheyrsquore more experienced this yearrdquo Love said ldquoWersquorein good shape Wersquore strides ahead of where we werelast yearrdquo

Love sees Columbus and defending champion Spenceras the teams to beat in the ECC this year Neillsville andLoyal should be also be near the top of the pile when thedust settles with a key for the Greyhounds being ableto keep their leaders injury-free and out of foul trouble

ldquoWersquove got to keep some of our kids on the floorrdquoLove said

Greyhound boys look to make their mark in competitive ECC

T h e L o y a l g i r l sbasketball team came

so close last season todefeating annual nemesisW i s c o n s i n R a p i d sAssumption in a WIAADivision 5 sectional semi-final game Will this bethe year the Greyhoundsfinally get over theAssumption hump to takea big step toward the statetournament

It rsquo s very early int h e s e a s o n b u t t h eGreyhounds proved theyare to be taken seriouslythis season by pushingAssumption to the wireagain in a Thanksgivingweekend tournament Alast-second shot that justmissed would have liftedLoyal over the Royals inthat one but the game atleast showed area teamsthat Loyal is a legitimatecontender again thiswinter To take the nextstep Loyal has to developits bench said head coachMike Rueth and playthrough a brutal non-conference schedule thatincludes the early season1 and 2 ranked Division5 teams in the state

Loyal finished 22-4overall last year and wonits first Eastern CloverbeltConference championship

The stellar season endedwith a 56-52 sectional lossto Assumption a gamein which the Greyhoundsovercame a double digit deficit in the second half toalmost steal a win That team included now-departedseniors Missy Benz Jaelynn Young and Katie Hoeserthree players who will all be difficult to replace Havingnew reserves step in will be a key to Loyalrsquos 2015-16season Rueth said

Loyalrsquos starting five is as strong as ever Senior pointguard Devyn Schoonover and junior front-line playersMorgan Reinwand and Karsyn Rueth are all back intheir starting roles with a summer of competitive AAUbasketball behind them

ldquoYou can see the time that those kids put inrdquo coachRueth said

Moving into the starting lineup this year are seniorsJaedyn Pieper and Ryleigh Wilke two players who werea part of the main rotation last year They have plenty

of experience the coach said and have already proventhemselves as capable starters in early games this year

ldquoThey passed the test on the first nightrdquo Rueth saidldquoRight now our starting five really gets itrdquo

Repeat ECC title and more are on Loyal girls teamrsquos list of goals

Amanda Zettler Alexis Dietsche (back) Hailey Rueth Bailey Parker Karsyn Rueth Ryleigh Wilke and BryannaRayhorn

Players who Rueth is counting on to step in withvaluable contributions will include senior post playerBailey Parker who played on the varsity last year andknows the system well and freshman Hailey Rueth ayet-unproven player who will be counted on to play alow-post spot and contribute on defense and rebounding

ldquoShe has all the ability in the worldrdquo Rueth said ldquoWersquollwant her to be an offensive and defensive rebounder anda defensive specialist for us What she could do for us isall the little thingsrdquo

Others who will see varsity time include seniorAmanda Zettler junior Alexis Dietsche and sophomoreBryanna Rayhorn Their development and contributionswill be important because games are longer now with therule change to halves intend of quarters and an increasedemphasis on preventing contact on the court

They have to fill a rolerdquo Rueth said of his reservesldquoBecause of the way things are being called with thenew rules you have to have a bench Theyrsquore just callingeverything so tight nowrdquo

Having an experiencedstarting team at the

beginning of the seasonis a definite advantageRueth said because hedidnrsquot have to start withbasics However it willtake some time for thereserve players to catchup and being patient untilthey do will be important

ldquoWhen you start yourfirst practice yoursquore goingat full speed right fromthe beginningrdquo Ruethsaid ldquoThatrsquos where ourreserves are a little bitbehind Our starting five isquality We just donrsquot havethe bench we had last yearbut I think we can Wersquoregoing to get them thererdquo

Rueth believes thisyearrsquos team again has thetalent to win a conferencechampionship and somegoals are in sight beyondthat Loyal has alreadybeaten perennial ECCpower Neillsville andexpects competition fromOwen-Withee and Spencerdown the road

ldquoTherersquos no doubt wecould repeat as conferencechamps but things have togo our wayrdquo the coach saidldquoTheir (players) goals areto set on being conferencechampions againrdquo

The players also want to

win the conference cross-ver title game this yearLast winter they werebeaten by a Fall Creek

team that advanced to the state tournamentTo get his Greyhounds prepared for the inevitable

tough competition in the WIAA post-season playoffsRueth put together a difficult non-conference schedulethat includes the Assumption tournament a non-conference game against a strong Elk Mound team anda January Saturday road trip to take on Barneveld thedefending D5 state champ that is again ranked 1 Ruethis hoping that schedule will help it improve enough toget past the playoff roadblock it has encountered thepast few seasons

ldquoWersquore hoping that our non-conference schedule isgoing to get us over the humprdquo the coach said

To repeat Spencer needs young players to develop quicklyThe 2014-15 Spencer

boys basketball teamthat won the EasternCloverbelt Conferencetitle with a 14-2 leaguerecord was a mature onewith several players whohad been varsity startersfor two or even threeyears The 2015-16 teamthat will try to repeat asconference champs is notas experienced and maytake some time to developbefore itrsquos ready to play itsbest ball

The start of Spencerrsquosseason has been delayedby the football teamrsquos runto the state title gameThe Rockets postponed

their first two scheduledgames and were to openthe season with a Dec8 non-conference gameagainst Edgar Once theschedule begins coachRandy Recknerrsquos squadwill be faced with thetask of getting somenewcomers up to speedto complement a startingline-up that still includessome varsity veterans

Spencer has 2014-15 ECC player of the year Bobby Pilzback for one more season and he again will be reliedupon for his scoring abilities With starters Miles WeberNate Mercier and Mitchell Susa all gone via graduationPilzrsquo points will be even more critical this year asReckner looks for ways to bolster the teamrsquos offensivepunch Itrsquos not helping any that projected starting guard

Noah Zastrow and post player Dakota Andreae are bothlost for significant time with football-related injurieswhich seriously crimps the Rocketsrsquo depth

Joining Pilz on the starting squad will be Ryan Bussea senior who will be starting for the third-straight year

seniors Calvin Lenz and Jonny Tomke and sophomoreAaron Pankratz Lenz though not a starter in the pastplayed a crucial role on last yearrsquos team and is a versatilescorer who can defend Tomke is athletic and ldquocan helpus in a lot of waysrdquo Reckner said

Those players are proven at the varsity level whilePankratz will get his first taste of it this season Hersquoll be

the teamrsquos starting point guard and his skills as a ballhandler will be tested

ldquoWersquore asking a lot of himrdquo Reckner said ldquoHersquos avery smart kidrdquo

Others who will play in the main rotation will include

sophomores Jack Bezlyk and Jacob Miller Both of them

were important parts of a successful junior varsityteam a year ago and will be called upon to step up thenext level

Bezlyk should add some offenseldquoI think hersquos going to surprise a lot of people with

his scoring abilityrdquo Reckner said ldquoHersquos pretty athleticrdquoMiller is a post player with natural rebounding

instinctsldquoHersquos got the knack of finding the ballrdquo the coach

saidFinding new sources of of fense will be a key for the

Rockets as Susa and Mercier both averaged in doublefigures last year

ldquoWersquove got to replace a lot of scoringrdquo Reckner saidand Pilz is the most likely source

ldquoWersquore going to have to depend on him a lotrdquo Recknersaid with Busse and Lenz also being asked to pick uptheir offensive contributions

Adding to the challenge of repeating as conferencechamps is the relative youth of this team Reckner

has been spoiled in recent years with a plentitude ofexperience but thatrsquos not the case this winter

ldquoI had 2- and 3-year starters last year This year wersquorea little more inexperiencedrdquo Reckner said ldquoTherersquos a lotof teaching going on with the younger guysrdquo

Depth could be a problem for Spencer especially earlyin the season while the sophomores are growing intotheir new roles With Zastrow probably not likely to playuntil late in the season and Andreae out for probably amonth Spencer will have to rely on young players tolearn quickly

ldquoOur depth could be an issuerdquo the coach said ldquoWeprobably would be 9-deep with those two Now wersquoreprobably seven or eight just because of our inexperienceOur conference is going to be really good Hopefully they(younger players) can learn on the flyrdquo

Marshfield Columbus is looking like Spencerrsquos mainchallenge to a repeat ECC title with Neillsville andOwen-Withee also looking strong Reckner said ForSpencer to be atop the standings again at seasonrsquos end

a lot has to fall into placeldquoWe need to be consistent we need to gel as a teamrdquo

Reckner said ldquoWe need to grow up fast In any year tobe a conference champ yoursquove got to catch some breaksrdquo

Rockets girls team off to solid start more growth expected

The 2015-16 Spencer girls basketball team (front from left) Kallie Reckner Macie WeberSydney Kind Nadia King (back) Sabrina Vircks Sadie Mercier Katie Fleischman Lexi

Baehr Jessica Becker Courtney Buss and Liz Endreas

Just a few games into the 2015-16 season Spencer headgirls basketball coach Brian Abel has seen significantimprovement over last year in the way his team isperforming The Rockets are getting mentioned by othercoaches in the Eastern Cloverbelt Conference as a teamto watch out for as Spencer blends decent height and agood outside game into an improving program

Abelrsquos teams went 6-17 two years ago and 6-16 lastyear but this yearrsquos group is off to a 2-1 start with ECCwins over Colby and Marshfield Columbus Those areteams that swept the Rockets last season so Abel has agood sense that things are improving in his programThe players are familiar now with Abelrsquos coaching styleand terminolog y he said and can focus more on playingbasketball

This yearrsquos starting squad is an interesting mix ofinside-outside skills Senior Nadia King returns at thepoint while sophomore guard Lexi Baehr is in her secondvarsity year with perimeter shooting prowess JuniorCourtney Buss mans another spot while seniors Macie

Weber and Sydney Kindgive the Rockets a stronginside presence

Kallie Reckner andLiz Endreas may also getsome starts and will be inthe main rotation KatieFleischmann and JessicaBecker will also get someminutes while SabrinaVircks and Sadie Mercierwill split varsityjuniorvarsity time at least in theearly part of the season

Abel has to find ways toreplace the contributionsof Abby Varsho MelissaLehman and KaitlynWalter who all graduatedHe still has plenty ofreturning players to turnto though and that hashelped in the early season

ldquoTherersquos a lot lessteaching this year becausewersquove got a lot comingbackrdquo Abel said ldquoYou cansee it with our fast startrdquo

Spencer will continue

to run a motion offenselooking for the openperimeter shot or dumpingthe ball inside to Weber or Kind if they have a favorablematchup on the post If the shooters are on the systemworks well

ldquoIt keeps that inside-outside game working Itrsquos a goodbalance so farrdquo Abel said

Defensively the Rockets prefer to fall into a half-court2-3 zone but will come out to play man-to-man at timesThe Rockets want to prevent easy fast-break points andtry to get back in defensive positions

ldquoWe donrsquot want teams to run on usrdquo Abel said ldquoWersquore

very good at getting up and down the court I feel thisteam is very versatile in what we can dordquo

Depth-wise Abel says he has enough quality playersto substitute as needed

ldquoWe have decent depth Itrsquos not shallow by any meansrdquohe said ldquoWe can go eight or nine deep and be alrightrdquo

The Rockets still have to work on some fundamentalsto compete with top teams

ldquoWersquove got to box out defensivelyrdquo he said ldquoOn offensetherersquos an emphasis on limiting turnovers We hadproblems last year with passing under pressurerdquo

One thing Abel is looking for is steady improvementThe year is off to a good start but he wants to maintainthe development as the season progresses

ldquoItrsquos definitely been an improvement from the yearbeforerdquo he said of the teamrsquos early season ldquoI think thegirls just have another year under the system Itrsquos thatcontinual growthrdquo

One goal for Abel this season is to sweep conference

teams that Spencer split its two games with last yearand at least split with those who beat Spencer twiceThatrsquos already happened with the wins over Colby andColumbus

Abel sees Loyal Neillsville and Owen-Withee asthe usual conference favorites Spencer may not be tothe level of those programs yet he said but continuedimprovement will narrow the gap If attitude meansanything his team will be competitive

ldquoThey put the time in They donrsquot want to loserdquo Abelsaid of his players

Spencer-Columbus wrestlers looking for big results this yearTwo seasons ago Spencer head wrestling coach Jake

Zschernitz had no one to fill his lightweight positionsLast year he had the lightweights but then not theheavyweights Finally this season with the resumptionof a co-op program with Marshfield ColumbusZschernitz has everybody he needs and the Rockets lookto be strong

With three wrestlers returning this season afterqualifying for the state meet a year ago -- plus the additionof Columbus athletes and a few underclassmen -- theRockets look to be headed for a strong 2015-16 campaignThey wonrsquot have to overcome the forfeit points theyallowed in the last two seasons and that has Zschernitzthinking the Rockets can repeat as Cloverbelt Conferencedual meet champions and also take the conferencetournament

Spencer-Columbus will be solid at several weightsReturning are 2015 state qualifiers sophomore BryceShaw at 126 pounds senior Tim Bauer at 138 andsophomore Hunter Luepke at 195 Seniors HunterHildebrandt (170) Austin Post (132) and Nate Neumann

(160) also return to the varsity lineupColumbus freshmen Jake Dick (106) and Zach Wheeler-Savoy (113) will take over the lightweight spots whilesophomore Dominick Wichlacz will be at 120 SophomoreJeremiah Giles is slotted in at 145 and freshman CarsonHildebrandt will be at 152 Senior Jake Hainzlsperger willman the 182-pound class senior Elijah Welsh and juniorMax Johnson will contend at 220 and freshman LoganZschernitz and senior Ryan Schauer are the heavyweightchallengers

Shaw placed sixth at state last year the highest finishever for a Spencer freshman Bauer worked hard overthe summer to get even better than his state-qualifyingform of a year ago and Luepke is back as a defendingconference champion and state qualifier HunterHildebrandt and Neumann are also 2015 conferencetournament champions

ldquoThat whole group is going to be a big part of oursuccessrdquo Zschernitz said

Newcomers expected to help include Carson

Hildebrandt and Logan Zschernitz who both haveconsiderable youth wrestling experience Welsh couldbe an interesting wrestler to watch and is someonewho the coach describes as ldquoa naturalrdquo but hasnrsquot beenable to compete at the varsity level because Columbusdidnrsquot have a program Austin Post will bring his footballathleticism to the mat as well and Johnson -- who did notgo out for wrestling last year -- was a sectional qualifieras a freshman

The addition of the Columbus wrestlers at last givesZschernitz the athletes he needs at the right weights

ldquoIf we didnrsquot have them the lightweights would behard to fill againrdquo the coach said

The addition of Columbus will push the Rocketprogram into Division 2 for the state tournament seriesbut Zschernitz doesnrsquot see that as an issue In fact movingout of D3 means the Rockets can avoid such usual smallschool powerhouses as Stratford and Edgar

Zschernitz expects his team can repeat as Cloverbeltdual meet champs and should be a top contender at theconference meet Last year the Rockets lost to Stanley-Boyd by only a few points partly because it had to forfeitat two weights

Not this year And not only does Zschernitz have a fullteam but he has a group thatrsquos as confident as can be afterthe Spencer-Columbus football team went all the way tothe state championship game Many of the athletes areon both teams

ldquoTop to bottom this is definitely the best team wersquovehadrdquo Zschernitz said ldquoWersquore fairly solid all the waythrough Wersquore hoping with the success of the footballco-op it carries over to wrestling Wrestling and footballgo hand-in-hand in my opinion I think the run in footballhelped just to show them they can get to that level if theywant to workrdquo

Greenwood head boys basketball coach EricJohnsonrsquos entire starting five from last year put ona graduation robe in May and headed off to newadventures Left behind in the Greenwood program area few experienced varsity players a wealth of talentedunderclassmen and a question mark as to how fast thisyearrsquos team can develop

In Johnsonrsquos first year as head coach his senior-dominated squad posted a 7-9 record in the EasternCloverbelt Conference and a 10-13 overall mark Gonefrom the group are graduates Booker Bredlau and LoganJohnson who both received all-conference mention andfellow starters Dane Toburen Delten Schmitz and DylanNorth To say Johnson has a rebuilding job on his handsthis year may be just a bit of an understatement

he does have a pair of seniors back in Decker Lindnerand Sam Revier who saw considerable varsity time in2014-15 Joining them as starters will be juniors TrevorSerocki and Zach Zimbauer and sophomore DevinToburen Junior Walker Wuethrich will usually be thefirst guy off the bench with senior Aaron Lindner

junior Cole Lucas and sophomore Tyler Genteman alsofiguring into the rotationldquoWersquore inexperienced at the varsity levelrdquo Johnson

said ldquoThe kids are going to have to catch up to the gamespeed Irsquove got basketball talent out there Hopefully byChristmas time the kids will be caught up and we canbe competitive in every gamerdquo

Greenwood started the season with a non-conferenceloss to Abbotsford and ECC losses to Colby andNeillsville That result is to be expected at least for awhile as the players learn what it takes to compete atthe varsity pace

ldquoThey understand the offense and defense andwhat I want out of themrdquo Johnson said ldquoThe kidsall understand the offense really well Itrsquos just gettingthem up to game speed and you canrsquot simulate that inpracticerdquo

Serocki is showing solid skills at point guard andRevier and Decker Lindner should give the Indiansrebounding defense and inside scoring Toburen is a

versatile player who should develop as he gets varsityminutes

ldquoHe can score inside and outsiderdquo the coach saidldquoHe can handle the ball and rebound He gives me alittle of everythingrdquo

Greenwood will not be able to rely on a strongperimeter game as the young shooters are still tryingto find their range It could be a streaky season as aplayer or two gets hot then cools down

ldquoI donrsquot have a pure shooterrdquo Johnson said ldquoI haveguys who can stroke it but they can lose the stroke just as fastrdquo

Ball security is another area of concern The Indianshave averaged more turnovers than Johnson wants inthe teamrsquos first games Fouls have also been an issuebut that is partly due to officialsrsquo new emphasis onhand-checking and a switch to longer halves intend ofquarters

Johnson said he expects a balanced scoring attackat least until someone emerges as a consistent source

of pointsldquoNobody is really going to stand outrdquo he said ldquoI have

not found that guy yet I hope either Devin or Trevorwill develop into that guyrdquo

Greenwood head basketball coach Carey Petrirsquosfirst year at the helm of the program was not the mostpleasant one with most of her starting and contributingplayers suspended for half the season and the juniorvarsity players called up to fill in One positive fromthat experience is that several young players got varsitytime -- albeit before they were ready -- and that shouldtranslate to a more mature team this season

Petrirsquos Indians are off to a 1-3 start this season as theytry to put last yearrsquos season in the rear-view mirror Theteam took a major blow before this season even startedwhen star senior Taylor Opelt injured her knee in anopen gym workout She was last yearrsquos leading scorerand would have been the centerpiece of Petrirsquos offensethis season

Petrirsquos main group of players this year includesseniors Ashley Walker Lexi Hinker and Renee Herdrich junior Kassidy Lamovec and sophomores Kelly Nielsenand Kaylee Learman Seniors Kaylee Meyer NatalieHackel and Kristyn Nigon are also getting considerableminutes early in the season

In addition to losing Opelt Petri also has to replacegraduates Morgan Hinker and Madison Lucas Thatleaves a huge scoring void to fill which Petri willattempt to cover by having the Indians play a slow tempostyle in which they wait patiently for good shots

ldquoWersquore trying to focus on playing our offense andplaying to our tempordquo she said ldquoWersquore trying to slowthings downrdquo

Several of the key players on this yearrsquos team wereforced into varsity action a year ago and that is payingdividends now

ldquoWith those freshmen who played it kind of got thenerves out of the way a little bitrdquo Petri said

With everyone more comfortable in their roles thisyearrsquos team is playing better as a group One of theIndiansrsquo strengths should be cohesion

ldquoI think this year our chemistry our working welltogether is a strengthrdquo Petri said ldquoWersquore coming closeras a teamrdquo

Shooting has been an issue early for the Indians The

team needs improvement from the perimeter the coachsaid as it has little height to set up plays to the post

ldquoThe shooting is getting betterrdquo Petri said ldquoWersquoreworking on itrdquo

The defense is also showing improvement withplayers adjusting to their responsibilities in the man-

Greenwood girls looking for improvement as season progresses

to-man schemeldquoItrsquos definitely better than last yearrdquo Petri said

ldquoWersquore getting to the spots faster We understand the

rotationsrdquoThe players are also aware of the need for better ball

handling One reason for slowing the tempo down is toavoid situations where opponents pressure the Indiansinto turnovers

ldquoOther teams are aggressive and we tend to panicrdquo

Petri saidThe goals for this yearrsquos teams are modest with an

emphasis on improvement Petri said she wants her

team to develop its skills and get better each time outand the wins will come

ldquoIn time we can come together and play our offenserdquoshe said ldquoObviously I want to have a better team thanlast year Winning half our games would be our ultimategoal right nowrdquo

Almost a third of the way through themonth of December and we are reachingthe magical day -- the shortest day of theyear While we are still losing daylight atthe rate of a minute a day there is goodnews Sunset time has about reached itslowest point

With a month of above-normal weath-er in November the same is holding trueso far in December and that is just fine

with me I do feel sorry for the kids whohave no snow to slide on or no ice toskate on but so far I have escaped fallingbecause of the stuff

I also feel sorry for those snowmobil-ers who are waiting to get their sleds outI noticed the other day someone from thesnowmobile club was busy putting uptrail signs in anticipation of what maybe coming

The same can be said about the countyhighway department which has lots ofsteel posts in place but still no fenceHopefully it will be there by the time itis needed

While my column list of ideas keeps

growing I glance at my stack of oldGreenwood Gleaners and think I needto get through them some day So here it

goes again this weekThe Sept 7 1944 issue carried a story

about the death of Norman ldquoBudrdquo Wal-lis somewhere in France on Aug 10Elsewhere in the issue is a list of sevenother Greenwood area servicemen whohad lost their lives in World War II Theywere J T Leach Warren Oswald HenryJohnson Stephen Arch Richard HinkerLee Blecha and Kermit Brown

The Oct 19 1944 issue carried a storyof the death of yet another servicemanHerbert Humke He had been in thearmy air force and had been stationed inEngland before being killed on Sept 20Elsewhere in that issue was a picture ofa serviceman modeling a new uniform jacket It became known as the Eisen-hower jacket named after Gen DwightEisenhower

There were a number of papers miss-ing from the stack that I received fromJune Noeldner The next issue was May311945 with more news of our service-men Lt Elery Poppe had been awardedthe Silver Star for action against theenemy in Saipan in July of 1944

Then another story told of the lib-eration from a German prisoner-of-warcamp for Clarence Meinhardt by GenGeorge Pattonrsquos Third Army He had beena prisoner since the fall of 1942

The June 7 1945 paper carried a story

that Clark County had been denied arequest to install a police radio systemThe War Production Board had decidedthere was not sufficient justification anda shortage of materials

Then there was a pile of papers onwhich the date is missing One itemcaught my attention It was a classi-fied and someone had lost their crank

lsquobetween Jim Sythrsquos and Eaton CenterCheese FactoryrsquoThis was well before the rural address

system An auction was described aslsquoon my farm known as the Frank Budkeold place two miles east and 1 14 milesnorth of Greenwood or 1 14 from Shil-ling Stationrsquo

The C C Hoehne Hardware Store wasadvertising the Coleman Quick-Lite Ithad 300 candle power and you could lightit with a common match

Another paper without a date ransome area news The Willard news told ofthe ball game between Tioga and Hewit-tville which the former won 11 to 5

Albert Susa is thinking of movingto Gorman because ldquoWillard isnrsquot bigenoughrdquo

Potato digging was the order of theday in Heintown and John Schmidt wasa business caller at Neillsville and sincehas been wearing his hat on one side

I never heard of Latart but the newsthere was that most of the young peoplefrom Beaver took in the dance at Rip-linger on Saturday night

It was also reported that Ezra Scovilpurchased six cows at Stantonrsquos auctionSaturday He also visited relatives atWarners Cor ners on Sunday

In the Eaton Center news it was re-ported that cows sold as high as $102Then over in the Janesville SettlementJoe Lokatich raised his barn on Thurs-day and Mrs Dillenbeck and Roger mo-tored to Neillsville

Another piece of a paper had no date

but a story told of the growth in bank de-posits in 1917 compared to the previousyear Total deposits grew from $3099096to $4169845 There were eighteen banksin the county at the time and the articledescribed Clark County as a county ofmilk honey and money

There are some advantages of being asenior citizen We not only had a groupof Christmas carolers stop by they left uswith cookies and a couple of gifts Life isgreat Thanks kids

Online gift shopping during the holiday season opensup the market to scammers using fake shipping emails tospread malware or gather personal or banking informa-tion The Wisconsin Department of Agriculture Tradeand Consumer Protection (DATCP) warns consumersto be on the lookout for these fake emails and to avoidclicking links or opening attachments in these messages

ldquoWhether you shop online or not expect to start seeingfraudulent package delivery and lsquoorder statusrsquo emails inyour accountrdquo said Frank Frassetto Division Adminis-trator for Trade and Consumer Protection ldquoThis ployoccurs year-round but the holiday shopping season is achance for scammers to increase their spam email outputand sneak them in around legitimate shipment emailsthat consumers might also be receivingrdquo

Look out for emails or texts that warn you about aproblem with a delivery that ask for account informa-tion for security purposes or that ask you to open anattached ldquoshipment labelrdquo in order to claim a packagefrom a local office Scammers often use the names logos

and color schemes of major shipping companies andretailers to add legitimacy to their messages and they

may also spoof the companyrsquos web address (URL) in thesenderrsquos email addressIf you question whether an email link is legitimate

hover the mouse over the link (but donrsquot click it) At thebottom of your browser window you can view the URLwhere the link will actually take you

Look out for the following red flags in your inbox thisholiday season

-- Messages claiming that there is a ldquoproblemrdquo with ashipment or your account These emails will ask you toprovide personal or banking information or to completea form on a linked page in order to fix the supposed prob-lem Do not reply or click any links in the email

-- Poor grammar and spelling errors in emails thatclaim to come from major organizations If the messageis sloppy it likely did not come from a legitimate business

-- Sender addresses that donrsquot match the URL for thecompany that supposedly sent the email For example theldquoFromrdquo line in a fake FedEx email read ldquoFrom FedExExpress Saver (support_myfasthaircom)rdquo

-- Shipment emails that lack specifics about the senderor the packagersquos supposed contents

-- Emails asking you to open an attachment in orderto review an order Never open an attachment in an un-solicited or questionable email

-- Emails containing threats that a package will bereturned to the sender and you will be charged a fee fornot responding to the message

In actua lity there isno product waiting fordelivery and the alarminglanguage in these emails

is intended to make recipients act quickly without con-sidering consequences By clicking on any of the links

in the email a recipient risks downloading malware orhanding over personal information to the scammers Ifyou receive a similar email delete it and do not click anyof the links contained anywhere in the message

If you are expecting a shipment that may be delayedcontact the shipper directly to inquire Some e-commercecompanies offer package tracking features right on theirwebsite If you made an online purchase log into youraccount on the site and see if these options are available

For additional information or to file a complaint visitthe Consumer Protection Bureau at datcpwisconsingovcall the Consumer Information Hotline at 800-422-7128 orsend an e-mail to datcphotlinewisconsingov

More than 600000 deer hunters em-braced the excitement of another nine-day gun deer season in Wisconsin andpreliminary numbers show an increasein both deer registration numbers andlicense sales through the end of the nine-day season

This yearrsquos preliminary nine-day gundeer hunt registration figures indicate atotal of 204725 deer harvested during thenine-day season compared to 199583 in2014 Since this is the first year using theGameReg system department staff areverifying this preliminary data to makesure it is correct It is possible that this

number may change slightly followingadditional evaluation

ldquoIrsquom pleased to see an increase in deerharvest numbers from last yearrdquo said BobNack DNR big game section chief ldquoHunt-ers experienced varying levels of successthroughout the state and had an enjoyabletime with family and friendsrdquo

In 2015 preliminary nine-day harvestnumbers were collected through the Ga-meReg system Hunters were required toregister their deer by 5 pm the day afterharvest as opposed to 5 pm the day afterthe nine-day season closed in years past

DNR customer service staff received

positive feedback from hunters through-out the nine-day season as they learned touse the new system Hunters who forgot toregister their deer are required to do soeven if beyond the 5 pm daily deadline

son 23870 first-time hunters (or thosewho have not hunted in the last 10 years)have taken advantage of the first-time gundeer buyer license compared to 17644 ar-chery hunters Deer license and tag saleswill continue throughout the remaininghunting seasons

DNR investigated eight hunting inci-dents during the nine-day gun deer seasonfive non-fatal (Rock Marathon JacksonPolk and Manitowoc) and three fatal (Co-lumbia Waushara and Marathon)

Deer Camp The best place on EarthHello friendsThis is a summary of the first five days of deer camp for The Red

Brush Gang We call a 36x18 foot pole barn home each Novemberwhich we put up on public land in The Meadow Valley Wildlife Area

By the last day of the season over 25 people will have slept in it

and let me tell ya folks we hunt hard and at night we have a lot of funSaturday Nov 21 -- high 35 low 22The majority of the gang came to camp on Thursday night and

with about a dozen of our members being in the 20-something agerange the evening is just a blast for us conservative ldquoold timersrdquo towatch

There were several wrestling matches and yours truly wouldobtain rib and head injuries with the rib injuries lasting the entirenine-day season The head wound was so ugly that I refused to lookat it the first six days I was in camp

Last night I cooked my meal for the season which was scallopedpotatoes and ham a hot dish made of rice and wild game and squashIn reality you have to have about 50 pounds of food to feed this gangOnce the meal is served you get to belly up to the table the rest of theseason and have someone else prepare your meals

On opening morning there was 18 of us spread out over about15-square miles

Twenty-seven year-old Ryan Moll thought he saw deer as nightwas becoming day and that was confirmed when it became lightenough Ryan had what he described was an ldquoincredibly easy shotrdquo

at a 9-point buck with an 18-inch spread Ryanrsquos trophy had a verybusted up rack and would eventually win the The Red Brush Gangrsquosbig buck contest

About three miles north Doug Cibulka and his 16-year-old sonDerek were hunting an area near the Sprague Mather Flowage Justlike last year Doug and Derek had an experience with a pack of wolvesand later in the day they relocated Doug Cibulka saw a six-pointergoing through the brush and made some venison

Back in the area of our camp Dick Schuster (who is in his mid60s) climbs way up a pine tree and sits all day missed an easy shot

on a six-pointer tried a desperation shot and put a bullet in itrsquos neckThese three guys would be ldquobuck brothersrdquo for the night As far

as the rest of the gang goes over half of us did not see a deerSelina and I hunted where we bow hunted and I believe that the

water levels rising over 10 inches in what was dry marshrsquos and thenfreezing into halfice pushed the deer out of our area In two daysof dark to dark hunting Selina and I would see one deer

Tonight as I have done for 44 consecutive years headed over toNecedah with the gang and ate a turkey dinner at St Francis of As-sisi Catholic Church

On Monday after a very lively Sunday night at camp we began adifferent method of hunting deer which is big drives that literallycover a square mile

Everyone wears hip boots and carries a compass All of us find

out what kind of physical condition we are or are not in and todaywe had pretty steady action and not such good success

None of the adults has a doe tag There are three kids that doThree bucks were kicked up and it sounds like one of them wouldhave won the big buck contest

That buck was shot at by two hunters on a dead run and they bothmissed The half ice that I was talking about is incredibly difficult totravel through The marsh grass grabs your legs above the ice andyou have to break ice to make the next step forward

On Monday night it was down to Ross Moll his dad Jeff Moll (40consecutive years) Doug Cibulka Selina and myself

We ate a great meal Jeff would not let Doug and I go to bed andthe next day we hunted hard and that night we had visitors that keptus up late once again

Every Red Brush Hunter is addicted to this place Sunset

If I was the president Id attack em right now MaybePresident Obama promised last week in a rare

address to the nation that he plans to destroyISIL Whether that means destroying the radicalIslamist group as in wiping them off the ace othe earth in a mighty military massacre or justblocking their Net1047298ix signal so they cant watchBreaking Bad episodes during recess romglobal jihad we cant be sure I mean and I hateto say it the President could not have been muchless impressive in his speech i he had only vowedto not let ull-1047298edged ISIL militants accumulaterequent-1047298yer points while on suicide missionsYeah that woulda taught em a lesson

o be completely truthul -- or truthullycomplete I suppose -- I will tell you that I didnot watch the President deliver his speech onSunday night because 1 Tere was ootball oninstead 2) I orgot about it and 3) I knew hisstatements would be as bland as chicken soup

without the chicken celery carrots bullioncubes salt pepper noodles and paprika 1047298akesTats right about as spicy as water Yeah youdarn right I went there

In his speech the text o which I did readObama said we will hunt down terrorists in anycountry where it is necessary to which VladimirPutin said Oh really o show he has supportor his policies Obama said US allies such asFrance and Britain have ramped up their contri -butions to our military campaign which makesit sound like they are now collecting gently usedwinter coats or our advisors to wear in theSyrian desert Obama also said we are workingwith riends to disrupt ISIL which is aboutthe same verbiage I remember using in juniorhigh when me and some other hooligans tied1047297shing line to the history teachers chair leg and

his bookcase so the case ell on the 1047298oor whenhe went to sit down Yeah we disrupted himall right and had all sorts o time to talk about it

over the next 10 noon hours in the principals offi ce

alk about your post-battle brie1047297ngsIn a speech that lasted about as long as an

average waterboarding session -- but made youeel more like you were being tortured -- Obamareerred directly by name to ISIL 14 times which isbetter ree advertising than having Jennier Lopezwear your companys V-neck -shirt at the SuperBowl halfime show And about that -- why doesObama insist on calling the group ISIL when ev-eryone else on the planet calls it ISIS Is it a speechimpediment thing Is he trying to convince us thathe knows more than we do just because he uses adifferent name Or -- and this is a scary thought-- maybe hes planning to destroy the IndianaShelter or Illiterate Lawyers and weve all just beenmisunderstanding I mean yeah lawyers shouldknow how to read I get it but utter destructionseems a bit harsh

I also thought it was interesting -- no make thatprooundly disturbing -- that the President startedone o his sentences with My ellow Americans asi invoking a Richard Nixon image would somehowreassure the nation that everything possible is beingdone to combat a threatening and dangerous en-emy Because as we all remember -- at least those ous who were born beore the country realized thatBob Dylan really cant sing -- Nixon implementeda strategy known as Vietnamization in whichAmerican advisors were supposed to teach SouthVietnamese people who knew less about moderncombat techniques than Hagar the Horrible howto deeat a determined North Vietnamese orcewith sticks and some paper lea1047298ets dropped outo a helicopter In an inamous policy that datesback arther than the start o that last sentence itailed more miserably than Mason Crosbys game-

winning 1047297eld goal try against Detroit last monthWow Military history and proessional ootball

in one vaguely effective metaphor And they said

it couldnt be doneWhat cant be done at least in my opinion and

that o all the hawkish members o the right-wingCongressional caucus is deeat ISIS with the cur-rent strategy o drone strikes random bombingSpecial Forces operations (whatever the heck that

entails) and hoping that the terrorists run out osuicide bombers beore the Middle East runs outo mosques public markets schools and hotelsthat can be blown up Instead o direct aggressiveand massive-i-necessary military interventionwere relying on such tactics as passive economicsanctions against Yemeni government offi cials whomay be selling cotton to ISIS to make comortableand loose-1047297tting underwear or militant 1047297ghtersor requiring that SA offi cials at airports aroundthe country now politely ask Arab women i theresany possible chance that they might now be orhave ever considered carrying out global jihadwhile posing as a Pakistani woman studying to bea home ec teacher

I will say or the record that I have generallysupported President Obama in his seven years inthe White House his Chicago Bears support asideHowever on this issue I believe he has shownless leadership than a vegan at a pork producersconvention When this country most needs a com-

mander-in-chie whos willing to use the

$560 billion annual US deense budgetor what its there or were getting a guywho seems to be thinking Geez just 11more months to go and Ill be out o hereso the history books can blame the waron ISIL on somebody else

Its not that Im pro-war not by anymeans but sometimes a menace comesalong that is so rightening and capableo causing global terror and sufferingthat world leaders must act I mean Iremember the time in my childhoodsandbox when me and my green plastic

army soldiers were enjoying seemingly endlesspeaceul times when a blue army suddenlyappeared (a whole bag o them as a Christmaspresent ironically) and I suddenly had to makethe call o whether to stop the invasion either by

ull-on combat or to battle the insidious threat lessaggressively by lobbying Congress to pass legisla-tion that would raise the sales tax on bags o bluearmy guys thereby limiting their numbers overyou know say the next 10 years or so

Well you can bet which action I chose andits probably likely that some blue army guybody parts are still buried where my sandboxbattle1047297eld once stood under the box elder treesin our yard Let our President heed that historicallesson that some enemies o peace and reedomcannot be beaten by words and sanctions andmind-numbingly ineffective policies based onaLets cross our 1047297ngers and hope they go awaymission statement

I mean just think had I not conronted theblue army guy menace 40 years ago I might nowbe a screwed-up graying nobody pretending hes

an expert on oreign policyOh shaddup

Loyal head boys basketball coach Rob Love has been

making it a point in practices to have his players look upat the individual school sports banners on the wall andto have them notice that ldquo1968rdquo is the last number on theboys basketball programrsquos conference championship list

ldquoI keep pointing it out and saying lsquoThat number canrsquotsurviversquordquo Love said ldquoWersquove got to put another numberup thererdquo

The Greyhounds are off to a 1-1 start in their questto become the first conference champs in the sport in48 years They beat Granton on Dec 4 after losing topreseason favorite Marshfield Columbus and Love saidthis yearrsquos team is ldquostrides aheadrdquo of the 2014-15 versionthat ended up with an 8-8 mark and fifth-place finish in theEastern Cloverbelt Love has some starting experienceback in his lineup and several talented underclassmenwho will see significant playing time and the team shouldimprove as the youngsters learn the speed of the varsitygame

Love has to replace graduates Ryley Fischer LoganGenteman and Tyler Prust who all were significant

contributors a year ago Back in his starting lineup are junior guard Riley Geiger and 6rsquo4rdquo swingman CameronBrussow who give the Greyhounds a potent 1-2 scoringpunch both from the perimeter and the lane SeniorDerrick Howard also returns to the front line to battlefor rebounds and points and seniors Ben Zimmermanand Marcus Genteman will share one starting spotdepending on a given nightrsquos opponent Sophomore LukeBogdonovich is the other starting guard

Underclassmen who will play important minutesinclude sophomores Waylon Froeba Elliot Genteman andJordan Radue and freshman Quinn Brussow Theyrsquoll alsoplay with the junior varsity team but Love will need themfor varsity minutes for depth Senior Josh Zupanc out forthe sport for the first time will get some minutes as well

In Geiger and Cameron Brussow Loyal has a pair ofplayers who can easily post 20-point nights Geiger the2015 WIAA Division 5 state tournament 3-point shootingchampion is even more accurate from behind the arcthan last year Love said

ldquoThe pleasant surprise has been Riley Geigerrsquosperimeter gamerdquo Love said of the early seasondevelopments ldquoHersquos as good as Irsquove seen him Riley hasnrsquotmissed a beat I didnrsquot think hersquod get better but he hasrdquo

Brussow can also bury shots from 3-point range butdefenders had best be careful so he doesnrsquot drive pastthem A tall player with ball-handling skills Brussowcan score from anywhere

ldquoHe doesnrsquot have to play post because he can handlethe ballrdquo Love said ldquoCameron is a kid who can create hisown shot and thatrsquos a unique thing He has pretty highaspirations this yearrdquo

Bogdonovich who was ineligible to play last year aftertransferring to Loyal will bring the Greyhounds a much-needed third scoring option

ldquoWhen our two scoring leaders get things going weexpect defenses to adjust to guard Cameron and RileyrdquoLove said ldquoLuke has a great opportunity to expose thoseadjustments Hersquos got a real high basketball IQ Hersquos calmHe doesnrsquot get rattled His fundamental skills are reallyreally strongrdquo

Love does have some concerns about depth With new

WIAA rule changes for two 18-minutes halves insteadof four 8-minute quarters plus more emphasis on hand-checking players could get in foul trouble

ldquoFouls are my biggest concernrdquo the coach said ldquoIf ourtop three or four get in foul trouble we have guys whocan play but not play the same wayrdquo

That situation should ease some as the seasonprogresses and the younger players gain experience

Also Love said ldquoWersquove had to change the way we playdefense because of the way theyrsquore calling foulsrdquo Loyalwill back away from its aggressive full-court pressureand settle back more to conserve fouls

Even though he has a group of players with good skillsLove said he is still preaching the necessity of taking careof the basketball when the team is on offense

ldquoBall security is priority one two and threerdquo he saidldquoWe have to secure the ball more We have to understandthe value of every possessionrdquo

A pair of intangibles the Greyhounds will use as theytry to match up with the conference favorites are a highbasketball IQ and leadership Love said this group knowsthe game and can benefit from that

ldquoSome of the boys think basketball It makes sense tothemrdquo Love said

Geiger and Cameron Brussow will provide theleadership both in scoring and as floor captains

ldquoOur floor leaders were sophomores last year andtheyrsquore more experienced this yearrdquo Love said ldquoWersquorein good shape Wersquore strides ahead of where we werelast yearrdquo

Love sees Columbus and defending champion Spenceras the teams to beat in the ECC this year Neillsville andLoyal should be also be near the top of the pile when thedust settles with a key for the Greyhounds being ableto keep their leaders injury-free and out of foul trouble

ldquoWersquove got to keep some of our kids on the floorrdquoLove said

Greyhound boys look to make their mark in competitive ECC

so close last season todefeating annual nemesisW i s c o n s i n R a p i d sAssumption in a WIAADivision 5 sectional semi-final game Will this bethe year the Greyhoundsfinally get over theAssumption hump to takea big step toward the statetournament

It rsquo s very early int h e s e a s o n b u t t h eGreyhounds proved theyare to be taken seriouslythis season by pushingAssumption to the wireagain in a Thanksgivingweekend tournament Alast-second shot that justmissed would have liftedLoyal over the Royals inthat one but the game atleast showed area teamsthat Loyal is a legitimatecontender again thiswinter To take the nextstep Loyal has to developits bench said head coachMike Rueth and playthrough a brutal non-conference schedule thatincludes the early season1 and 2 ranked Division5 teams in the state

Loyal finished 22-4overall last year and wonits first Eastern CloverbeltConference championship

The stellar season endedwith a 56-52 sectional lossto Assumption a gamein which the Greyhoundsovercame a double digit deficit in the second half toalmost steal a win That team included now-departedseniors Missy Benz Jaelynn Young and Katie Hoeserthree players who will all be difficult to replace Havingnew reserves step in will be a key to Loyalrsquos 2015-16season Rueth said

Loyalrsquos starting five is as strong as ever Senior pointguard Devyn Schoonover and junior front-line playersMorgan Reinwand and Karsyn Rueth are all back intheir starting roles with a summer of competitive AAUbasketball behind them

ldquoYou can see the time that those kids put inrdquo coachRueth said

Moving into the starting lineup this year are seniorsJaedyn Pieper and Ryleigh Wilke two players who werea part of the main rotation last year They have plenty

of experience the coach said and have already proventhemselves as capable starters in early games this year

ldquoThey passed the test on the first nightrdquo Rueth saidldquoRight now our starting five really gets itrdquo

Repeat ECC title and more are on Loyal girls teamrsquos list of goals

Amanda Zettler Alexis Dietsche (back) Hailey Rueth Bailey Parker Karsyn Rueth Ryleigh Wilke and BryannaRayhorn

Players who Rueth is counting on to step in withvaluable contributions will include senior post playerBailey Parker who played on the varsity last year andknows the system well and freshman Hailey Rueth ayet-unproven player who will be counted on to play alow-post spot and contribute on defense and rebounding

ldquoShe has all the ability in the worldrdquo Rueth said ldquoWersquollwant her to be an offensive and defensive rebounder anda defensive specialist for us What she could do for us isall the little thingsrdquo

Others who will see varsity time include seniorAmanda Zettler junior Alexis Dietsche and sophomoreBryanna Rayhorn Their development and contributionswill be important because games are longer now with therule change to halves intend of quarters and an increasedemphasis on preventing contact on the court

They have to fill a rolerdquo Rueth said of his reservesldquoBecause of the way things are being called with thenew rules you have to have a bench Theyrsquore just callingeverything so tight nowrdquo

Having an experiencedstarting team at the

beginning of the seasonis a definite advantageRueth said because hedidnrsquot have to start withbasics However it willtake some time for thereserve players to catchup and being patient untilthey do will be important

ldquoWhen you start yourfirst practice yoursquore goingat full speed right fromthe beginningrdquo Ruethsaid ldquoThatrsquos where ourreserves are a little bitbehind Our starting five isquality We just donrsquot havethe bench we had last yearbut I think we can Wersquoregoing to get them thererdquo

Rueth believes thisyearrsquos team again has thetalent to win a conferencechampionship and somegoals are in sight beyondthat Loyal has alreadybeaten perennial ECCpower Neillsville andexpects competition fromOwen-Withee and Spencerdown the road

ldquoTherersquos no doubt wecould repeat as conferencechamps but things have togo our wayrdquo the coach saidldquoTheir (players) goals areto set on being conferencechampions againrdquo

The players also want to

win the conference cross-ver title game this yearLast winter they werebeaten by a Fall Creek

team that advanced to the state tournamentTo get his Greyhounds prepared for the inevitable

tough competition in the WIAA post-season playoffsRueth put together a difficult non-conference schedulethat includes the Assumption tournament a non-conference game against a strong Elk Mound team anda January Saturday road trip to take on Barneveld thedefending D5 state champ that is again ranked 1 Ruethis hoping that schedule will help it improve enough toget past the playoff roadblock it has encountered thepast few seasons

ldquoWersquore hoping that our non-conference schedule isgoing to get us over the humprdquo the coach said

To repeat Spencer needs young players to develop quicklyThe 2014-15 Spencer

boys basketball teamthat won the EasternCloverbelt Conferencetitle with a 14-2 leaguerecord was a mature onewith several players whohad been varsity startersfor two or even threeyears The 2015-16 teamthat will try to repeat asconference champs is notas experienced and maytake some time to developbefore itrsquos ready to play itsbest ball

The start of Spencerrsquosseason has been delayedby the football teamrsquos runto the state title gameThe Rockets postponed

their first two scheduledgames and were to openthe season with a Dec8 non-conference gameagainst Edgar Once theschedule begins coachRandy Recknerrsquos squadwill be faced with thetask of getting somenewcomers up to speedto complement a startingline-up that still includessome varsity veterans

Spencer has 2014-15 ECC player of the year Bobby Pilzback for one more season and he again will be reliedupon for his scoring abilities With starters Miles WeberNate Mercier and Mitchell Susa all gone via graduationPilzrsquo points will be even more critical this year asReckner looks for ways to bolster the teamrsquos offensivepunch Itrsquos not helping any that projected starting guard

Noah Zastrow and post player Dakota Andreae are bothlost for significant time with football-related injurieswhich seriously crimps the Rocketsrsquo depth

Joining Pilz on the starting squad will be Ryan Bussea senior who will be starting for the third-straight year

seniors Calvin Lenz and Jonny Tomke and sophomoreAaron Pankratz Lenz though not a starter in the pastplayed a crucial role on last yearrsquos team and is a versatilescorer who can defend Tomke is athletic and ldquocan helpus in a lot of waysrdquo Reckner said

Those players are proven at the varsity level whilePankratz will get his first taste of it this season Hersquoll be

the teamrsquos starting point guard and his skills as a ballhandler will be tested

ldquoWersquore asking a lot of himrdquo Reckner said ldquoHersquos avery smart kidrdquo

Others who will play in the main rotation will include

sophomores Jack Bezlyk and Jacob Miller Both of them

were important parts of a successful junior varsityteam a year ago and will be called upon to step up thenext level

Bezlyk should add some offenseldquoI think hersquos going to surprise a lot of people with

his scoring abilityrdquo Reckner said ldquoHersquos pretty athleticrdquoMiller is a post player with natural rebounding

instinctsldquoHersquos got the knack of finding the ballrdquo the coach

saidFinding new sources of of fense will be a key for the

Rockets as Susa and Mercier both averaged in doublefigures last year

ldquoWersquove got to replace a lot of scoringrdquo Reckner saidand Pilz is the most likely source

ldquoWersquore going to have to depend on him a lotrdquo Recknersaid with Busse and Lenz also being asked to pick uptheir offensive contributions

Adding to the challenge of repeating as conferencechamps is the relative youth of this team Reckner

has been spoiled in recent years with a plentitude ofexperience but thatrsquos not the case this winter

ldquoI had 2- and 3-year starters last year This year wersquorea little more inexperiencedrdquo Reckner said ldquoTherersquos a lotof teaching going on with the younger guysrdquo

Depth could be a problem for Spencer especially earlyin the season while the sophomores are growing intotheir new roles With Zastrow probably not likely to playuntil late in the season and Andreae out for probably amonth Spencer will have to rely on young players tolearn quickly

ldquoOur depth could be an issuerdquo the coach said ldquoWeprobably would be 9-deep with those two Now wersquoreprobably seven or eight just because of our inexperienceOur conference is going to be really good Hopefully they(younger players) can learn on the flyrdquo

Marshfield Columbus is looking like Spencerrsquos mainchallenge to a repeat ECC title with Neillsville andOwen-Withee also looking strong Reckner said ForSpencer to be atop the standings again at seasonrsquos end

a lot has to fall into placeldquoWe need to be consistent we need to gel as a teamrdquo

Reckner said ldquoWe need to grow up fast In any year tobe a conference champ yoursquove got to catch some breaksrdquo

Rockets girls team off to solid start more growth expected

The 2015-16 Spencer girls basketball team (front from left) Kallie Reckner Macie WeberSydney Kind Nadia King (back) Sabrina Vircks Sadie Mercier Katie Fleischman Lexi

Baehr Jessica Becker Courtney Buss and Liz Endreas

Just a few games into the 2015-16 season Spencer headgirls basketball coach Brian Abel has seen significantimprovement over last year in the way his team isperforming The Rockets are getting mentioned by othercoaches in the Eastern Cloverbelt Conference as a teamto watch out for as Spencer blends decent height and agood outside game into an improving program

Abelrsquos teams went 6-17 two years ago and 6-16 lastyear but this yearrsquos group is off to a 2-1 start with ECCwins over Colby and Marshfield Columbus Those areteams that swept the Rockets last season so Abel has agood sense that things are improving in his programThe players are familiar now with Abelrsquos coaching styleand terminolog y he said and can focus more on playingbasketball

This yearrsquos starting squad is an interesting mix ofinside-outside skills Senior Nadia King returns at thepoint while sophomore guard Lexi Baehr is in her secondvarsity year with perimeter shooting prowess JuniorCourtney Buss mans another spot while seniors Macie

Weber and Sydney Kindgive the Rockets a stronginside presence

Kallie Reckner andLiz Endreas may also getsome starts and will be inthe main rotation KatieFleischmann and JessicaBecker will also get someminutes while SabrinaVircks and Sadie Mercierwill split varsityjuniorvarsity time at least in theearly part of the season

Abel has to find ways toreplace the contributionsof Abby Varsho MelissaLehman and KaitlynWalter who all graduatedHe still has plenty ofreturning players to turnto though and that hashelped in the early season

ldquoTherersquos a lot lessteaching this year becausewersquove got a lot comingbackrdquo Abel said ldquoYou cansee it with our fast startrdquo

Spencer will continue

to run a motion offenselooking for the openperimeter shot or dumpingthe ball inside to Weber or Kind if they have a favorablematchup on the post If the shooters are on the systemworks well

ldquoIt keeps that inside-outside game working Itrsquos a goodbalance so farrdquo Abel said

Defensively the Rockets prefer to fall into a half-court2-3 zone but will come out to play man-to-man at timesThe Rockets want to prevent easy fast-break points andtry to get back in defensive positions

ldquoWe donrsquot want teams to run on usrdquo Abel said ldquoWersquore

very good at getting up and down the court I feel thisteam is very versatile in what we can dordquo

Depth-wise Abel says he has enough quality playersto substitute as needed

ldquoWe have decent depth Itrsquos not shallow by any meansrdquohe said ldquoWe can go eight or nine deep and be alrightrdquo

The Rockets still have to work on some fundamentalsto compete with top teams

ldquoWersquove got to box out defensivelyrdquo he said ldquoOn offensetherersquos an emphasis on limiting turnovers We hadproblems last year with passing under pressurerdquo

One thing Abel is looking for is steady improvementThe year is off to a good start but he wants to maintainthe development as the season progresses

ldquoItrsquos definitely been an improvement from the yearbeforerdquo he said of the teamrsquos early season ldquoI think thegirls just have another year under the system Itrsquos thatcontinual growthrdquo

One goal for Abel this season is to sweep conference

teams that Spencer split its two games with last yearand at least split with those who beat Spencer twiceThatrsquos already happened with the wins over Colby andColumbus

Abel sees Loyal Neillsville and Owen-Withee asthe usual conference favorites Spencer may not be tothe level of those programs yet he said but continuedimprovement will narrow the gap If attitude meansanything his team will be competitive

ldquoThey put the time in They donrsquot want to loserdquo Abelsaid of his players

Spencer-Columbus wrestlers looking for big results this yearTwo seasons ago Spencer head wrestling coach Jake

Zschernitz had no one to fill his lightweight positionsLast year he had the lightweights but then not theheavyweights Finally this season with the resumptionof a co-op program with Marshfield ColumbusZschernitz has everybody he needs and the Rockets lookto be strong

With three wrestlers returning this season afterqualifying for the state meet a year ago -- plus the additionof Columbus athletes and a few underclassmen -- theRockets look to be headed for a strong 2015-16 campaignThey wonrsquot have to overcome the forfeit points theyallowed in the last two seasons and that has Zschernitzthinking the Rockets can repeat as Cloverbelt Conferencedual meet champions and also take the conferencetournament

Spencer-Columbus will be solid at several weightsReturning are 2015 state qualifiers sophomore BryceShaw at 126 pounds senior Tim Bauer at 138 andsophomore Hunter Luepke at 195 Seniors HunterHildebrandt (170) Austin Post (132) and Nate Neumann

(160) also return to the varsity lineupColumbus freshmen Jake Dick (106) and Zach Wheeler-Savoy (113) will take over the lightweight spots whilesophomore Dominick Wichlacz will be at 120 SophomoreJeremiah Giles is slotted in at 145 and freshman CarsonHildebrandt will be at 152 Senior Jake Hainzlsperger willman the 182-pound class senior Elijah Welsh and juniorMax Johnson will contend at 220 and freshman LoganZschernitz and senior Ryan Schauer are the heavyweightchallengers

Shaw placed sixth at state last year the highest finishever for a Spencer freshman Bauer worked hard overthe summer to get even better than his state-qualifyingform of a year ago and Luepke is back as a defendingconference champion and state qualifier HunterHildebrandt and Neumann are also 2015 conferencetournament champions

ldquoThat whole group is going to be a big part of oursuccessrdquo Zschernitz said

Newcomers expected to help include Carson

Hildebrandt and Logan Zschernitz who both haveconsiderable youth wrestling experience Welsh couldbe an interesting wrestler to watch and is someonewho the coach describes as ldquoa naturalrdquo but hasnrsquot beenable to compete at the varsity level because Columbusdidnrsquot have a program Austin Post will bring his footballathleticism to the mat as well and Johnson -- who did notgo out for wrestling last year -- was a sectional qualifieras a freshman

The addition of the Columbus wrestlers at last givesZschernitz the athletes he needs at the right weights

ldquoIf we didnrsquot have them the lightweights would behard to fill againrdquo the coach said

The addition of Columbus will push the Rocketprogram into Division 2 for the state tournament seriesbut Zschernitz doesnrsquot see that as an issue In fact movingout of D3 means the Rockets can avoid such usual smallschool powerhouses as Stratford and Edgar

Zschernitz expects his team can repeat as Cloverbeltdual meet champs and should be a top contender at theconference meet Last year the Rockets lost to Stanley-Boyd by only a few points partly because it had to forfeitat two weights

Not this year And not only does Zschernitz have a fullteam but he has a group thatrsquos as confident as can be afterthe Spencer-Columbus football team went all the way tothe state championship game Many of the athletes areon both teams

ldquoTop to bottom this is definitely the best team wersquovehadrdquo Zschernitz said ldquoWersquore fairly solid all the waythrough Wersquore hoping with the success of the footballco-op it carries over to wrestling Wrestling and footballgo hand-in-hand in my opinion I think the run in footballhelped just to show them they can get to that level if theywant to workrdquo

6 ndash Wednesday December 9 2015 WINTER SPORTS PREVIEW

Greenwood head boys basketball coach EricJohnsonrsquos entire starting five from last year put ona graduation robe in May and headed off to newadventures Left behind in the Greenwood program area few experienced varsity players a wealth of talentedunderclassmen and a question mark as to how fast thisyearrsquos team can develop

In Johnsonrsquos first year as head coach his senior-dominated squad posted a 7-9 record in the EasternCloverbelt Conference and a 10-13 overall mark Gonefrom the group are graduates Booker Bredlau and LoganJohnson who both received all-conference mention andfellow starters Dane Toburen Delten Schmitz and DylanNorth To say Johnson has a rebuilding job on his handsthis year may be just a bit of an understatement

he does have a pair of seniors back in Decker Lindnerand Sam Revier who saw considerable varsity time in2014-15 Joining them as starters will be juniors TrevorSerocki and Zach Zimbauer and sophomore DevinToburen Junior Walker Wuethrich will usually be thefirst guy off the bench with senior Aaron Lindner

junior Cole Lucas and sophomore Tyler Genteman alsofiguring into the rotationldquoWersquore inexperienced at the varsity levelrdquo Johnson

said ldquoThe kids are going to have to catch up to the gamespeed Irsquove got basketball talent out there Hopefully byChristmas time the kids will be caught up and we canbe competitive in every gamerdquo

Greenwood started the season with a non-conferenceloss to Abbotsford and ECC losses to Colby andNeillsville That result is to be expected at least for awhile as the players learn what it takes to compete atthe varsity pace

ldquoThey understand the offense and defense andwhat I want out of themrdquo Johnson said ldquoThe kidsall understand the offense really well Itrsquos just gettingthem up to game speed and you canrsquot simulate that inpracticerdquo

Serocki is showing solid skills at point guard andRevier and Decker Lindner should give the Indiansrebounding defense and inside scoring Toburen is a

versatile player who should develop as he gets varsityminutes

ldquoHe can score inside and outsiderdquo the coach saidldquoHe can handle the ball and rebound He gives me alittle of everythingrdquo

Greenwood will not be able to rely on a strongperimeter game as the young shooters are still tryingto find their range It could be a streaky season as aplayer or two gets hot then cools down

ldquoI donrsquot have a pure shooterrdquo Johnson said ldquoI haveguys who can stroke it but they can lose the stroke just as fastrdquo

Ball security is another area of concern The Indianshave averaged more turnovers than Johnson wants inthe teamrsquos first games Fouls have also been an issuebut that is partly due to officialsrsquo new emphasis onhand-checking and a switch to longer halves intend ofquarters

Johnson said he expects a balanced scoring attackat least until someone emerges as a consistent source

of pointsldquoNobody is really going to stand outrdquo he said ldquoI have

not found that guy yet I hope either Devin or Trevorwill develop into that guyrdquo

Johnson sees Marshfield Columbus as the best teamin the ECC this year with defending champion SpencerNeillsville Owen-Withee and Loyal all figuring to be inthe top half

ldquoHopefully we can fall in somewhere behind thatrdquohe said

Greenwood head basketball coach Carey Petrirsquosfirst year at the helm of the program was not the mostpleasant one with most of her starting and contributingplayers suspended for half the season and the juniorvarsity players called up to fill in One positive fromthat experience is that several young players got varsitytime -- albeit before they were ready -- and that shouldtranslate to a more mature team this season

Petrirsquos Indians are off to a 1-3 start this season as theytry to put last yearrsquos season in the rear-view mirror Theteam took a major blow before this season even startedwhen star senior Taylor Opelt injured her knee in anopen gym workout She was last yearrsquos leading scorerand would have been the centerpiece of Petrirsquos offensethis season

Petrirsquos main group of players this year includesseniors Ashley Walker Lexi Hinker and Renee Herdrich junior Kassidy Lamovec and sophomores Kelly Nielsenand Kaylee Learman Seniors Kaylee Meyer NatalieHackel and Kristyn Nigon are also getting considerableminutes early in the season

In addition to losing Opelt Petri also has to replacegraduates Morgan Hinker and Madison Lucas Thatleaves a huge scoring void to fill which Petri willattempt to cover by having the Indians play a slow tempostyle in which they wait patiently for good shots

ldquoWersquore trying to focus on playing our offense andplaying to our tempordquo she said ldquoWersquore trying to slowthings downrdquo

Several of the key players on this yearrsquos team wereforced into varsity action a year ago and that is payingdividends now

ldquoWith those freshmen who played it kind of got thenerves out of the way a little bitrdquo Petri said

With everyone more comfortable in their roles thisyearrsquos team is playing better as a group One of theIndiansrsquo strengths should be cohesion

ldquoI think this year our chemistry our working welltogether is a strengthrdquo Petri said ldquoWersquore coming closeras a teamrdquo

Shooting has been an issue early for the Indians The

team needs improvement from the perimeter the coachsaid as it has little height to set up plays to the post

ldquoThe shooting is getting betterrdquo Petri said ldquoWersquoreworking on itrdquo

The defense is also showing improvement withplayers adjusting to their responsibilities in the man-

Greenwood girls looking for improvement as season progresses

to-man schemeldquoItrsquos definitely better than last yearrdquo Petri said

ldquoWersquore getting to the spots faster We understand the

rotationsrdquoThe players are also aware of the need for better ball

handling One reason for slowing the tempo down is toavoid situations where opponents pressure the Indiansinto turnovers

ldquoOther teams are aggressive and we tend to panicrdquo

Online gift shopping during the holiday season opensup the market to scammers using fake shipping emails tospread malware or gather personal or banking informa-tion The Wisconsin Department of Agriculture Tradeand Consumer Protection (DATCP) warns consumersto be on the lookout for these fake emails and to avoidclicking links or opening attachments in these messages

ldquoWhether you shop online or not expect to start seeingfraudulent package delivery and lsquoorder statusrsquo emails inyour accountrdquo said Frank Frassetto Division Adminis-trator for Trade and Consumer Protection ldquoThis ployoccurs year-round but the holiday shopping season is achance for scammers to increase their spam email outputand sneak them in around legitimate shipment emailsthat consumers might also be receivingrdquo

Look out for emails or texts that warn you about aproblem with a delivery that ask for account informa-tion for security purposes or that ask you to open anattached ldquoshipment labelrdquo in order to claim a packagefrom a local office Scammers often use the names logos

and color schemes of major shipping companies andretailers to add legitimacy to their messages and they

may also spoof the companyrsquos web address (URL) in thesenderrsquos email addressIf you question whether an email link is legitimate

hover the mouse over the link (but donrsquot click it) At thebottom of your browser window you can view the URLwhere the link will actually take you

Look out for the following red flags in your inbox thisholiday season

-- Messages claiming that there is a ldquoproblemrdquo with ashipment or your account These emails will ask you toprovide personal or banking information or to completea form on a linked page in order to fix the supposed prob-lem Do not reply or click any links in the email

-- Poor grammar and spelling errors in emails thatclaim to come from major organizations If the messageis sloppy it likely did not come from a legitimate business

-- Sender addresses that donrsquot match the URL for thecompany that supposedly sent the email For example theldquoFromrdquo line in a fake FedEx email read ldquoFrom FedExExpress Saver (support_myfasthaircom)rdquo

-- Shipment emails that lack specifics about the senderor the packagersquos supposed contents

-- Emails asking you to open an attachment in orderto review an order Never open an attachment in an un-solicited or questionable email

-- Emails containing threats that a package will bereturned to the sender and you will be charged a fee fornot responding to the message

In actua lity there isno product waiting fordelivery and the alarminglanguage in these emails

is intended to make recipients act quickly without con-sidering consequences By clicking on any of the links

in the email a recipient risks downloading malware orhanding over personal information to the scammers Ifyou receive a similar email delete it and do not click anyof the links contained anywhere in the message

If you are expecting a shipment that may be delayedcontact the shipper directly to inquire Some e-commercecompanies offer package tracking features right on theirwebsite If you made an online purchase log into youraccount on the site and see if these options are available

For additional information or to file a complaint visitthe Consumer Protection Bureau at datcpwisconsingovcall the Consumer Information Hotline at 800-422-7128 orsend an e-mail to datcphotlinewisconsingov

More than 600000 deer hunters em-braced the excitement of another nine-day gun deer season in Wisconsin andpreliminary numbers show an increasein both deer registration numbers andlicense sales through the end of the nine-day season

This yearrsquos preliminary nine-day gundeer hunt registration figures indicate atotal of 204725 deer harvested during thenine-day season compared to 199583 in2014 Since this is the first year using theGameReg system department staff areverifying this preliminary data to makesure it is correct It is possible that this

number may change slightly followingadditional evaluation

ldquoIrsquom pleased to see an increase in deerharvest numbers from last yearrdquo said BobNack DNR big game section chief ldquoHunt-ers experienced varying levels of successthroughout the state and had an enjoyabletime with family and friendsrdquo

In 2015 preliminary nine-day harvestnumbers were collected through the Ga-meReg system Hunters were required toregister their deer by 5 pm the day afterharvest as opposed to 5 pm the day afterthe nine-day season closed in years past

DNR customer service staff received

positive feedback from hunters through-out the nine-day season as they learned touse the new system Hunters who forgot toregister their deer are required to do soeven if beyond the 5 pm daily deadline

This year 612377 gun deer licenseswere sold through the end of the nine-day gun deer season compared to 608711in 2014 In total 849778 gun archeryand crossbow licenses (not including up-grades) licenses have been sold throughthe end of the nine-day gun deer seasoncompared to 835583 (not including up-grades) in 2014

Through the end of the nine-day sea-

son 23870 first-time hunters (or thosewho have not hunted in the last 10 years)have taken advantage of the first-time gundeer buyer license compared to 17644 ar-chery hunters Deer license and tag saleswill continue throughout the remaininghunting seasons

DNR investigated eight hunting inci-dents during the nine-day gun deer seasonfive non-fatal (Rock Marathon JacksonPolk and Manitowoc) and three fatal (Co-lumbia Waushara and Marathon)

Eight hunting incidents resulted in 131

Harvest data shows hunters took 204000 deer in 9-day season

Deer Camp The best place on EarthHello friendsThis is a summary of the first five days of deer camp for The Red

Brush Gang We call a 36x18 foot pole barn home each Novemberwhich we put up on public land in The Meadow Valley Wildlife Area

By the last day of the season over 25 people will have slept in it

and let me tell ya folks we hunt hard and at night we have a lot of funSaturday Nov 21 -- high 35 low 22The majority of the gang came to camp on Thursday night and

with about a dozen of our members being in the 20-something agerange the evening is just a blast for us conservative ldquoold timersrdquo towatch

There were several wrestling matches and yours truly wouldobtain rib and head injuries with the rib injuries lasting the entirenine-day season The head wound was so ugly that I refused to lookat it the first six days I was in camp

Last night I cooked my meal for the season which was scallopedpotatoes and ham a hot dish made of rice and wild game and squashIn reality you have to have about 50 pounds of food to feed this gangOnce the meal is served you get to belly up to the table the rest of theseason and have someone else prepare your meals

On opening morning there was 18 of us spread out over about15-square miles

Twenty-seven year-old Ryan Moll thought he saw deer as nightwas becoming day and that was confirmed when it became lightenough Ryan had what he described was an ldquoincredibly easy shotrdquo

at a 9-point buck with an 18-inch spread Ryanrsquos trophy had a verybusted up rack and would eventually win the The Red Brush Gangrsquosbig buck contest

About three miles north Doug Cibulka and his 16-year-old sonDerek were hunting an area near the Sprague Mather Flowage Justlike last year Doug and Derek had an experience with a pack of wolvesand later in the day they relocated Doug Cibulka saw a six-pointergoing through the brush and made some venison

Back in the area of our camp Dick Schuster (who is in his mid60s) climbs way up a pine tree and sits all day missed an easy shot

on a six-pointer tried a desperation shot and put a bullet in itrsquos neckThese three guys would be ldquobuck brothersrdquo for the night As far

as the rest of the gang goes over half of us did not see a deerSelina and I hunted where we bow hunted and I believe that the

water levels rising over 10 inches in what was dry marshrsquos and thenfreezing into halfice pushed the deer out of our area In two daysof dark to dark hunting Selina and I would see one deer

Tonight as I have done for 44 consecutive years headed over toNecedah with the gang and ate a turkey dinner at St Francis of As-sisi Catholic Church

On Monday after a very lively Sunday night at camp we began adifferent method of hunting deer which is big drives that literallycover a square mile

Everyone wears hip boots and carries a compass All of us find

out what kind of physical condition we are or are not in and todaywe had pretty steady action and not such good success

None of the adults has a doe tag There are three kids that doThree bucks were kicked up and it sounds like one of them wouldhave won the big buck contest

That buck was shot at by two hunters on a dead run and they bothmissed The half ice that I was talking about is incredibly difficult totravel through The marsh grass grabs your legs above the ice andyou have to break ice to make the next step forward

On Monday night it was down to Ross Moll his dad Jeff Moll (40consecutive years) Doug Cibulka Selina and myself

We ate a great meal Jeff would not let Doug and I go to bed andthe next day we hunted hard and that night we had visitors that keptus up late once again

Every Red Brush Hunter is addicted to this place Sunset

If I was the president Id attack em right now MaybePresident Obama promised last week in a rare

address to the nation that he plans to destroyISIL Whether that means destroying the radicalIslamist group as in wiping them off the ace othe earth in a mighty military massacre or justblocking their Net1047298ix signal so they cant watchBreaking Bad episodes during recess romglobal jihad we cant be sure I mean and I hateto say it the President could not have been muchless impressive in his speech i he had only vowedto not let ull-1047298edged ISIL militants accumulaterequent-1047298yer points while on suicide missionsYeah that woulda taught em a lesson

o be completely truthul -- or truthullycomplete I suppose -- I will tell you that I didnot watch the President deliver his speech onSunday night because 1 Tere was ootball oninstead 2) I orgot about it and 3) I knew hisstatements would be as bland as chicken soup

without the chicken celery carrots bullioncubes salt pepper noodles and paprika 1047298akesTats right about as spicy as water Yeah youdarn right I went there

In his speech the text o which I did readObama said we will hunt down terrorists in anycountry where it is necessary to which VladimirPutin said Oh really o show he has supportor his policies Obama said US allies such asFrance and Britain have ramped up their contri -butions to our military campaign which makesit sound like they are now collecting gently usedwinter coats or our advisors to wear in theSyrian desert Obama also said we are workingwith riends to disrupt ISIL which is aboutthe same verbiage I remember using in juniorhigh when me and some other hooligans tied1047297shing line to the history teachers chair leg and

his bookcase so the case ell on the 1047298oor whenhe went to sit down Yeah we disrupted himall right and had all sorts o time to talk about it

over the next 10 noon hours in the principals offi ce

alk about your post-battle brie1047297ngsIn a speech that lasted about as long as an

average waterboarding session -- but made youeel more like you were being tortured -- Obamareerred directly by name to ISIL 14 times which isbetter ree advertising than having Jennier Lopezwear your companys V-neck -shirt at the SuperBowl halfime show And about that -- why doesObama insist on calling the group ISIL when ev-eryone else on the planet calls it ISIS Is it a speechimpediment thing Is he trying to convince us thathe knows more than we do just because he uses adifferent name Or -- and this is a scary thought-- maybe hes planning to destroy the IndianaShelter or Illiterate Lawyers and weve all just beenmisunderstanding I mean yeah lawyers shouldknow how to read I get it but utter destructionseems a bit harsh

I also thought it was interesting -- no make thatprooundly disturbing -- that the President startedone o his sentences with My ellow Americans asi invoking a Richard Nixon image would somehowreassure the nation that everything possible is beingdone to combat a threatening and dangerous en-emy Because as we all remember -- at least those ous who were born beore the country realized thatBob Dylan really cant sing -- Nixon implementeda strategy known as Vietnamization in whichAmerican advisors were supposed to teach SouthVietnamese people who knew less about moderncombat techniques than Hagar the Horrible howto deeat a determined North Vietnamese orcewith sticks and some paper lea1047298ets dropped outo a helicopter In an inamous policy that datesback arther than the start o that last sentence itailed more miserably than Mason Crosbys game-

winning 1047297eld goal try against Detroit last monthWow Military history and proessional ootball

in one vaguely effective metaphor And they said

it couldnt be doneWhat cant be done at least in my opinion and

that o all the hawkish members o the right-wingCongressional caucus is deeat ISIS with the cur-rent strategy o drone strikes random bombingSpecial Forces operations (whatever the heck that

entails) and hoping that the terrorists run out osuicide bombers beore the Middle East runs outo mosques public markets schools and hotelsthat can be blown up Instead o direct aggressiveand massive-i-necessary military interventionwere relying on such tactics as passive economicsanctions against Yemeni government offi cials whomay be selling cotton to ISIS to make comortableand loose-1047297tting underwear or militant 1047297ghtersor requiring that SA offi cials at airports aroundthe country now politely ask Arab women i theresany possible chance that they might now be orhave ever considered carrying out global jihadwhile posing as a Pakistani woman studying to bea home ec teacher

I will say or the record that I have generallysupported President Obama in his seven years inthe White House his Chicago Bears support asideHowever on this issue I believe he has shownless leadership than a vegan at a pork producersconvention When this country most needs a com-

mander-in-chie whos willing to use the

$560 billion annual US deense budgetor what its there or were getting a guywho seems to be thinking Geez just 11more months to go and Ill be out o hereso the history books can blame the waron ISIL on somebody else

Its not that Im pro-war not by anymeans but sometimes a menace comesalong that is so rightening and capableo causing global terror and sufferingthat world leaders must act I mean Iremember the time in my childhoodsandbox when me and my green plastic

army soldiers were enjoying seemingly endlesspeaceul times when a blue army suddenlyappeared (a whole bag o them as a Christmaspresent ironically) and I suddenly had to makethe call o whether to stop the invasion either by

ull-on combat or to battle the insidious threat lessaggressively by lobbying Congress to pass legisla-tion that would raise the sales tax on bags o bluearmy guys thereby limiting their numbers overyou know say the next 10 years or so

Well you can bet which action I chose andits probably likely that some blue army guybody parts are still buried where my sandboxbattle1047297eld once stood under the box elder treesin our yard Let our President heed that historicallesson that some enemies o peace and reedomcannot be beaten by words and sanctions andmind-numbingly ineffective policies based onaLets cross our 1047297ngers and hope they go awaymission statement

I mean just think had I not conronted theblue army guy menace 40 years ago I might nowbe a screwed-up graying nobody pretending hes

an expert on oreign policyOh shaddup

Loyal head boys basketball coach Rob Love has been

making it a point in practices to have his players look upat the individual school sports banners on the wall andto have them notice that ldquo1968rdquo is the last number on theboys basketball programrsquos conference championship list

ldquoI keep pointing it out and saying lsquoThat number canrsquotsurviversquordquo Love said ldquoWersquove got to put another numberup thererdquo

The Greyhounds are off to a 1-1 start in their questto become the first conference champs in the sport in48 years They beat Granton on Dec 4 after losing topreseason favorite Marshfield Columbus and Love saidthis yearrsquos team is ldquostrides aheadrdquo of the 2014-15 versionthat ended up with an 8-8 mark and fifth-place finish in theEastern Cloverbelt Love has some starting experienceback in his lineup and several talented underclassmenwho will see significant playing time and the team shouldimprove as the youngsters learn the speed of the varsitygame

Love has to replace graduates Ryley Fischer LoganGenteman and Tyler Prust who all were significant

contributors a year ago Back in his starting lineup are junior guard Riley Geiger and 6rsquo4rdquo swingman CameronBrussow who give the Greyhounds a potent 1-2 scoringpunch both from the perimeter and the lane SeniorDerrick Howard also returns to the front line to battlefor rebounds and points and seniors Ben Zimmermanand Marcus Genteman will share one starting spotdepending on a given nightrsquos opponent Sophomore LukeBogdonovich is the other starting guard

Underclassmen who will play important minutesinclude sophomores Waylon Froeba Elliot Genteman andJordan Radue and freshman Quinn Brussow Theyrsquoll alsoplay with the junior varsity team but Love will need themfor varsity minutes for depth Senior Josh Zupanc out forthe sport for the first time will get some minutes as well

In Geiger and Cameron Brussow Loyal has a pair ofplayers who can easily post 20-point nights Geiger the2015 WIAA Division 5 state tournament 3-point shootingchampion is even more accurate from behind the arcthan last year Love said

ldquoThe pleasant surprise has been Riley Geigerrsquosperimeter gamerdquo Love said of the early seasondevelopments ldquoHersquos as good as Irsquove seen him Riley hasnrsquotmissed a beat I didnrsquot think hersquod get better but he hasrdquo

Brussow can also bury shots from 3-point range butdefenders had best be careful so he doesnrsquot drive pastthem A tall player with ball-handling skills Brussowcan score from anywhere

ldquoHe doesnrsquot have to play post because he can handlethe ballrdquo Love said ldquoCameron is a kid who can create hisown shot and thatrsquos a unique thing He has pretty highaspirations this yearrdquo

Bogdonovich who was ineligible to play last year aftertransferring to Loyal will bring the Greyhounds a much-needed third scoring option

ldquoWhen our two scoring leaders get things going weexpect defenses to adjust to guard Cameron and RileyrdquoLove said ldquoLuke has a great opportunity to expose thoseadjustments Hersquos got a real high basketball IQ Hersquos calmHe doesnrsquot get rattled His fundamental skills are reallyreally strongrdquo

Love does have some concerns about depth With new

WIAA rule changes for two 18-minutes halves insteadof four 8-minute quarters plus more emphasis on hand-checking players could get in foul trouble

ldquoFouls are my biggest concernrdquo the coach said ldquoIf ourtop three or four get in foul trouble we have guys whocan play but not play the same wayrdquo

That situation should ease some as the seasonprogresses and the younger players gain experience

Also Love said ldquoWersquove had to change the way we playdefense because of the way theyrsquore calling foulsrdquo Loyalwill back away from its aggressive full-court pressureand settle back more to conserve fouls

Even though he has a group of players with good skillsLove said he is still preaching the necessity of taking careof the basketball when the team is on offense

ldquoBall security is priority one two and threerdquo he saidldquoWe have to secure the ball more We have to understandthe value of every possessionrdquo

A pair of intangibles the Greyhounds will use as theytry to match up with the conference favorites are a highbasketball IQ and leadership Love said this group knowsthe game and can benefit from that

ldquoSome of the boys think basketball It makes sense tothemrdquo Love said

Geiger and Cameron Brussow will provide theleadership both in scoring and as floor captains

ldquoOur floor leaders were sophomores last year andtheyrsquore more experienced this yearrdquo Love said ldquoWersquorein good shape Wersquore strides ahead of where we werelast yearrdquo

Love sees Columbus and defending champion Spenceras the teams to beat in the ECC this year Neillsville andLoyal should be also be near the top of the pile when thedust settles with a key for the Greyhounds being ableto keep their leaders injury-free and out of foul trouble

ldquoWersquove got to keep some of our kids on the floorrdquoLove said

Greyhound boys look to make their mark in competitive ECC

It rsquo s very early int h e s e a s o n b u t t h eGreyhounds proved theyare to be taken seriouslythis season by pushingAssumption to the wireagain in a Thanksgivingweekend tournament Alast-second shot that justmissed would have liftedLoyal over the Royals inthat one but the game atleast showed area teamsthat Loyal is a legitimatecontender again thiswinter To take the nextstep Loyal has to developits bench said head coachMike Rueth and playthrough a brutal non-conference schedule thatincludes the early season1 and 2 ranked Division5 teams in the state

Loyal finished 22-4overall last year and wonits first Eastern CloverbeltConference championship

The stellar season endedwith a 56-52 sectional lossto Assumption a gamein which the Greyhoundsovercame a double digit deficit in the second half toalmost steal a win That team included now-departedseniors Missy Benz Jaelynn Young and Katie Hoeserthree players who will all be difficult to replace Havingnew reserves step in will be a key to Loyalrsquos 2015-16season Rueth said

Loyalrsquos starting five is as strong as ever Senior pointguard Devyn Schoonover and junior front-line playersMorgan Reinwand and Karsyn Rueth are all back intheir starting roles with a summer of competitive AAUbasketball behind them

ldquoYou can see the time that those kids put inrdquo coachRueth said

Moving into the starting lineup this year are seniorsJaedyn Pieper and Ryleigh Wilke two players who werea part of the main rotation last year They have plenty

of experience the coach said and have already proventhemselves as capable starters in early games this year

ldquoThey passed the test on the first nightrdquo Rueth saidldquoRight now our starting five really gets itrdquo

Repeat ECC title and more are on Loyal girls teamrsquos list of goals

Amanda Zettler Alexis Dietsche (back) Hailey Rueth Bailey Parker Karsyn Rueth Ryleigh Wilke and BryannaRayhorn

Players who Rueth is counting on to step in withvaluable contributions will include senior post playerBailey Parker who played on the varsity last year andknows the system well and freshman Hailey Rueth ayet-unproven player who will be counted on to play alow-post spot and contribute on defense and rebounding

ldquoShe has all the ability in the worldrdquo Rueth said ldquoWersquollwant her to be an offensive and defensive rebounder anda defensive specialist for us What she could do for us isall the little thingsrdquo

Others who will see varsity time include seniorAmanda Zettler junior Alexis Dietsche and sophomoreBryanna Rayhorn Their development and contributionswill be important because games are longer now with therule change to halves intend of quarters and an increasedemphasis on preventing contact on the court

They have to fill a rolerdquo Rueth said of his reservesldquoBecause of the way things are being called with thenew rules you have to have a bench Theyrsquore just callingeverything so tight nowrdquo

Having an experiencedstarting team at the

beginning of the seasonis a definite advantageRueth said because hedidnrsquot have to start withbasics However it willtake some time for thereserve players to catchup and being patient untilthey do will be important

ldquoWhen you start yourfirst practice yoursquore goingat full speed right fromthe beginningrdquo Ruethsaid ldquoThatrsquos where ourreserves are a little bitbehind Our starting five isquality We just donrsquot havethe bench we had last yearbut I think we can Wersquoregoing to get them thererdquo

Rueth believes thisyearrsquos team again has thetalent to win a conferencechampionship and somegoals are in sight beyondthat Loyal has alreadybeaten perennial ECCpower Neillsville andexpects competition fromOwen-Withee and Spencerdown the road

ldquoTherersquos no doubt wecould repeat as conferencechamps but things have togo our wayrdquo the coach saidldquoTheir (players) goals areto set on being conferencechampions againrdquo

The players also want to

win the conference cross-ver title game this yearLast winter they werebeaten by a Fall Creek

team that advanced to the state tournamentTo get his Greyhounds prepared for the inevitable

tough competition in the WIAA post-season playoffsRueth put together a difficult non-conference schedulethat includes the Assumption tournament a non-conference game against a strong Elk Mound team anda January Saturday road trip to take on Barneveld thedefending D5 state champ that is again ranked 1 Ruethis hoping that schedule will help it improve enough toget past the playoff roadblock it has encountered thepast few seasons

ldquoWersquore hoping that our non-conference schedule isgoing to get us over the humprdquo the coach said

To repeat Spencer needs young players to develop quicklyThe 2014-15 Spencer

boys basketball teamthat won the EasternCloverbelt Conferencetitle with a 14-2 leaguerecord was a mature onewith several players whohad been varsity startersfor two or even threeyears The 2015-16 teamthat will try to repeat asconference champs is notas experienced and maytake some time to developbefore itrsquos ready to play itsbest ball

The start of Spencerrsquosseason has been delayedby the football teamrsquos runto the state title gameThe Rockets postponed

their first two scheduledgames and were to openthe season with a Dec8 non-conference gameagainst Edgar Once theschedule begins coachRandy Recknerrsquos squadwill be faced with thetask of getting somenewcomers up to speedto complement a startingline-up that still includessome varsity veterans

Spencer has 2014-15 ECC player of the year Bobby Pilzback for one more season and he again will be reliedupon for his scoring abilities With starters Miles WeberNate Mercier and Mitchell Susa all gone via graduationPilzrsquo points will be even more critical this year asReckner looks for ways to bolster the teamrsquos offensivepunch Itrsquos not helping any that projected starting guard

Noah Zastrow and post player Dakota Andreae are bothlost for significant time with football-related injurieswhich seriously crimps the Rocketsrsquo depth

Joining Pilz on the starting squad will be Ryan Bussea senior who will be starting for the third-straight year

seniors Calvin Lenz and Jonny Tomke and sophomoreAaron Pankratz Lenz though not a starter in the pastplayed a crucial role on last yearrsquos team and is a versatilescorer who can defend Tomke is athletic and ldquocan helpus in a lot of waysrdquo Reckner said

Those players are proven at the varsity level whilePankratz will get his first taste of it this season Hersquoll be

the teamrsquos starting point guard and his skills as a ballhandler will be tested

ldquoWersquore asking a lot of himrdquo Reckner said ldquoHersquos avery smart kidrdquo

Others who will play in the main rotation will include

sophomores Jack Bezlyk and Jacob Miller Both of them

were important parts of a successful junior varsityteam a year ago and will be called upon to step up thenext level

Bezlyk should add some offenseldquoI think hersquos going to surprise a lot of people with

his scoring abilityrdquo Reckner said ldquoHersquos pretty athleticrdquoMiller is a post player with natural rebounding

instinctsldquoHersquos got the knack of finding the ballrdquo the coach

saidFinding new sources of of fense will be a key for the

Rockets as Susa and Mercier both averaged in doublefigures last year

ldquoWersquove got to replace a lot of scoringrdquo Reckner saidand Pilz is the most likely source

ldquoWersquore going to have to depend on him a lotrdquo Recknersaid with Busse and Lenz also being asked to pick uptheir offensive contributions

Adding to the challenge of repeating as conferencechamps is the relative youth of this team Reckner

has been spoiled in recent years with a plentitude ofexperience but thatrsquos not the case this winter

ldquoI had 2- and 3-year starters last year This year wersquorea little more inexperiencedrdquo Reckner said ldquoTherersquos a lotof teaching going on with the younger guysrdquo

Depth could be a problem for Spencer especially earlyin the season while the sophomores are growing intotheir new roles With Zastrow probably not likely to playuntil late in the season and Andreae out for probably amonth Spencer will have to rely on young players tolearn quickly

ldquoOur depth could be an issuerdquo the coach said ldquoWeprobably would be 9-deep with those two Now wersquoreprobably seven or eight just because of our inexperienceOur conference is going to be really good Hopefully they(younger players) can learn on the flyrdquo

Marshfield Columbus is looking like Spencerrsquos mainchallenge to a repeat ECC title with Neillsville andOwen-Withee also looking strong Reckner said ForSpencer to be atop the standings again at seasonrsquos end

a lot has to fall into placeldquoWe need to be consistent we need to gel as a teamrdquo

Reckner said ldquoWe need to grow up fast In any year tobe a conference champ yoursquove got to catch some breaksrdquo

Rockets girls team off to solid start more growth expected

The 2015-16 Spencer girls basketball team (front from left) Kallie Reckner Macie WeberSydney Kind Nadia King (back) Sabrina Vircks Sadie Mercier Katie Fleischman Lexi

Baehr Jessica Becker Courtney Buss and Liz Endreas

Just a few games into the 2015-16 season Spencer headgirls basketball coach Brian Abel has seen significantimprovement over last year in the way his team isperforming The Rockets are getting mentioned by othercoaches in the Eastern Cloverbelt Conference as a teamto watch out for as Spencer blends decent height and agood outside game into an improving program

Abelrsquos teams went 6-17 two years ago and 6-16 lastyear but this yearrsquos group is off to a 2-1 start with ECCwins over Colby and Marshfield Columbus Those areteams that swept the Rockets last season so Abel has agood sense that things are improving in his programThe players are familiar now with Abelrsquos coaching styleand terminolog y he said and can focus more on playingbasketball

This yearrsquos starting squad is an interesting mix ofinside-outside skills Senior Nadia King returns at thepoint while sophomore guard Lexi Baehr is in her secondvarsity year with perimeter shooting prowess JuniorCourtney Buss mans another spot while seniors Macie

Weber and Sydney Kindgive the Rockets a stronginside presence

Kallie Reckner andLiz Endreas may also getsome starts and will be inthe main rotation KatieFleischmann and JessicaBecker will also get someminutes while SabrinaVircks and Sadie Mercierwill split varsityjuniorvarsity time at least in theearly part of the season

Abel has to find ways toreplace the contributionsof Abby Varsho MelissaLehman and KaitlynWalter who all graduatedHe still has plenty ofreturning players to turnto though and that hashelped in the early season

ldquoTherersquos a lot lessteaching this year becausewersquove got a lot comingbackrdquo Abel said ldquoYou cansee it with our fast startrdquo

Spencer will continue

to run a motion offenselooking for the openperimeter shot or dumpingthe ball inside to Weber or Kind if they have a favorablematchup on the post If the shooters are on the systemworks well

ldquoIt keeps that inside-outside game working Itrsquos a goodbalance so farrdquo Abel said

Defensively the Rockets prefer to fall into a half-court2-3 zone but will come out to play man-to-man at timesThe Rockets want to prevent easy fast-break points andtry to get back in defensive positions

ldquoWe donrsquot want teams to run on usrdquo Abel said ldquoWersquore

very good at getting up and down the court I feel thisteam is very versatile in what we can dordquo

Depth-wise Abel says he has enough quality playersto substitute as needed

ldquoWe have decent depth Itrsquos not shallow by any meansrdquohe said ldquoWe can go eight or nine deep and be alrightrdquo

The Rockets still have to work on some fundamentalsto compete with top teams

ldquoWersquove got to box out defensivelyrdquo he said ldquoOn offensetherersquos an emphasis on limiting turnovers We hadproblems last year with passing under pressurerdquo

One thing Abel is looking for is steady improvementThe year is off to a good start but he wants to maintainthe development as the season progresses

ldquoItrsquos definitely been an improvement from the yearbeforerdquo he said of the teamrsquos early season ldquoI think thegirls just have another year under the system Itrsquos thatcontinual growthrdquo

One goal for Abel this season is to sweep conference

teams that Spencer split its two games with last yearand at least split with those who beat Spencer twiceThatrsquos already happened with the wins over Colby andColumbus

Abel sees Loyal Neillsville and Owen-Withee asthe usual conference favorites Spencer may not be tothe level of those programs yet he said but continuedimprovement will narrow the gap If attitude meansanything his team will be competitive

ldquoThey put the time in They donrsquot want to loserdquo Abelsaid of his players

Spencer-Columbus wrestlers looking for big results this yearTwo seasons ago Spencer head wrestling coach Jake

Zschernitz had no one to fill his lightweight positionsLast year he had the lightweights but then not theheavyweights Finally this season with the resumptionof a co-op program with Marshfield ColumbusZschernitz has everybody he needs and the Rockets lookto be strong

With three wrestlers returning this season afterqualifying for the state meet a year ago -- plus the additionof Columbus athletes and a few underclassmen -- theRockets look to be headed for a strong 2015-16 campaignThey wonrsquot have to overcome the forfeit points theyallowed in the last two seasons and that has Zschernitzthinking the Rockets can repeat as Cloverbelt Conferencedual meet champions and also take the conferencetournament

Spencer-Columbus will be solid at several weightsReturning are 2015 state qualifiers sophomore BryceShaw at 126 pounds senior Tim Bauer at 138 andsophomore Hunter Luepke at 195 Seniors HunterHildebrandt (170) Austin Post (132) and Nate Neumann

(160) also return to the varsity lineupColumbus freshmen Jake Dick (106) and Zach Wheeler-Savoy (113) will take over the lightweight spots whilesophomore Dominick Wichlacz will be at 120 SophomoreJeremiah Giles is slotted in at 145 and freshman CarsonHildebrandt will be at 152 Senior Jake Hainzlsperger willman the 182-pound class senior Elijah Welsh and juniorMax Johnson will contend at 220 and freshman LoganZschernitz and senior Ryan Schauer are the heavyweightchallengers

Shaw placed sixth at state last year the highest finishever for a Spencer freshman Bauer worked hard overthe summer to get even better than his state-qualifyingform of a year ago and Luepke is back as a defendingconference champion and state qualifier HunterHildebrandt and Neumann are also 2015 conferencetournament champions

ldquoThat whole group is going to be a big part of oursuccessrdquo Zschernitz said

Newcomers expected to help include Carson

Hildebrandt and Logan Zschernitz who both haveconsiderable youth wrestling experience Welsh couldbe an interesting wrestler to watch and is someonewho the coach describes as ldquoa naturalrdquo but hasnrsquot beenable to compete at the varsity level because Columbusdidnrsquot have a program Austin Post will bring his footballathleticism to the mat as well and Johnson -- who did notgo out for wrestling last year -- was a sectional qualifieras a freshman

The addition of the Columbus wrestlers at last givesZschernitz the athletes he needs at the right weights

ldquoIf we didnrsquot have them the lightweights would behard to fill againrdquo the coach said

The addition of Columbus will push the Rocketprogram into Division 2 for the state tournament seriesbut Zschernitz doesnrsquot see that as an issue In fact movingout of D3 means the Rockets can avoid such usual smallschool powerhouses as Stratford and Edgar

Zschernitz expects his team can repeat as Cloverbeltdual meet champs and should be a top contender at theconference meet Last year the Rockets lost to Stanley-Boyd by only a few points partly because it had to forfeitat two weights

Not this year And not only does Zschernitz have a fullteam but he has a group thatrsquos as confident as can be afterthe Spencer-Columbus football team went all the way tothe state championship game Many of the athletes areon both teams

ldquoTop to bottom this is definitely the best team wersquovehadrdquo Zschernitz said ldquoWersquore fairly solid all the waythrough Wersquore hoping with the success of the footballco-op it carries over to wrestling Wrestling and footballgo hand-in-hand in my opinion I think the run in footballhelped just to show them they can get to that level if theywant to workrdquo

6 ndash Wednesday December 9 2015 WINTER SPORTS PREVIEW

Greenwood head boys basketball coach EricJohnsonrsquos entire starting five from last year put ona graduation robe in May and headed off to newadventures Left behind in the Greenwood program area few experienced varsity players a wealth of talentedunderclassmen and a question mark as to how fast thisyearrsquos team can develop

In Johnsonrsquos first year as head coach his senior-dominated squad posted a 7-9 record in the EasternCloverbelt Conference and a 10-13 overall mark Gonefrom the group are graduates Booker Bredlau and LoganJohnson who both received all-conference mention andfellow starters Dane Toburen Delten Schmitz and DylanNorth To say Johnson has a rebuilding job on his handsthis year may be just a bit of an understatement

he does have a pair of seniors back in Decker Lindnerand Sam Revier who saw considerable varsity time in2014-15 Joining them as starters will be juniors TrevorSerocki and Zach Zimbauer and sophomore DevinToburen Junior Walker Wuethrich will usually be thefirst guy off the bench with senior Aaron Lindner

junior Cole Lucas and sophomore Tyler Genteman alsofiguring into the rotationldquoWersquore inexperienced at the varsity levelrdquo Johnson

said ldquoThe kids are going to have to catch up to the gamespeed Irsquove got basketball talent out there Hopefully byChristmas time the kids will be caught up and we canbe competitive in every gamerdquo

Greenwood started the season with a non-conferenceloss to Abbotsford and ECC losses to Colby andNeillsville That result is to be expected at least for awhile as the players learn what it takes to compete atthe varsity pace

ldquoThey understand the offense and defense andwhat I want out of themrdquo Johnson said ldquoThe kidsall understand the offense really well Itrsquos just gettingthem up to game speed and you canrsquot simulate that inpracticerdquo

Serocki is showing solid skills at point guard andRevier and Decker Lindner should give the Indiansrebounding defense and inside scoring Toburen is a

versatile player who should develop as he gets varsityminutes

ldquoHe can score inside and outsiderdquo the coach saidldquoHe can handle the ball and rebound He gives me alittle of everythingrdquo

Greenwood will not be able to rely on a strongperimeter game as the young shooters are still tryingto find their range It could be a streaky season as aplayer or two gets hot then cools down

ldquoI donrsquot have a pure shooterrdquo Johnson said ldquoI haveguys who can stroke it but they can lose the stroke just as fastrdquo

Ball security is another area of concern The Indianshave averaged more turnovers than Johnson wants inthe teamrsquos first games Fouls have also been an issuebut that is partly due to officialsrsquo new emphasis onhand-checking and a switch to longer halves intend ofquarters

Johnson said he expects a balanced scoring attackat least until someone emerges as a consistent source

of pointsldquoNobody is really going to stand outrdquo he said ldquoI have

not found that guy yet I hope either Devin or Trevorwill develop into that guyrdquo

Johnson sees Marshfield Columbus as the best teamin the ECC this year with defending champion SpencerNeillsville Owen-Withee and Loyal all figuring to be inthe top half

ldquoHopefully we can fall in somewhere behind thatrdquohe said

Greenwood head basketball coach Carey Petrirsquosfirst year at the helm of the program was not the mostpleasant one with most of her starting and contributingplayers suspended for half the season and the juniorvarsity players called up to fill in One positive fromthat experience is that several young players got varsitytime -- albeit before they were ready -- and that shouldtranslate to a more mature team this season

Petrirsquos Indians are off to a 1-3 start this season as theytry to put last yearrsquos season in the rear-view mirror Theteam took a major blow before this season even startedwhen star senior Taylor Opelt injured her knee in anopen gym workout She was last yearrsquos leading scorerand would have been the centerpiece of Petrirsquos offensethis season

Petrirsquos main group of players this year includesseniors Ashley Walker Lexi Hinker and Renee Herdrich junior Kassidy Lamovec and sophomores Kelly Nielsenand Kaylee Learman Seniors Kaylee Meyer NatalieHackel and Kristyn Nigon are also getting considerableminutes early in the season

In addition to losing Opelt Petri also has to replacegraduates Morgan Hinker and Madison Lucas Thatleaves a huge scoring void to fill which Petri willattempt to cover by having the Indians play a slow tempostyle in which they wait patiently for good shots

ldquoWersquore trying to focus on playing our offense andplaying to our tempordquo she said ldquoWersquore trying to slowthings downrdquo

Several of the key players on this yearrsquos team wereforced into varsity action a year ago and that is payingdividends now

ldquoWith those freshmen who played it kind of got thenerves out of the way a little bitrdquo Petri said

With everyone more comfortable in their roles thisyearrsquos team is playing better as a group One of theIndiansrsquo strengths should be cohesion

ldquoI think this year our chemistry our working welltogether is a strengthrdquo Petri said ldquoWersquore coming closeras a teamrdquo

Shooting has been an issue early for the Indians The

team needs improvement from the perimeter the coachsaid as it has little height to set up plays to the post

ldquoThe shooting is getting betterrdquo Petri said ldquoWersquoreworking on itrdquo

The defense is also showing improvement withplayers adjusting to their responsibilities in the man-

Greenwood girls looking for improvement as season progresses

to-man schemeldquoItrsquos definitely better than last yearrdquo Petri said

ldquoWersquore getting to the spots faster We understand the

rotationsrdquoThe players are also aware of the need for better ball

handling One reason for slowing the tempo down is toavoid situations where opponents pressure the Indiansinto turnovers

ldquoOther teams are aggressive and we tend to panicrdquo

Petri saidThe goals for this yearrsquos teams are modest with an

emphasis on improvement Petri said she wants her

team to develop its skills and get better each time outand the wins will come

ldquoIn time we can come together and play our offenserdquoshe said ldquoObviously I want to have a better team thanlast year Winning half our games would be our ultimategoal right nowrdquo

More than 600000 deer hunters em-braced the excitement of another nine-day gun deer season in Wisconsin andpreliminary numbers show an increasein both deer registration numbers andlicense sales through the end of the nine-day season

This yearrsquos preliminary nine-day gundeer hunt registration figures indicate atotal of 204725 deer harvested during thenine-day season compared to 199583 in2014 Since this is the first year using theGameReg system department staff areverifying this preliminary data to makesure it is correct It is possible that this

number may change slightly followingadditional evaluation

ldquoIrsquom pleased to see an increase in deerharvest numbers from last yearrdquo said BobNack DNR big game section chief ldquoHunt-ers experienced varying levels of successthroughout the state and had an enjoyabletime with family and friendsrdquo

In 2015 preliminary nine-day harvestnumbers were collected through the Ga-meReg system Hunters were required toregister their deer by 5 pm the day afterharvest as opposed to 5 pm the day afterthe nine-day season closed in years past

DNR customer service staff received

positive feedback from hunters through-out the nine-day season as they learned touse the new system Hunters who forgot toregister their deer are required to do soeven if beyond the 5 pm daily deadline

This year 612377 gun deer licenseswere sold through the end of the nine-day gun deer season compared to 608711in 2014 In total 849778 gun archeryand crossbow licenses (not including up-grades) licenses have been sold throughthe end of the nine-day gun deer seasoncompared to 835583 (not including up-grades) in 2014

Through the end of the nine-day sea-

son 23870 first-time hunters (or thosewho have not hunted in the last 10 years)have taken advantage of the first-time gundeer buyer license compared to 17644 ar-chery hunters Deer license and tag saleswill continue throughout the remaininghunting seasons

DNR investigated eight hunting inci-dents during the nine-day gun deer seasonfive non-fatal (Rock Marathon JacksonPolk and Manitowoc) and three fatal (Co-lumbia Waushara and Marathon)

Eight hunting incidents resulted in 131

Harvest data shows hunters took 204000 deer in 9-day season

Deer Camp The best place on EarthHello friendsThis is a summary of the first five days of deer camp for The Red

Brush Gang We call a 36x18 foot pole barn home each Novemberwhich we put up on public land in The Meadow Valley Wildlife Area

By the last day of the season over 25 people will have slept in it

and let me tell ya folks we hunt hard and at night we have a lot of funSaturday Nov 21 -- high 35 low 22The majority of the gang came to camp on Thursday night and

with about a dozen of our members being in the 20-something agerange the evening is just a blast for us conservative ldquoold timersrdquo towatch

There were several wrestling matches and yours truly wouldobtain rib and head injuries with the rib injuries lasting the entirenine-day season The head wound was so ugly that I refused to lookat it the first six days I was in camp

Last night I cooked my meal for the season which was scallopedpotatoes and ham a hot dish made of rice and wild game and squashIn reality you have to have about 50 pounds of food to feed this gangOnce the meal is served you get to belly up to the table the rest of theseason and have someone else prepare your meals

On opening morning there was 18 of us spread out over about15-square miles

Twenty-seven year-old Ryan Moll thought he saw deer as nightwas becoming day and that was confirmed when it became lightenough Ryan had what he described was an ldquoincredibly easy shotrdquo

at a 9-point buck with an 18-inch spread Ryanrsquos trophy had a verybusted up rack and would eventually win the The Red Brush Gangrsquosbig buck contest

About three miles north Doug Cibulka and his 16-year-old sonDerek were hunting an area near the Sprague Mather Flowage Justlike last year Doug and Derek had an experience with a pack of wolvesand later in the day they relocated Doug Cibulka saw a six-pointergoing through the brush and made some venison

Back in the area of our camp Dick Schuster (who is in his mid60s) climbs way up a pine tree and sits all day missed an easy shot

on a six-pointer tried a desperation shot and put a bullet in itrsquos neckThese three guys would be ldquobuck brothersrdquo for the night As far

as the rest of the gang goes over half of us did not see a deerSelina and I hunted where we bow hunted and I believe that the

water levels rising over 10 inches in what was dry marshrsquos and thenfreezing into halfice pushed the deer out of our area In two daysof dark to dark hunting Selina and I would see one deer

Tonight as I have done for 44 consecutive years headed over toNecedah with the gang and ate a turkey dinner at St Francis of As-sisi Catholic Church

On Monday after a very lively Sunday night at camp we began adifferent method of hunting deer which is big drives that literallycover a square mile

Everyone wears hip boots and carries a compass All of us find

out what kind of physical condition we are or are not in and todaywe had pretty steady action and not such good success

None of the adults has a doe tag There are three kids that doThree bucks were kicked up and it sounds like one of them wouldhave won the big buck contest

That buck was shot at by two hunters on a dead run and they bothmissed The half ice that I was talking about is incredibly difficult totravel through The marsh grass grabs your legs above the ice andyou have to break ice to make the next step forward

On Monday night it was down to Ross Moll his dad Jeff Moll (40consecutive years) Doug Cibulka Selina and myself

We ate a great meal Jeff would not let Doug and I go to bed andthe next day we hunted hard and that night we had visitors that keptus up late once again

Every Red Brush Hunter is addicted to this place Sunset

If I was the president Id attack em right now MaybePresident Obama promised last week in a rare

address to the nation that he plans to destroyISIL Whether that means destroying the radicalIslamist group as in wiping them off the ace othe earth in a mighty military massacre or justblocking their Net1047298ix signal so they cant watchBreaking Bad episodes during recess romglobal jihad we cant be sure I mean and I hateto say it the President could not have been muchless impressive in his speech i he had only vowedto not let ull-1047298edged ISIL militants accumulaterequent-1047298yer points while on suicide missionsYeah that woulda taught em a lesson

o be completely truthul -- or truthullycomplete I suppose -- I will tell you that I didnot watch the President deliver his speech onSunday night because 1 Tere was ootball oninstead 2) I orgot about it and 3) I knew hisstatements would be as bland as chicken soup

without the chicken celery carrots bullioncubes salt pepper noodles and paprika 1047298akesTats right about as spicy as water Yeah youdarn right I went there

In his speech the text o which I did readObama said we will hunt down terrorists in anycountry where it is necessary to which VladimirPutin said Oh really o show he has supportor his policies Obama said US allies such asFrance and Britain have ramped up their contri -butions to our military campaign which makesit sound like they are now collecting gently usedwinter coats or our advisors to wear in theSyrian desert Obama also said we are workingwith riends to disrupt ISIL which is aboutthe same verbiage I remember using in juniorhigh when me and some other hooligans tied1047297shing line to the history teachers chair leg and

his bookcase so the case ell on the 1047298oor whenhe went to sit down Yeah we disrupted himall right and had all sorts o time to talk about it

over the next 10 noon hours in the principals offi ce

alk about your post-battle brie1047297ngsIn a speech that lasted about as long as an

average waterboarding session -- but made youeel more like you were being tortured -- Obamareerred directly by name to ISIL 14 times which isbetter ree advertising than having Jennier Lopezwear your companys V-neck -shirt at the SuperBowl halfime show And about that -- why doesObama insist on calling the group ISIL when ev-eryone else on the planet calls it ISIS Is it a speechimpediment thing Is he trying to convince us thathe knows more than we do just because he uses adifferent name Or -- and this is a scary thought-- maybe hes planning to destroy the IndianaShelter or Illiterate Lawyers and weve all just beenmisunderstanding I mean yeah lawyers shouldknow how to read I get it but utter destructionseems a bit harsh

I also thought it was interesting -- no make thatprooundly disturbing -- that the President startedone o his sentences with My ellow Americans asi invoking a Richard Nixon image would somehowreassure the nation that everything possible is beingdone to combat a threatening and dangerous en-emy Because as we all remember -- at least those ous who were born beore the country realized thatBob Dylan really cant sing -- Nixon implementeda strategy known as Vietnamization in whichAmerican advisors were supposed to teach SouthVietnamese people who knew less about moderncombat techniques than Hagar the Horrible howto deeat a determined North Vietnamese orcewith sticks and some paper lea1047298ets dropped outo a helicopter In an inamous policy that datesback arther than the start o that last sentence itailed more miserably than Mason Crosbys game-

winning 1047297eld goal try against Detroit last monthWow Military history and proessional ootball

in one vaguely effective metaphor And they said

it couldnt be doneWhat cant be done at least in my opinion and

that o all the hawkish members o the right-wingCongressional caucus is deeat ISIS with the cur-rent strategy o drone strikes random bombingSpecial Forces operations (whatever the heck that

entails) and hoping that the terrorists run out osuicide bombers beore the Middle East runs outo mosques public markets schools and hotelsthat can be blown up Instead o direct aggressiveand massive-i-necessary military interventionwere relying on such tactics as passive economicsanctions against Yemeni government offi cials whomay be selling cotton to ISIS to make comortableand loose-1047297tting underwear or militant 1047297ghtersor requiring that SA offi cials at airports aroundthe country now politely ask Arab women i theresany possible chance that they might now be orhave ever considered carrying out global jihadwhile posing as a Pakistani woman studying to bea home ec teacher

I will say or the record that I have generallysupported President Obama in his seven years inthe White House his Chicago Bears support asideHowever on this issue I believe he has shownless leadership than a vegan at a pork producersconvention When this country most needs a com-

mander-in-chie whos willing to use the

$560 billion annual US deense budgetor what its there or were getting a guywho seems to be thinking Geez just 11more months to go and Ill be out o hereso the history books can blame the waron ISIL on somebody else

Its not that Im pro-war not by anymeans but sometimes a menace comesalong that is so rightening and capableo causing global terror and sufferingthat world leaders must act I mean Iremember the time in my childhoodsandbox when me and my green plastic

army soldiers were enjoying seemingly endlesspeaceul times when a blue army suddenlyappeared (a whole bag o them as a Christmaspresent ironically) and I suddenly had to makethe call o whether to stop the invasion either by

ull-on combat or to battle the insidious threat lessaggressively by lobbying Congress to pass legisla-tion that would raise the sales tax on bags o bluearmy guys thereby limiting their numbers overyou know say the next 10 years or so

Well you can bet which action I chose andits probably likely that some blue army guybody parts are still buried where my sandboxbattle1047297eld once stood under the box elder treesin our yard Let our President heed that historicallesson that some enemies o peace and reedomcannot be beaten by words and sanctions andmind-numbingly ineffective policies based onaLets cross our 1047297ngers and hope they go awaymission statement

I mean just think had I not conronted theblue army guy menace 40 years ago I might nowbe a screwed-up graying nobody pretending hes

an expert on oreign policyOh shaddup

Loyal head boys basketball coach Rob Love has been

making it a point in practices to have his players look upat the individual school sports banners on the wall andto have them notice that ldquo1968rdquo is the last number on theboys basketball programrsquos conference championship list

ldquoI keep pointing it out and saying lsquoThat number canrsquotsurviversquordquo Love said ldquoWersquove got to put another numberup thererdquo

The Greyhounds are off to a 1-1 start in their questto become the first conference champs in the sport in48 years They beat Granton on Dec 4 after losing topreseason favorite Marshfield Columbus and Love saidthis yearrsquos team is ldquostrides aheadrdquo of the 2014-15 versionthat ended up with an 8-8 mark and fifth-place finish in theEastern Cloverbelt Love has some starting experienceback in his lineup and several talented underclassmenwho will see significant playing time and the team shouldimprove as the youngsters learn the speed of the varsitygame

Love has to replace graduates Ryley Fischer LoganGenteman and Tyler Prust who all were significant

contributors a year ago Back in his starting lineup are junior guard Riley Geiger and 6rsquo4rdquo swingman CameronBrussow who give the Greyhounds a potent 1-2 scoringpunch both from the perimeter and the lane SeniorDerrick Howard also returns to the front line to battlefor rebounds and points and seniors Ben Zimmermanand Marcus Genteman will share one starting spotdepending on a given nightrsquos opponent Sophomore LukeBogdonovich is the other starting guard

Underclassmen who will play important minutesinclude sophomores Waylon Froeba Elliot Genteman andJordan Radue and freshman Quinn Brussow Theyrsquoll alsoplay with the junior varsity team but Love will need themfor varsity minutes for depth Senior Josh Zupanc out forthe sport for the first time will get some minutes as well

In Geiger and Cameron Brussow Loyal has a pair ofplayers who can easily post 20-point nights Geiger the2015 WIAA Division 5 state tournament 3-point shootingchampion is even more accurate from behind the arcthan last year Love said

ldquoThe pleasant surprise has been Riley Geigerrsquosperimeter gamerdquo Love said of the early seasondevelopments ldquoHersquos as good as Irsquove seen him Riley hasnrsquotmissed a beat I didnrsquot think hersquod get better but he hasrdquo

Brussow can also bury shots from 3-point range butdefenders had best be careful so he doesnrsquot drive pastthem A tall player with ball-handling skills Brussowcan score from anywhere

ldquoHe doesnrsquot have to play post because he can handlethe ballrdquo Love said ldquoCameron is a kid who can create hisown shot and thatrsquos a unique thing He has pretty highaspirations this yearrdquo

Bogdonovich who was ineligible to play last year aftertransferring to Loyal will bring the Greyhounds a much-needed third scoring option

ldquoWhen our two scoring leaders get things going weexpect defenses to adjust to guard Cameron and RileyrdquoLove said ldquoLuke has a great opportunity to expose thoseadjustments Hersquos got a real high basketball IQ Hersquos calmHe doesnrsquot get rattled His fundamental skills are reallyreally strongrdquo

Love does have some concerns about depth With new

WIAA rule changes for two 18-minutes halves insteadof four 8-minute quarters plus more emphasis on hand-checking players could get in foul trouble

ldquoFouls are my biggest concernrdquo the coach said ldquoIf ourtop three or four get in foul trouble we have guys whocan play but not play the same wayrdquo

That situation should ease some as the seasonprogresses and the younger players gain experience

Also Love said ldquoWersquove had to change the way we playdefense because of the way theyrsquore calling foulsrdquo Loyalwill back away from its aggressive full-court pressureand settle back more to conserve fouls

Even though he has a group of players with good skillsLove said he is still preaching the necessity of taking careof the basketball when the team is on offense

ldquoBall security is priority one two and threerdquo he saidldquoWe have to secure the ball more We have to understandthe value of every possessionrdquo

A pair of intangibles the Greyhounds will use as theytry to match up with the conference favorites are a highbasketball IQ and leadership Love said this group knowsthe game and can benefit from that

ldquoSome of the boys think basketball It makes sense tothemrdquo Love said

Geiger and Cameron Brussow will provide theleadership both in scoring and as floor captains

ldquoOur floor leaders were sophomores last year andtheyrsquore more experienced this yearrdquo Love said ldquoWersquorein good shape Wersquore strides ahead of where we werelast yearrdquo

Love sees Columbus and defending champion Spenceras the teams to beat in the ECC this year Neillsville andLoyal should be also be near the top of the pile when thedust settles with a key for the Greyhounds being ableto keep their leaders injury-free and out of foul trouble

ldquoWersquove got to keep some of our kids on the floorrdquoLove said

Greyhound boys look to make their mark in competitive ECC

It rsquo s very early int h e s e a s o n b u t t h eGreyhounds proved theyare to be taken seriouslythis season by pushingAssumption to the wireagain in a Thanksgivingweekend tournament Alast-second shot that justmissed would have liftedLoyal over the Royals inthat one but the game atleast showed area teamsthat Loyal is a legitimatecontender again thiswinter To take the nextstep Loyal has to developits bench said head coachMike Rueth and playthrough a brutal non-conference schedule thatincludes the early season1 and 2 ranked Division5 teams in the state

Loyal finished 22-4overall last year and wonits first Eastern CloverbeltConference championship

The stellar season endedwith a 56-52 sectional lossto Assumption a gamein which the Greyhoundsovercame a double digit deficit in the second half toalmost steal a win That team included now-departedseniors Missy Benz Jaelynn Young and Katie Hoeserthree players who will all be difficult to replace Havingnew reserves step in will be a key to Loyalrsquos 2015-16season Rueth said

Loyalrsquos starting five is as strong as ever Senior pointguard Devyn Schoonover and junior front-line playersMorgan Reinwand and Karsyn Rueth are all back intheir starting roles with a summer of competitive AAUbasketball behind them

ldquoYou can see the time that those kids put inrdquo coachRueth said

Moving into the starting lineup this year are seniorsJaedyn Pieper and Ryleigh Wilke two players who werea part of the main rotation last year They have plenty

of experience the coach said and have already proventhemselves as capable starters in early games this year

ldquoThey passed the test on the first nightrdquo Rueth saidldquoRight now our starting five really gets itrdquo

Repeat ECC title and more are on Loyal girls teamrsquos list of goals

Amanda Zettler Alexis Dietsche (back) Hailey Rueth Bailey Parker Karsyn Rueth Ryleigh Wilke and BryannaRayhorn

Players who Rueth is counting on to step in withvaluable contributions will include senior post playerBailey Parker who played on the varsity last year andknows the system well and freshman Hailey Rueth ayet-unproven player who will be counted on to play alow-post spot and contribute on defense and rebounding

ldquoShe has all the ability in the worldrdquo Rueth said ldquoWersquollwant her to be an offensive and defensive rebounder anda defensive specialist for us What she could do for us isall the little thingsrdquo

Others who will see varsity time include seniorAmanda Zettler junior Alexis Dietsche and sophomoreBryanna Rayhorn Their development and contributionswill be important because games are longer now with therule change to halves intend of quarters and an increasedemphasis on preventing contact on the court

They have to fill a rolerdquo Rueth said of his reservesldquoBecause of the way things are being called with thenew rules you have to have a bench Theyrsquore just callingeverything so tight nowrdquo

Having an experiencedstarting team at the

beginning of the seasonis a definite advantageRueth said because hedidnrsquot have to start withbasics However it willtake some time for thereserve players to catchup and being patient untilthey do will be important

ldquoWhen you start yourfirst practice yoursquore goingat full speed right fromthe beginningrdquo Ruethsaid ldquoThatrsquos where ourreserves are a little bitbehind Our starting five isquality We just donrsquot havethe bench we had last yearbut I think we can Wersquoregoing to get them thererdquo

Rueth believes thisyearrsquos team again has thetalent to win a conferencechampionship and somegoals are in sight beyondthat Loyal has alreadybeaten perennial ECCpower Neillsville andexpects competition fromOwen-Withee and Spencerdown the road

ldquoTherersquos no doubt wecould repeat as conferencechamps but things have togo our wayrdquo the coach saidldquoTheir (players) goals areto set on being conferencechampions againrdquo

The players also want to

win the conference cross-ver title game this yearLast winter they werebeaten by a Fall Creek

team that advanced to the state tournamentTo get his Greyhounds prepared for the inevitable

tough competition in the WIAA post-season playoffsRueth put together a difficult non-conference schedulethat includes the Assumption tournament a non-conference game against a strong Elk Mound team anda January Saturday road trip to take on Barneveld thedefending D5 state champ that is again ranked 1 Ruethis hoping that schedule will help it improve enough toget past the playoff roadblock it has encountered thepast few seasons

ldquoWersquore hoping that our non-conference schedule isgoing to get us over the humprdquo the coach said

To repeat Spencer needs young players to develop quicklyThe 2014-15 Spencer

boys basketball teamthat won the EasternCloverbelt Conferencetitle with a 14-2 leaguerecord was a mature onewith several players whohad been varsity startersfor two or even threeyears The 2015-16 teamthat will try to repeat asconference champs is notas experienced and maytake some time to developbefore itrsquos ready to play itsbest ball

The start of Spencerrsquosseason has been delayedby the football teamrsquos runto the state title gameThe Rockets postponed

their first two scheduledgames and were to openthe season with a Dec8 non-conference gameagainst Edgar Once theschedule begins coachRandy Recknerrsquos squadwill be faced with thetask of getting somenewcomers up to speedto complement a startingline-up that still includessome varsity veterans

Spencer has 2014-15 ECC player of the year Bobby Pilzback for one more season and he again will be reliedupon for his scoring abilities With starters Miles WeberNate Mercier and Mitchell Susa all gone via graduationPilzrsquo points will be even more critical this year asReckner looks for ways to bolster the teamrsquos offensivepunch Itrsquos not helping any that projected starting guard

Noah Zastrow and post player Dakota Andreae are bothlost for significant time with football-related injurieswhich seriously crimps the Rocketsrsquo depth

Joining Pilz on the starting squad will be Ryan Bussea senior who will be starting for the third-straight year

seniors Calvin Lenz and Jonny Tomke and sophomoreAaron Pankratz Lenz though not a starter in the pastplayed a crucial role on last yearrsquos team and is a versatilescorer who can defend Tomke is athletic and ldquocan helpus in a lot of waysrdquo Reckner said

Those players are proven at the varsity level whilePankratz will get his first taste of it this season Hersquoll be

the teamrsquos starting point guard and his skills as a ballhandler will be tested

ldquoWersquore asking a lot of himrdquo Reckner said ldquoHersquos avery smart kidrdquo

Others who will play in the main rotation will include

sophomores Jack Bezlyk and Jacob Miller Both of them

were important parts of a successful junior varsityteam a year ago and will be called upon to step up thenext level

Bezlyk should add some offenseldquoI think hersquos going to surprise a lot of people with

his scoring abilityrdquo Reckner said ldquoHersquos pretty athleticrdquoMiller is a post player with natural rebounding

instinctsldquoHersquos got the knack of finding the ballrdquo the coach

saidFinding new sources of of fense will be a key for the

Rockets as Susa and Mercier both averaged in doublefigures last year

ldquoWersquove got to replace a lot of scoringrdquo Reckner saidand Pilz is the most likely source

ldquoWersquore going to have to depend on him a lotrdquo Recknersaid with Busse and Lenz also being asked to pick uptheir offensive contributions

Adding to the challenge of repeating as conferencechamps is the relative youth of this team Reckner

has been spoiled in recent years with a plentitude ofexperience but thatrsquos not the case this winter

ldquoI had 2- and 3-year starters last year This year wersquorea little more inexperiencedrdquo Reckner said ldquoTherersquos a lotof teaching going on with the younger guysrdquo

Depth could be a problem for Spencer especially earlyin the season while the sophomores are growing intotheir new roles With Zastrow probably not likely to playuntil late in the season and Andreae out for probably amonth Spencer will have to rely on young players tolearn quickly

ldquoOur depth could be an issuerdquo the coach said ldquoWeprobably would be 9-deep with those two Now wersquoreprobably seven or eight just because of our inexperienceOur conference is going to be really good Hopefully they(younger players) can learn on the flyrdquo

Marshfield Columbus is looking like Spencerrsquos mainchallenge to a repeat ECC title with Neillsville andOwen-Withee also looking strong Reckner said ForSpencer to be atop the standings again at seasonrsquos end

a lot has to fall into placeldquoWe need to be consistent we need to gel as a teamrdquo

Reckner said ldquoWe need to grow up fast In any year tobe a conference champ yoursquove got to catch some breaksrdquo

Rockets girls team off to solid start more growth expected

The 2015-16 Spencer girls basketball team (front from left) Kallie Reckner Macie WeberSydney Kind Nadia King (back) Sabrina Vircks Sadie Mercier Katie Fleischman Lexi

Baehr Jessica Becker Courtney Buss and Liz Endreas

Just a few games into the 2015-16 season Spencer headgirls basketball coach Brian Abel has seen significantimprovement over last year in the way his team isperforming The Rockets are getting mentioned by othercoaches in the Eastern Cloverbelt Conference as a teamto watch out for as Spencer blends decent height and agood outside game into an improving program

Abelrsquos teams went 6-17 two years ago and 6-16 lastyear but this yearrsquos group is off to a 2-1 start with ECCwins over Colby and Marshfield Columbus Those areteams that swept the Rockets last season so Abel has agood sense that things are improving in his programThe players are familiar now with Abelrsquos coaching styleand terminolog y he said and can focus more on playingbasketball

This yearrsquos starting squad is an interesting mix ofinside-outside skills Senior Nadia King returns at thepoint while sophomore guard Lexi Baehr is in her secondvarsity year with perimeter shooting prowess JuniorCourtney Buss mans another spot while seniors Macie

Weber and Sydney Kindgive the Rockets a stronginside presence

Kallie Reckner andLiz Endreas may also getsome starts and will be inthe main rotation KatieFleischmann and JessicaBecker will also get someminutes while SabrinaVircks and Sadie Mercierwill split varsityjuniorvarsity time at least in theearly part of the season

Abel has to find ways toreplace the contributionsof Abby Varsho MelissaLehman and KaitlynWalter who all graduatedHe still has plenty ofreturning players to turnto though and that hashelped in the early season

ldquoTherersquos a lot lessteaching this year becausewersquove got a lot comingbackrdquo Abel said ldquoYou cansee it with our fast startrdquo

Spencer will continue

to run a motion offenselooking for the openperimeter shot or dumpingthe ball inside to Weber or Kind if they have a favorablematchup on the post If the shooters are on the systemworks well

ldquoIt keeps that inside-outside game working Itrsquos a goodbalance so farrdquo Abel said

Defensively the Rockets prefer to fall into a half-court2-3 zone but will come out to play man-to-man at timesThe Rockets want to prevent easy fast-break points andtry to get back in defensive positions

ldquoWe donrsquot want teams to run on usrdquo Abel said ldquoWersquore

very good at getting up and down the court I feel thisteam is very versatile in what we can dordquo

Depth-wise Abel says he has enough quality playersto substitute as needed

ldquoWe have decent depth Itrsquos not shallow by any meansrdquohe said ldquoWe can go eight or nine deep and be alrightrdquo

The Rockets still have to work on some fundamentalsto compete with top teams

ldquoWersquove got to box out defensivelyrdquo he said ldquoOn offensetherersquos an emphasis on limiting turnovers We hadproblems last year with passing under pressurerdquo

One thing Abel is looking for is steady improvementThe year is off to a good start but he wants to maintainthe development as the season progresses

ldquoItrsquos definitely been an improvement from the yearbeforerdquo he said of the teamrsquos early season ldquoI think thegirls just have another year under the system Itrsquos thatcontinual growthrdquo

One goal for Abel this season is to sweep conference

teams that Spencer split its two games with last yearand at least split with those who beat Spencer twiceThatrsquos already happened with the wins over Colby andColumbus

Abel sees Loyal Neillsville and Owen-Withee asthe usual conference favorites Spencer may not be tothe level of those programs yet he said but continuedimprovement will narrow the gap If attitude meansanything his team will be competitive

ldquoThey put the time in They donrsquot want to loserdquo Abelsaid of his players

Spencer-Columbus wrestlers looking for big results this yearTwo seasons ago Spencer head wrestling coach Jake

Zschernitz had no one to fill his lightweight positionsLast year he had the lightweights but then not theheavyweights Finally this season with the resumptionof a co-op program with Marshfield ColumbusZschernitz has everybody he needs and the Rockets lookto be strong

With three wrestlers returning this season afterqualifying for the state meet a year ago -- plus the additionof Columbus athletes and a few underclassmen -- theRockets look to be headed for a strong 2015-16 campaignThey wonrsquot have to overcome the forfeit points theyallowed in the last two seasons and that has Zschernitzthinking the Rockets can repeat as Cloverbelt Conferencedual meet champions and also take the conferencetournament

Spencer-Columbus will be solid at several weightsReturning are 2015 state qualifiers sophomore BryceShaw at 126 pounds senior Tim Bauer at 138 andsophomore Hunter Luepke at 195 Seniors HunterHildebrandt (170) Austin Post (132) and Nate Neumann

(160) also return to the varsity lineupColumbus freshmen Jake Dick (106) and Zach Wheeler-Savoy (113) will take over the lightweight spots whilesophomore Dominick Wichlacz will be at 120 SophomoreJeremiah Giles is slotted in at 145 and freshman CarsonHildebrandt will be at 152 Senior Jake Hainzlsperger willman the 182-pound class senior Elijah Welsh and juniorMax Johnson will contend at 220 and freshman LoganZschernitz and senior Ryan Schauer are the heavyweightchallengers

Shaw placed sixth at state last year the highest finishever for a Spencer freshman Bauer worked hard overthe summer to get even better than his state-qualifyingform of a year ago and Luepke is back as a defendingconference champion and state qualifier HunterHildebrandt and Neumann are also 2015 conferencetournament champions

ldquoThat whole group is going to be a big part of oursuccessrdquo Zschernitz said

Newcomers expected to help include Carson

Hildebrandt and Logan Zschernitz who both haveconsiderable youth wrestling experience Welsh couldbe an interesting wrestler to watch and is someonewho the coach describes as ldquoa naturalrdquo but hasnrsquot beenable to compete at the varsity level because Columbusdidnrsquot have a program Austin Post will bring his footballathleticism to the mat as well and Johnson -- who did notgo out for wrestling last year -- was a sectional qualifieras a freshman

The addition of the Columbus wrestlers at last givesZschernitz the athletes he needs at the right weights

ldquoIf we didnrsquot have them the lightweights would behard to fill againrdquo the coach said

The addition of Columbus will push the Rocketprogram into Division 2 for the state tournament seriesbut Zschernitz doesnrsquot see that as an issue In fact movingout of D3 means the Rockets can avoid such usual smallschool powerhouses as Stratford and Edgar

Zschernitz expects his team can repeat as Cloverbeltdual meet champs and should be a top contender at theconference meet Last year the Rockets lost to Stanley-Boyd by only a few points partly because it had to forfeitat two weights

Not this year And not only does Zschernitz have a fullteam but he has a group thatrsquos as confident as can be afterthe Spencer-Columbus football team went all the way tothe state championship game Many of the athletes areon both teams

ldquoTop to bottom this is definitely the best team wersquovehadrdquo Zschernitz said ldquoWersquore fairly solid all the waythrough Wersquore hoping with the success of the footballco-op it carries over to wrestling Wrestling and footballgo hand-in-hand in my opinion I think the run in footballhelped just to show them they can get to that level if theywant to workrdquo

6 ndash Wednesday December 9 2015 WINTER SPORTS PREVIEW

Greenwood head boys basketball coach EricJohnsonrsquos entire starting five from last year put ona graduation robe in May and headed off to newadventures Left behind in the Greenwood program area few experienced varsity players a wealth of talentedunderclassmen and a question mark as to how fast thisyearrsquos team can develop

In Johnsonrsquos first year as head coach his senior-dominated squad posted a 7-9 record in the EasternCloverbelt Conference and a 10-13 overall mark Gonefrom the group are graduates Booker Bredlau and LoganJohnson who both received all-conference mention andfellow starters Dane Toburen Delten Schmitz and DylanNorth To say Johnson has a rebuilding job on his handsthis year may be just a bit of an understatement

he does have a pair of seniors back in Decker Lindnerand Sam Revier who saw considerable varsity time in2014-15 Joining them as starters will be juniors TrevorSerocki and Zach Zimbauer and sophomore DevinToburen Junior Walker Wuethrich will usually be thefirst guy off the bench with senior Aaron Lindner

junior Cole Lucas and sophomore Tyler Genteman alsofiguring into the rotationldquoWersquore inexperienced at the varsity levelrdquo Johnson

said ldquoThe kids are going to have to catch up to the gamespeed Irsquove got basketball talent out there Hopefully byChristmas time the kids will be caught up and we canbe competitive in every gamerdquo

Greenwood started the season with a non-conferenceloss to Abbotsford and ECC losses to Colby andNeillsville That result is to be expected at least for awhile as the players learn what it takes to compete atthe varsity pace

ldquoThey understand the offense and defense andwhat I want out of themrdquo Johnson said ldquoThe kidsall understand the offense really well Itrsquos just gettingthem up to game speed and you canrsquot simulate that inpracticerdquo

Serocki is showing solid skills at point guard andRevier and Decker Lindner should give the Indiansrebounding defense and inside scoring Toburen is a

versatile player who should develop as he gets varsityminutes

ldquoHe can score inside and outsiderdquo the coach saidldquoHe can handle the ball and rebound He gives me alittle of everythingrdquo

Greenwood will not be able to rely on a strongperimeter game as the young shooters are still tryingto find their range It could be a streaky season as aplayer or two gets hot then cools down

ldquoI donrsquot have a pure shooterrdquo Johnson said ldquoI haveguys who can stroke it but they can lose the stroke just as fastrdquo

Ball security is another area of concern The Indianshave averaged more turnovers than Johnson wants inthe teamrsquos first games Fouls have also been an issuebut that is partly due to officialsrsquo new emphasis onhand-checking and a switch to longer halves intend ofquarters

Johnson said he expects a balanced scoring attackat least until someone emerges as a consistent source

of pointsldquoNobody is really going to stand outrdquo he said ldquoI have

not found that guy yet I hope either Devin or Trevorwill develop into that guyrdquo

Johnson sees Marshfield Columbus as the best teamin the ECC this year with defending champion SpencerNeillsville Owen-Withee and Loyal all figuring to be inthe top half

ldquoHopefully we can fall in somewhere behind thatrdquohe said

Greenwood head basketball coach Carey Petrirsquosfirst year at the helm of the program was not the mostpleasant one with most of her starting and contributingplayers suspended for half the season and the juniorvarsity players called up to fill in One positive fromthat experience is that several young players got varsitytime -- albeit before they were ready -- and that shouldtranslate to a more mature team this season

Petrirsquos Indians are off to a 1-3 start this season as theytry to put last yearrsquos season in the rear-view mirror Theteam took a major blow before this season even startedwhen star senior Taylor Opelt injured her knee in anopen gym workout She was last yearrsquos leading scorerand would have been the centerpiece of Petrirsquos offensethis season

Petrirsquos main group of players this year includesseniors Ashley Walker Lexi Hinker and Renee Herdrich junior Kassidy Lamovec and sophomores Kelly Nielsenand Kaylee Learman Seniors Kaylee Meyer NatalieHackel and Kristyn Nigon are also getting considerableminutes early in the season

In addition to losing Opelt Petri also has to replacegraduates Morgan Hinker and Madison Lucas Thatleaves a huge scoring void to fill which Petri willattempt to cover by having the Indians play a slow tempostyle in which they wait patiently for good shots

ldquoWersquore trying to focus on playing our offense andplaying to our tempordquo she said ldquoWersquore trying to slowthings downrdquo

Several of the key players on this yearrsquos team wereforced into varsity action a year ago and that is payingdividends now

ldquoWith those freshmen who played it kind of got thenerves out of the way a little bitrdquo Petri said

With everyone more comfortable in their roles thisyearrsquos team is playing better as a group One of theIndiansrsquo strengths should be cohesion

ldquoI think this year our chemistry our working welltogether is a strengthrdquo Petri said ldquoWersquore coming closeras a teamrdquo

Shooting has been an issue early for the Indians The

team needs improvement from the perimeter the coachsaid as it has little height to set up plays to the post

ldquoThe shooting is getting betterrdquo Petri said ldquoWersquoreworking on itrdquo

The defense is also showing improvement withplayers adjusting to their responsibilities in the man-

Greenwood girls looking for improvement as season progresses

to-man schemeldquoItrsquos definitely better than last yearrdquo Petri said

ldquoWersquore getting to the spots faster We understand the

rotationsrdquoThe players are also aware of the need for better ball

handling One reason for slowing the tempo down is toavoid situations where opponents pressure the Indiansinto turnovers

ldquoOther teams are aggressive and we tend to panicrdquo

Petri saidThe goals for this yearrsquos teams are modest with an

emphasis on improvement Petri said she wants her

team to develop its skills and get better each time outand the wins will come

ldquoIn time we can come together and play our offenserdquoshe said ldquoObviously I want to have a better team thanlast year Winning half our games would be our ultimategoal right nowrdquo

ldquoIrsquom pleased to see an increase in deerharvest numbers from last yearrdquo said BobNack DNR big game section chief ldquoHunt-ers experienced varying levels of successthroughout the state and had an enjoyabletime with family and friendsrdquo

In 2015 preliminary nine-day harvestnumbers were collected through the Ga-meReg system Hunters were required toregister their deer by 5 pm the day afterharvest as opposed to 5 pm the day afterthe nine-day season closed in years past

DNR customer service staff received

positive feedback from hunters through-out the nine-day season as they learned touse the new system Hunters who forgot toregister their deer are required to do soeven if beyond the 5 pm daily deadline

Deer Camp The best place on EarthHello friendsThis is a summary of the first five days of deer camp for The Red

Brush Gang We call a 36x18 foot pole barn home each Novemberwhich we put up on public land in The Meadow Valley Wildlife Area

By the last day of the season over 25 people will have slept in it

and let me tell ya folks we hunt hard and at night we have a lot of funSaturday Nov 21 -- high 35 low 22The majority of the gang came to camp on Thursday night and

with about a dozen of our members being in the 20-something agerange the evening is just a blast for us conservative ldquoold timersrdquo towatch

There were several wrestling matches and yours truly wouldobtain rib and head injuries with the rib injuries lasting the entirenine-day season The head wound was so ugly that I refused to lookat it the first six days I was in camp

Last night I cooked my meal for the season which was scallopedpotatoes and ham a hot dish made of rice and wild game and squashIn reality you have to have about 50 pounds of food to feed this gangOnce the meal is served you get to belly up to the table the rest of theseason and have someone else prepare your meals

On opening morning there was 18 of us spread out over about15-square miles

Twenty-seven year-old Ryan Moll thought he saw deer as nightwas becoming day and that was confirmed when it became lightenough Ryan had what he described was an ldquoincredibly easy shotrdquo

at a 9-point buck with an 18-inch spread Ryanrsquos trophy had a verybusted up rack and would eventually win the The Red Brush Gangrsquosbig buck contest

About three miles north Doug Cibulka and his 16-year-old sonDerek were hunting an area near the Sprague Mather Flowage Justlike last year Doug and Derek had an experience with a pack of wolvesand later in the day they relocated Doug Cibulka saw a six-pointergoing through the brush and made some venison

Back in the area of our camp Dick Schuster (who is in his mid60s) climbs way up a pine tree and sits all day missed an easy shot

on a six-pointer tried a desperation shot and put a bullet in itrsquos neckThese three guys would be ldquobuck brothersrdquo for the night As far

as the rest of the gang goes over half of us did not see a deerSelina and I hunted where we bow hunted and I believe that the

water levels rising over 10 inches in what was dry marshrsquos and thenfreezing into halfice pushed the deer out of our area In two daysof dark to dark hunting Selina and I would see one deer

Tonight as I have done for 44 consecutive years headed over toNecedah with the gang and ate a turkey dinner at St Francis of As-sisi Catholic Church

On Monday after a very lively Sunday night at camp we began adifferent method of hunting deer which is big drives that literallycover a square mile

Everyone wears hip boots and carries a compass All of us find

out what kind of physical condition we are or are not in and todaywe had pretty steady action and not such good success

None of the adults has a doe tag There are three kids that doThree bucks were kicked up and it sounds like one of them wouldhave won the big buck contest

That buck was shot at by two hunters on a dead run and they bothmissed The half ice that I was talking about is incredibly difficult totravel through The marsh grass grabs your legs above the ice andyou have to break ice to make the next step forward

On Monday night it was down to Ross Moll his dad Jeff Moll (40consecutive years) Doug Cibulka Selina and myself

We ate a great meal Jeff would not let Doug and I go to bed andthe next day we hunted hard and that night we had visitors that keptus up late once again

Every Red Brush Hunter is addicted to this place Sunset

If I was the president Id attack em right now MaybePresident Obama promised last week in a rare

address to the nation that he plans to destroyISIL Whether that means destroying the radicalIslamist group as in wiping them off the ace othe earth in a mighty military massacre or justblocking their Net1047298ix signal so they cant watchBreaking Bad episodes during recess romglobal jihad we cant be sure I mean and I hateto say it the President could not have been muchless impressive in his speech i he had only vowedto not let ull-1047298edged ISIL militants accumulaterequent-1047298yer points while on suicide missionsYeah that woulda taught em a lesson

o be completely truthul -- or truthullycomplete I suppose -- I will tell you that I didnot watch the President deliver his speech onSunday night because 1 Tere was ootball oninstead 2) I orgot about it and 3) I knew hisstatements would be as bland as chicken soup

without the chicken celery carrots bullioncubes salt pepper noodles and paprika 1047298akesTats right about as spicy as water Yeah youdarn right I went there

In his speech the text o which I did readObama said we will hunt down terrorists in anycountry where it is necessary to which VladimirPutin said Oh really o show he has supportor his policies Obama said US allies such asFrance and Britain have ramped up their contri -butions to our military campaign which makesit sound like they are now collecting gently usedwinter coats or our advisors to wear in theSyrian desert Obama also said we are workingwith riends to disrupt ISIL which is aboutthe same verbiage I remember using in juniorhigh when me and some other hooligans tied1047297shing line to the history teachers chair leg and

his bookcase so the case ell on the 1047298oor whenhe went to sit down Yeah we disrupted himall right and had all sorts o time to talk about it

over the next 10 noon hours in the principals offi ce

alk about your post-battle brie1047297ngsIn a speech that lasted about as long as an

average waterboarding session -- but made youeel more like you were being tortured -- Obamareerred directly by name to ISIL 14 times which isbetter ree advertising than having Jennier Lopezwear your companys V-neck -shirt at the SuperBowl halfime show And about that -- why doesObama insist on calling the group ISIL when ev-eryone else on the planet calls it ISIS Is it a speechimpediment thing Is he trying to convince us thathe knows more than we do just because he uses adifferent name Or -- and this is a scary thought-- maybe hes planning to destroy the IndianaShelter or Illiterate Lawyers and weve all just beenmisunderstanding I mean yeah lawyers shouldknow how to read I get it but utter destructionseems a bit harsh

I also thought it was interesting -- no make thatprooundly disturbing -- that the President startedone o his sentences with My ellow Americans asi invoking a Richard Nixon image would somehowreassure the nation that everything possible is beingdone to combat a threatening and dangerous en-emy Because as we all remember -- at least those ous who were born beore the country realized thatBob Dylan really cant sing -- Nixon implementeda strategy known as Vietnamization in whichAmerican advisors were supposed to teach SouthVietnamese people who knew less about moderncombat techniques than Hagar the Horrible howto deeat a determined North Vietnamese orcewith sticks and some paper lea1047298ets dropped outo a helicopter In an inamous policy that datesback arther than the start o that last sentence itailed more miserably than Mason Crosbys game-

winning 1047297eld goal try against Detroit last monthWow Military history and proessional ootball

in one vaguely effective metaphor And they said

it couldnt be doneWhat cant be done at least in my opinion and

that o all the hawkish members o the right-wingCongressional caucus is deeat ISIS with the cur-rent strategy o drone strikes random bombingSpecial Forces operations (whatever the heck that

entails) and hoping that the terrorists run out osuicide bombers beore the Middle East runs outo mosques public markets schools and hotelsthat can be blown up Instead o direct aggressiveand massive-i-necessary military interventionwere relying on such tactics as passive economicsanctions against Yemeni government offi cials whomay be selling cotton to ISIS to make comortableand loose-1047297tting underwear or militant 1047297ghtersor requiring that SA offi cials at airports aroundthe country now politely ask Arab women i theresany possible chance that they might now be orhave ever considered carrying out global jihadwhile posing as a Pakistani woman studying to bea home ec teacher

I will say or the record that I have generallysupported President Obama in his seven years inthe White House his Chicago Bears support asideHowever on this issue I believe he has shownless leadership than a vegan at a pork producersconvention When this country most needs a com-

mander-in-chie whos willing to use the

$560 billion annual US deense budgetor what its there or were getting a guywho seems to be thinking Geez just 11more months to go and Ill be out o hereso the history books can blame the waron ISIL on somebody else

Its not that Im pro-war not by anymeans but sometimes a menace comesalong that is so rightening and capableo causing global terror and sufferingthat world leaders must act I mean Iremember the time in my childhoodsandbox when me and my green plastic

army soldiers were enjoying seemingly endlesspeaceul times when a blue army suddenlyappeared (a whole bag o them as a Christmaspresent ironically) and I suddenly had to makethe call o whether to stop the invasion either by

ull-on combat or to battle the insidious threat lessaggressively by lobbying Congress to pass legisla-tion that would raise the sales tax on bags o bluearmy guys thereby limiting their numbers overyou know say the next 10 years or so

Well you can bet which action I chose andits probably likely that some blue army guybody parts are still buried where my sandboxbattle1047297eld once stood under the box elder treesin our yard Let our President heed that historicallesson that some enemies o peace and reedomcannot be beaten by words and sanctions andmind-numbingly ineffective policies based onaLets cross our 1047297ngers and hope they go awaymission statement

I mean just think had I not conronted theblue army guy menace 40 years ago I might nowbe a screwed-up graying nobody pretending hes

an expert on oreign policyOh shaddup

Loyal head boys basketball coach Rob Love has been

making it a point in practices to have his players look upat the individual school sports banners on the wall andto have them notice that ldquo1968rdquo is the last number on theboys basketball programrsquos conference championship list

ldquoI keep pointing it out and saying lsquoThat number canrsquotsurviversquordquo Love said ldquoWersquove got to put another numberup thererdquo

The Greyhounds are off to a 1-1 start in their questto become the first conference champs in the sport in48 years They beat Granton on Dec 4 after losing topreseason favorite Marshfield Columbus and Love saidthis yearrsquos team is ldquostrides aheadrdquo of the 2014-15 versionthat ended up with an 8-8 mark and fifth-place finish in theEastern Cloverbelt Love has some starting experienceback in his lineup and several talented underclassmenwho will see significant playing time and the team shouldimprove as the youngsters learn the speed of the varsitygame

Love has to replace graduates Ryley Fischer LoganGenteman and Tyler Prust who all were significant

contributors a year ago Back in his starting lineup are junior guard Riley Geiger and 6rsquo4rdquo swingman CameronBrussow who give the Greyhounds a potent 1-2 scoringpunch both from the perimeter and the lane SeniorDerrick Howard also returns to the front line to battlefor rebounds and points and seniors Ben Zimmermanand Marcus Genteman will share one starting spotdepending on a given nightrsquos opponent Sophomore LukeBogdonovich is the other starting guard

Underclassmen who will play important minutesinclude sophomores Waylon Froeba Elliot Genteman andJordan Radue and freshman Quinn Brussow Theyrsquoll alsoplay with the junior varsity team but Love will need themfor varsity minutes for depth Senior Josh Zupanc out forthe sport for the first time will get some minutes as well

In Geiger and Cameron Brussow Loyal has a pair ofplayers who can easily post 20-point nights Geiger the2015 WIAA Division 5 state tournament 3-point shootingchampion is even more accurate from behind the arcthan last year Love said

ldquoThe pleasant surprise has been Riley Geigerrsquosperimeter gamerdquo Love said of the early seasondevelopments ldquoHersquos as good as Irsquove seen him Riley hasnrsquotmissed a beat I didnrsquot think hersquod get better but he hasrdquo

Brussow can also bury shots from 3-point range butdefenders had best be careful so he doesnrsquot drive pastthem A tall player with ball-handling skills Brussowcan score from anywhere

ldquoHe doesnrsquot have to play post because he can handlethe ballrdquo Love said ldquoCameron is a kid who can create hisown shot and thatrsquos a unique thing He has pretty highaspirations this yearrdquo

Bogdonovich who was ineligible to play last year aftertransferring to Loyal will bring the Greyhounds a much-needed third scoring option

ldquoWhen our two scoring leaders get things going weexpect defenses to adjust to guard Cameron and RileyrdquoLove said ldquoLuke has a great opportunity to expose thoseadjustments Hersquos got a real high basketball IQ Hersquos calmHe doesnrsquot get rattled His fundamental skills are reallyreally strongrdquo

Love does have some concerns about depth With new

WIAA rule changes for two 18-minutes halves insteadof four 8-minute quarters plus more emphasis on hand-checking players could get in foul trouble

ldquoFouls are my biggest concernrdquo the coach said ldquoIf ourtop three or four get in foul trouble we have guys whocan play but not play the same wayrdquo

That situation should ease some as the seasonprogresses and the younger players gain experience

Also Love said ldquoWersquove had to change the way we playdefense because of the way theyrsquore calling foulsrdquo Loyalwill back away from its aggressive full-court pressureand settle back more to conserve fouls

Even though he has a group of players with good skillsLove said he is still preaching the necessity of taking careof the basketball when the team is on offense

ldquoBall security is priority one two and threerdquo he saidldquoWe have to secure the ball more We have to understandthe value of every possessionrdquo

A pair of intangibles the Greyhounds will use as theytry to match up with the conference favorites are a highbasketball IQ and leadership Love said this group knowsthe game and can benefit from that

ldquoSome of the boys think basketball It makes sense tothemrdquo Love said

Geiger and Cameron Brussow will provide theleadership both in scoring and as floor captains

ldquoOur floor leaders were sophomores last year andtheyrsquore more experienced this yearrdquo Love said ldquoWersquorein good shape Wersquore strides ahead of where we werelast yearrdquo

Love sees Columbus and defending champion Spenceras the teams to beat in the ECC this year Neillsville andLoyal should be also be near the top of the pile when thedust settles with a key for the Greyhounds being ableto keep their leaders injury-free and out of foul trouble

ldquoWersquove got to keep some of our kids on the floorrdquoLove said

Greyhound boys look to make their mark in competitive ECC

so close last season todefeating annual nemesisW i s c o n s i n R a p i d sAssumption in a WIAADivision 5 sectional semi-final game Will this bethe year the Greyhoundsfinally get over theAssumption hump to takea big step toward the statetournament

It rsquo s very early int h e s e a s o n b u t t h eGreyhounds proved theyare to be taken seriouslythis season by pushingAssumption to the wireagain in a Thanksgivingweekend tournament Alast-second shot that justmissed would have liftedLoyal over the Royals inthat one but the game atleast showed area teamsthat Loyal is a legitimatecontender again thiswinter To take the nextstep Loyal has to developits bench said head coachMike Rueth and playthrough a brutal non-conference schedule thatincludes the early season1 and 2 ranked Division5 teams in the state

Loyal finished 22-4overall last year and wonits first Eastern CloverbeltConference championship

The stellar season endedwith a 56-52 sectional lossto Assumption a gamein which the Greyhoundsovercame a double digit deficit in the second half toalmost steal a win That team included now-departedseniors Missy Benz Jaelynn Young and Katie Hoeserthree players who will all be difficult to replace Havingnew reserves step in will be a key to Loyalrsquos 2015-16season Rueth said

Loyalrsquos starting five is as strong as ever Senior pointguard Devyn Schoonover and junior front-line playersMorgan Reinwand and Karsyn Rueth are all back intheir starting roles with a summer of competitive AAUbasketball behind them

ldquoYou can see the time that those kids put inrdquo coachRueth said

Moving into the starting lineup this year are seniorsJaedyn Pieper and Ryleigh Wilke two players who werea part of the main rotation last year They have plenty

of experience the coach said and have already proventhemselves as capable starters in early games this year

ldquoThey passed the test on the first nightrdquo Rueth saidldquoRight now our starting five really gets itrdquo

Repeat ECC title and more are on Loyal girls teamrsquos list of goals

Amanda Zettler Alexis Dietsche (back) Hailey Rueth Bailey Parker Karsyn Rueth Ryleigh Wilke and BryannaRayhorn

Players who Rueth is counting on to step in withvaluable contributions will include senior post playerBailey Parker who played on the varsity last year andknows the system well and freshman Hailey Rueth ayet-unproven player who will be counted on to play alow-post spot and contribute on defense and rebounding

ldquoShe has all the ability in the worldrdquo Rueth said ldquoWersquollwant her to be an offensive and defensive rebounder anda defensive specialist for us What she could do for us isall the little thingsrdquo

Others who will see varsity time include seniorAmanda Zettler junior Alexis Dietsche and sophomoreBryanna Rayhorn Their development and contributionswill be important because games are longer now with therule change to halves intend of quarters and an increasedemphasis on preventing contact on the court

They have to fill a rolerdquo Rueth said of his reservesldquoBecause of the way things are being called with thenew rules you have to have a bench Theyrsquore just callingeverything so tight nowrdquo

Having an experiencedstarting team at the

beginning of the seasonis a definite advantageRueth said because hedidnrsquot have to start withbasics However it willtake some time for thereserve players to catchup and being patient untilthey do will be important

ldquoWhen you start yourfirst practice yoursquore goingat full speed right fromthe beginningrdquo Ruethsaid ldquoThatrsquos where ourreserves are a little bitbehind Our starting five isquality We just donrsquot havethe bench we had last yearbut I think we can Wersquoregoing to get them thererdquo

Rueth believes thisyearrsquos team again has thetalent to win a conferencechampionship and somegoals are in sight beyondthat Loyal has alreadybeaten perennial ECCpower Neillsville andexpects competition fromOwen-Withee and Spencerdown the road

ldquoTherersquos no doubt wecould repeat as conferencechamps but things have togo our wayrdquo the coach saidldquoTheir (players) goals areto set on being conferencechampions againrdquo

The players also want to

win the conference cross-ver title game this yearLast winter they werebeaten by a Fall Creek

team that advanced to the state tournamentTo get his Greyhounds prepared for the inevitable

tough competition in the WIAA post-season playoffsRueth put together a difficult non-conference schedulethat includes the Assumption tournament a non-conference game against a strong Elk Mound team anda January Saturday road trip to take on Barneveld thedefending D5 state champ that is again ranked 1 Ruethis hoping that schedule will help it improve enough toget past the playoff roadblock it has encountered thepast few seasons

ldquoWersquore hoping that our non-conference schedule isgoing to get us over the humprdquo the coach said

To repeat Spencer needs young players to develop quicklyThe 2014-15 Spencer

boys basketball teamthat won the EasternCloverbelt Conferencetitle with a 14-2 leaguerecord was a mature onewith several players whohad been varsity startersfor two or even threeyears The 2015-16 teamthat will try to repeat asconference champs is notas experienced and maytake some time to developbefore itrsquos ready to play itsbest ball

The start of Spencerrsquosseason has been delayedby the football teamrsquos runto the state title gameThe Rockets postponed

their first two scheduledgames and were to openthe season with a Dec8 non-conference gameagainst Edgar Once theschedule begins coachRandy Recknerrsquos squadwill be faced with thetask of getting somenewcomers up to speedto complement a startingline-up that still includessome varsity veterans

Spencer has 2014-15 ECC player of the year Bobby Pilzback for one more season and he again will be reliedupon for his scoring abilities With starters Miles WeberNate Mercier and Mitchell Susa all gone via graduationPilzrsquo points will be even more critical this year asReckner looks for ways to bolster the teamrsquos offensivepunch Itrsquos not helping any that projected starting guard

Noah Zastrow and post player Dakota Andreae are bothlost for significant time with football-related injurieswhich seriously crimps the Rocketsrsquo depth

Joining Pilz on the starting squad will be Ryan Bussea senior who will be starting for the third-straight year

seniors Calvin Lenz and Jonny Tomke and sophomoreAaron Pankratz Lenz though not a starter in the pastplayed a crucial role on last yearrsquos team and is a versatilescorer who can defend Tomke is athletic and ldquocan helpus in a lot of waysrdquo Reckner said

Those players are proven at the varsity level whilePankratz will get his first taste of it this season Hersquoll be

the teamrsquos starting point guard and his skills as a ballhandler will be tested

ldquoWersquore asking a lot of himrdquo Reckner said ldquoHersquos avery smart kidrdquo

Others who will play in the main rotation will include

sophomores Jack Bezlyk and Jacob Miller Both of them

were important parts of a successful junior varsityteam a year ago and will be called upon to step up thenext level

Bezlyk should add some offenseldquoI think hersquos going to surprise a lot of people with

his scoring abilityrdquo Reckner said ldquoHersquos pretty athleticrdquoMiller is a post player with natural rebounding

instinctsldquoHersquos got the knack of finding the ballrdquo the coach

saidFinding new sources of of fense will be a key for the

Rockets as Susa and Mercier both averaged in doublefigures last year

ldquoWersquove got to replace a lot of scoringrdquo Reckner saidand Pilz is the most likely source

ldquoWersquore going to have to depend on him a lotrdquo Recknersaid with Busse and Lenz also being asked to pick uptheir offensive contributions

Adding to the challenge of repeating as conferencechamps is the relative youth of this team Reckner

has been spoiled in recent years with a plentitude ofexperience but thatrsquos not the case this winter

ldquoI had 2- and 3-year starters last year This year wersquorea little more inexperiencedrdquo Reckner said ldquoTherersquos a lotof teaching going on with the younger guysrdquo

Depth could be a problem for Spencer especially earlyin the season while the sophomores are growing intotheir new roles With Zastrow probably not likely to playuntil late in the season and Andreae out for probably amonth Spencer will have to rely on young players tolearn quickly

ldquoOur depth could be an issuerdquo the coach said ldquoWeprobably would be 9-deep with those two Now wersquoreprobably seven or eight just because of our inexperienceOur conference is going to be really good Hopefully they(younger players) can learn on the flyrdquo

Marshfield Columbus is looking like Spencerrsquos mainchallenge to a repeat ECC title with Neillsville andOwen-Withee also looking strong Reckner said ForSpencer to be atop the standings again at seasonrsquos end

a lot has to fall into placeldquoWe need to be consistent we need to gel as a teamrdquo

Reckner said ldquoWe need to grow up fast In any year tobe a conference champ yoursquove got to catch some breaksrdquo

Rockets girls team off to solid start more growth expected

The 2015-16 Spencer girls basketball team (front from left) Kallie Reckner Macie WeberSydney Kind Nadia King (back) Sabrina Vircks Sadie Mercier Katie Fleischman Lexi

Baehr Jessica Becker Courtney Buss and Liz Endreas

Just a few games into the 2015-16 season Spencer headgirls basketball coach Brian Abel has seen significantimprovement over last year in the way his team isperforming The Rockets are getting mentioned by othercoaches in the Eastern Cloverbelt Conference as a teamto watch out for as Spencer blends decent height and agood outside game into an improving program

Abelrsquos teams went 6-17 two years ago and 6-16 lastyear but this yearrsquos group is off to a 2-1 start with ECCwins over Colby and Marshfield Columbus Those areteams that swept the Rockets last season so Abel has agood sense that things are improving in his programThe players are familiar now with Abelrsquos coaching styleand terminolog y he said and can focus more on playingbasketball

This yearrsquos starting squad is an interesting mix ofinside-outside skills Senior Nadia King returns at thepoint while sophomore guard Lexi Baehr is in her secondvarsity year with perimeter shooting prowess JuniorCourtney Buss mans another spot while seniors Macie

Weber and Sydney Kindgive the Rockets a stronginside presence

Kallie Reckner andLiz Endreas may also getsome starts and will be inthe main rotation KatieFleischmann and JessicaBecker will also get someminutes while SabrinaVircks and Sadie Mercierwill split varsityjuniorvarsity time at least in theearly part of the season

Abel has to find ways toreplace the contributionsof Abby Varsho MelissaLehman and KaitlynWalter who all graduatedHe still has plenty ofreturning players to turnto though and that hashelped in the early season

ldquoTherersquos a lot lessteaching this year becausewersquove got a lot comingbackrdquo Abel said ldquoYou cansee it with our fast startrdquo

Spencer will continue

to run a motion offenselooking for the openperimeter shot or dumpingthe ball inside to Weber or Kind if they have a favorablematchup on the post If the shooters are on the systemworks well

ldquoIt keeps that inside-outside game working Itrsquos a goodbalance so farrdquo Abel said

Defensively the Rockets prefer to fall into a half-court2-3 zone but will come out to play man-to-man at timesThe Rockets want to prevent easy fast-break points andtry to get back in defensive positions

ldquoWe donrsquot want teams to run on usrdquo Abel said ldquoWersquore

very good at getting up and down the court I feel thisteam is very versatile in what we can dordquo

Depth-wise Abel says he has enough quality playersto substitute as needed

ldquoWe have decent depth Itrsquos not shallow by any meansrdquohe said ldquoWe can go eight or nine deep and be alrightrdquo

The Rockets still have to work on some fundamentalsto compete with top teams

ldquoWersquove got to box out defensivelyrdquo he said ldquoOn offensetherersquos an emphasis on limiting turnovers We hadproblems last year with passing under pressurerdquo

One thing Abel is looking for is steady improvementThe year is off to a good start but he wants to maintainthe development as the season progresses

ldquoItrsquos definitely been an improvement from the yearbeforerdquo he said of the teamrsquos early season ldquoI think thegirls just have another year under the system Itrsquos thatcontinual growthrdquo

One goal for Abel this season is to sweep conference

teams that Spencer split its two games with last yearand at least split with those who beat Spencer twiceThatrsquos already happened with the wins over Colby andColumbus

Abel sees Loyal Neillsville and Owen-Withee asthe usual conference favorites Spencer may not be tothe level of those programs yet he said but continuedimprovement will narrow the gap If attitude meansanything his team will be competitive

ldquoThey put the time in They donrsquot want to loserdquo Abelsaid of his players

Spencer-Columbus wrestlers looking for big results this yearTwo seasons ago Spencer head wrestling coach Jake

Zschernitz had no one to fill his lightweight positionsLast year he had the lightweights but then not theheavyweights Finally this season with the resumptionof a co-op program with Marshfield ColumbusZschernitz has everybody he needs and the Rockets lookto be strong

With three wrestlers returning this season afterqualifying for the state meet a year ago -- plus the additionof Columbus athletes and a few underclassmen -- theRockets look to be headed for a strong 2015-16 campaignThey wonrsquot have to overcome the forfeit points theyallowed in the last two seasons and that has Zschernitzthinking the Rockets can repeat as Cloverbelt Conferencedual meet champions and also take the conferencetournament

Spencer-Columbus will be solid at several weightsReturning are 2015 state qualifiers sophomore BryceShaw at 126 pounds senior Tim Bauer at 138 andsophomore Hunter Luepke at 195 Seniors HunterHildebrandt (170) Austin Post (132) and Nate Neumann

(160) also return to the varsity lineupColumbus freshmen Jake Dick (106) and Zach Wheeler-Savoy (113) will take over the lightweight spots whilesophomore Dominick Wichlacz will be at 120 SophomoreJeremiah Giles is slotted in at 145 and freshman CarsonHildebrandt will be at 152 Senior Jake Hainzlsperger willman the 182-pound class senior Elijah Welsh and juniorMax Johnson will contend at 220 and freshman LoganZschernitz and senior Ryan Schauer are the heavyweightchallengers

Shaw placed sixth at state last year the highest finishever for a Spencer freshman Bauer worked hard overthe summer to get even better than his state-qualifyingform of a year ago and Luepke is back as a defendingconference champion and state qualifier HunterHildebrandt and Neumann are also 2015 conferencetournament champions

ldquoThat whole group is going to be a big part of oursuccessrdquo Zschernitz said

Newcomers expected to help include Carson

Hildebrandt and Logan Zschernitz who both haveconsiderable youth wrestling experience Welsh couldbe an interesting wrestler to watch and is someonewho the coach describes as ldquoa naturalrdquo but hasnrsquot beenable to compete at the varsity level because Columbusdidnrsquot have a program Austin Post will bring his footballathleticism to the mat as well and Johnson -- who did notgo out for wrestling last year -- was a sectional qualifieras a freshman

The addition of the Columbus wrestlers at last givesZschernitz the athletes he needs at the right weights

ldquoIf we didnrsquot have them the lightweights would behard to fill againrdquo the coach said

The addition of Columbus will push the Rocketprogram into Division 2 for the state tournament seriesbut Zschernitz doesnrsquot see that as an issue In fact movingout of D3 means the Rockets can avoid such usual smallschool powerhouses as Stratford and Edgar

Zschernitz expects his team can repeat as Cloverbeltdual meet champs and should be a top contender at theconference meet Last year the Rockets lost to Stanley-Boyd by only a few points partly because it had to forfeitat two weights

Not this year And not only does Zschernitz have a fullteam but he has a group thatrsquos as confident as can be afterthe Spencer-Columbus football team went all the way tothe state championship game Many of the athletes areon both teams

ldquoTop to bottom this is definitely the best team wersquovehadrdquo Zschernitz said ldquoWersquore fairly solid all the waythrough Wersquore hoping with the success of the footballco-op it carries over to wrestling Wrestling and footballgo hand-in-hand in my opinion I think the run in footballhelped just to show them they can get to that level if theywant to workrdquo

6 ndash Wednesday December 9 2015 WINTER SPORTS PREVIEW

Greenwood head boys basketball coach EricJohnsonrsquos entire starting five from last year put ona graduation robe in May and headed off to newadventures Left behind in the Greenwood program area few experienced varsity players a wealth of talentedunderclassmen and a question mark as to how fast thisyearrsquos team can develop

In Johnsonrsquos first year as head coach his senior-dominated squad posted a 7-9 record in the EasternCloverbelt Conference and a 10-13 overall mark Gonefrom the group are graduates Booker Bredlau and LoganJohnson who both received all-conference mention andfellow starters Dane Toburen Delten Schmitz and DylanNorth To say Johnson has a rebuilding job on his handsthis year may be just a bit of an understatement

he does have a pair of seniors back in Decker Lindnerand Sam Revier who saw considerable varsity time in2014-15 Joining them as starters will be juniors TrevorSerocki and Zach Zimbauer and sophomore DevinToburen Junior Walker Wuethrich will usually be thefirst guy off the bench with senior Aaron Lindner

junior Cole Lucas and sophomore Tyler Genteman alsofiguring into the rotationldquoWersquore inexperienced at the varsity levelrdquo Johnson

said ldquoThe kids are going to have to catch up to the gamespeed Irsquove got basketball talent out there Hopefully byChristmas time the kids will be caught up and we canbe competitive in every gamerdquo

Greenwood started the season with a non-conferenceloss to Abbotsford and ECC losses to Colby andNeillsville That result is to be expected at least for awhile as the players learn what it takes to compete atthe varsity pace

ldquoThey understand the offense and defense andwhat I want out of themrdquo Johnson said ldquoThe kidsall understand the offense really well Itrsquos just gettingthem up to game speed and you canrsquot simulate that inpracticerdquo

Serocki is showing solid skills at point guard andRevier and Decker Lindner should give the Indiansrebounding defense and inside scoring Toburen is a

versatile player who should develop as he gets varsityminutes

ldquoHe can score inside and outsiderdquo the coach saidldquoHe can handle the ball and rebound He gives me alittle of everythingrdquo

Greenwood will not be able to rely on a strongperimeter game as the young shooters are still tryingto find their range It could be a streaky season as aplayer or two gets hot then cools down

ldquoI donrsquot have a pure shooterrdquo Johnson said ldquoI haveguys who can stroke it but they can lose the stroke just as fastrdquo

Ball security is another area of concern The Indianshave averaged more turnovers than Johnson wants inthe teamrsquos first games Fouls have also been an issuebut that is partly due to officialsrsquo new emphasis onhand-checking and a switch to longer halves intend ofquarters

Johnson said he expects a balanced scoring attackat least until someone emerges as a consistent source

of pointsldquoNobody is really going to stand outrdquo he said ldquoI have

not found that guy yet I hope either Devin or Trevorwill develop into that guyrdquo

Johnson sees Marshfield Columbus as the best teamin the ECC this year with defending champion SpencerNeillsville Owen-Withee and Loyal all figuring to be inthe top half

ldquoHopefully we can fall in somewhere behind thatrdquohe said

Greenwood head basketball coach Carey Petrirsquosfirst year at the helm of the program was not the mostpleasant one with most of her starting and contributingplayers suspended for half the season and the juniorvarsity players called up to fill in One positive fromthat experience is that several young players got varsitytime -- albeit before they were ready -- and that shouldtranslate to a more mature team this season

Petrirsquos Indians are off to a 1-3 start this season as theytry to put last yearrsquos season in the rear-view mirror Theteam took a major blow before this season even startedwhen star senior Taylor Opelt injured her knee in anopen gym workout She was last yearrsquos leading scorerand would have been the centerpiece of Petrirsquos offensethis season

Petrirsquos main group of players this year includesseniors Ashley Walker Lexi Hinker and Renee Herdrich junior Kassidy Lamovec and sophomores Kelly Nielsenand Kaylee Learman Seniors Kaylee Meyer NatalieHackel and Kristyn Nigon are also getting considerableminutes early in the season

In addition to losing Opelt Petri also has to replacegraduates Morgan Hinker and Madison Lucas Thatleaves a huge scoring void to fill which Petri willattempt to cover by having the Indians play a slow tempostyle in which they wait patiently for good shots

ldquoWersquore trying to focus on playing our offense andplaying to our tempordquo she said ldquoWersquore trying to slowthings downrdquo

Several of the key players on this yearrsquos team wereforced into varsity action a year ago and that is payingdividends now

ldquoWith those freshmen who played it kind of got thenerves out of the way a little bitrdquo Petri said

With everyone more comfortable in their roles thisyearrsquos team is playing better as a group One of theIndiansrsquo strengths should be cohesion

ldquoI think this year our chemistry our working welltogether is a strengthrdquo Petri said ldquoWersquore coming closeras a teamrdquo

Shooting has been an issue early for the Indians The

team needs improvement from the perimeter the coachsaid as it has little height to set up plays to the post

ldquoThe shooting is getting betterrdquo Petri said ldquoWersquoreworking on itrdquo

The defense is also showing improvement withplayers adjusting to their responsibilities in the man-

Greenwood girls looking for improvement as season progresses

to-man schemeldquoItrsquos definitely better than last yearrdquo Petri said

ldquoWersquore getting to the spots faster We understand the

rotationsrdquoThe players are also aware of the need for better ball

handling One reason for slowing the tempo down is toavoid situations where opponents pressure the Indiansinto turnovers

ldquoOther teams are aggressive and we tend to panicrdquo

ldquoIrsquom pleased to see an increase in deerharvest numbers from last yearrdquo said BobNack DNR big game section chief ldquoHunt-ers experienced varying levels of successthroughout the state and had an enjoyabletime with family and friendsrdquo

In 2015 preliminary nine-day harvestnumbers were collected through the Ga-meReg system Hunters were required toregister their deer by 5 pm the day afterharvest as opposed to 5 pm the day afterthe nine-day season closed in years past

DNR customer service staff received

positive feedback from hunters through-out the nine-day season as they learned touse the new system Hunters who forgot toregister their deer are required to do soeven if beyond the 5 pm daily deadline

Deer Camp The best place on EarthHello friendsThis is a summary of the first five days of deer camp for The Red

Brush Gang We call a 36x18 foot pole barn home each Novemberwhich we put up on public land in The Meadow Valley Wildlife Area

By the last day of the season over 25 people will have slept in it

and let me tell ya folks we hunt hard and at night we have a lot of funSaturday Nov 21 -- high 35 low 22The majority of the gang came to camp on Thursday night and

with about a dozen of our members being in the 20-something agerange the evening is just a blast for us conservative ldquoold timersrdquo towatch

There were several wrestling matches and yours truly wouldobtain rib and head injuries with the rib injuries lasting the entirenine-day season The head wound was so ugly that I refused to lookat it the first six days I was in camp

Last night I cooked my meal for the season which was scallopedpotatoes and ham a hot dish made of rice and wild game and squashIn reality you have to have about 50 pounds of food to feed this gangOnce the meal is served you get to belly up to the table the rest of theseason and have someone else prepare your meals

On opening morning there was 18 of us spread out over about15-square miles

Twenty-seven year-old Ryan Moll thought he saw deer as nightwas becoming day and that was confirmed when it became lightenough Ryan had what he described was an ldquoincredibly easy shotrdquo

at a 9-point buck with an 18-inch spread Ryanrsquos trophy had a verybusted up rack and would eventually win the The Red Brush Gangrsquosbig buck contest

About three miles north Doug Cibulka and his 16-year-old sonDerek were hunting an area near the Sprague Mather Flowage Justlike last year Doug and Derek had an experience with a pack of wolvesand later in the day they relocated Doug Cibulka saw a six-pointergoing through the brush and made some venison

Back in the area of our camp Dick Schuster (who is in his mid60s) climbs way up a pine tree and sits all day missed an easy shot

on a six-pointer tried a desperation shot and put a bullet in itrsquos neckThese three guys would be ldquobuck brothersrdquo for the night As far

as the rest of the gang goes over half of us did not see a deerSelina and I hunted where we bow hunted and I believe that the

water levels rising over 10 inches in what was dry marshrsquos and thenfreezing into halfice pushed the deer out of our area In two daysof dark to dark hunting Selina and I would see one deer

Tonight as I have done for 44 consecutive years headed over toNecedah with the gang and ate a turkey dinner at St Francis of As-sisi Catholic Church

On Monday after a very lively Sunday night at camp we began adifferent method of hunting deer which is big drives that literallycover a square mile

Everyone wears hip boots and carries a compass All of us find

out what kind of physical condition we are or are not in and todaywe had pretty steady action and not such good success

None of the adults has a doe tag There are three kids that doThree bucks were kicked up and it sounds like one of them wouldhave won the big buck contest

That buck was shot at by two hunters on a dead run and they bothmissed The half ice that I was talking about is incredibly difficult totravel through The marsh grass grabs your legs above the ice andyou have to break ice to make the next step forward

On Monday night it was down to Ross Moll his dad Jeff Moll (40consecutive years) Doug Cibulka Selina and myself

We ate a great meal Jeff would not let Doug and I go to bed andthe next day we hunted hard and that night we had visitors that keptus up late once again

Every Red Brush Hunter is addicted to this place Sunset

If I was the president Id attack em right now MaybePresident Obama promised last week in a rare

address to the nation that he plans to destroyISIL Whether that means destroying the radicalIslamist group as in wiping them off the ace othe earth in a mighty military massacre or justblocking their Net1047298ix signal so they cant watchBreaking Bad episodes during recess romglobal jihad we cant be sure I mean and I hateto say it the President could not have been muchless impressive in his speech i he had only vowedto not let ull-1047298edged ISIL militants accumulaterequent-1047298yer points while on suicide missionsYeah that woulda taught em a lesson

o be completely truthul -- or truthullycomplete I suppose -- I will tell you that I didnot watch the President deliver his speech onSunday night because 1 Tere was ootball oninstead 2) I orgot about it and 3) I knew hisstatements would be as bland as chicken soup

without the chicken celery carrots bullioncubes salt pepper noodles and paprika 1047298akesTats right about as spicy as water Yeah youdarn right I went there

In his speech the text o which I did readObama said we will hunt down terrorists in anycountry where it is necessary to which VladimirPutin said Oh really o show he has supportor his policies Obama said US allies such asFrance and Britain have ramped up their contri -butions to our military campaign which makesit sound like they are now collecting gently usedwinter coats or our advisors to wear in theSyrian desert Obama also said we are workingwith riends to disrupt ISIL which is aboutthe same verbiage I remember using in juniorhigh when me and some other hooligans tied1047297shing line to the history teachers chair leg and

his bookcase so the case ell on the 1047298oor whenhe went to sit down Yeah we disrupted himall right and had all sorts o time to talk about it

over the next 10 noon hours in the principals offi ce

alk about your post-battle brie1047297ngsIn a speech that lasted about as long as an

average waterboarding session -- but made youeel more like you were being tortured -- Obamareerred directly by name to ISIL 14 times which isbetter ree advertising than having Jennier Lopezwear your companys V-neck -shirt at the SuperBowl halfime show And about that -- why doesObama insist on calling the group ISIL when ev-eryone else on the planet calls it ISIS Is it a speechimpediment thing Is he trying to convince us thathe knows more than we do just because he uses adifferent name Or -- and this is a scary thought-- maybe hes planning to destroy the IndianaShelter or Illiterate Lawyers and weve all just beenmisunderstanding I mean yeah lawyers shouldknow how to read I get it but utter destructionseems a bit harsh

I also thought it was interesting -- no make thatprooundly disturbing -- that the President startedone o his sentences with My ellow Americans asi invoking a Richard Nixon image would somehowreassure the nation that everything possible is beingdone to combat a threatening and dangerous en-emy Because as we all remember -- at least those ous who were born beore the country realized thatBob Dylan really cant sing -- Nixon implementeda strategy known as Vietnamization in whichAmerican advisors were supposed to teach SouthVietnamese people who knew less about moderncombat techniques than Hagar the Horrible howto deeat a determined North Vietnamese orcewith sticks and some paper lea1047298ets dropped outo a helicopter In an inamous policy that datesback arther than the start o that last sentence itailed more miserably than Mason Crosbys game-

winning 1047297eld goal try against Detroit last monthWow Military history and proessional ootball

in one vaguely effective metaphor And they said

it couldnt be doneWhat cant be done at least in my opinion and

that o all the hawkish members o the right-wingCongressional caucus is deeat ISIS with the cur-rent strategy o drone strikes random bombingSpecial Forces operations (whatever the heck that

entails) and hoping that the terrorists run out osuicide bombers beore the Middle East runs outo mosques public markets schools and hotelsthat can be blown up Instead o direct aggressiveand massive-i-necessary military interventionwere relying on such tactics as passive economicsanctions against Yemeni government offi cials whomay be selling cotton to ISIS to make comortableand loose-1047297tting underwear or militant 1047297ghtersor requiring that SA offi cials at airports aroundthe country now politely ask Arab women i theresany possible chance that they might now be orhave ever considered carrying out global jihadwhile posing as a Pakistani woman studying to bea home ec teacher

I will say or the record that I have generallysupported President Obama in his seven years inthe White House his Chicago Bears support asideHowever on this issue I believe he has shownless leadership than a vegan at a pork producersconvention When this country most needs a com-

mander-in-chie whos willing to use the

Loyal head boys basketball coach Rob Love has been

making it a point in practices to have his players look upat the individual school sports banners on the wall andto have them notice that ldquo1968rdquo is the last number on theboys basketball programrsquos conference championship list

ldquoI keep pointing it out and saying lsquoThat number canrsquotsurviversquordquo Love said ldquoWersquove got to put another numberup thererdquo

The Greyhounds are off to a 1-1 start in their questto become the first conference champs in the sport in48 years They beat Granton on Dec 4 after losing topreseason favorite Marshfield Columbus and Love saidthis yearrsquos team is ldquostrides aheadrdquo of the 2014-15 versionthat ended up with an 8-8 mark and fifth-place finish in theEastern Cloverbelt Love has some starting experienceback in his lineup and several talented underclassmenwho will see significant playing time and the team shouldimprove as the youngsters learn the speed of the varsitygame

Love has to replace graduates Ryley Fischer LoganGenteman and Tyler Prust who all were significant

contributors a year ago Back in his starting lineup are junior guard Riley Geiger and 6rsquo4rdquo swingman CameronBrussow who give the Greyhounds a potent 1-2 scoringpunch both from the perimeter and the lane SeniorDerrick Howard also returns to the front line to battlefor rebounds and points and seniors Ben Zimmermanand Marcus Genteman will share one starting spotdepending on a given nightrsquos opponent Sophomore LukeBogdonovich is the other starting guard

Underclassmen who will play important minutesinclude sophomores Waylon Froeba Elliot Genteman andJordan Radue and freshman Quinn Brussow Theyrsquoll alsoplay with the junior varsity team but Love will need themfor varsity minutes for depth Senior Josh Zupanc out forthe sport for the first time will get some minutes as well

In Geiger and Cameron Brussow Loyal has a pair ofplayers who can easily post 20-point nights Geiger the2015 WIAA Division 5 state tournament 3-point shootingchampion is even more accurate from behind the arcthan last year Love said

ldquoThe pleasant surprise has been Riley Geigerrsquosperimeter gamerdquo Love said of the early seasondevelopments ldquoHersquos as good as Irsquove seen him Riley hasnrsquotmissed a beat I didnrsquot think hersquod get better but he hasrdquo

Brussow can also bury shots from 3-point range butdefenders had best be careful so he doesnrsquot drive pastthem A tall player with ball-handling skills Brussowcan score from anywhere

ldquoHe doesnrsquot have to play post because he can handlethe ballrdquo Love said ldquoCameron is a kid who can create hisown shot and thatrsquos a unique thing He has pretty highaspirations this yearrdquo

Bogdonovich who was ineligible to play last year aftertransferring to Loyal will bring the Greyhounds a much-needed third scoring option

ldquoWhen our two scoring leaders get things going weexpect defenses to adjust to guard Cameron and RileyrdquoLove said ldquoLuke has a great opportunity to expose thoseadjustments Hersquos got a real high basketball IQ Hersquos calmHe doesnrsquot get rattled His fundamental skills are reallyreally strongrdquo

Love does have some concerns about depth With new

WIAA rule changes for two 18-minutes halves insteadof four 8-minute quarters plus more emphasis on hand-checking players could get in foul trouble

ldquoFouls are my biggest concernrdquo the coach said ldquoIf ourtop three or four get in foul trouble we have guys whocan play but not play the same wayrdquo

That situation should ease some as the seasonprogresses and the younger players gain experience

Also Love said ldquoWersquove had to change the way we playdefense because of the way theyrsquore calling foulsrdquo Loyalwill back away from its aggressive full-court pressureand settle back more to conserve fouls

Even though he has a group of players with good skillsLove said he is still preaching the necessity of taking careof the basketball when the team is on offense

ldquoBall security is priority one two and threerdquo he saidldquoWe have to secure the ball more We have to understandthe value of every possessionrdquo

A pair of intangibles the Greyhounds will use as theytry to match up with the conference favorites are a highbasketball IQ and leadership Love said this group knowsthe game and can benefit from that

ldquoSome of the boys think basketball It makes sense tothemrdquo Love said

Geiger and Cameron Brussow will provide theleadership both in scoring and as floor captains

ldquoOur floor leaders were sophomores last year andtheyrsquore more experienced this yearrdquo Love said ldquoWersquorein good shape Wersquore strides ahead of where we werelast yearrdquo

Love sees Columbus and defending champion Spenceras the teams to beat in the ECC this year Neillsville andLoyal should be also be near the top of the pile when thedust settles with a key for the Greyhounds being ableto keep their leaders injury-free and out of foul trouble

ldquoWersquove got to keep some of our kids on the floorrdquoLove said

Greyhound boys look to make their mark in competitive ECC

T h e L o y a l g i r l sbasketball team came

so close last season todefeating annual nemesisW i s c o n s i n R a p i d sAssumption in a WIAADivision 5 sectional semi-final game Will this bethe year the Greyhoundsfinally get over theAssumption hump to takea big step toward the statetournament

It rsquo s very early int h e s e a s o n b u t t h eGreyhounds proved theyare to be taken seriouslythis season by pushingAssumption to the wireagain in a Thanksgivingweekend tournament Alast-second shot that justmissed would have liftedLoyal over the Royals inthat one but the game atleast showed area teamsthat Loyal is a legitimatecontender again thiswinter To take the nextstep Loyal has to developits bench said head coachMike Rueth and playthrough a brutal non-conference schedule thatincludes the early season1 and 2 ranked Division5 teams in the state

Loyal finished 22-4overall last year and wonits first Eastern CloverbeltConference championship

The stellar season endedwith a 56-52 sectional lossto Assumption a gamein which the Greyhoundsovercame a double digit deficit in the second half toalmost steal a win That team included now-departedseniors Missy Benz Jaelynn Young and Katie Hoeserthree players who will all be difficult to replace Havingnew reserves step in will be a key to Loyalrsquos 2015-16season Rueth said

Loyalrsquos starting five is as strong as ever Senior pointguard Devyn Schoonover and junior front-line playersMorgan Reinwand and Karsyn Rueth are all back intheir starting roles with a summer of competitive AAUbasketball behind them

ldquoYou can see the time that those kids put inrdquo coachRueth said

Moving into the starting lineup this year are seniorsJaedyn Pieper and Ryleigh Wilke two players who werea part of the main rotation last year They have plenty

of experience the coach said and have already proventhemselves as capable starters in early games this year

ldquoThey passed the test on the first nightrdquo Rueth saidldquoRight now our starting five really gets itrdquo

Repeat ECC title and more are on Loyal girls teamrsquos list of goals

The 2015-16 Loyal girls basketball team (front from left) Jaedyn Pieper Morgan Reinwand Devyn Schoonover

Amanda Zettler Alexis Dietsche (back) Hailey Rueth Bailey Parker Karsyn Rueth Ryleigh Wilke and BryannaRayhorn

Players who Rueth is counting on to step in withvaluable contributions will include senior post playerBailey Parker who played on the varsity last year andknows the system well and freshman Hailey Rueth ayet-unproven player who will be counted on to play alow-post spot and contribute on defense and rebounding

ldquoShe has all the ability in the worldrdquo Rueth said ldquoWersquollwant her to be an offensive and defensive rebounder anda defensive specialist for us What she could do for us isall the little thingsrdquo

Others who will see varsity time include seniorAmanda Zettler junior Alexis Dietsche and sophomoreBryanna Rayhorn Their development and contributionswill be important because games are longer now with therule change to halves intend of quarters and an increasedemphasis on preventing contact on the court

They have to fill a rolerdquo Rueth said of his reservesldquoBecause of the way things are being called with thenew rules you have to have a bench Theyrsquore just callingeverything so tight nowrdquo

Having an experiencedstarting team at the

beginning of the seasonis a definite advantageRueth said because hedidnrsquot have to start withbasics However it willtake some time for thereserve players to catchup and being patient untilthey do will be important

ldquoWhen you start yourfirst practice yoursquore goingat full speed right fromthe beginningrdquo Ruethsaid ldquoThatrsquos where ourreserves are a little bitbehind Our starting five isquality We just donrsquot havethe bench we had last yearbut I think we can Wersquoregoing to get them thererdquo

Rueth believes thisyearrsquos team again has thetalent to win a conferencechampionship and somegoals are in sight beyondthat Loyal has alreadybeaten perennial ECCpower Neillsville andexpects competition fromOwen-Withee and Spencerdown the road

ldquoTherersquos no doubt wecould repeat as conferencechamps but things have togo our wayrdquo the coach saidldquoTheir (players) goals areto set on being conferencechampions againrdquo

The players also want to

win the conference cross-ver title game this yearLast winter they werebeaten by a Fall Creek

team that advanced to the state tournamentTo get his Greyhounds prepared for the inevitable

tough competition in the WIAA post-season playoffsRueth put together a difficult non-conference schedulethat includes the Assumption tournament a non-conference game against a strong Elk Mound team anda January Saturday road trip to take on Barneveld thedefending D5 state champ that is again ranked 1 Ruethis hoping that schedule will help it improve enough toget past the playoff roadblock it has encountered thepast few seasons

ldquoWersquore hoping that our non-conference schedule isgoing to get us over the humprdquo the coach said

To repeat Spencer needs young players to develop quicklyThe 2014-15 Spencer

boys basketball teamthat won the EasternCloverbelt Conferencetitle with a 14-2 leaguerecord was a mature onewith several players whohad been varsity startersfor two or even threeyears The 2015-16 teamthat will try to repeat asconference champs is notas experienced and maytake some time to developbefore itrsquos ready to play itsbest ball

The start of Spencerrsquosseason has been delayedby the football teamrsquos runto the state title gameThe Rockets postponed

their first two scheduledgames and were to openthe season with a Dec8 non-conference gameagainst Edgar Once theschedule begins coachRandy Recknerrsquos squadwill be faced with thetask of getting somenewcomers up to speedto complement a startingline-up that still includessome varsity veterans

Spencer has 2014-15 ECC player of the year Bobby Pilzback for one more season and he again will be reliedupon for his scoring abilities With starters Miles WeberNate Mercier and Mitchell Susa all gone via graduationPilzrsquo points will be even more critical this year asReckner looks for ways to bolster the teamrsquos offensivepunch Itrsquos not helping any that projected starting guard

Noah Zastrow and post player Dakota Andreae are bothlost for significant time with football-related injurieswhich seriously crimps the Rocketsrsquo depth

Joining Pilz on the starting squad will be Ryan Bussea senior who will be starting for the third-straight year

seniors Calvin Lenz and Jonny Tomke and sophomoreAaron Pankratz Lenz though not a starter in the pastplayed a crucial role on last yearrsquos team and is a versatilescorer who can defend Tomke is athletic and ldquocan helpus in a lot of waysrdquo Reckner said

Those players are proven at the varsity level whilePankratz will get his first taste of it this season Hersquoll be

the teamrsquos starting point guard and his skills as a ballhandler will be tested

ldquoWersquore asking a lot of himrdquo Reckner said ldquoHersquos avery smart kidrdquo

Others who will play in the main rotation will include

sophomores Jack Bezlyk and Jacob Miller Both of them

were important parts of a successful junior varsityteam a year ago and will be called upon to step up thenext level

Bezlyk should add some offenseldquoI think hersquos going to surprise a lot of people with

his scoring abilityrdquo Reckner said ldquoHersquos pretty athleticrdquoMiller is a post player with natural rebounding

instinctsldquoHersquos got the knack of finding the ballrdquo the coach

saidFinding new sources of of fense will be a key for the

Rockets as Susa and Mercier both averaged in doublefigures last year

ldquoWersquove got to replace a lot of scoringrdquo Reckner saidand Pilz is the most likely source

ldquoWersquore going to have to depend on him a lotrdquo Recknersaid with Busse and Lenz also being asked to pick uptheir offensive contributions

Adding to the challenge of repeating as conferencechamps is the relative youth of this team Reckner

has been spoiled in recent years with a plentitude ofexperience but thatrsquos not the case this winter

ldquoI had 2- and 3-year starters last year This year wersquorea little more inexperiencedrdquo Reckner said ldquoTherersquos a lotof teaching going on with the younger guysrdquo

Depth could be a problem for Spencer especially earlyin the season while the sophomores are growing intotheir new roles With Zastrow probably not likely to playuntil late in the season and Andreae out for probably amonth Spencer will have to rely on young players tolearn quickly

ldquoOur depth could be an issuerdquo the coach said ldquoWeprobably would be 9-deep with those two Now wersquoreprobably seven or eight just because of our inexperienceOur conference is going to be really good Hopefully they(younger players) can learn on the flyrdquo

Marshfield Columbus is looking like Spencerrsquos mainchallenge to a repeat ECC title with Neillsville andOwen-Withee also looking strong Reckner said ForSpencer to be atop the standings again at seasonrsquos end

a lot has to fall into placeldquoWe need to be consistent we need to gel as a teamrdquo

Reckner said ldquoWe need to grow up fast In any year tobe a conference champ yoursquove got to catch some breaksrdquo

Rockets girls team off to solid start more growth expected

The 2015-16 Spencer girls basketball team (front from left) Kallie Reckner Macie WeberSydney Kind Nadia King (back) Sabrina Vircks Sadie Mercier Katie Fleischman Lexi

Baehr Jessica Becker Courtney Buss and Liz Endreas

Just a few games into the 2015-16 season Spencer headgirls basketball coach Brian Abel has seen significantimprovement over last year in the way his team isperforming The Rockets are getting mentioned by othercoaches in the Eastern Cloverbelt Conference as a teamto watch out for as Spencer blends decent height and agood outside game into an improving program

Abelrsquos teams went 6-17 two years ago and 6-16 lastyear but this yearrsquos group is off to a 2-1 start with ECCwins over Colby and Marshfield Columbus Those areteams that swept the Rockets last season so Abel has agood sense that things are improving in his programThe players are familiar now with Abelrsquos coaching styleand terminolog y he said and can focus more on playingbasketball

This yearrsquos starting squad is an interesting mix ofinside-outside skills Senior Nadia King returns at thepoint while sophomore guard Lexi Baehr is in her secondvarsity year with perimeter shooting prowess JuniorCourtney Buss mans another spot while seniors Macie

Weber and Sydney Kindgive the Rockets a stronginside presence

Kallie Reckner andLiz Endreas may also getsome starts and will be inthe main rotation KatieFleischmann and JessicaBecker will also get someminutes while SabrinaVircks and Sadie Mercierwill split varsityjuniorvarsity time at least in theearly part of the season

Abel has to find ways toreplace the contributionsof Abby Varsho MelissaLehman and KaitlynWalter who all graduatedHe still has plenty ofreturning players to turnto though and that hashelped in the early season

ldquoTherersquos a lot lessteaching this year becausewersquove got a lot comingbackrdquo Abel said ldquoYou cansee it with our fast startrdquo

Spencer will continue

to run a motion offenselooking for the openperimeter shot or dumpingthe ball inside to Weber or Kind if they have a favorablematchup on the post If the shooters are on the systemworks well

ldquoIt keeps that inside-outside game working Itrsquos a goodbalance so farrdquo Abel said

Defensively the Rockets prefer to fall into a half-court2-3 zone but will come out to play man-to-man at timesThe Rockets want to prevent easy fast-break points andtry to get back in defensive positions

ldquoWe donrsquot want teams to run on usrdquo Abel said ldquoWersquore

very good at getting up and down the court I feel thisteam is very versatile in what we can dordquo

Depth-wise Abel says he has enough quality playersto substitute as needed

ldquoWe have decent depth Itrsquos not shallow by any meansrdquohe said ldquoWe can go eight or nine deep and be alrightrdquo

One thing Abel is looking for is steady improvementThe year is off to a good start but he wants to maintainthe development as the season progresses

ldquoItrsquos definitely been an improvement from the yearbeforerdquo he said of the teamrsquos early season ldquoI think thegirls just have another year under the system Itrsquos thatcontinual growthrdquo

One goal for Abel this season is to sweep conference

teams that Spencer split its two games with last yearand at least split with those who beat Spencer twiceThatrsquos already happened with the wins over Colby andColumbus

Abel sees Loyal Neillsville and Owen-Withee asthe usual conference favorites Spencer may not be tothe level of those programs yet he said but continuedimprovement will narrow the gap If attitude meansanything his team will be competitive

ldquoThey put the time in They donrsquot want to loserdquo Abelsaid of his players

Spencer-Columbus wrestlers looking for big results this yearTwo seasons ago Spencer head wrestling coach Jake

Zschernitz had no one to fill his lightweight positionsLast year he had the lightweights but then not theheavyweights Finally this season with the resumptionof a co-op program with Marshfield ColumbusZschernitz has everybody he needs and the Rockets lookto be strong

With three wrestlers returning this season afterqualifying for the state meet a year ago -- plus the additionof Columbus athletes and a few underclassmen -- theRockets look to be headed for a strong 2015-16 campaignThey wonrsquot have to overcome the forfeit points theyallowed in the last two seasons and that has Zschernitzthinking the Rockets can repeat as Cloverbelt Conferencedual meet champions and also take the conferencetournament

Spencer-Columbus will be solid at several weightsReturning are 2015 state qualifiers sophomore BryceShaw at 126 pounds senior Tim Bauer at 138 andsophomore Hunter Luepke at 195 Seniors HunterHildebrandt (170) Austin Post (132) and Nate Neumann

(160) also return to the varsity lineupColumbus freshmen Jake Dick (106) and Zach Wheeler-Savoy (113) will take over the lightweight spots whilesophomore Dominick Wichlacz will be at 120 SophomoreJeremiah Giles is slotted in at 145 and freshman CarsonHildebrandt will be at 152 Senior Jake Hainzlsperger willman the 182-pound class senior Elijah Welsh and juniorMax Johnson will contend at 220 and freshman LoganZschernitz and senior Ryan Schauer are the heavyweightchallengers

Shaw placed sixth at state last year the highest finishever for a Spencer freshman Bauer worked hard overthe summer to get even better than his state-qualifyingform of a year ago and Luepke is back as a defendingconference champion and state qualifier HunterHildebrandt and Neumann are also 2015 conferencetournament champions

ldquoThat whole group is going to be a big part of oursuccessrdquo Zschernitz said

Newcomers expected to help include Carson

Hildebrandt and Logan Zschernitz who both haveconsiderable youth wrestling experience Welsh couldbe an interesting wrestler to watch and is someonewho the coach describes as ldquoa naturalrdquo but hasnrsquot beenable to compete at the varsity level because Columbusdidnrsquot have a program Austin Post will bring his footballathleticism to the mat as well and Johnson -- who did notgo out for wrestling last year -- was a sectional qualifieras a freshman

The addition of the Columbus wrestlers at last givesZschernitz the athletes he needs at the right weights

ldquoIf we didnrsquot have them the lightweights would behard to fill againrdquo the coach said

The addition of Columbus will push the Rocketprogram into Division 2 for the state tournament seriesbut Zschernitz doesnrsquot see that as an issue In fact movingout of D3 means the Rockets can avoid such usual smallschool powerhouses as Stratford and Edgar

Zschernitz expects his team can repeat as Cloverbeltdual meet champs and should be a top contender at theconference meet Last year the Rockets lost to Stanley-Boyd by only a few points partly because it had to forfeitat two weights

Not this year And not only does Zschernitz have a fullteam but he has a group thatrsquos as confident as can be afterthe Spencer-Columbus football team went all the way tothe state championship game Many of the athletes areon both teams

ldquoTop to bottom this is definitely the best team wersquovehadrdquo Zschernitz said ldquoWersquore fairly solid all the waythrough Wersquore hoping with the success of the footballco-op it carries over to wrestling Wrestling and footballgo hand-in-hand in my opinion I think the run in footballhelped just to show them they can get to that level if theywant to workrdquo

Greenwood head boys basketball coach EricJohnsonrsquos entire starting five from last year put ona graduation robe in May and headed off to newadventures Left behind in the Greenwood program area few experienced varsity players a wealth of talentedunderclassmen and a question mark as to how fast thisyearrsquos team can develop

In Johnsonrsquos first year as head coach his senior-dominated squad posted a 7-9 record in the EasternCloverbelt Conference and a 10-13 overall mark Gonefrom the group are graduates Booker Bredlau and LoganJohnson who both received all-conference mention andfellow starters Dane Toburen Delten Schmitz and DylanNorth To say Johnson has a rebuilding job on his handsthis year may be just a bit of an understatement

he does have a pair of seniors back in Decker Lindnerand Sam Revier who saw considerable varsity time in2014-15 Joining them as starters will be juniors TrevorSerocki and Zach Zimbauer and sophomore DevinToburen Junior Walker Wuethrich will usually be thefirst guy off the bench with senior Aaron Lindner

junior Cole Lucas and sophomore Tyler Genteman alsofiguring into the rotationldquoWersquore inexperienced at the varsity levelrdquo Johnson

said ldquoThe kids are going to have to catch up to the gamespeed Irsquove got basketball talent out there Hopefully byChristmas time the kids will be caught up and we canbe competitive in every gamerdquo

Greenwood started the season with a non-conferenceloss to Abbotsford and ECC losses to Colby andNeillsville That result is to be expected at least for awhile as the players learn what it takes to compete atthe varsity pace

ldquoThey understand the offense and defense andwhat I want out of themrdquo Johnson said ldquoThe kidsall understand the offense really well Itrsquos just gettingthem up to game speed and you canrsquot simulate that inpracticerdquo

Serocki is showing solid skills at point guard andRevier and Decker Lindner should give the Indiansrebounding defense and inside scoring Toburen is a

versatile player who should develop as he gets varsityminutes

ldquoHe can score inside and outsiderdquo the coach saidldquoHe can handle the ball and rebound He gives me alittle of everythingrdquo

Greenwood will not be able to rely on a strongperimeter game as the young shooters are still tryingto find their range It could be a streaky season as aplayer or two gets hot then cools down

ldquoI donrsquot have a pure shooterrdquo Johnson said ldquoI haveguys who can stroke it but they can lose the stroke just as fastrdquo

Ball security is another area of concern The Indianshave averaged more turnovers than Johnson wants inthe teamrsquos first games Fouls have also been an issuebut that is partly due to officialsrsquo new emphasis onhand-checking and a switch to longer halves intend ofquarters

Johnson said he expects a balanced scoring attackat least until someone emerges as a consistent source

of pointsldquoNobody is really going to stand outrdquo he said ldquoI have

not found that guy yet I hope either Devin or Trevorwill develop into that guyrdquo

Johnson sees Marshfield Columbus as the best teamin the ECC this year with defending champion SpencerNeillsville Owen-Withee and Loyal all figuring to be inthe top half

ldquoHopefully we can fall in somewhere behind thatrdquohe said

Greenwood head basketball coach Carey Petrirsquosfirst year at the helm of the program was not the mostpleasant one with most of her starting and contributingplayers suspended for half the season and the juniorvarsity players called up to fill in One positive fromthat experience is that several young players got varsitytime -- albeit before they were ready -- and that shouldtranslate to a more mature team this season

Petrirsquos Indians are off to a 1-3 start this season as theytry to put last yearrsquos season in the rear-view mirror Theteam took a major blow before this season even startedwhen star senior Taylor Opelt injured her knee in anopen gym workout She was last yearrsquos leading scorerand would have been the centerpiece of Petrirsquos offensethis season

Petrirsquos main group of players this year includesseniors Ashley Walker Lexi Hinker and Renee Herdrich junior Kassidy Lamovec and sophomores Kelly Nielsenand Kaylee Learman Seniors Kaylee Meyer NatalieHackel and Kristyn Nigon are also getting considerableminutes early in the season

In addition to losing Opelt Petri also has to replacegraduates Morgan Hinker and Madison Lucas Thatleaves a huge scoring void to fill which Petri willattempt to cover by having the Indians play a slow tempostyle in which they wait patiently for good shots

ldquoWersquore trying to focus on playing our offense andplaying to our tempordquo she said ldquoWersquore trying to slowthings downrdquo

Several of the key players on this yearrsquos team wereforced into varsity action a year ago and that is payingdividends now

ldquoWith those freshmen who played it kind of got thenerves out of the way a little bitrdquo Petri said

With everyone more comfortable in their roles thisyearrsquos team is playing better as a group One of theIndiansrsquo strengths should be cohesion

ldquoI think this year our chemistry our working welltogether is a strengthrdquo Petri said ldquoWersquore coming closeras a teamrdquo

Shooting has been an issue early for the Indians The

team needs improvement from the perimeter the coachsaid as it has little height to set up plays to the post

ldquoThe shooting is getting betterrdquo Petri said ldquoWersquoreworking on itrdquo

The defense is also showing improvement withplayers adjusting to their responsibilities in the man-

Greenwood girls looking for improvement as season progresses

to-man schemeldquoItrsquos definitely better than last yearrdquo Petri said

ldquoWersquore getting to the spots faster We understand the

rotationsrdquoThe players are also aware of the need for better ball

handling One reason for slowing the tempo down is toavoid situations where opponents pressure the Indiansinto turnovers

ldquoOther teams are aggressive and we tend to panicrdquo

Petri saidThe goals for this yearrsquos teams are modest with an

emphasis on improvement Petri said she wants her

team to develop its skills and get better each time outand the wins will come

ldquoIn time we can come together and play our offenserdquoshe said ldquoObviously I want to have a better team thanlast year Winning half our games would be our ultimategoal right nowrdquo

This yearrsquos preliminary nine-day gundeer hunt registration figures indicate atotal of 204725 deer harvested during thenine-day season compared to 199583 in2014 Since this is the first year using theGameReg system department staff areverifying this preliminary data to makesure it is correct It is possible that this

number may change slightly followingadditional evaluation

ldquoIrsquom pleased to see an increase in deerharvest numbers from last yearrdquo said BobNack DNR big game section chief ldquoHunt-ers experienced varying levels of successthroughout the state and had an enjoyabletime with family and friendsrdquo

In 2015 preliminary nine-day harvestnumbers were collected through the Ga-meReg system Hunters were required toregister their deer by 5 pm the day afterharvest as opposed to 5 pm the day afterthe nine-day season closed in years past

DNR customer service staff received

positive feedback from hunters through-out the nine-day season as they learned touse the new system Hunters who forgot toregister their deer are required to do soeven if beyond the 5 pm daily deadline

This year 612377 gun deer licenseswere sold through the end of the nine-day gun deer season compared to 608711in 2014 In total 849778 gun archeryand crossbow licenses (not including up-grades) licenses have been sold throughthe end of the nine-day gun deer seasoncompared to 835583 (not including up-grades) in 2014

Deer Camp The best place on EarthHello friendsThis is a summary of the first five days of deer camp for The Red

Brush Gang We call a 36x18 foot pole barn home each Novemberwhich we put up on public land in The Meadow Valley Wildlife Area

By the last day of the season over 25 people will have slept in it

and let me tell ya folks we hunt hard and at night we have a lot of funSaturday Nov 21 -- high 35 low 22The majority of the gang came to camp on Thursday night and

with about a dozen of our members being in the 20-something agerange the evening is just a blast for us conservative ldquoold timersrdquo towatch

There were several wrestling matches and yours truly wouldobtain rib and head injuries with the rib injuries lasting the entirenine-day season The head wound was so ugly that I refused to lookat it the first six days I was in camp

Last night I cooked my meal for the season which was scallopedpotatoes and ham a hot dish made of rice and wild game and squashIn reality you have to have about 50 pounds of food to feed this gangOnce the meal is served you get to belly up to the table the rest of theseason and have someone else prepare your meals

On opening morning there was 18 of us spread out over about15-square miles

Twenty-seven year-old Ryan Moll thought he saw deer as nightwas becoming day and that was confirmed when it became lightenough Ryan had what he described was an ldquoincredibly easy shotrdquo

at a 9-point buck with an 18-inch spread Ryanrsquos trophy had a verybusted up rack and would eventually win the The Red Brush Gangrsquosbig buck contest

About three miles north Doug Cibulka and his 16-year-old sonDerek were hunting an area near the Sprague Mather Flowage Justlike last year Doug and Derek had an experience with a pack of wolvesand later in the day they relocated Doug Cibulka saw a six-pointergoing through the brush and made some venison

Back in the area of our camp Dick Schuster (who is in his mid60s) climbs way up a pine tree and sits all day missed an easy shot

on a six-pointer tried a desperation shot and put a bullet in itrsquos neckThese three guys would be ldquobuck brothersrdquo for the night As far

as the rest of the gang goes over half of us did not see a deerSelina and I hunted where we bow hunted and I believe that the

water levels rising over 10 inches in what was dry marshrsquos and thenfreezing into halfice pushed the deer out of our area In two daysof dark to dark hunting Selina and I would see one deer

Tonight as I have done for 44 consecutive years headed over toNecedah with the gang and ate a turkey dinner at St Francis of As-sisi Catholic Church

On Monday after a very lively Sunday night at camp we began adifferent method of hunting deer which is big drives that literallycover a square mile

Everyone wears hip boots and carries a compass All of us find

out what kind of physical condition we are or are not in and todaywe had pretty steady action and not such good success

None of the adults has a doe tag There are three kids that doThree bucks were kicked up and it sounds like one of them wouldhave won the big buck contest

That buck was shot at by two hunters on a dead run and they bothmissed The half ice that I was talking about is incredibly difficult totravel through The marsh grass grabs your legs above the ice andyou have to break ice to make the next step forward

On Monday night it was down to Ross Moll his dad Jeff Moll (40consecutive years) Doug Cibulka Selina and myself

We ate a great meal Jeff would not let Doug and I go to bed andthe next day we hunted hard and that night we had visitors that keptus up late once again

Every Red Brush Hunter is addicted to this place Sunset

If I was the president Id attack em right now MaybePresident Obama promised last week in a rare

address to the nation that he plans to destroyISIL Whether that means destroying the radicalIslamist group as in wiping them off the ace othe earth in a mighty military massacre or justblocking their Net1047298ix signal so they cant watchBreaking Bad episodes during recess romglobal jihad we cant be sure I mean and I hateto say it the President could not have been muchless impressive in his speech i he had only vowedto not let ull-1047298edged ISIL militants accumulaterequent-1047298yer points while on suicide missionsYeah that woulda taught em a lesson

o be completely truthul -- or truthullycomplete I suppose -- I will tell you that I didnot watch the President deliver his speech onSunday night because 1 Tere was ootball oninstead 2) I orgot about it and 3) I knew hisstatements would be as bland as chicken soup

without the chicken celery carrots bullioncubes salt pepper noodles and paprika 1047298akesTats right about as spicy as water Yeah youdarn right I went there

In his speech the text o which I did readObama said we will hunt down terrorists in anycountry where it is necessary to which VladimirPutin said Oh really o show he has supportor his policies Obama said US allies such asFrance and Britain have ramped up their contri -butions to our military campaign which makesit sound like they are now collecting gently usedwinter coats or our advisors to wear in theSyrian desert Obama also said we are workingwith riends to disrupt ISIL which is aboutthe same verbiage I remember using in juniorhigh when me and some other hooligans tied1047297shing line to the history teachers chair leg and

his bookcase so the case ell on the 1047298oor whenhe went to sit down Yeah we disrupted himall right and had all sorts o time to talk about it

over the next 10 noon hours in the principals offi ce

alk about your post-battle brie1047297ngsIn a speech that lasted about as long as an

average waterboarding session -- but made youeel more like you were being tortured -- Obamareerred directly by name to ISIL 14 times which isbetter ree advertising than having Jennier Lopezwear your companys V-neck -shirt at the SuperBowl halfime show And about that -- why doesObama insist on calling the group ISIL when ev-eryone else on the planet calls it ISIS Is it a speechimpediment thing Is he trying to convince us thathe knows more than we do just because he uses adifferent name Or -- and this is a scary thought-- maybe hes planning to destroy the IndianaShelter or Illiterate Lawyers and weve all just beenmisunderstanding I mean yeah lawyers shouldknow how to read I get it but utter destructionseems a bit harsh

I also thought it was interesting -- no make thatprooundly disturbing -- that the President startedone o his sentences with My ellow Americans asi invoking a Richard Nixon image would somehowreassure the nation that everything possible is beingdone to combat a threatening and dangerous en-emy Because as we all remember -- at least those ous who were born beore the country realized thatBob Dylan really cant sing -- Nixon implementeda strategy known as Vietnamization in whichAmerican advisors were supposed to teach SouthVietnamese people who knew less about moderncombat techniques than Hagar the Horrible howto deeat a determined North Vietnamese orcewith sticks and some paper lea1047298ets dropped outo a helicopter In an inamous policy that datesback arther than the start o that last sentence itailed more miserably than Mason Crosbys game-

winning 1047297eld goal try against Detroit last monthWow Military history and proessional ootball

in one vaguely effective metaphor And they said

it couldnt be doneWhat cant be done at least in my opinion and

that o all the hawkish members o the right-wingCongressional caucus is deeat ISIS with the cur-rent strategy o drone strikes random bombingSpecial Forces operations (whatever the heck that

entails) and hoping that the terrorists run out osuicide bombers beore the Middle East runs outo mosques public markets schools and hotelsthat can be blown up Instead o direct aggressiveand massive-i-necessary military interventionwere relying on such tactics as passive economicsanctions against Yemeni government offi cials whomay be selling cotton to ISIS to make comortableand loose-1047297tting underwear or militant 1047297ghtersor requiring that SA offi cials at airports aroundthe country now politely ask Arab women i theresany possible chance that they might now be orhave ever considered carrying out global jihadwhile posing as a Pakistani woman studying to bea home ec teacher

I will say or the record that I have generallysupported President Obama in his seven years inthe White House his Chicago Bears support asideHowever on this issue I believe he has shownless leadership than a vegan at a pork producersconvention When this country most needs a com-

mander-in-chie whos willing to use the

$560 billion annual US deense budgetor what its there or were getting a guywho seems to be thinking Geez just 11more months to go and Ill be out o hereso the history books can blame the waron ISIL on somebody else

Its not that Im pro-war not by anymeans but sometimes a menace comesalong that is so rightening and capableo causing global terror and sufferingthat world leaders must act I mean Iremember the time in my childhoodsandbox when me and my green plastic

army soldiers were enjoying seemingly endlesspeaceul times when a blue army suddenlyappeared (a whole bag o them as a Christmaspresent ironically) and I suddenly had to makethe call o whether to stop the invasion either by

ull-on combat or to battle the insidious threat lessaggressively by lobbying Congress to pass legisla-tion that would raise the sales tax on bags o bluearmy guys thereby limiting their numbers overyou know say the next 10 years or so

Well you can bet which action I chose andits probably likely that some blue army guybody parts are still buried where my sandboxbattle1047297eld once stood under the box elder treesin our yard Let our President heed that historicallesson that some enemies o peace and reedomcannot be beaten by words and sanctions andmind-numbingly ineffective policies based onaLets cross our 1047297ngers and hope they go awaymission statement

I mean just think had I not conronted theblue army guy menace 40 years ago I might nowbe a screwed-up graying nobody pretending hes

an expert on oreign policyOh shaddup

Loyal head boys basketball coach Rob Love has been

making it a point in practices to have his players look upat the individual school sports banners on the wall andto have them notice that ldquo1968rdquo is the last number on theboys basketball programrsquos conference championship list

ldquoI keep pointing it out and saying lsquoThat number canrsquotsurviversquordquo Love said ldquoWersquove got to put another numberup thererdquo

The Greyhounds are off to a 1-1 start in their questto become the first conference champs in the sport in48 years They beat Granton on Dec 4 after losing topreseason favorite Marshfield Columbus and Love saidthis yearrsquos team is ldquostrides aheadrdquo of the 2014-15 versionthat ended up with an 8-8 mark and fifth-place finish in theEastern Cloverbelt Love has some starting experienceback in his lineup and several talented underclassmenwho will see significant playing time and the team shouldimprove as the youngsters learn the speed of the varsitygame

Love has to replace graduates Ryley Fischer LoganGenteman and Tyler Prust who all were significant

contributors a year ago Back in his starting lineup are junior guard Riley Geiger and 6rsquo4rdquo swingman CameronBrussow who give the Greyhounds a potent 1-2 scoringpunch both from the perimeter and the lane SeniorDerrick Howard also returns to the front line to battlefor rebounds and points and seniors Ben Zimmermanand Marcus Genteman will share one starting spotdepending on a given nightrsquos opponent Sophomore LukeBogdonovich is the other starting guard

Underclassmen who will play important minutesinclude sophomores Waylon Froeba Elliot Genteman andJordan Radue and freshman Quinn Brussow Theyrsquoll alsoplay with the junior varsity team but Love will need themfor varsity minutes for depth Senior Josh Zupanc out forthe sport for the first time will get some minutes as well

In Geiger and Cameron Brussow Loyal has a pair ofplayers who can easily post 20-point nights Geiger the2015 WIAA Division 5 state tournament 3-point shootingchampion is even more accurate from behind the arcthan last year Love said

ldquoThe pleasant surprise has been Riley Geigerrsquosperimeter gamerdquo Love said of the early seasondevelopments ldquoHersquos as good as Irsquove seen him Riley hasnrsquotmissed a beat I didnrsquot think hersquod get better but he hasrdquo

Brussow can also bury shots from 3-point range butdefenders had best be careful so he doesnrsquot drive pastthem A tall player with ball-handling skills Brussowcan score from anywhere

ldquoHe doesnrsquot have to play post because he can handlethe ballrdquo Love said ldquoCameron is a kid who can create hisown shot and thatrsquos a unique thing He has pretty highaspirations this yearrdquo

Bogdonovich who was ineligible to play last year aftertransferring to Loyal will bring the Greyhounds a much-needed third scoring option

ldquoWhen our two scoring leaders get things going weexpect defenses to adjust to guard Cameron and RileyrdquoLove said ldquoLuke has a great opportunity to expose thoseadjustments Hersquos got a real high basketball IQ Hersquos calmHe doesnrsquot get rattled His fundamental skills are reallyreally strongrdquo

Love does have some concerns about depth With new

WIAA rule changes for two 18-minutes halves insteadof four 8-minute quarters plus more emphasis on hand-checking players could get in foul trouble

ldquoFouls are my biggest concernrdquo the coach said ldquoIf ourtop three or four get in foul trouble we have guys whocan play but not play the same wayrdquo

That situation should ease some as the seasonprogresses and the younger players gain experience

Also Love said ldquoWersquove had to change the way we playdefense because of the way theyrsquore calling foulsrdquo Loyalwill back away from its aggressive full-court pressureand settle back more to conserve fouls

Even though he has a group of players with good skillsLove said he is still preaching the necessity of taking careof the basketball when the team is on offense

ldquoBall security is priority one two and threerdquo he saidldquoWe have to secure the ball more We have to understandthe value of every possessionrdquo

A pair of intangibles the Greyhounds will use as theytry to match up with the conference favorites are a highbasketball IQ and leadership Love said this group knowsthe game and can benefit from that

ldquoSome of the boys think basketball It makes sense tothemrdquo Love said

Geiger and Cameron Brussow will provide theleadership both in scoring and as floor captains

ldquoOur floor leaders were sophomores last year andtheyrsquore more experienced this yearrdquo Love said ldquoWersquorein good shape Wersquore strides ahead of where we werelast yearrdquo

Love sees Columbus and defending champion Spenceras the teams to beat in the ECC this year Neillsville andLoyal should be also be near the top of the pile when thedust settles with a key for the Greyhounds being ableto keep their leaders injury-free and out of foul trouble

ldquoWersquove got to keep some of our kids on the floorrdquoLove said

Greyhound boys look to make their mark in competitive ECC

T h e L o y a l g i r l sbasketball team came

so close last season todefeating annual nemesisW i s c o n s i n R a p i d sAssumption in a WIAADivision 5 sectional semi-final game Will this bethe year the Greyhoundsfinally get over theAssumption hump to takea big step toward the statetournament

It rsquo s very early int h e s e a s o n b u t t h eGreyhounds proved theyare to be taken seriouslythis season by pushingAssumption to the wireagain in a Thanksgivingweekend tournament Alast-second shot that justmissed would have liftedLoyal over the Royals inthat one but the game atleast showed area teamsthat Loyal is a legitimatecontender again thiswinter To take the nextstep Loyal has to developits bench said head coachMike Rueth and playthrough a brutal non-conference schedule thatincludes the early season1 and 2 ranked Division5 teams in the state

Loyal finished 22-4overall last year and wonits first Eastern CloverbeltConference championship

The stellar season endedwith a 56-52 sectional lossto Assumption a gamein which the Greyhoundsovercame a double digit deficit in the second half toalmost steal a win That team included now-departedseniors Missy Benz Jaelynn Young and Katie Hoeserthree players who will all be difficult to replace Havingnew reserves step in will be a key to Loyalrsquos 2015-16season Rueth said

Loyalrsquos starting five is as strong as ever Senior pointguard Devyn Schoonover and junior front-line playersMorgan Reinwand and Karsyn Rueth are all back intheir starting roles with a summer of competitive AAUbasketball behind them

ldquoYou can see the time that those kids put inrdquo coachRueth said

Moving into the starting lineup this year are seniorsJaedyn Pieper and Ryleigh Wilke two players who werea part of the main rotation last year They have plenty

of experience the coach said and have already proventhemselves as capable starters in early games this year

ldquoThey passed the test on the first nightrdquo Rueth saidldquoRight now our starting five really gets itrdquo

Amanda Zettler Alexis Dietsche (back) Hailey Rueth Bailey Parker Karsyn Rueth Ryleigh Wilke and BryannaRayhorn

Players who Rueth is counting on to step in withvaluable contributions will include senior post playerBailey Parker who played on the varsity last year andknows the system well and freshman Hailey Rueth ayet-unproven player who will be counted on to play alow-post spot and contribute on defense and rebounding

ldquoShe has all the ability in the worldrdquo Rueth said ldquoWersquollwant her to be an offensive and defensive rebounder anda defensive specialist for us What she could do for us isall the little thingsrdquo

Others who will see varsity time include seniorAmanda Zettler junior Alexis Dietsche and sophomoreBryanna Rayhorn Their development and contributionswill be important because games are longer now with therule change to halves intend of quarters and an increasedemphasis on preventing contact on the court

They have to fill a rolerdquo Rueth said of his reservesldquoBecause of the way things are being called with thenew rules you have to have a bench Theyrsquore just callingeverything so tight nowrdquo

Having an experiencedstarting team at the

beginning of the seasonis a definite advantageRueth said because hedidnrsquot have to start withbasics However it willtake some time for thereserve players to catchup and being patient untilthey do will be important

ldquoWhen you start yourfirst practice yoursquore goingat full speed right fromthe beginningrdquo Ruethsaid ldquoThatrsquos where ourreserves are a little bitbehind Our starting five isquality We just donrsquot havethe bench we had last yearbut I think we can Wersquoregoing to get them thererdquo

Rueth believes thisyearrsquos team again has thetalent to win a conferencechampionship and somegoals are in sight beyondthat Loyal has alreadybeaten perennial ECCpower Neillsville andexpects competition fromOwen-Withee and Spencerdown the road

ldquoTherersquos no doubt wecould repeat as conferencechamps but things have togo our wayrdquo the coach saidldquoTheir (players) goals areto set on being conferencechampions againrdquo

The players also want to

win the conference cross-ver title game this yearLast winter they werebeaten by a Fall Creek

team that advanced to the state tournamentTo get his Greyhounds prepared for the inevitable

tough competition in the WIAA post-season playoffsRueth put together a difficult non-conference schedulethat includes the Assumption tournament a non-conference game against a strong Elk Mound team anda January Saturday road trip to take on Barneveld thedefending D5 state champ that is again ranked 1 Ruethis hoping that schedule will help it improve enough toget past the playoff roadblock it has encountered thepast few seasons

ldquoWersquore hoping that our non-conference schedule isgoing to get us over the humprdquo the coach said

To repeat Spencer needs young players to develop quicklyThe 2014-15 Spencer

boys basketball teamthat won the EasternCloverbelt Conferencetitle with a 14-2 leaguerecord was a mature onewith several players whohad been varsity startersfor two or even threeyears The 2015-16 teamthat will try to repeat asconference champs is notas experienced and maytake some time to developbefore itrsquos ready to play itsbest ball

The start of Spencerrsquosseason has been delayedby the football teamrsquos runto the state title gameThe Rockets postponed

their first two scheduledgames and were to openthe season with a Dec8 non-conference gameagainst Edgar Once theschedule begins coachRandy Recknerrsquos squadwill be faced with thetask of getting somenewcomers up to speedto complement a startingline-up that still includessome varsity veterans

Spencer has 2014-15 ECC player of the year Bobby Pilzback for one more season and he again will be reliedupon for his scoring abilities With starters Miles WeberNate Mercier and Mitchell Susa all gone via graduationPilzrsquo points will be even more critical this year asReckner looks for ways to bolster the teamrsquos offensivepunch Itrsquos not helping any that projected starting guard

Noah Zastrow and post player Dakota Andreae are bothlost for significant time with football-related injurieswhich seriously crimps the Rocketsrsquo depth

Joining Pilz on the starting squad will be Ryan Bussea senior who will be starting for the third-straight year

seniors Calvin Lenz and Jonny Tomke and sophomoreAaron Pankratz Lenz though not a starter in the pastplayed a crucial role on last yearrsquos team and is a versatilescorer who can defend Tomke is athletic and ldquocan helpus in a lot of waysrdquo Reckner said

Those players are proven at the varsity level whilePankratz will get his first taste of it this season Hersquoll be

the teamrsquos starting point guard and his skills as a ballhandler will be tested

ldquoWersquore asking a lot of himrdquo Reckner said ldquoHersquos avery smart kidrdquo

Others who will play in the main rotation will include

sophomores Jack Bezlyk and Jacob Miller Both of them

were important parts of a successful junior varsityteam a year ago and will be called upon to step up thenext level

Bezlyk should add some offenseldquoI think hersquos going to surprise a lot of people with

his scoring abilityrdquo Reckner said ldquoHersquos pretty athleticrdquoMiller is a post player with natural rebounding

instinctsldquoHersquos got the knack of finding the ballrdquo the coach

saidFinding new sources of of fense will be a key for the

Rockets as Susa and Mercier both averaged in doublefigures last year

ldquoWersquove got to replace a lot of scoringrdquo Reckner saidand Pilz is the most likely source

ldquoWersquore going to have to depend on him a lotrdquo Recknersaid with Busse and Lenz also being asked to pick uptheir offensive contributions

Adding to the challenge of repeating as conferencechamps is the relative youth of this team Reckner

has been spoiled in recent years with a plentitude ofexperience but thatrsquos not the case this winter

ldquoI had 2- and 3-year starters last year This year wersquorea little more inexperiencedrdquo Reckner said ldquoTherersquos a lotof teaching going on with the younger guysrdquo

Depth could be a problem for Spencer especially earlyin the season while the sophomores are growing intotheir new roles With Zastrow probably not likely to playuntil late in the season and Andreae out for probably amonth Spencer will have to rely on young players tolearn quickly

ldquoOur depth could be an issuerdquo the coach said ldquoWeprobably would be 9-deep with those two Now wersquoreprobably seven or eight just because of our inexperienceOur conference is going to be really good Hopefully they(younger players) can learn on the flyrdquo

Marshfield Columbus is looking like Spencerrsquos mainchallenge to a repeat ECC title with Neillsville andOwen-Withee also looking strong Reckner said ForSpencer to be atop the standings again at seasonrsquos end

a lot has to fall into placeldquoWe need to be consistent we need to gel as a teamrdquo

Reckner said ldquoWe need to grow up fast In any year tobe a conference champ yoursquove got to catch some breaksrdquo

Rockets girls team off to solid start more growth expected

The 2015-16 Spencer girls basketball team (front from left) Kallie Reckner Macie WeberSydney Kind Nadia King (back) Sabrina Vircks Sadie Mercier Katie Fleischman Lexi

Baehr Jessica Becker Courtney Buss and Liz Endreas

Just a few games into the 2015-16 season Spencer headgirls basketball coach Brian Abel has seen significantimprovement over last year in the way his team isperforming The Rockets are getting mentioned by othercoaches in the Eastern Cloverbelt Conference as a teamto watch out for as Spencer blends decent height and agood outside game into an improving program

Abelrsquos teams went 6-17 two years ago and 6-16 lastyear but this yearrsquos group is off to a 2-1 start with ECCwins over Colby and Marshfield Columbus Those areteams that swept the Rockets last season so Abel has agood sense that things are improving in his programThe players are familiar now with Abelrsquos coaching styleand terminolog y he said and can focus more on playingbasketball

This yearrsquos starting squad is an interesting mix ofinside-outside skills Senior Nadia King returns at thepoint while sophomore guard Lexi Baehr is in her secondvarsity year with perimeter shooting prowess JuniorCourtney Buss mans another spot while seniors Macie

Weber and Sydney Kindgive the Rockets a stronginside presence

Kallie Reckner andLiz Endreas may also getsome starts and will be inthe main rotation KatieFleischmann and JessicaBecker will also get someminutes while SabrinaVircks and Sadie Mercierwill split varsityjuniorvarsity time at least in theearly part of the season

Abel has to find ways toreplace the contributionsof Abby Varsho MelissaLehman and KaitlynWalter who all graduatedHe still has plenty ofreturning players to turnto though and that hashelped in the early season

ldquoTherersquos a lot lessteaching this year becausewersquove got a lot comingbackrdquo Abel said ldquoYou cansee it with our fast startrdquo

Spencer will continue

to run a motion offenselooking for the openperimeter shot or dumpingthe ball inside to Weber or Kind if they have a favorablematchup on the post If the shooters are on the systemworks well

ldquoIt keeps that inside-outside game working Itrsquos a goodbalance so farrdquo Abel said

Defensively the Rockets prefer to fall into a half-court2-3 zone but will come out to play man-to-man at timesThe Rockets want to prevent easy fast-break points andtry to get back in defensive positions

ldquoWe donrsquot want teams to run on usrdquo Abel said ldquoWersquore

very good at getting up and down the court I feel thisteam is very versatile in what we can dordquo

Depth-wise Abel says he has enough quality playersto substitute as needed

ldquoWe have decent depth Itrsquos not shallow by any meansrdquohe said ldquoWe can go eight or nine deep and be alrightrdquo

The Rockets still have to work on some fundamentalsto compete with top teams

ldquoWersquove got to box out defensivelyrdquo he said ldquoOn offensetherersquos an emphasis on limiting turnovers We hadproblems last year with passing under pressurerdquo

One thing Abel is looking for is steady improvementThe year is off to a good start but he wants to maintainthe development as the season progresses

ldquoItrsquos definitely been an improvement from the yearbeforerdquo he said of the teamrsquos early season ldquoI think thegirls just have another year under the system Itrsquos thatcontinual growthrdquo

One goal for Abel this season is to sweep conference

teams that Spencer split its two games with last yearand at least split with those who beat Spencer twiceThatrsquos already happened with the wins over Colby andColumbus

Abel sees Loyal Neillsville and Owen-Withee asthe usual conference favorites Spencer may not be tothe level of those programs yet he said but continuedimprovement will narrow the gap If attitude meansanything his team will be competitive

ldquoThey put the time in They donrsquot want to loserdquo Abelsaid of his players

Spencer-Columbus wrestlers looking for big results this yearTwo seasons ago Spencer head wrestling coach Jake

Zschernitz had no one to fill his lightweight positionsLast year he had the lightweights but then not theheavyweights Finally this season with the resumptionof a co-op program with Marshfield ColumbusZschernitz has everybody he needs and the Rockets lookto be strong

With three wrestlers returning this season afterqualifying for the state meet a year ago -- plus the additionof Columbus athletes and a few underclassmen -- theRockets look to be headed for a strong 2015-16 campaignThey wonrsquot have to overcome the forfeit points theyallowed in the last two seasons and that has Zschernitzthinking the Rockets can repeat as Cloverbelt Conferencedual meet champions and also take the conferencetournament

Spencer-Columbus will be solid at several weightsReturning are 2015 state qualifiers sophomore BryceShaw at 126 pounds senior Tim Bauer at 138 andsophomore Hunter Luepke at 195 Seniors HunterHildebrandt (170) Austin Post (132) and Nate Neumann

(160) also return to the varsity lineupColumbus freshmen Jake Dick (106) and Zach Wheeler-Savoy (113) will take over the lightweight spots whilesophomore Dominick Wichlacz will be at 120 SophomoreJeremiah Giles is slotted in at 145 and freshman CarsonHildebrandt will be at 152 Senior Jake Hainzlsperger willman the 182-pound class senior Elijah Welsh and juniorMax Johnson will contend at 220 and freshman LoganZschernitz and senior Ryan Schauer are the heavyweightchallengers

Shaw placed sixth at state last year the highest finishever for a Spencer freshman Bauer worked hard overthe summer to get even better than his state-qualifyingform of a year ago and Luepke is back as a defendingconference champion and state qualifier HunterHildebrandt and Neumann are also 2015 conferencetournament champions

ldquoThat whole group is going to be a big part of oursuccessrdquo Zschernitz said

Newcomers expected to help include Carson

Hildebrandt and Logan Zschernitz who both haveconsiderable youth wrestling experience Welsh couldbe an interesting wrestler to watch and is someonewho the coach describes as ldquoa naturalrdquo but hasnrsquot beenable to compete at the varsity level because Columbusdidnrsquot have a program Austin Post will bring his footballathleticism to the mat as well and Johnson -- who did notgo out for wrestling last year -- was a sectional qualifieras a freshman

The addition of the Columbus wrestlers at last givesZschernitz the athletes he needs at the right weights

ldquoIf we didnrsquot have them the lightweights would behard to fill againrdquo the coach said

The addition of Columbus will push the Rocketprogram into Division 2 for the state tournament seriesbut Zschernitz doesnrsquot see that as an issue In fact movingout of D3 means the Rockets can avoid such usual smallschool powerhouses as Stratford and Edgar

Zschernitz expects his team can repeat as Cloverbeltdual meet champs and should be a top contender at theconference meet Last year the Rockets lost to Stanley-Boyd by only a few points partly because it had to forfeitat two weights

Not this year And not only does Zschernitz have a fullteam but he has a group thatrsquos as confident as can be afterthe Spencer-Columbus football team went all the way tothe state championship game Many of the athletes areon both teams

ldquoTop to bottom this is definitely the best team wersquovehadrdquo Zschernitz said ldquoWersquore fairly solid all the waythrough Wersquore hoping with the success of the footballco-op it carries over to wrestling Wrestling and footballgo hand-in-hand in my opinion I think the run in footballhelped just to show them they can get to that level if theywant to workrdquo

Greenwood head boys basketball coach EricJohnsonrsquos entire starting five from last year put ona graduation robe in May and headed off to newadventures Left behind in the Greenwood program area few experienced varsity players a wealth of talentedunderclassmen and a question mark as to how fast thisyearrsquos team can develop

In Johnsonrsquos first year as head coach his senior-dominated squad posted a 7-9 record in the EasternCloverbelt Conference and a 10-13 overall mark Gonefrom the group are graduates Booker Bredlau and LoganJohnson who both received all-conference mention andfellow starters Dane Toburen Delten Schmitz and DylanNorth To say Johnson has a rebuilding job on his handsthis year may be just a bit of an understatement

he does have a pair of seniors back in Decker Lindnerand Sam Revier who saw considerable varsity time in2014-15 Joining them as starters will be juniors TrevorSerocki and Zach Zimbauer and sophomore DevinToburen Junior Walker Wuethrich will usually be thefirst guy off the bench with senior Aaron Lindner

junior Cole Lucas and sophomore Tyler Genteman alsofiguring into the rotationldquoWersquore inexperienced at the varsity levelrdquo Johnson

said ldquoThe kids are going to have to catch up to the gamespeed Irsquove got basketball talent out there Hopefully byChristmas time the kids will be caught up and we canbe competitive in every gamerdquo

Greenwood started the season with a non-conferenceloss to Abbotsford and ECC losses to Colby andNeillsville That result is to be expected at least for awhile as the players learn what it takes to compete atthe varsity pace

ldquoThey understand the offense and defense andwhat I want out of themrdquo Johnson said ldquoThe kidsall understand the offense really well Itrsquos just gettingthem up to game speed and you canrsquot simulate that inpracticerdquo

Serocki is showing solid skills at point guard andRevier and Decker Lindner should give the Indiansrebounding defense and inside scoring Toburen is a

versatile player who should develop as he gets varsityminutes

ldquoHe can score inside and outsiderdquo the coach saidldquoHe can handle the ball and rebound He gives me alittle of everythingrdquo

Greenwood will not be able to rely on a strongperimeter game as the young shooters are still tryingto find their range It could be a streaky season as aplayer or two gets hot then cools down

ldquoI donrsquot have a pure shooterrdquo Johnson said ldquoI haveguys who can stroke it but they can lose the stroke just as fastrdquo

Ball security is another area of concern The Indianshave averaged more turnovers than Johnson wants inthe teamrsquos first games Fouls have also been an issuebut that is partly due to officialsrsquo new emphasis onhand-checking and a switch to longer halves intend ofquarters

Johnson said he expects a balanced scoring attackat least until someone emerges as a consistent source

of pointsldquoNobody is really going to stand outrdquo he said ldquoI have

not found that guy yet I hope either Devin or Trevorwill develop into that guyrdquo

Johnson sees Marshfield Columbus as the best teamin the ECC this year with defending champion SpencerNeillsville Owen-Withee and Loyal all figuring to be inthe top half

ldquoHopefully we can fall in somewhere behind thatrdquohe said

Greenwood head basketball coach Carey Petrirsquosfirst year at the helm of the program was not the mostpleasant one with most of her starting and contributingplayers suspended for half the season and the juniorvarsity players called up to fill in One positive fromthat experience is that several young players got varsitytime -- albeit before they were ready -- and that shouldtranslate to a more mature team this season

Petrirsquos Indians are off to a 1-3 start this season as theytry to put last yearrsquos season in the rear-view mirror Theteam took a major blow before this season even startedwhen star senior Taylor Opelt injured her knee in anopen gym workout She was last yearrsquos leading scorerand would have been the centerpiece of Petrirsquos offensethis season

Petrirsquos main group of players this year includesseniors Ashley Walker Lexi Hinker and Renee Herdrich junior Kassidy Lamovec and sophomores Kelly Nielsenand Kaylee Learman Seniors Kaylee Meyer NatalieHackel and Kristyn Nigon are also getting considerableminutes early in the season

In addition to losing Opelt Petri also has to replacegraduates Morgan Hinker and Madison Lucas Thatleaves a huge scoring void to fill which Petri willattempt to cover by having the Indians play a slow tempostyle in which they wait patiently for good shots

ldquoWersquore trying to focus on playing our offense andplaying to our tempordquo she said ldquoWersquore trying to slowthings downrdquo

Several of the key players on this yearrsquos team wereforced into varsity action a year ago and that is payingdividends now

ldquoWith those freshmen who played it kind of got thenerves out of the way a little bitrdquo Petri said

With everyone more comfortable in their roles thisyearrsquos team is playing better as a group One of theIndiansrsquo strengths should be cohesion

ldquoI think this year our chemistry our working welltogether is a strengthrdquo Petri said ldquoWersquore coming closeras a teamrdquo

Shooting has been an issue early for the Indians The

team needs improvement from the perimeter the coachsaid as it has little height to set up plays to the post

ldquoThe shooting is getting betterrdquo Petri said ldquoWersquoreworking on itrdquo

The defense is also showing improvement withplayers adjusting to their responsibilities in the man-

Greenwood girls looking for improvement as season progresses

to-man schemeldquoItrsquos definitely better than last yearrdquo Petri said

ldquoWersquore getting to the spots faster We understand the

rotationsrdquoThe players are also aware of the need for better ball

handling One reason for slowing the tempo down is toavoid situations where opponents pressure the Indiansinto turnovers

ldquoOther teams are aggressive and we tend to panicrdquo

Petri saidThe goals for this yearrsquos teams are modest with an

emphasis on improvement Petri said she wants her

team to develop its skills and get better each time outand the wins will come

ldquoIn time we can come together and play our offenserdquoshe said ldquoObviously I want to have a better team thanlast year Winning half our games would be our ultimategoal right nowrdquo

More than 600000 deer hunters em-braced the excitement of another nine-day gun deer season in Wisconsin andpreliminary numbers show an increasein both deer registration numbers andlicense sales through the end of the nine-day season

This yearrsquos preliminary nine-day gundeer hunt registration figures indicate atotal of 204725 deer harvested during thenine-day season compared to 199583 in2014 Since this is the first year using theGameReg system department staff areverifying this preliminary data to makesure it is correct It is possible that this

number may change slightly followingadditional evaluation

ldquoIrsquom pleased to see an increase in deerharvest numbers from last yearrdquo said BobNack DNR big game section chief ldquoHunt-ers experienced varying levels of successthroughout the state and had an enjoyabletime with family and friendsrdquo

In 2015 preliminary nine-day harvestnumbers were collected through the Ga-meReg system Hunters were required toregister their deer by 5 pm the day afterharvest as opposed to 5 pm the day afterthe nine-day season closed in years past

DNR customer service staff received

positive feedback from hunters through-out the nine-day season as they learned touse the new system Hunters who forgot toregister their deer are required to do soeven if beyond the 5 pm daily deadline

This year 612377 gun deer licenseswere sold through the end of the nine-day gun deer season compared to 608711in 2014 In total 849778 gun archeryand crossbow licenses (not including up-grades) licenses have been sold throughthe end of the nine-day gun deer seasoncompared to 835583 (not including up-grades) in 2014

son 23870 first-time hunters (or thosewho have not hunted in the last 10 years)have taken advantage of the first-time gundeer buyer license compared to 17644 ar-chery hunters Deer license and tag saleswill continue throughout the remaininghunting seasons

DNR investigated eight hunting inci-dents during the nine-day gun deer seasonfive non-fatal (Rock Marathon JacksonPolk and Manitowoc) and three fatal (Co-lumbia Waushara and Marathon)

Deer Camp The best place on EarthHello friendsThis is a summary of the first five days of deer camp for The Red

Brush Gang We call a 36x18 foot pole barn home each Novemberwhich we put up on public land in The Meadow Valley Wildlife Area

By the last day of the season over 25 people will have slept in it

and let me tell ya folks we hunt hard and at night we have a lot of funSaturday Nov 21 -- high 35 low 22The majority of the gang came to camp on Thursday night and

with about a dozen of our members being in the 20-something agerange the evening is just a blast for us conservative ldquoold timersrdquo towatch

There were several wrestling matches and yours truly wouldobtain rib and head injuries with the rib injuries lasting the entirenine-day season The head wound was so ugly that I refused to lookat it the first six days I was in camp

Last night I cooked my meal for the season which was scallopedpotatoes and ham a hot dish made of rice and wild game and squashIn reality you have to have about 50 pounds of food to feed this gangOnce the meal is served you get to belly up to the table the rest of theseason and have someone else prepare your meals

On opening morning there was 18 of us spread out over about15-square miles

Twenty-seven year-old Ryan Moll thought he saw deer as nightwas becoming day and that was confirmed when it became lightenough Ryan had what he described was an ldquoincredibly easy shotrdquo

at a 9-point buck with an 18-inch spread Ryanrsquos trophy had a verybusted up rack and would eventually win the The Red Brush Gangrsquosbig buck contest

About three miles north Doug Cibulka and his 16-year-old sonDerek were hunting an area near the Sprague Mather Flowage Justlike last year Doug and Derek had an experience with a pack of wolvesand later in the day they relocated Doug Cibulka saw a six-pointergoing through the brush and made some venison

Back in the area of our camp Dick Schuster (who is in his mid60s) climbs way up a pine tree and sits all day missed an easy shot

on a six-pointer tried a desperation shot and put a bullet in itrsquos neckThese three guys would be ldquobuck brothersrdquo for the night As far

as the rest of the gang goes over half of us did not see a deerSelina and I hunted where we bow hunted and I believe that the

water levels rising over 10 inches in what was dry marshrsquos and thenfreezing into halfice pushed the deer out of our area In two daysof dark to dark hunting Selina and I would see one deer

Tonight as I have done for 44 consecutive years headed over toNecedah with the gang and ate a turkey dinner at St Francis of As-sisi Catholic Church

On Monday after a very lively Sunday night at camp we began adifferent method of hunting deer which is big drives that literallycover a square mile

Everyone wears hip boots and carries a compass All of us find

out what kind of physical condition we are or are not in and todaywe had pretty steady action and not such good success

None of the adults has a doe tag There are three kids that doThree bucks were kicked up and it sounds like one of them wouldhave won the big buck contest

That buck was shot at by two hunters on a dead run and they bothmissed The half ice that I was talking about is incredibly difficult totravel through The marsh grass grabs your legs above the ice andyou have to break ice to make the next step forward

On Monday night it was down to Ross Moll his dad Jeff Moll (40consecutive years) Doug Cibulka Selina and myself

We ate a great meal Jeff would not let Doug and I go to bed andthe next day we hunted hard and that night we had visitors that keptus up late once again

Every Red Brush Hunter is addicted to this place Sunset

If I was the president Id attack em right now MaybePresident Obama promised last week in a rare

address to the nation that he plans to destroyISIL Whether that means destroying the radicalIslamist group as in wiping them off the ace othe earth in a mighty military massacre or justblocking their Net1047298ix signal so they cant watchBreaking Bad episodes during recess romglobal jihad we cant be sure I mean and I hateto say it the President could not have been muchless impressive in his speech i he had only vowedto not let ull-1047298edged ISIL militants accumulaterequent-1047298yer points while on suicide missionsYeah that woulda taught em a lesson

o be completely truthul -- or truthullycomplete I suppose -- I will tell you that I didnot watch the President deliver his speech onSunday night because 1 Tere was ootball oninstead 2) I orgot about it and 3) I knew hisstatements would be as bland as chicken soup

without the chicken celery carrots bullioncubes salt pepper noodles and paprika 1047298akesTats right about as spicy as water Yeah youdarn right I went there

In his speech the text o which I did readObama said we will hunt down terrorists in anycountry where it is necessary to which VladimirPutin said Oh really o show he has supportor his policies Obama said US allies such asFrance and Britain have ramped up their contri -butions to our military campaign which makesit sound like they are now collecting gently usedwinter coats or our advisors to wear in theSyrian desert Obama also said we are workingwith riends to disrupt ISIL which is aboutthe same verbiage I remember using in juniorhigh when me and some other hooligans tied1047297shing line to the history teachers chair leg and

his bookcase so the case ell on the 1047298oor whenhe went to sit down Yeah we disrupted himall right and had all sorts o time to talk about it

over the next 10 noon hours in the principals offi ce

alk about your post-battle brie1047297ngsIn a speech that lasted about as long as an

average waterboarding session -- but made youeel more like you were being tortured -- Obamareerred directly by name to ISIL 14 times which isbetter ree advertising than having Jennier Lopezwear your companys V-neck -shirt at the SuperBowl halfime show And about that -- why doesObama insist on calling the group ISIL when ev-eryone else on the planet calls it ISIS Is it a speechimpediment thing Is he trying to convince us thathe knows more than we do just because he uses adifferent name Or -- and this is a scary thought-- maybe hes planning to destroy the IndianaShelter or Illiterate Lawyers and weve all just beenmisunderstanding I mean yeah lawyers shouldknow how to read I get it but utter destructionseems a bit harsh

I also thought it was interesting -- no make thatprooundly disturbing -- that the President startedone o his sentences with My ellow Americans asi invoking a Richard Nixon image would somehowreassure the nation that everything possible is beingdone to combat a threatening and dangerous en-emy Because as we all remember -- at least those ous who were born beore the country realized thatBob Dylan really cant sing -- Nixon implementeda strategy known as Vietnamization in whichAmerican advisors were supposed to teach SouthVietnamese people who knew less about moderncombat techniques than Hagar the Horrible howto deeat a determined North Vietnamese orcewith sticks and some paper lea1047298ets dropped outo a helicopter In an inamous policy that datesback arther than the start o that last sentence itailed more miserably than Mason Crosbys game-

winning 1047297eld goal try against Detroit last monthWow Military history and proessional ootball

in one vaguely effective metaphor And they said

it couldnt be doneWhat cant be done at least in my opinion and

that o all the hawkish members o the right-wingCongressional caucus is deeat ISIS with the cur-rent strategy o drone strikes random bombingSpecial Forces operations (whatever the heck that

entails) and hoping that the terrorists run out osuicide bombers beore the Middle East runs outo mosques public markets schools and hotelsthat can be blown up Instead o direct aggressiveand massive-i-necessary military interventionwere relying on such tactics as passive economicsanctions against Yemeni government offi cials whomay be selling cotton to ISIS to make comortableand loose-1047297tting underwear or militant 1047297ghtersor requiring that SA offi cials at airports aroundthe country now politely ask Arab women i theresany possible chance that they might now be orhave ever considered carrying out global jihadwhile posing as a Pakistani woman studying to bea home ec teacher

I will say or the record that I have generallysupported President Obama in his seven years inthe White House his Chicago Bears support asideHowever on this issue I believe he has shownless leadership than a vegan at a pork producersconvention When this country most needs a com-

mander-in-chie whos willing to use the

$560 billion annual US deense budgetor what its there or were getting a guywho seems to be thinking Geez just 11more months to go and Ill be out o hereso the history books can blame the waron ISIL on somebody else

Its not that Im pro-war not by anymeans but sometimes a menace comesalong that is so rightening and capableo causing global terror and sufferingthat world leaders must act I mean Iremember the time in my childhoodsandbox when me and my green plastic

army soldiers were enjoying seemingly endlesspeaceul times when a blue army suddenlyappeared (a whole bag o them as a Christmaspresent ironically) and I suddenly had to makethe call o whether to stop the invasion either by

ull-on combat or to battle the insidious threat lessaggressively by lobbying Congress to pass legisla-tion that would raise the sales tax on bags o bluearmy guys thereby limiting their numbers overyou know say the next 10 years or so

Well you can bet which action I chose andits probably likely that some blue army guybody parts are still buried where my sandboxbattle1047297eld once stood under the box elder treesin our yard Let our President heed that historicallesson that some enemies o peace and reedomcannot be beaten by words and sanctions andmind-numbingly ineffective policies based onaLets cross our 1047297ngers and hope they go awaymission statement

I mean just think had I not conronted theblue army guy menace 40 years ago I might nowbe a screwed-up graying nobody pretending hes

an expert on oreign policyOh shaddup

2 ndash Wednesday December 9 2015 WINTER SPORTS PREVIEW

Loyal head boys basketball coach Rob Love has been

making it a point in practices to have his players look upat the individual school sports banners on the wall andto have them notice that ldquo1968rdquo is the last number on theboys basketball programrsquos conference championship list

ldquoI keep pointing it out and saying lsquoThat number canrsquotsurviversquordquo Love said ldquoWersquove got to put another numberup thererdquo

The Greyhounds are off to a 1-1 start in their questto become the first conference champs in the sport in48 years They beat Granton on Dec 4 after losing topreseason favorite Marshfield Columbus and Love saidthis yearrsquos team is ldquostrides aheadrdquo of the 2014-15 versionthat ended up with an 8-8 mark and fifth-place finish in theEastern Cloverbelt Love has some starting experienceback in his lineup and several talented underclassmenwho will see significant playing time and the team shouldimprove as the youngsters learn the speed of the varsitygame

Love has to replace graduates Ryley Fischer LoganGenteman and Tyler Prust who all were significant

contributors a year ago Back in his starting lineup are junior guard Riley Geiger and 6rsquo4rdquo swingman CameronBrussow who give the Greyhounds a potent 1-2 scoringpunch both from the perimeter and the lane SeniorDerrick Howard also returns to the front line to battlefor rebounds and points and seniors Ben Zimmermanand Marcus Genteman will share one starting spotdepending on a given nightrsquos opponent Sophomore LukeBogdonovich is the other starting guard

Underclassmen who will play important minutesinclude sophomores Waylon Froeba Elliot Genteman andJordan Radue and freshman Quinn Brussow Theyrsquoll alsoplay with the junior varsity team but Love will need themfor varsity minutes for depth Senior Josh Zupanc out forthe sport for the first time will get some minutes as well

In Geiger and Cameron Brussow Loyal has a pair ofplayers who can easily post 20-point nights Geiger the2015 WIAA Division 5 state tournament 3-point shootingchampion is even more accurate from behind the arcthan last year Love said

ldquoThe pleasant surprise has been Riley Geigerrsquosperimeter gamerdquo Love said of the early seasondevelopments ldquoHersquos as good as Irsquove seen him Riley hasnrsquotmissed a beat I didnrsquot think hersquod get better but he hasrdquo

Brussow can also bury shots from 3-point range butdefenders had best be careful so he doesnrsquot drive pastthem A tall player with ball-handling skills Brussowcan score from anywhere

ldquoHe doesnrsquot have to play post because he can handlethe ballrdquo Love said ldquoCameron is a kid who can create hisown shot and thatrsquos a unique thing He has pretty highaspirations this yearrdquo

Bogdonovich who was ineligible to play last year aftertransferring to Loyal will bring the Greyhounds a much-needed third scoring option

ldquoWhen our two scoring leaders get things going weexpect defenses to adjust to guard Cameron and RileyrdquoLove said ldquoLuke has a great opportunity to expose thoseadjustments Hersquos got a real high basketball IQ Hersquos calmHe doesnrsquot get rattled His fundamental skills are reallyreally strongrdquo

Love does have some concerns about depth With new

WIAA rule changes for two 18-minutes halves insteadof four 8-minute quarters plus more emphasis on hand-checking players could get in foul trouble

ldquoFouls are my biggest concernrdquo the coach said ldquoIf ourtop three or four get in foul trouble we have guys whocan play but not play the same wayrdquo

That situation should ease some as the seasonprogresses and the younger players gain experience

Also Love said ldquoWersquove had to change the way we playdefense because of the way theyrsquore calling foulsrdquo Loyalwill back away from its aggressive full-court pressureand settle back more to conserve fouls

Even though he has a group of players with good skillsLove said he is still preaching the necessity of taking careof the basketball when the team is on offense

ldquoBall security is priority one two and threerdquo he saidldquoWe have to secure the ball more We have to understandthe value of every possessionrdquo

A pair of intangibles the Greyhounds will use as theytry to match up with the conference favorites are a highbasketball IQ and leadership Love said this group knowsthe game and can benefit from that

ldquoSome of the boys think basketball It makes sense tothemrdquo Love said

Geiger and Cameron Brussow will provide theleadership both in scoring and as floor captains

ldquoOur floor leaders were sophomores last year andtheyrsquore more experienced this yearrdquo Love said ldquoWersquorein good shape Wersquore strides ahead of where we werelast yearrdquo

Love sees Columbus and defending champion Spenceras the teams to beat in the ECC this year Neillsville andLoyal should be also be near the top of the pile when thedust settles with a key for the Greyhounds being ableto keep their leaders injury-free and out of foul trouble

ldquoWersquove got to keep some of our kids on the floorrdquoLove said

Greyhound boys look to make their mark in competitive ECC

T h e L o y a l g i r l sbasketball team came

so close last season todefeating annual nemesisW i s c o n s i n R a p i d sAssumption in a WIAADivision 5 sectional semi-final game Will this bethe year the Greyhoundsfinally get over theAssumption hump to takea big step toward the statetournament

It rsquo s very early int h e s e a s o n b u t t h eGreyhounds proved theyare to be taken seriouslythis season by pushingAssumption to the wireagain in a Thanksgivingweekend tournament Alast-second shot that justmissed would have liftedLoyal over the Royals inthat one but the game atleast showed area teamsthat Loyal is a legitimatecontender again thiswinter To take the nextstep Loyal has to developits bench said head coachMike Rueth and playthrough a brutal non-conference schedule thatincludes the early season1 and 2 ranked Division5 teams in the state

Loyal finished 22-4overall last year and wonits first Eastern CloverbeltConference championship

The stellar season endedwith a 56-52 sectional lossto Assumption a gamein which the Greyhoundsovercame a double digit deficit in the second half toalmost steal a win That team included now-departedseniors Missy Benz Jaelynn Young and Katie Hoeserthree players who will all be difficult to replace Havingnew reserves step in will be a key to Loyalrsquos 2015-16season Rueth said

Loyalrsquos starting five is as strong as ever Senior pointguard Devyn Schoonover and junior front-line playersMorgan Reinwand and Karsyn Rueth are all back intheir starting roles with a summer of competitive AAUbasketball behind them

ldquoYou can see the time that those kids put inrdquo coachRueth said

Moving into the starting lineup this year are seniorsJaedyn Pieper and Ryleigh Wilke two players who werea part of the main rotation last year They have plenty

of experience the coach said and have already proventhemselves as capable starters in early games this year

ldquoThey passed the test on the first nightrdquo Rueth saidldquoRight now our starting five really gets itrdquo

Repeat ECC title and more are on Loyal girls teamrsquos list of goals

Amanda Zettler Alexis Dietsche (back) Hailey Rueth Bailey Parker Karsyn Rueth Ryleigh Wilke and BryannaRayhorn

Players who Rueth is counting on to step in withvaluable contributions will include senior post playerBailey Parker who played on the varsity last year andknows the system well and freshman Hailey Rueth ayet-unproven player who will be counted on to play alow-post spot and contribute on defense and rebounding

ldquoShe has all the ability in the worldrdquo Rueth said ldquoWersquollwant her to be an offensive and defensive rebounder anda defensive specialist for us What she could do for us isall the little thingsrdquo

Others who will see varsity time include seniorAmanda Zettler junior Alexis Dietsche and sophomoreBryanna Rayhorn Their development and contributionswill be important because games are longer now with therule change to halves intend of quarters and an increasedemphasis on preventing contact on the court

They have to fill a rolerdquo Rueth said of his reservesldquoBecause of the way things are being called with thenew rules you have to have a bench Theyrsquore just callingeverything so tight nowrdquo

Having an experiencedstarting team at the

beginning of the seasonis a definite advantageRueth said because hedidnrsquot have to start withbasics However it willtake some time for thereserve players to catchup and being patient untilthey do will be important

ldquoWhen you start yourfirst practice yoursquore goingat full speed right fromthe beginningrdquo Ruethsaid ldquoThatrsquos where ourreserves are a little bitbehind Our starting five isquality We just donrsquot havethe bench we had last yearbut I think we can Wersquoregoing to get them thererdquo

Rueth believes thisyearrsquos team again has thetalent to win a conferencechampionship and somegoals are in sight beyondthat Loyal has alreadybeaten perennial ECCpower Neillsville andexpects competition fromOwen-Withee and Spencerdown the road

ldquoTherersquos no doubt wecould repeat as conferencechamps but things have togo our wayrdquo the coach saidldquoTheir (players) goals areto set on being conferencechampions againrdquo

The players also want to

win the conference cross-ver title game this yearLast winter they werebeaten by a Fall Creek

team that advanced to the state tournamentTo get his Greyhounds prepared for the inevitable

tough competition in the WIAA post-season playoffsRueth put together a difficult non-conference schedulethat includes the Assumption tournament a non-conference game against a strong Elk Mound team anda January Saturday road trip to take on Barneveld thedefending D5 state champ that is again ranked 1 Ruethis hoping that schedule will help it improve enough toget past the playoff roadblock it has encountered thepast few seasons

ldquoWersquore hoping that our non-conference schedule isgoing to get us over the humprdquo the coach said

To repeat Spencer needs young players to develop quicklyThe 2014-15 Spencer

boys basketball teamthat won the EasternCloverbelt Conferencetitle with a 14-2 leaguerecord was a mature onewith several players whohad been varsity startersfor two or even threeyears The 2015-16 teamthat will try to repeat asconference champs is notas experienced and maytake some time to developbefore itrsquos ready to play itsbest ball

The start of Spencerrsquosseason has been delayedby the football teamrsquos runto the state title gameThe Rockets postponed

their first two scheduledgames and were to openthe season with a Dec8 non-conference gameagainst Edgar Once theschedule begins coachRandy Recknerrsquos squadwill be faced with thetask of getting somenewcomers up to speedto complement a startingline-up that still includessome varsity veterans

Spencer has 2014-15 ECC player of the year Bobby Pilzback for one more season and he again will be reliedupon for his scoring abilities With starters Miles WeberNate Mercier and Mitchell Susa all gone via graduationPilzrsquo points will be even more critical this year asReckner looks for ways to bolster the teamrsquos offensivepunch Itrsquos not helping any that projected starting guard

Noah Zastrow and post player Dakota Andreae are bothlost for significant time with football-related injurieswhich seriously crimps the Rocketsrsquo depth

Joining Pilz on the starting squad will be Ryan Bussea senior who will be starting for the third-straight year

seniors Calvin Lenz and Jonny Tomke and sophomoreAaron Pankratz Lenz though not a starter in the pastplayed a crucial role on last yearrsquos team and is a versatilescorer who can defend Tomke is athletic and ldquocan helpus in a lot of waysrdquo Reckner said

Those players are proven at the varsity level whilePankratz will get his first taste of it this season Hersquoll be

the teamrsquos starting point guard and his skills as a ballhandler will be tested

ldquoWersquore asking a lot of himrdquo Reckner said ldquoHersquos avery smart kidrdquo

Others who will play in the main rotation will include

sophomores Jack Bezlyk and Jacob Miller Both of them

were important parts of a successful junior varsityteam a year ago and will be called upon to step up thenext level

Bezlyk should add some offenseldquoI think hersquos going to surprise a lot of people with

his scoring abilityrdquo Reckner said ldquoHersquos pretty athleticrdquoMiller is a post player with natural rebounding

instinctsldquoHersquos got the knack of finding the ballrdquo the coach

saidFinding new sources of of fense will be a key for the

Rockets as Susa and Mercier both averaged in doublefigures last year

ldquoWersquove got to replace a lot of scoringrdquo Reckner saidand Pilz is the most likely source

ldquoWersquore going to have to depend on him a lotrdquo Recknersaid with Busse and Lenz also being asked to pick uptheir offensive contributions

Adding to the challenge of repeating as conferencechamps is the relative youth of this team Reckner

has been spoiled in recent years with a plentitude ofexperience but thatrsquos not the case this winter

ldquoI had 2- and 3-year starters last year This year wersquorea little more inexperiencedrdquo Reckner said ldquoTherersquos a lotof teaching going on with the younger guysrdquo

Depth could be a problem for Spencer especially earlyin the season while the sophomores are growing intotheir new roles With Zastrow probably not likely to playuntil late in the season and Andreae out for probably amonth Spencer will have to rely on young players tolearn quickly

ldquoOur depth could be an issuerdquo the coach said ldquoWeprobably would be 9-deep with those two Now wersquoreprobably seven or eight just because of our inexperienceOur conference is going to be really good Hopefully they(younger players) can learn on the flyrdquo

Marshfield Columbus is looking like Spencerrsquos mainchallenge to a repeat ECC title with Neillsville andOwen-Withee also looking strong Reckner said ForSpencer to be atop the standings again at seasonrsquos end

a lot has to fall into placeldquoWe need to be consistent we need to gel as a teamrdquo

Reckner said ldquoWe need to grow up fast In any year tobe a conference champ yoursquove got to catch some breaksrdquo

Rockets girls team off to solid start more growth expected

The 2015-16 Spencer girls basketball team (front from left) Kallie Reckner Macie WeberSydney Kind Nadia King (back) Sabrina Vircks Sadie Mercier Katie Fleischman Lexi

Baehr Jessica Becker Courtney Buss and Liz Endreas

Just a few games into the 2015-16 season Spencer headgirls basketball coach Brian Abel has seen significantimprovement over last year in the way his team isperforming The Rockets are getting mentioned by othercoaches in the Eastern Cloverbelt Conference as a teamto watch out for as Spencer blends decent height and agood outside game into an improving program

Abelrsquos teams went 6-17 two years ago and 6-16 lastyear but this yearrsquos group is off to a 2-1 start with ECCwins over Colby and Marshfield Columbus Those areteams that swept the Rockets last season so Abel has agood sense that things are improving in his programThe players are familiar now with Abelrsquos coaching styleand terminolog y he said and can focus more on playingbasketball

This yearrsquos starting squad is an interesting mix ofinside-outside skills Senior Nadia King returns at thepoint while sophomore guard Lexi Baehr is in her secondvarsity year with perimeter shooting prowess JuniorCourtney Buss mans another spot while seniors Macie

Weber and Sydney Kindgive the Rockets a stronginside presence

Kallie Reckner andLiz Endreas may also getsome starts and will be inthe main rotation KatieFleischmann and JessicaBecker will also get someminutes while SabrinaVircks and Sadie Mercierwill split varsityjuniorvarsity time at least in theearly part of the season

Abel has to find ways toreplace the contributionsof Abby Varsho MelissaLehman and KaitlynWalter who all graduatedHe still has plenty ofreturning players to turnto though and that hashelped in the early season

ldquoTherersquos a lot lessteaching this year becausewersquove got a lot comingbackrdquo Abel said ldquoYou cansee it with our fast startrdquo

Spencer will continue

to run a motion offenselooking for the openperimeter shot or dumpingthe ball inside to Weber or Kind if they have a favorablematchup on the post If the shooters are on the systemworks well

ldquoIt keeps that inside-outside game working Itrsquos a goodbalance so farrdquo Abel said

Defensively the Rockets prefer to fall into a half-court2-3 zone but will come out to play man-to-man at timesThe Rockets want to prevent easy fast-break points andtry to get back in defensive positions

ldquoWe donrsquot want teams to run on usrdquo Abel said ldquoWersquore

very good at getting up and down the court I feel thisteam is very versatile in what we can dordquo

Depth-wise Abel says he has enough quality playersto substitute as needed

ldquoWe have decent depth Itrsquos not shallow by any meansrdquohe said ldquoWe can go eight or nine deep and be alrightrdquo

The Rockets still have to work on some fundamentalsto compete with top teams

ldquoWersquove got to box out defensivelyrdquo he said ldquoOn offensetherersquos an emphasis on limiting turnovers We hadproblems last year with passing under pressurerdquo

One thing Abel is looking for is steady improvementThe year is off to a good start but he wants to maintainthe development as the season progresses

ldquoItrsquos definitely been an improvement from the yearbeforerdquo he said of the teamrsquos early season ldquoI think thegirls just have another year under the system Itrsquos thatcontinual growthrdquo

One goal for Abel this season is to sweep conference

teams that Spencer split its two games with last yearand at least split with those who beat Spencer twiceThatrsquos already happened with the wins over Colby andColumbus

Abel sees Loyal Neillsville and Owen-Withee asthe usual conference favorites Spencer may not be tothe level of those programs yet he said but continuedimprovement will narrow the gap If attitude meansanything his team will be competitive

ldquoThey put the time in They donrsquot want to loserdquo Abelsaid of his players

Spencer-Columbus wrestlers looking for big results this yearTwo seasons ago Spencer head wrestling coach Jake

Zschernitz had no one to fill his lightweight positionsLast year he had the lightweights but then not theheavyweights Finally this season with the resumptionof a co-op program with Marshfield ColumbusZschernitz has everybody he needs and the Rockets lookto be strong

With three wrestlers returning this season afterqualifying for the state meet a year ago -- plus the additionof Columbus athletes and a few underclassmen -- theRockets look to be headed for a strong 2015-16 campaignThey wonrsquot have to overcome the forfeit points theyallowed in the last two seasons and that has Zschernitzthinking the Rockets can repeat as Cloverbelt Conferencedual meet champions and also take the conferencetournament

Spencer-Columbus will be solid at several weightsReturning are 2015 state qualifiers sophomore BryceShaw at 126 pounds senior Tim Bauer at 138 andsophomore Hunter Luepke at 195 Seniors HunterHildebrandt (170) Austin Post (132) and Nate Neumann

(160) also return to the varsity lineupColumbus freshmen Jake Dick (106) and Zach Wheeler-Savoy (113) will take over the lightweight spots whilesophomore Dominick Wichlacz will be at 120 SophomoreJeremiah Giles is slotted in at 145 and freshman CarsonHildebrandt will be at 152 Senior Jake Hainzlsperger willman the 182-pound class senior Elijah Welsh and juniorMax Johnson will contend at 220 and freshman LoganZschernitz and senior Ryan Schauer are the heavyweightchallengers

Shaw placed sixth at state last year the highest finishever for a Spencer freshman Bauer worked hard overthe summer to get even better than his state-qualifyingform of a year ago and Luepke is back as a defendingconference champion and state qualifier HunterHildebrandt and Neumann are also 2015 conferencetournament champions

ldquoThat whole group is going to be a big part of oursuccessrdquo Zschernitz said

Newcomers expected to help include Carson

Hildebrandt and Logan Zschernitz who both haveconsiderable youth wrestling experience Welsh couldbe an interesting wrestler to watch and is someonewho the coach describes as ldquoa naturalrdquo but hasnrsquot beenable to compete at the varsity level because Columbusdidnrsquot have a program Austin Post will bring his footballathleticism to the mat as well and Johnson -- who did notgo out for wrestling last year -- was a sectional qualifieras a freshman

The addition of the Columbus wrestlers at last givesZschernitz the athletes he needs at the right weights

ldquoIf we didnrsquot have them the lightweights would behard to fill againrdquo the coach said

The addition of Columbus will push the Rocketprogram into Division 2 for the state tournament seriesbut Zschernitz doesnrsquot see that as an issue In fact movingout of D3 means the Rockets can avoid such usual smallschool powerhouses as Stratford and Edgar

Zschernitz expects his team can repeat as Cloverbeltdual meet champs and should be a top contender at theconference meet Last year the Rockets lost to Stanley-Boyd by only a few points partly because it had to forfeitat two weights

Not this year And not only does Zschernitz have a fullteam but he has a group thatrsquos as confident as can be afterthe Spencer-Columbus football team went all the way tothe state championship game Many of the athletes areon both teams

ldquoTop to bottom this is definitely the best team wersquovehadrdquo Zschernitz said ldquoWersquore fairly solid all the waythrough Wersquore hoping with the success of the footballco-op it carries over to wrestling Wrestling and footballgo hand-in-hand in my opinion I think the run in footballhelped just to show them they can get to that level if theywant to workrdquo

Greenwood head boys basketball coach EricJohnsonrsquos entire starting five from last year put ona graduation robe in May and headed off to newadventures Left behind in the Greenwood program area few experienced varsity players a wealth of talentedunderclassmen and a question mark as to how fast thisyearrsquos team can develop

In Johnsonrsquos first year as head coach his senior-dominated squad posted a 7-9 record in the EasternCloverbelt Conference and a 10-13 overall mark Gonefrom the group are graduates Booker Bredlau and LoganJohnson who both received all-conference mention andfellow starters Dane Toburen Delten Schmitz and DylanNorth To say Johnson has a rebuilding job on his handsthis year may be just a bit of an understatement

he does have a pair of seniors back in Decker Lindnerand Sam Revier who saw considerable varsity time in2014-15 Joining them as starters will be juniors TrevorSerocki and Zach Zimbauer and sophomore DevinToburen Junior Walker Wuethrich will usually be thefirst guy off the bench with senior Aaron Lindner

junior Cole Lucas and sophomore Tyler Genteman alsofiguring into the rotationldquoWersquore inexperienced at the varsity levelrdquo Johnson

said ldquoThe kids are going to have to catch up to the gamespeed Irsquove got basketball talent out there Hopefully byChristmas time the kids will be caught up and we canbe competitive in every gamerdquo

Greenwood started the season with a non-conferenceloss to Abbotsford and ECC losses to Colby andNeillsville That result is to be expected at least for awhile as the players learn what it takes to compete atthe varsity pace

ldquoThey understand the offense and defense andwhat I want out of themrdquo Johnson said ldquoThe kidsall understand the offense really well Itrsquos just gettingthem up to game speed and you canrsquot simulate that inpracticerdquo

Serocki is showing solid skills at point guard andRevier and Decker Lindner should give the Indiansrebounding defense and inside scoring Toburen is a

versatile player who should develop as he gets varsityminutes

ldquoHe can score inside and outsiderdquo the coach saidldquoHe can handle the ball and rebound He gives me alittle of everythingrdquo

Greenwood will not be able to rely on a strongperimeter game as the young shooters are still tryingto find their range It could be a streaky season as aplayer or two gets hot then cools down

ldquoI donrsquot have a pure shooterrdquo Johnson said ldquoI haveguys who can stroke it but they can lose the stroke just as fastrdquo

Ball security is another area of concern The Indianshave averaged more turnovers than Johnson wants inthe teamrsquos first games Fouls have also been an issuebut that is partly due to officialsrsquo new emphasis onhand-checking and a switch to longer halves intend ofquarters

Johnson said he expects a balanced scoring attackat least until someone emerges as a consistent source

of pointsldquoNobody is really going to stand outrdquo he said ldquoI have

not found that guy yet I hope either Devin or Trevorwill develop into that guyrdquo

Johnson sees Marshfield Columbus as the best teamin the ECC this year with defending champion SpencerNeillsville Owen-Withee and Loyal all figuring to be inthe top half

ldquoHopefully we can fall in somewhere behind thatrdquohe said

Greenwood head basketball coach Carey Petrirsquosfirst year at the helm of the program was not the mostpleasant one with most of her starting and contributingplayers suspended for half the season and the juniorvarsity players called up to fill in One positive fromthat experience is that several young players got varsitytime -- albeit before they were ready -- and that shouldtranslate to a more mature team this season

Petrirsquos Indians are off to a 1-3 start this season as theytry to put last yearrsquos season in the rear-view mirror Theteam took a major blow before this season even startedwhen star senior Taylor Opelt injured her knee in anopen gym workout She was last yearrsquos leading scorerand would have been the centerpiece of Petrirsquos offensethis season

Petrirsquos main group of players this year includesseniors Ashley Walker Lexi Hinker and Renee Herdrich junior Kassidy Lamovec and sophomores Kelly Nielsenand Kaylee Learman Seniors Kaylee Meyer NatalieHackel and Kristyn Nigon are also getting considerableminutes early in the season

In addition to losing Opelt Petri also has to replacegraduates Morgan Hinker and Madison Lucas Thatleaves a huge scoring void to fill which Petri willattempt to cover by having the Indians play a slow tempostyle in which they wait patiently for good shots

ldquoWersquore trying to focus on playing our offense andplaying to our tempordquo she said ldquoWersquore trying to slowthings downrdquo

Several of the key players on this yearrsquos team wereforced into varsity action a year ago and that is payingdividends now

ldquoWith those freshmen who played it kind of got thenerves out of the way a little bitrdquo Petri said

With everyone more comfortable in their roles thisyearrsquos team is playing better as a group One of theIndiansrsquo strengths should be cohesion

ldquoI think this year our chemistry our working welltogether is a strengthrdquo Petri said ldquoWersquore coming closeras a teamrdquo

Shooting has been an issue early for the Indians The

team needs improvement from the perimeter the coachsaid as it has little height to set up plays to the post

ldquoThe shooting is getting betterrdquo Petri said ldquoWersquoreworking on itrdquo

The defense is also showing improvement withplayers adjusting to their responsibilities in the man-

Greenwood girls looking for improvement as season progresses

to-man schemeldquoItrsquos definitely better than last yearrdquo Petri said

ldquoWersquore getting to the spots faster We understand the

rotationsrdquoThe players are also aware of the need for better ball

handling One reason for slowing the tempo down is toavoid situations where opponents pressure the Indiansinto turnovers

ldquoOther teams are aggressive and we tend to panicrdquo

Petri saidThe goals for this yearrsquos teams are modest with an

emphasis on improvement Petri said she wants her

team to develop its skills and get better each time outand the wins will come

ldquoIn time we can come together and play our offenserdquoshe said ldquoObviously I want to have a better team thanlast year Winning half our games would be our ultimategoal right nowrdquo

Deer Camp The best place on EarthHello friendsThis is a summary of the first five days of deer camp for The Red

Brush Gang We call a 36x18 foot pole barn home each Novemberwhich we put up on public land in The Meadow Valley Wildlife Area

By the last day of the season over 25 people will have slept in it

and let me tell ya folks we hunt hard and at night we have a lot of funSaturday Nov 21 -- high 35 low 22The majority of the gang came to camp on Thursday night and

with about a dozen of our members being in the 20-something agerange the evening is just a blast for us conservative ldquoold timersrdquo towatch

There were several wrestling matches and yours truly wouldobtain rib and head injuries with the rib injuries lasting the entirenine-day season The head wound was so ugly that I refused to lookat it the first six days I was in camp

Last night I cooked my meal for the season which was scallopedpotatoes and ham a hot dish made of rice and wild game and squashIn reality you have to have about 50 pounds of food to feed this gangOnce the meal is served you get to belly up to the table the rest of theseason and have someone else prepare your meals

On opening morning there was 18 of us spread out over about15-square miles

Twenty-seven year-old Ryan Moll thought he saw deer as nightwas becoming day and that was confirmed when it became lightenough Ryan had what he described was an ldquoincredibly easy shotrdquo

at a 9-point buck with an 18-inch spread Ryanrsquos trophy had a verybusted up rack and would eventually win the The Red Brush Gangrsquosbig buck contest

About three miles north Doug Cibulka and his 16-year-old sonDerek were hunting an area near the Sprague Mather Flowage Justlike last year Doug and Derek had an experience with a pack of wolvesand later in the day they relocated Doug Cibulka saw a six-pointergoing through the brush and made some venison

Back in the area of our camp Dick Schuster (who is in his mid60s) climbs way up a pine tree and sits all day missed an easy shot

on a six-pointer tried a desperation shot and put a bullet in itrsquos neckThese three guys would be ldquobuck brothersrdquo for the night As far

as the rest of the gang goes over half of us did not see a deerSelina and I hunted where we bow hunted and I believe that the

water levels rising over 10 inches in what was dry marshrsquos and thenfreezing into halfice pushed the deer out of our area In two daysof dark to dark hunting Selina and I would see one deer

Tonight as I have done for 44 consecutive years headed over toNecedah with the gang and ate a turkey dinner at St Francis of As-sisi Catholic Church

On Monday after a very lively Sunday night at camp we began adifferent method of hunting deer which is big drives that literallycover a square mile

Everyone wears hip boots and carries a compass All of us find

out what kind of physical condition we are or are not in and todaywe had pretty steady action and not such good success

None of the adults has a doe tag There are three kids that doThree bucks were kicked up and it sounds like one of them wouldhave won the big buck contest

That buck was shot at by two hunters on a dead run and they bothmissed The half ice that I was talking about is incredibly difficult totravel through The marsh grass grabs your legs above the ice andyou have to break ice to make the next step forward

On Monday night it was down to Ross Moll his dad Jeff Moll (40consecutive years) Doug Cibulka Selina and myself

We ate a great meal Jeff would not let Doug and I go to bed andthe next day we hunted hard and that night we had visitors that keptus up late once again

Every Red Brush Hunter is addicted to this place Sunset

If I was the president Id attack em right now MaybePresident Obama promised last week in a rare

address to the nation that he plans to destroyISIL Whether that means destroying the radicalIslamist group as in wiping them off the ace othe earth in a mighty military massacre or justblocking their Net1047298ix signal so they cant watchBreaking Bad episodes during recess romglobal jihad we cant be sure I mean and I hateto say it the President could not have been muchless impressive in his speech i he had only vowedto not let ull-1047298edged ISIL militants accumulaterequent-1047298yer points while on suicide missionsYeah that woulda taught em a lesson

o be completely truthul -- or truthullycomplete I suppose -- I will tell you that I didnot watch the President deliver his speech onSunday night because 1 Tere was ootball oninstead 2) I orgot about it and 3) I knew hisstatements would be as bland as chicken soup

without the chicken celery carrots bullioncubes salt pepper noodles and paprika 1047298akesTats right about as spicy as water Yeah youdarn right I went there

In his speech the text o which I did readObama said we will hunt down terrorists in anycountry where it is necessary to which VladimirPutin said Oh really o show he has supportor his policies Obama said US allies such asFrance and Britain have ramped up their contri -butions to our military campaign which makesit sound like they are now collecting gently usedwinter coats or our advisors to wear in theSyrian desert Obama also said we are workingwith riends to disrupt ISIL which is aboutthe same verbiage I remember using in juniorhigh when me and some other hooligans tied1047297shing line to the history teachers chair leg and

his bookcase so the case ell on the 1047298oor whenhe went to sit down Yeah we disrupted himall right and had all sorts o time to talk about it

over the next 10 noon hours in the principals offi ce

alk about your post-battle brie1047297ngsIn a speech that lasted about as long as an

average waterboarding session -- but made youeel more like you were being tortured -- Obamareerred directly by name to ISIL 14 times which isbetter ree advertising than having Jennier Lopezwear your companys V-neck -shirt at the SuperBowl halfime show And about that -- why doesObama insist on calling the group ISIL when ev-eryone else on the planet calls it ISIS Is it a speechimpediment thing Is he trying to convince us thathe knows more than we do just because he uses adifferent name Or -- and this is a scary thought-- maybe hes planning to destroy the IndianaShelter or Illiterate Lawyers and weve all just beenmisunderstanding I mean yeah lawyers shouldknow how to read I get it but utter destructionseems a bit harsh

I also thought it was interesting -- no make thatprooundly disturbing -- that the President startedone o his sentences with My ellow Americans asi invoking a Richard Nixon image would somehowreassure the nation that everything possible is beingdone to combat a threatening and dangerous en-emy Because as we all remember -- at least those ous who were born beore the country realized thatBob Dylan really cant sing -- Nixon implementeda strategy known as Vietnamization in whichAmerican advisors were supposed to teach SouthVietnamese people who knew less about moderncombat techniques than Hagar the Horrible howto deeat a determined North Vietnamese orcewith sticks and some paper lea1047298ets dropped outo a helicopter In an inamous policy that datesback arther than the start o that last sentence itailed more miserably than Mason Crosbys game-

winning 1047297eld goal try against Detroit last monthWow Military history and proessional ootball

in one vaguely effective metaphor And they said

it couldnt be doneWhat cant be done at least in my opinion and

that o all the hawkish members o the right-wingCongressional caucus is deeat ISIS with the cur-rent strategy o drone strikes random bombingSpecial Forces operations (whatever the heck that

entails) and hoping that the terrorists run out osuicide bombers beore the Middle East runs outo mosques public markets schools and hotelsthat can be blown up Instead o direct aggressiveand massive-i-necessary military interventionwere relying on such tactics as passive economicsanctions against Yemeni government offi cials whomay be selling cotton to ISIS to make comortableand loose-1047297tting underwear or militant 1047297ghtersor requiring that SA offi cials at airports aroundthe country now politely ask Arab women i theresany possible chance that they might now be orhave ever considered carrying out global jihadwhile posing as a Pakistani woman studying to bea home ec teacher

I will say or the record that I have generallysupported President Obama in his seven years inthe White House his Chicago Bears support asideHowever on this issue I believe he has shownless leadership than a vegan at a pork producersconvention When this country most needs a com-

mander-in-chie whos willing to use the

$560 billion annual US deense budgetor what its there or were getting a guywho seems to be thinking Geez just 11more months to go and Ill be out o hereso the history books can blame the waron ISIL on somebody else

Its not that Im pro-war not by anymeans but sometimes a menace comesalong that is so rightening and capableo causing global terror and sufferingthat world leaders must act I mean Iremember the time in my childhoodsandbox when me and my green plastic

army soldiers were enjoying seemingly endlesspeaceul times when a blue army suddenlyappeared (a whole bag o them as a Christmaspresent ironically) and I suddenly had to makethe call o whether to stop the invasion either by

ull-on combat or to battle the insidious threat lessaggressively by lobbying Congress to pass legisla-tion that would raise the sales tax on bags o bluearmy guys thereby limiting their numbers overyou know say the next 10 years or so

Well you can bet which action I chose andits probably likely that some blue army guybody parts are still buried where my sandboxbattle1047297eld once stood under the box elder treesin our yard Let our President heed that historicallesson that some enemies o peace and reedomcannot be beaten by words and sanctions andmind-numbingly ineffective policies based onaLets cross our 1047297ngers and hope they go awaymission statement

I mean just think had I not conronted theblue army guy menace 40 years ago I might nowbe a screwed-up graying nobody pretending hes

an expert on oreign policyOh shaddup

2 ndash Wednesday December 9 2015 WINTER SPORTS PREVIEW

Loyal head boys basketball coach Rob Love has been

making it a point in practices to have his players look upat the individual school sports banners on the wall andto have them notice that ldquo1968rdquo is the last number on theboys basketball programrsquos conference championship list

ldquoI keep pointing it out and saying lsquoThat number canrsquotsurviversquordquo Love said ldquoWersquove got to put another numberup thererdquo

The Greyhounds are off to a 1-1 start in their questto become the first conference champs in the sport in48 years They beat Granton on Dec 4 after losing topreseason favorite Marshfield Columbus and Love saidthis yearrsquos team is ldquostrides aheadrdquo of the 2014-15 versionthat ended up with an 8-8 mark and fifth-place finish in theEastern Cloverbelt Love has some starting experienceback in his lineup and several talented underclassmenwho will see significant playing time and the team shouldimprove as the youngsters learn the speed of the varsitygame

Love has to replace graduates Ryley Fischer LoganGenteman and Tyler Prust who all were significant

contributors a year ago Back in his starting lineup are junior guard Riley Geiger and 6rsquo4rdquo swingman CameronBrussow who give the Greyhounds a potent 1-2 scoringpunch both from the perimeter and the lane SeniorDerrick Howard also returns to the front line to battlefor rebounds and points and seniors Ben Zimmermanand Marcus Genteman will share one starting spotdepending on a given nightrsquos opponent Sophomore LukeBogdonovich is the other starting guard

Underclassmen who will play important minutesinclude sophomores Waylon Froeba Elliot Genteman andJordan Radue and freshman Quinn Brussow Theyrsquoll alsoplay with the junior varsity team but Love will need themfor varsity minutes for depth Senior Josh Zupanc out forthe sport for the first time will get some minutes as well

In Geiger and Cameron Brussow Loyal has a pair ofplayers who can easily post 20-point nights Geiger the2015 WIAA Division 5 state tournament 3-point shootingchampion is even more accurate from behind the arcthan last year Love said

ldquoThe pleasant surprise has been Riley Geigerrsquosperimeter gamerdquo Love said of the early seasondevelopments ldquoHersquos as good as Irsquove seen him Riley hasnrsquotmissed a beat I didnrsquot think hersquod get better but he hasrdquo

Brussow can also bury shots from 3-point range butdefenders had best be careful so he doesnrsquot drive pastthem A tall player with ball-handling skills Brussowcan score from anywhere

ldquoHe doesnrsquot have to play post because he can handlethe ballrdquo Love said ldquoCameron is a kid who can create hisown shot and thatrsquos a unique thing He has pretty highaspirations this yearrdquo

Bogdonovich who was ineligible to play last year aftertransferring to Loyal will bring the Greyhounds a much-needed third scoring option

ldquoWhen our two scoring leaders get things going weexpect defenses to adjust to guard Cameron and RileyrdquoLove said ldquoLuke has a great opportunity to expose thoseadjustments Hersquos got a real high basketball IQ Hersquos calmHe doesnrsquot get rattled His fundamental skills are reallyreally strongrdquo

Love does have some concerns about depth With new

WIAA rule changes for two 18-minutes halves insteadof four 8-minute quarters plus more emphasis on hand-checking players could get in foul trouble

ldquoFouls are my biggest concernrdquo the coach said ldquoIf ourtop three or four get in foul trouble we have guys whocan play but not play the same wayrdquo

That situation should ease some as the seasonprogresses and the younger players gain experience

Also Love said ldquoWersquove had to change the way we playdefense because of the way theyrsquore calling foulsrdquo Loyalwill back away from its aggressive full-court pressureand settle back more to conserve fouls

Even though he has a group of players with good skillsLove said he is still preaching the necessity of taking careof the basketball when the team is on offense

ldquoBall security is priority one two and threerdquo he saidldquoWe have to secure the ball more We have to understandthe value of every possessionrdquo

A pair of intangibles the Greyhounds will use as theytry to match up with the conference favorites are a highbasketball IQ and leadership Love said this group knowsthe game and can benefit from that

ldquoSome of the boys think basketball It makes sense tothemrdquo Love said

Geiger and Cameron Brussow will provide theleadership both in scoring and as floor captains

ldquoOur floor leaders were sophomores last year andtheyrsquore more experienced this yearrdquo Love said ldquoWersquorein good shape Wersquore strides ahead of where we werelast yearrdquo

Love sees Columbus and defending champion Spenceras the teams to beat in the ECC this year Neillsville andLoyal should be also be near the top of the pile when thedust settles with a key for the Greyhounds being ableto keep their leaders injury-free and out of foul trouble

ldquoWersquove got to keep some of our kids on the floorrdquoLove said

T h e L o y a l g i r l sbasketball team came

so close last season todefeating annual nemesisW i s c o n s i n R a p i d sAssumption in a WIAADivision 5 sectional semi-final game Will this bethe year the Greyhoundsfinally get over theAssumption hump to takea big step toward the statetournament

It rsquo s very early int h e s e a s o n b u t t h eGreyhounds proved theyare to be taken seriouslythis season by pushingAssumption to the wireagain in a Thanksgivingweekend tournament Alast-second shot that justmissed would have liftedLoyal over the Royals inthat one but the game atleast showed area teamsthat Loyal is a legitimatecontender again thiswinter To take the nextstep Loyal has to developits bench said head coachMike Rueth and playthrough a brutal non-conference schedule thatincludes the early season1 and 2 ranked Division5 teams in the state

Loyal finished 22-4overall last year and wonits first Eastern CloverbeltConference championship

The stellar season endedwith a 56-52 sectional lossto Assumption a gamein which the Greyhoundsovercame a double digit deficit in the second half toalmost steal a win That team included now-departedseniors Missy Benz Jaelynn Young and Katie Hoeserthree players who will all be difficult to replace Havingnew reserves step in will be a key to Loyalrsquos 2015-16season Rueth said

Loyalrsquos starting five is as strong as ever Senior pointguard Devyn Schoonover and junior front-line playersMorgan Reinwand and Karsyn Rueth are all back intheir starting roles with a summer of competitive AAUbasketball behind them

ldquoYou can see the time that those kids put inrdquo coachRueth said

Moving into the starting lineup this year are seniorsJaedyn Pieper and Ryleigh Wilke two players who werea part of the main rotation last year They have plenty

of experience the coach said and have already proventhemselves as capable starters in early games this year

ldquoThey passed the test on the first nightrdquo Rueth saidldquoRight now our starting five really gets itrdquo

Repeat ECC title and more are on Loyal girls teamrsquos list of goals

Amanda Zettler Alexis Dietsche (back) Hailey Rueth Bailey Parker Karsyn Rueth Ryleigh Wilke and BryannaRayhorn

Players who Rueth is counting on to step in withvaluable contributions will include senior post playerBailey Parker who played on the varsity last year andknows the system well and freshman Hailey Rueth ayet-unproven player who will be counted on to play alow-post spot and contribute on defense and rebounding

ldquoShe has all the ability in the worldrdquo Rueth said ldquoWersquollwant her to be an offensive and defensive rebounder anda defensive specialist for us What she could do for us isall the little thingsrdquo

Others who will see varsity time include seniorAmanda Zettler junior Alexis Dietsche and sophomoreBryanna Rayhorn Their development and contributionswill be important because games are longer now with therule change to halves intend of quarters and an increasedemphasis on preventing contact on the court

They have to fill a rolerdquo Rueth said of his reservesldquoBecause of the way things are being called with thenew rules you have to have a bench Theyrsquore just callingeverything so tight nowrdquo

Having an experiencedstarting team at the

beginning of the seasonis a definite advantageRueth said because hedidnrsquot have to start withbasics However it willtake some time for thereserve players to catchup and being patient untilthey do will be important

ldquoWhen you start yourfirst practice yoursquore goingat full speed right fromthe beginningrdquo Ruethsaid ldquoThatrsquos where ourreserves are a little bitbehind Our starting five isquality We just donrsquot havethe bench we had last yearbut I think we can Wersquoregoing to get them thererdquo

Rueth believes thisyearrsquos team again has thetalent to win a conferencechampionship and somegoals are in sight beyondthat Loyal has alreadybeaten perennial ECCpower Neillsville andexpects competition fromOwen-Withee and Spencerdown the road

ldquoTherersquos no doubt wecould repeat as conferencechamps but things have togo our wayrdquo the coach saidldquoTheir (players) goals areto set on being conferencechampions againrdquo

The players also want to

win the conference cross-ver title game this yearLast winter they werebeaten by a Fall Creek

team that advanced to the state tournamentTo get his Greyhounds prepared for the inevitable

tough competition in the WIAA post-season playoffsRueth put together a difficult non-conference schedulethat includes the Assumption tournament a non-conference game against a strong Elk Mound team anda January Saturday road trip to take on Barneveld thedefending D5 state champ that is again ranked 1 Ruethis hoping that schedule will help it improve enough toget past the playoff roadblock it has encountered thepast few seasons

ldquoWersquore hoping that our non-conference schedule isgoing to get us over the humprdquo the coach said

To repeat Spencer needs young players to develop quicklyThe 2014-15 Spencer

boys basketball teamthat won the EasternCloverbelt Conferencetitle with a 14-2 leaguerecord was a mature onewith several players whohad been varsity startersfor two or even threeyears The 2015-16 teamthat will try to repeat asconference champs is notas experienced and maytake some time to developbefore itrsquos ready to play itsbest ball

The start of Spencerrsquosseason has been delayedby the football teamrsquos runto the state title gameThe Rockets postponed

their first two scheduledgames and were to openthe season with a Dec8 non-conference gameagainst Edgar Once theschedule begins coachRandy Recknerrsquos squadwill be faced with thetask of getting somenewcomers up to speedto complement a startingline-up that still includessome varsity veterans

Spencer has 2014-15 ECC player of the year Bobby Pilzback for one more season and he again will be reliedupon for his scoring abilities With starters Miles WeberNate Mercier and Mitchell Susa all gone via graduationPilzrsquo points will be even more critical this year asReckner looks for ways to bolster the teamrsquos offensivepunch Itrsquos not helping any that projected starting guard

Noah Zastrow and post player Dakota Andreae are bothlost for significant time with football-related injurieswhich seriously crimps the Rocketsrsquo depth

Joining Pilz on the starting squad will be Ryan Bussea senior who will be starting for the third-straight year

seniors Calvin Lenz and Jonny Tomke and sophomoreAaron Pankratz Lenz though not a starter in the pastplayed a crucial role on last yearrsquos team and is a versatilescorer who can defend Tomke is athletic and ldquocan helpus in a lot of waysrdquo Reckner said

Those players are proven at the varsity level whilePankratz will get his first taste of it this season Hersquoll be

the teamrsquos starting point guard and his skills as a ballhandler will be tested

ldquoWersquore asking a lot of himrdquo Reckner said ldquoHersquos avery smart kidrdquo

Others who will play in the main rotation will include

sophomores Jack Bezlyk and Jacob Miller Both of them

were important parts of a successful junior varsityteam a year ago and will be called upon to step up thenext level

Bezlyk should add some offenseldquoI think hersquos going to surprise a lot of people with

his scoring abilityrdquo Reckner said ldquoHersquos pretty athleticrdquoMiller is a post player with natural rebounding

instinctsldquoHersquos got the knack of finding the ballrdquo the coach

saidFinding new sources of of fense will be a key for the

Rockets as Susa and Mercier both averaged in doublefigures last year

ldquoWersquove got to replace a lot of scoringrdquo Reckner saidand Pilz is the most likely source

ldquoWersquore going to have to depend on him a lotrdquo Recknersaid with Busse and Lenz also being asked to pick uptheir offensive contributions

Adding to the challenge of repeating as conferencechamps is the relative youth of this team Reckner

has been spoiled in recent years with a plentitude ofexperience but thatrsquos not the case this winter

ldquoI had 2- and 3-year starters last year This year wersquorea little more inexperiencedrdquo Reckner said ldquoTherersquos a lotof teaching going on with the younger guysrdquo

Depth could be a problem for Spencer especially earlyin the season while the sophomores are growing intotheir new roles With Zastrow probably not likely to playuntil late in the season and Andreae out for probably amonth Spencer will have to rely on young players tolearn quickly

ldquoOur depth could be an issuerdquo the coach said ldquoWeprobably would be 9-deep with those two Now wersquoreprobably seven or eight just because of our inexperienceOur conference is going to be really good Hopefully they(younger players) can learn on the flyrdquo

Marshfield Columbus is looking like Spencerrsquos mainchallenge to a repeat ECC title with Neillsville andOwen-Withee also looking strong Reckner said ForSpencer to be atop the standings again at seasonrsquos end

a lot has to fall into placeldquoWe need to be consistent we need to gel as a teamrdquo

Reckner said ldquoWe need to grow up fast In any year tobe a conference champ yoursquove got to catch some breaksrdquo

Rockets girls team off to solid start more growth expected

The 2015-16 Spencer girls basketball team (front from left) Kallie Reckner Macie WeberSydney Kind Nadia King (back) Sabrina Vircks Sadie Mercier Katie Fleischman Lexi

Baehr Jessica Becker Courtney Buss and Liz Endreas

Just a few games into the 2015-16 season Spencer headgirls basketball coach Brian Abel has seen significantimprovement over last year in the way his team isperforming The Rockets are getting mentioned by othercoaches in the Eastern Cloverbelt Conference as a teamto watch out for as Spencer blends decent height and agood outside game into an improving program

Abelrsquos teams went 6-17 two years ago and 6-16 lastyear but this yearrsquos group is off to a 2-1 start with ECCwins over Colby and Marshfield Columbus Those areteams that swept the Rockets last season so Abel has agood sense that things are improving in his programThe players are familiar now with Abelrsquos coaching styleand terminolog y he said and can focus more on playingbasketball

This yearrsquos starting squad is an interesting mix ofinside-outside skills Senior Nadia King returns at thepoint while sophomore guard Lexi Baehr is in her secondvarsity year with perimeter shooting prowess JuniorCourtney Buss mans another spot while seniors Macie

Weber and Sydney Kindgive the Rockets a stronginside presence

Kallie Reckner andLiz Endreas may also getsome starts and will be inthe main rotation KatieFleischmann and JessicaBecker will also get someminutes while SabrinaVircks and Sadie Mercierwill split varsityjuniorvarsity time at least in theearly part of the season

Abel has to find ways toreplace the contributionsof Abby Varsho MelissaLehman and KaitlynWalter who all graduatedHe still has plenty ofreturning players to turnto though and that hashelped in the early season

ldquoTherersquos a lot lessteaching this year becausewersquove got a lot comingbackrdquo Abel said ldquoYou cansee it with our fast startrdquo

Spencer will continue

to run a motion offenselooking for the openperimeter shot or dumpingthe ball inside to Weber or Kind if they have a favorablematchup on the post If the shooters are on the systemworks well

ldquoIt keeps that inside-outside game working Itrsquos a goodbalance so farrdquo Abel said

Defensively the Rockets prefer to fall into a half-court2-3 zone but will come out to play man-to-man at timesThe Rockets want to prevent easy fast-break points andtry to get back in defensive positions

ldquoWe donrsquot want teams to run on usrdquo Abel said ldquoWersquore

very good at getting up and down the court I feel thisteam is very versatile in what we can dordquo

Depth-wise Abel says he has enough quality playersto substitute as needed

ldquoWe have decent depth Itrsquos not shallow by any meansrdquohe said ldquoWe can go eight or nine deep and be alrightrdquo

The Rockets still have to work on some fundamentalsto compete with top teams

ldquoWersquove got to box out defensivelyrdquo he said ldquoOn offensetherersquos an emphasis on limiting turnovers We hadproblems last year with passing under pressurerdquo

One thing Abel is looking for is steady improvementThe year is off to a good start but he wants to maintainthe development as the season progresses

ldquoItrsquos definitely been an improvement from the yearbeforerdquo he said of the teamrsquos early season ldquoI think thegirls just have another year under the system Itrsquos thatcontinual growthrdquo

One goal for Abel this season is to sweep conference

teams that Spencer split its two games with last yearand at least split with those who beat Spencer twiceThatrsquos already happened with the wins over Colby andColumbus

Abel sees Loyal Neillsville and Owen-Withee asthe usual conference favorites Spencer may not be tothe level of those programs yet he said but continuedimprovement will narrow the gap If attitude meansanything his team will be competitive

ldquoThey put the time in They donrsquot want to loserdquo Abelsaid of his players

Spencer-Columbus wrestlers looking for big results this yearTwo seasons ago Spencer head wrestling coach Jake

Zschernitz had no one to fill his lightweight positionsLast year he had the lightweights but then not theheavyweights Finally this season with the resumptionof a co-op program with Marshfield ColumbusZschernitz has everybody he needs and the Rockets lookto be strong

With three wrestlers returning this season afterqualifying for the state meet a year ago -- plus the additionof Columbus athletes and a few underclassmen -- theRockets look to be headed for a strong 2015-16 campaignThey wonrsquot have to overcome the forfeit points theyallowed in the last two seasons and that has Zschernitzthinking the Rockets can repeat as Cloverbelt Conferencedual meet champions and also take the conferencetournament

Spencer-Columbus will be solid at several weightsReturning are 2015 state qualifiers sophomore BryceShaw at 126 pounds senior Tim Bauer at 138 andsophomore Hunter Luepke at 195 Seniors HunterHildebrandt (170) Austin Post (132) and Nate Neumann

(160) also return to the varsity lineupColumbus freshmen Jake Dick (106) and Zach Wheeler-Savoy (113) will take over the lightweight spots whilesophomore Dominick Wichlacz will be at 120 SophomoreJeremiah Giles is slotted in at 145 and freshman CarsonHildebrandt will be at 152 Senior Jake Hainzlsperger willman the 182-pound class senior Elijah Welsh and juniorMax Johnson will contend at 220 and freshman LoganZschernitz and senior Ryan Schauer are the heavyweightchallengers

Shaw placed sixth at state last year the highest finishever for a Spencer freshman Bauer worked hard overthe summer to get even better than his state-qualifyingform of a year ago and Luepke is back as a defendingconference champion and state qualifier HunterHildebrandt and Neumann are also 2015 conferencetournament champions

ldquoThat whole group is going to be a big part of oursuccessrdquo Zschernitz said

Newcomers expected to help include Carson

Hildebrandt and Logan Zschernitz who both haveconsiderable youth wrestling experience Welsh couldbe an interesting wrestler to watch and is someonewho the coach describes as ldquoa naturalrdquo but hasnrsquot beenable to compete at the varsity level because Columbusdidnrsquot have a program Austin Post will bring his footballathleticism to the mat as well and Johnson -- who did notgo out for wrestling last year -- was a sectional qualifieras a freshman

The addition of the Columbus wrestlers at last givesZschernitz the athletes he needs at the right weights

ldquoIf we didnrsquot have them the lightweights would behard to fill againrdquo the coach said

The addition of Columbus will push the Rocketprogram into Division 2 for the state tournament seriesbut Zschernitz doesnrsquot see that as an issue In fact movingout of D3 means the Rockets can avoid such usual smallschool powerhouses as Stratford and Edgar

Zschernitz expects his team can repeat as Cloverbeltdual meet champs and should be a top contender at theconference meet Last year the Rockets lost to Stanley-Boyd by only a few points partly because it had to forfeitat two weights

Not this year And not only does Zschernitz have a fullteam but he has a group thatrsquos as confident as can be afterthe Spencer-Columbus football team went all the way tothe state championship game Many of the athletes areon both teams

ldquoTop to bottom this is definitely the best team wersquovehadrdquo Zschernitz said ldquoWersquore fairly solid all the waythrough Wersquore hoping with the success of the footballco-op it carries over to wrestling Wrestling and footballgo hand-in-hand in my opinion I think the run in footballhelped just to show them they can get to that level if theywant to workrdquo

Greenwood head boys basketball coach EricJohnsonrsquos entire starting five from last year put ona graduation robe in May and headed off to newadventures Left behind in the Greenwood program area few experienced varsity players a wealth of talentedunderclassmen and a question mark as to how fast thisyearrsquos team can develop

In Johnsonrsquos first year as head coach his senior-dominated squad posted a 7-9 record in the EasternCloverbelt Conference and a 10-13 overall mark Gonefrom the group are graduates Booker Bredlau and LoganJohnson who both received all-conference mention andfellow starters Dane Toburen Delten Schmitz and DylanNorth To say Johnson has a rebuilding job on his handsthis year may be just a bit of an understatement

he does have a pair of seniors back in Decker Lindnerand Sam Revier who saw considerable varsity time in2014-15 Joining them as starters will be juniors TrevorSerocki and Zach Zimbauer and sophomore DevinToburen Junior Walker Wuethrich will usually be thefirst guy off the bench with senior Aaron Lindner

junior Cole Lucas and sophomore Tyler Genteman alsofiguring into the rotationldquoWersquore inexperienced at the varsity levelrdquo Johnson

said ldquoThe kids are going to have to catch up to the gamespeed Irsquove got basketball talent out there Hopefully byChristmas time the kids will be caught up and we canbe competitive in every gamerdquo

Greenwood started the season with a non-conferenceloss to Abbotsford and ECC losses to Colby andNeillsville That result is to be expected at least for awhile as the players learn what it takes to compete atthe varsity pace

ldquoThey understand the offense and defense andwhat I want out of themrdquo Johnson said ldquoThe kidsall understand the offense really well Itrsquos just gettingthem up to game speed and you canrsquot simulate that inpracticerdquo

Serocki is showing solid skills at point guard andRevier and Decker Lindner should give the Indiansrebounding defense and inside scoring Toburen is a

versatile player who should develop as he gets varsityminutes

ldquoHe can score inside and outsiderdquo the coach saidldquoHe can handle the ball and rebound He gives me alittle of everythingrdquo

Greenwood will not be able to rely on a strongperimeter game as the young shooters are still tryingto find their range It could be a streaky season as aplayer or two gets hot then cools down

ldquoI donrsquot have a pure shooterrdquo Johnson said ldquoI haveguys who can stroke it but they can lose the stroke just as fastrdquo

Ball security is another area of concern The Indianshave averaged more turnovers than Johnson wants inthe teamrsquos first games Fouls have also been an issuebut that is partly due to officialsrsquo new emphasis onhand-checking and a switch to longer halves intend ofquarters

Johnson said he expects a balanced scoring attackat least until someone emerges as a consistent source

of pointsldquoNobody is really going to stand outrdquo he said ldquoI have

not found that guy yet I hope either Devin or Trevorwill develop into that guyrdquo

Johnson sees Marshfield Columbus as the best teamin the ECC this year with defending champion SpencerNeillsville Owen-Withee and Loyal all figuring to be inthe top half

ldquoHopefully we can fall in somewhere behind thatrdquohe said

Greenwood head basketball coach Carey Petrirsquosfirst year at the helm of the program was not the mostpleasant one with most of her starting and contributingplayers suspended for half the season and the juniorvarsity players called up to fill in One positive fromthat experience is that several young players got varsitytime -- albeit before they were ready -- and that shouldtranslate to a more mature team this season

Petrirsquos Indians are off to a 1-3 start this season as theytry to put last yearrsquos season in the rear-view mirror Theteam took a major blow before this season even startedwhen star senior Taylor Opelt injured her knee in anopen gym workout She was last yearrsquos leading scorerand would have been the centerpiece of Petrirsquos offensethis season

Petrirsquos main group of players this year includesseniors Ashley Walker Lexi Hinker and Renee Herdrich junior Kassidy Lamovec and sophomores Kelly Nielsenand Kaylee Learman Seniors Kaylee Meyer NatalieHackel and Kristyn Nigon are also getting considerableminutes early in the season

In addition to losing Opelt Petri also has to replacegraduates Morgan Hinker and Madison Lucas Thatleaves a huge scoring void to fill which Petri willattempt to cover by having the Indians play a slow tempostyle in which they wait patiently for good shots

ldquoWersquore trying to focus on playing our offense andplaying to our tempordquo she said ldquoWersquore trying to slowthings downrdquo

Several of the key players on this yearrsquos team wereforced into varsity action a year ago and that is payingdividends now

ldquoWith those freshmen who played it kind of got thenerves out of the way a little bitrdquo Petri said

With everyone more comfortable in their roles thisyearrsquos team is playing better as a group One of theIndiansrsquo strengths should be cohesion

ldquoI think this year our chemistry our working welltogether is a strengthrdquo Petri said ldquoWersquore coming closeras a teamrdquo

Shooting has been an issue early for the Indians The

team needs improvement from the perimeter the coachsaid as it has little height to set up plays to the post

ldquoThe shooting is getting betterrdquo Petri said ldquoWersquoreworking on itrdquo

The defense is also showing improvement withplayers adjusting to their responsibilities in the man-

Greenwood girls looking for improvement as season progresses

to-man schemeldquoItrsquos definitely better than last yearrdquo Petri said

ldquoWersquore getting to the spots faster We understand the

rotationsrdquoThe players are also aware of the need for better ball

handling One reason for slowing the tempo down is toavoid situations where opponents pressure the Indiansinto turnovers

ldquoOther teams are aggressive and we tend to panicrdquo

Petri saidThe goals for this yearrsquos teams are modest with an

emphasis on improvement Petri said she wants her

team to develop its skills and get better each time outand the wins will come

ldquoIn time we can come together and play our offenserdquoshe said ldquoObviously I want to have a better team thanlast year Winning half our games would be our ultimategoal right nowrdquo

Loyal head boys basketball coach Rob Love has been

making it a point in practices to have his players look upat the individual school sports banners on the wall andto have them notice that ldquo1968rdquo is the last number on theboys basketball programrsquos conference championship list

ldquoI keep pointing it out and saying lsquoThat number canrsquotsurviversquordquo Love said ldquoWersquove got to put another numberup thererdquo

The Greyhounds are off to a 1-1 start in their questto become the first conference champs in the sport in48 years They beat Granton on Dec 4 after losing topreseason favorite Marshfield Columbus and Love saidthis yearrsquos team is ldquostrides aheadrdquo of the 2014-15 versionthat ended up with an 8-8 mark and fifth-place finish in theEastern Cloverbelt Love has some starting experienceback in his lineup and several talented underclassmenwho will see significant playing time and the team shouldimprove as the youngsters learn the speed of the varsitygame

Love has to replace graduates Ryley Fischer LoganGenteman and Tyler Prust who all were significant

contributors a year ago Back in his starting lineup are junior guard Riley Geiger and 6rsquo4rdquo swingman CameronBrussow who give the Greyhounds a potent 1-2 scoringpunch both from the perimeter and the lane SeniorDerrick Howard also returns to the front line to battlefor rebounds and points and seniors Ben Zimmermanand Marcus Genteman will share one starting spotdepending on a given nightrsquos opponent Sophomore LukeBogdonovich is the other starting guard

Underclassmen who will play important minutesinclude sophomores Waylon Froeba Elliot Genteman andJordan Radue and freshman Quinn Brussow Theyrsquoll alsoplay with the junior varsity team but Love will need themfor varsity minutes for depth Senior Josh Zupanc out forthe sport for the first time will get some minutes as well

In Geiger and Cameron Brussow Loyal has a pair ofplayers who can easily post 20-point nights Geiger the2015 WIAA Division 5 state tournament 3-point shootingchampion is even more accurate from behind the arcthan last year Love said

ldquoThe pleasant surprise has been Riley Geigerrsquosperimeter gamerdquo Love said of the early seasondevelopments ldquoHersquos as good as Irsquove seen him Riley hasnrsquotmissed a beat I didnrsquot think hersquod get better but he hasrdquo

Brussow can also bury shots from 3-point range butdefenders had best be careful so he doesnrsquot drive pastthem A tall player with ball-handling skills Brussowcan score from anywhere

ldquoHe doesnrsquot have to play post because he can handlethe ballrdquo Love said ldquoCameron is a kid who can create hisown shot and thatrsquos a unique thing He has pretty highaspirations this yearrdquo

Bogdonovich who was ineligible to play last year aftertransferring to Loyal will bring the Greyhounds a much-needed third scoring option

ldquoWhen our two scoring leaders get things going weexpect defenses to adjust to guard Cameron and RileyrdquoLove said ldquoLuke has a great opportunity to expose thoseadjustments Hersquos got a real high basketball IQ Hersquos calmHe doesnrsquot get rattled His fundamental skills are reallyreally strongrdquo

Love does have some concerns about depth With new

WIAA rule changes for two 18-minutes halves insteadof four 8-minute quarters plus more emphasis on hand-checking players could get in foul trouble

ldquoFouls are my biggest concernrdquo the coach said ldquoIf ourtop three or four get in foul trouble we have guys whocan play but not play the same wayrdquo

That situation should ease some as the seasonprogresses and the younger players gain experience

Also Love said ldquoWersquove had to change the way we playdefense because of the way theyrsquore calling foulsrdquo Loyalwill back away from its aggressive full-court pressureand settle back more to conserve fouls

Even though he has a group of players with good skillsLove said he is still preaching the necessity of taking careof the basketball when the team is on offense

ldquoBall security is priority one two and threerdquo he saidldquoWe have to secure the ball more We have to understandthe value of every possessionrdquo

A pair of intangibles the Greyhounds will use as theytry to match up with the conference favorites are a highbasketball IQ and leadership Love said this group knowsthe game and can benefit from that

ldquoSome of the boys think basketball It makes sense tothemrdquo Love said

Geiger and Cameron Brussow will provide theleadership both in scoring and as floor captains

ldquoOur floor leaders were sophomores last year andtheyrsquore more experienced this yearrdquo Love said ldquoWersquorein good shape Wersquore strides ahead of where we werelast yearrdquo

Love sees Columbus and defending champion Spenceras the teams to beat in the ECC this year Neillsville andLoyal should be also be near the top of the pile when thedust settles with a key for the Greyhounds being ableto keep their leaders injury-free and out of foul trouble

ldquoWersquove got to keep some of our kids on the floorrdquoLove said

Greyhound boys look to make their mark in competitive ECC

T h e L o y a l g i r l sbasketball team came

so close last season todefeating annual nemesisW i s c o n s i n R a p i d sAssumption in a WIAADivision 5 sectional semi-final game Will this bethe year the Greyhoundsfinally get over theAssumption hump to takea big step toward the statetournament

It rsquo s very early int h e s e a s o n b u t t h eGreyhounds proved theyare to be taken seriouslythis season by pushingAssumption to the wireagain in a Thanksgivingweekend tournament Alast-second shot that justmissed would have liftedLoyal over the Royals inthat one but the game atleast showed area teamsthat Loyal is a legitimatecontender again thiswinter To take the nextstep Loyal has to developits bench said head coachMike Rueth and playthrough a brutal non-conference schedule thatincludes the early season1 and 2 ranked Division5 teams in the state

Loyal finished 22-4overall last year and wonits first Eastern CloverbeltConference championship

The stellar season endedwith a 56-52 sectional lossto Assumption a gamein which the Greyhoundsovercame a double digit deficit in the second half toalmost steal a win That team included now-departedseniors Missy Benz Jaelynn Young and Katie Hoeserthree players who will all be difficult to replace Havingnew reserves step in will be a key to Loyalrsquos 2015-16season Rueth said

Loyalrsquos starting five is as strong as ever Senior pointguard Devyn Schoonover and junior front-line playersMorgan Reinwand and Karsyn Rueth are all back intheir starting roles with a summer of competitive AAUbasketball behind them

ldquoYou can see the time that those kids put inrdquo coachRueth said

Moving into the starting lineup this year are seniorsJaedyn Pieper and Ryleigh Wilke two players who werea part of the main rotation last year They have plenty

of experience the coach said and have already proventhemselves as capable starters in early games this year

ldquoThey passed the test on the first nightrdquo Rueth saidldquoRight now our starting five really gets itrdquo

Repeat ECC title and more are on Loyal girls teamrsquos list of goals

Amanda Zettler Alexis Dietsche (back) Hailey Rueth Bailey Parker Karsyn Rueth Ryleigh Wilke and BryannaRayhorn

Players who Rueth is counting on to step in withvaluable contributions will include senior post playerBailey Parker who played on the varsity last year andknows the system well and freshman Hailey Rueth ayet-unproven player who will be counted on to play alow-post spot and contribute on defense and rebounding

ldquoShe has all the ability in the worldrdquo Rueth said ldquoWersquollwant her to be an offensive and defensive rebounder anda defensive specialist for us What she could do for us isall the little thingsrdquo

Others who will see varsity time include seniorAmanda Zettler junior Alexis Dietsche and sophomoreBryanna Rayhorn Their development and contributionswill be important because games are longer now with therule change to halves intend of quarters and an increasedemphasis on preventing contact on the court

They have to fill a rolerdquo Rueth said of his reservesldquoBecause of the way things are being called with thenew rules you have to have a bench Theyrsquore just callingeverything so tight nowrdquo

Having an experiencedstarting team at the

beginning of the seasonis a definite advantageRueth said because hedidnrsquot have to start withbasics However it willtake some time for thereserve players to catchup and being patient untilthey do will be important

ldquoWhen you start yourfirst practice yoursquore goingat full speed right fromthe beginningrdquo Ruethsaid ldquoThatrsquos where ourreserves are a little bitbehind Our starting five isquality We just donrsquot havethe bench we had last yearbut I think we can Wersquoregoing to get them thererdquo

Rueth believes thisyearrsquos team again has thetalent to win a conferencechampionship and somegoals are in sight beyondthat Loyal has alreadybeaten perennial ECCpower Neillsville andexpects competition fromOwen-Withee and Spencerdown the road

ldquoTherersquos no doubt wecould repeat as conferencechamps but things have togo our wayrdquo the coach saidldquoTheir (players) goals areto set on being conferencechampions againrdquo

The players also want to

win the conference cross-ver title game this yearLast winter they werebeaten by a Fall Creek

team that advanced to the state tournamentTo get his Greyhounds prepared for the inevitable

tough competition in the WIAA post-season playoffsRueth put together a difficult non-conference schedulethat includes the Assumption tournament a non-conference game against a strong Elk Mound team anda January Saturday road trip to take on Barneveld thedefending D5 state champ that is again ranked 1 Ruethis hoping that schedule will help it improve enough toget past the playoff roadblock it has encountered thepast few seasons

ldquoWersquore hoping that our non-conference schedule isgoing to get us over the humprdquo the coach said

To repeat Spencer needs young players to develop quicklyThe 2014-15 Spencer

boys basketball teamthat won the EasternCloverbelt Conferencetitle with a 14-2 leaguerecord was a mature onewith several players whohad been varsity startersfor two or even threeyears The 2015-16 teamthat will try to repeat asconference champs is notas experienced and maytake some time to developbefore itrsquos ready to play itsbest ball

The start of Spencerrsquosseason has been delayedby the football teamrsquos runto the state title gameThe Rockets postponed

their first two scheduledgames and were to openthe season with a Dec8 non-conference gameagainst Edgar Once theschedule begins coachRandy Recknerrsquos squadwill be faced with thetask of getting somenewcomers up to speedto complement a startingline-up that still includessome varsity veterans

Spencer has 2014-15 ECC player of the year Bobby Pilzback for one more season and he again will be reliedupon for his scoring abilities With starters Miles WeberNate Mercier and Mitchell Susa all gone via graduationPilzrsquo points will be even more critical this year asReckner looks for ways to bolster the teamrsquos offensivepunch Itrsquos not helping any that projected starting guard

Noah Zastrow and post player Dakota Andreae are bothlost for significant time with football-related injurieswhich seriously crimps the Rocketsrsquo depth

Joining Pilz on the starting squad will be Ryan Bussea senior who will be starting for the third-straight year

seniors Calvin Lenz and Jonny Tomke and sophomoreAaron Pankratz Lenz though not a starter in the pastplayed a crucial role on last yearrsquos team and is a versatilescorer who can defend Tomke is athletic and ldquocan helpus in a lot of waysrdquo Reckner said

Those players are proven at the varsity level whilePankratz will get his first taste of it this season Hersquoll be

the teamrsquos starting point guard and his skills as a ballhandler will be tested

ldquoWersquore asking a lot of himrdquo Reckner said ldquoHersquos avery smart kidrdquo

Others who will play in the main rotation will include

sophomores Jack Bezlyk and Jacob Miller Both of them

were important parts of a successful junior varsityteam a year ago and will be called upon to step up thenext level

Bezlyk should add some offenseldquoI think hersquos going to surprise a lot of people with

his scoring abilityrdquo Reckner said ldquoHersquos pretty athleticrdquoMiller is a post player with natural rebounding

instinctsldquoHersquos got the knack of finding the ballrdquo the coach

saidFinding new sources of of fense will be a key for the

Rockets as Susa and Mercier both averaged in doublefigures last year

ldquoWersquove got to replace a lot of scoringrdquo Reckner saidand Pilz is the most likely source

ldquoWersquore going to have to depend on him a lotrdquo Recknersaid with Busse and Lenz also being asked to pick uptheir offensive contributions

Adding to the challenge of repeating as conferencechamps is the relative youth of this team Reckner

has been spoiled in recent years with a plentitude ofexperience but thatrsquos not the case this winter

ldquoI had 2- and 3-year starters last year This year wersquorea little more inexperiencedrdquo Reckner said ldquoTherersquos a lotof teaching going on with the younger guysrdquo

Depth could be a problem for Spencer especially earlyin the season while the sophomores are growing intotheir new roles With Zastrow probably not likely to playuntil late in the season and Andreae out for probably amonth Spencer will have to rely on young players tolearn quickly

ldquoOur depth could be an issuerdquo the coach said ldquoWeprobably would be 9-deep with those two Now wersquoreprobably seven or eight just because of our inexperienceOur conference is going to be really good Hopefully they(younger players) can learn on the flyrdquo

Marshfield Columbus is looking like Spencerrsquos mainchallenge to a repeat ECC title with Neillsville andOwen-Withee also looking strong Reckner said ForSpencer to be atop the standings again at seasonrsquos end

a lot has to fall into placeldquoWe need to be consistent we need to gel as a teamrdquo

Reckner said ldquoWe need to grow up fast In any year tobe a conference champ yoursquove got to catch some breaksrdquo

Rockets girls team off to solid start more growth expected

Just a few games into the 2015-16 season Spencer headgirls basketball coach Brian Abel has seen significantimprovement over last year in the way his team isperforming The Rockets are getting mentioned by othercoaches in the Eastern Cloverbelt Conference as a teamto watch out for as Spencer blends decent height and agood outside game into an improving program

Abelrsquos teams went 6-17 two years ago and 6-16 lastyear but this yearrsquos group is off to a 2-1 start with ECCwins over Colby and Marshfield Columbus Those areteams that swept the Rockets last season so Abel has agood sense that things are improving in his programThe players are familiar now with Abelrsquos coaching styleand terminolog y he said and can focus more on playingbasketball

This yearrsquos starting squad is an interesting mix ofinside-outside skills Senior Nadia King returns at thepoint while sophomore guard Lexi Baehr is in her secondvarsity year with perimeter shooting prowess JuniorCourtney Buss mans another spot while seniors Macie

Weber and Sydney Kindgive the Rockets a stronginside presence

Kallie Reckner andLiz Endreas may also getsome starts and will be inthe main rotation KatieFleischmann and JessicaBecker will also get someminutes while SabrinaVircks and Sadie Mercierwill split varsityjuniorvarsity time at least in theearly part of the season

Abel has to find ways toreplace the contributionsof Abby Varsho MelissaLehman and KaitlynWalter who all graduatedHe still has plenty ofreturning players to turnto though and that hashelped in the early season

ldquoTherersquos a lot lessteaching this year becausewersquove got a lot comingbackrdquo Abel said ldquoYou cansee it with our fast startrdquo

Spencer will continue

to run a motion offenselooking for the openperimeter shot or dumpingthe ball inside to Weber or Kind if they have a favorablematchup on the post If the shooters are on the systemworks well

ldquoIt keeps that inside-outside game working Itrsquos a goodbalance so farrdquo Abel said

Defensively the Rockets prefer to fall into a half-court2-3 zone but will come out to play man-to-man at timesThe Rockets want to prevent easy fast-break points andtry to get back in defensive positions

ldquoWe donrsquot want teams to run on usrdquo Abel said ldquoWersquore

very good at getting up and down the court I feel thisteam is very versatile in what we can dordquo

Depth-wise Abel says he has enough quality playersto substitute as needed

ldquoWe have decent depth Itrsquos not shallow by any meansrdquohe said ldquoWe can go eight or nine deep and be alrightrdquo

The Rockets still have to work on some fundamentalsto compete with top teams

ldquoWersquove got to box out defensivelyrdquo he said ldquoOn offensetherersquos an emphasis on limiting turnovers We hadproblems last year with passing under pressurerdquo

One thing Abel is looking for is steady improvementThe year is off to a good start but he wants to maintainthe development as the season progresses

ldquoItrsquos definitely been an improvement from the yearbeforerdquo he said of the teamrsquos early season ldquoI think thegirls just have another year under the system Itrsquos thatcontinual growthrdquo

One goal for Abel this season is to sweep conference

teams that Spencer split its two games with last yearand at least split with those who beat Spencer twiceThatrsquos already happened with the wins over Colby andColumbus

Abel sees Loyal Neillsville and Owen-Withee asthe usual conference favorites Spencer may not be tothe level of those programs yet he said but continuedimprovement will narrow the gap If attitude meansanything his team will be competitive

ldquoThey put the time in They donrsquot want to loserdquo Abelsaid of his players

Spencer-Columbus wrestlers looking for big results this yearTwo seasons ago Spencer head wrestling coach Jake

Zschernitz had no one to fill his lightweight positionsLast year he had the lightweights but then not theheavyweights Finally this season with the resumptionof a co-op program with Marshfield ColumbusZschernitz has everybody he needs and the Rockets lookto be strong

With three wrestlers returning this season afterqualifying for the state meet a year ago -- plus the additionof Columbus athletes and a few underclassmen -- theRockets look to be headed for a strong 2015-16 campaignThey wonrsquot have to overcome the forfeit points theyallowed in the last two seasons and that has Zschernitzthinking the Rockets can repeat as Cloverbelt Conferencedual meet champions and also take the conferencetournament

Spencer-Columbus will be solid at several weightsReturning are 2015 state qualifiers sophomore BryceShaw at 126 pounds senior Tim Bauer at 138 andsophomore Hunter Luepke at 195 Seniors HunterHildebrandt (170) Austin Post (132) and Nate Neumann

(160) also return to the varsity lineupColumbus freshmen Jake Dick (106) and Zach Wheeler-Savoy (113) will take over the lightweight spots whilesophomore Dominick Wichlacz will be at 120 SophomoreJeremiah Giles is slotted in at 145 and freshman CarsonHildebrandt will be at 152 Senior Jake Hainzlsperger willman the 182-pound class senior Elijah Welsh and juniorMax Johnson will contend at 220 and freshman LoganZschernitz and senior Ryan Schauer are the heavyweightchallengers

Shaw placed sixth at state last year the highest finishever for a Spencer freshman Bauer worked hard overthe summer to get even better than his state-qualifyingform of a year ago and Luepke is back as a defendingconference champion and state qualifier HunterHildebrandt and Neumann are also 2015 conferencetournament champions

ldquoThat whole group is going to be a big part of oursuccessrdquo Zschernitz said

Newcomers expected to help include Carson

Hildebrandt and Logan Zschernitz who both haveconsiderable youth wrestling experience Welsh couldbe an interesting wrestler to watch and is someonewho the coach describes as ldquoa naturalrdquo but hasnrsquot beenable to compete at the varsity level because Columbusdidnrsquot have a program Austin Post will bring his footballathleticism to the mat as well and Johnson -- who did notgo out for wrestling last year -- was a sectional qualifieras a freshman

The addition of the Columbus wrestlers at last givesZschernitz the athletes he needs at the right weights

ldquoIf we didnrsquot have them the lightweights would behard to fill againrdquo the coach said

The addition of Columbus will push the Rocketprogram into Division 2 for the state tournament seriesbut Zschernitz doesnrsquot see that as an issue In fact movingout of D3 means the Rockets can avoid such usual smallschool powerhouses as Stratford and Edgar

Zschernitz expects his team can repeat as Cloverbeltdual meet champs and should be a top contender at theconference meet Last year the Rockets lost to Stanley-Boyd by only a few points partly because it had to forfeitat two weights

Not this year And not only does Zschernitz have a fullteam but he has a group thatrsquos as confident as can be afterthe Spencer-Columbus football team went all the way tothe state championship game Many of the athletes areon both teams

ldquoTop to bottom this is definitely the best team wersquovehadrdquo Zschernitz said ldquoWersquore fairly solid all the waythrough Wersquore hoping with the success of the footballco-op it carries over to wrestling Wrestling and footballgo hand-in-hand in my opinion I think the run in footballhelped just to show them they can get to that level if theywant to workrdquo

6 ndash Wednesday December 9 2015 WINTER SPORTS PREVIEW

Greenwood head boys basketball coach EricJohnsonrsquos entire starting five from last year put ona graduation robe in May and headed off to newadventures Left behind in the Greenwood program area few experienced varsity players a wealth of talentedunderclassmen and a question mark as to how fast thisyearrsquos team can develop

In Johnsonrsquos first year as head coach his senior-dominated squad posted a 7-9 record in the EasternCloverbelt Conference and a 10-13 overall mark Gonefrom the group are graduates Booker Bredlau and LoganJohnson who both received all-conference mention andfellow starters Dane Toburen Delten Schmitz and DylanNorth To say Johnson has a rebuilding job on his handsthis year may be just a bit of an understatement

he does have a pair of seniors back in Decker Lindnerand Sam Revier who saw considerable varsity time in2014-15 Joining them as starters will be juniors TrevorSerocki and Zach Zimbauer and sophomore DevinToburen Junior Walker Wuethrich will usually be thefirst guy off the bench with senior Aaron Lindner

junior Cole Lucas and sophomore Tyler Genteman alsofiguring into the rotationldquoWersquore inexperienced at the varsity levelrdquo Johnson

said ldquoThe kids are going to have to catch up to the gamespeed Irsquove got basketball talent out there Hopefully byChristmas time the kids will be caught up and we canbe competitive in every gamerdquo

Greenwood started the season with a non-conferenceloss to Abbotsford and ECC losses to Colby andNeillsville That result is to be expected at least for awhile as the players learn what it takes to compete atthe varsity pace

ldquoThey understand the offense and defense andwhat I want out of themrdquo Johnson said ldquoThe kidsall understand the offense really well Itrsquos just gettingthem up to game speed and you canrsquot simulate that inpracticerdquo

Serocki is showing solid skills at point guard andRevier and Decker Lindner should give the Indiansrebounding defense and inside scoring Toburen is a

versatile player who should develop as he gets varsityminutes

ldquoHe can score inside and outsiderdquo the coach saidldquoHe can handle the ball and rebound He gives me alittle of everythingrdquo

Greenwood will not be able to rely on a strongperimeter game as the young shooters are still tryingto find their range It could be a streaky season as aplayer or two gets hot then cools down

ldquoI donrsquot have a pure shooterrdquo Johnson said ldquoI haveguys who can stroke it but they can lose the stroke just as fastrdquo

Ball security is another area of concern The Indianshave averaged more turnovers than Johnson wants inthe teamrsquos first games Fouls have also been an issuebut that is partly due to officialsrsquo new emphasis onhand-checking and a switch to longer halves intend ofquarters

Johnson said he expects a balanced scoring attackat least until someone emerges as a consistent source

of pointsldquoNobody is really going to stand outrdquo he said ldquoI have

not found that guy yet I hope either Devin or Trevorwill develop into that guyrdquo

Johnson sees Marshfield Columbus as the best teamin the ECC this year with defending champion SpencerNeillsville Owen-Withee and Loyal all figuring to be inthe top half

ldquoHopefully we can fall in somewhere behind thatrdquohe said

Greenwood head basketball coach Carey Petrirsquosfirst year at the helm of the program was not the mostpleasant one with most of her starting and contributingplayers suspended for half the season and the juniorvarsity players called up to fill in One positive fromthat experience is that several young players got varsitytime -- albeit before they were ready -- and that shouldtranslate to a more mature team this season

Petrirsquos Indians are off to a 1-3 start this season as theytry to put last yearrsquos season in the rear-view mirror Theteam took a major blow before this season even startedwhen star senior Taylor Opelt injured her knee in anopen gym workout She was last yearrsquos leading scorerand would have been the centerpiece of Petrirsquos offensethis season

Petrirsquos main group of players this year includesseniors Ashley Walker Lexi Hinker and Renee Herdrich junior Kassidy Lamovec and sophomores Kelly Nielsenand Kaylee Learman Seniors Kaylee Meyer NatalieHackel and Kristyn Nigon are also getting considerableminutes early in the season

In addition to losing Opelt Petri also has to replacegraduates Morgan Hinker and Madison Lucas Thatleaves a huge scoring void to fill which Petri willattempt to cover by having the Indians play a slow tempostyle in which they wait patiently for good shots

ldquoWersquore trying to focus on playing our offense andplaying to our tempordquo she said ldquoWersquore trying to slowthings downrdquo

Several of the key players on this yearrsquos team wereforced into varsity action a year ago and that is payingdividends now

ldquoWith those freshmen who played it kind of got thenerves out of the way a little bitrdquo Petri said

With everyone more comfortable in their roles thisyearrsquos team is playing better as a group One of theIndiansrsquo strengths should be cohesion

ldquoI think this year our chemistry our working welltogether is a strengthrdquo Petri said ldquoWersquore coming closeras a teamrdquo

Shooting has been an issue early for the Indians The

team needs improvement from the perimeter the coachsaid as it has little height to set up plays to the post

ldquoThe shooting is getting betterrdquo Petri said ldquoWersquoreworking on itrdquo

The defense is also showing improvement withplayers adjusting to their responsibilities in the man-

Greenwood girls looking for improvement as season progresses

to-man schemeldquoItrsquos definitely better than last yearrdquo Petri said

ldquoWersquore getting to the spots faster We understand the

rotationsrdquoThe players are also aware of the need for better ball

handling One reason for slowing the tempo down is toavoid situations where opponents pressure the Indiansinto turnovers

ldquoOther teams are aggressive and we tend to panicrdquo

Petri saidThe goals for this yearrsquos teams are modest with an

emphasis on improvement Petri said she wants her

team to develop its skills and get better each time outand the wins will come

ldquoIn time we can come together and play our offenserdquoshe said ldquoObviously I want to have a better team thanlast year Winning half our games would be our ultimategoal right nowrdquo

making it a point in practices to have his players look upat the individual school sports banners on the wall andto have them notice that ldquo1968rdquo is the last number on theboys basketball programrsquos conference championship list

ldquoI keep pointing it out and saying lsquoThat number canrsquotsurviversquordquo Love said ldquoWersquove got to put another numberup thererdquo

The Greyhounds are off to a 1-1 start in their questto become the first conference champs in the sport in48 years They beat Granton on Dec 4 after losing topreseason favorite Marshfield Columbus and Love saidthis yearrsquos team is ldquostrides aheadrdquo of the 2014-15 versionthat ended up with an 8-8 mark and fifth-place finish in theEastern Cloverbelt Love has some starting experienceback in his lineup and several talented underclassmenwho will see significant playing time and the team shouldimprove as the youngsters learn the speed of the varsitygame

Love has to replace graduates Ryley Fischer LoganGenteman and Tyler Prust who all were significant

contributors a year ago Back in his starting lineup are junior guard Riley Geiger and 6rsquo4rdquo swingman CameronBrussow who give the Greyhounds a potent 1-2 scoringpunch both from the perimeter and the lane SeniorDerrick Howard also returns to the front line to battlefor rebounds and points and seniors Ben Zimmermanand Marcus Genteman will share one starting spotdepending on a given nightrsquos opponent Sophomore LukeBogdonovich is the other starting guard

Underclassmen who will play important minutesinclude sophomores Waylon Froeba Elliot Genteman andJordan Radue and freshman Quinn Brussow Theyrsquoll alsoplay with the junior varsity team but Love will need themfor varsity minutes for depth Senior Josh Zupanc out forthe sport for the first time will get some minutes as well

In Geiger and Cameron Brussow Loyal has a pair ofplayers who can easily post 20-point nights Geiger the2015 WIAA Division 5 state tournament 3-point shootingchampion is even more accurate from behind the arcthan last year Love said

ldquoThe pleasant surprise has been Riley Geigerrsquosperimeter gamerdquo Love said of the early seasondevelopments ldquoHersquos as good as Irsquove seen him Riley hasnrsquotmissed a beat I didnrsquot think hersquod get better but he hasrdquo

Brussow can also bury shots from 3-point range butdefenders had best be careful so he doesnrsquot drive pastthem A tall player with ball-handling skills Brussowcan score from anywhere

ldquoHe doesnrsquot have to play post because he can handlethe ballrdquo Love said ldquoCameron is a kid who can create hisown shot and thatrsquos a unique thing He has pretty highaspirations this yearrdquo

Bogdonovich who was ineligible to play last year aftertransferring to Loyal will bring the Greyhounds a much-needed third scoring option

ldquoWhen our two scoring leaders get things going weexpect defenses to adjust to guard Cameron and RileyrdquoLove said ldquoLuke has a great opportunity to expose thoseadjustments Hersquos got a real high basketball IQ Hersquos calmHe doesnrsquot get rattled His fundamental skills are reallyreally strongrdquo

Love does have some concerns about depth With new

WIAA rule changes for two 18-minutes halves insteadof four 8-minute quarters plus more emphasis on hand-checking players could get in foul trouble

ldquoFouls are my biggest concernrdquo the coach said ldquoIf ourtop three or four get in foul trouble we have guys whocan play but not play the same wayrdquo

That situation should ease some as the seasonprogresses and the younger players gain experience

Also Love said ldquoWersquove had to change the way we playdefense because of the way theyrsquore calling foulsrdquo Loyalwill back away from its aggressive full-court pressureand settle back more to conserve fouls

Even though he has a group of players with good skillsLove said he is still preaching the necessity of taking careof the basketball when the team is on offense

ldquoBall security is priority one two and threerdquo he saidldquoWe have to secure the ball more We have to understandthe value of every possessionrdquo

A pair of intangibles the Greyhounds will use as theytry to match up with the conference favorites are a highbasketball IQ and leadership Love said this group knowsthe game and can benefit from that

ldquoSome of the boys think basketball It makes sense tothemrdquo Love said

Geiger and Cameron Brussow will provide theleadership both in scoring and as floor captains

ldquoOur floor leaders were sophomores last year andtheyrsquore more experienced this yearrdquo Love said ldquoWersquorein good shape Wersquore strides ahead of where we werelast yearrdquo

Love sees Columbus and defending champion Spenceras the teams to beat in the ECC this year Neillsville andLoyal should be also be near the top of the pile when thedust settles with a key for the Greyhounds being ableto keep their leaders injury-free and out of foul trouble

ldquoWersquove got to keep some of our kids on the floorrdquoLove said

Greyhound boys look to make their mark in competitive ECC

It rsquo s very early int h e s e a s o n b u t t h eGreyhounds proved theyare to be taken seriouslythis season by pushingAssumption to the wireagain in a Thanksgivingweekend tournament Alast-second shot that justmissed would have liftedLoyal over the Royals inthat one but the game atleast showed area teamsthat Loyal is a legitimatecontender again thiswinter To take the nextstep Loyal has to developits bench said head coachMike Rueth and playthrough a brutal non-conference schedule thatincludes the early season1 and 2 ranked Division5 teams in the state

Loyal finished 22-4overall last year and wonits first Eastern CloverbeltConference championship

The stellar season endedwith a 56-52 sectional lossto Assumption a gamein which the Greyhoundsovercame a double digit deficit in the second half toalmost steal a win That team included now-departedseniors Missy Benz Jaelynn Young and Katie Hoeserthree players who will all be difficult to replace Havingnew reserves step in will be a key to Loyalrsquos 2015-16season Rueth said

Loyalrsquos starting five is as strong as ever Senior pointguard Devyn Schoonover and junior front-line playersMorgan Reinwand and Karsyn Rueth are all back intheir starting roles with a summer of competitive AAUbasketball behind them

ldquoYou can see the time that those kids put inrdquo coachRueth said

Moving into the starting lineup this year are seniorsJaedyn Pieper and Ryleigh Wilke two players who werea part of the main rotation last year They have plenty

of experience the coach said and have already proventhemselves as capable starters in early games this year

ldquoThey passed the test on the first nightrdquo Rueth saidldquoRight now our starting five really gets itrdquo

Repeat ECC title and more are on Loyal girls teamrsquos list of goals

Amanda Zettler Alexis Dietsche (back) Hailey Rueth Bailey Parker Karsyn Rueth Ryleigh Wilke and BryannaRayhorn

Players who Rueth is counting on to step in withvaluable contributions will include senior post playerBailey Parker who played on the varsity last year andknows the system well and freshman Hailey Rueth ayet-unproven player who will be counted on to play alow-post spot and contribute on defense and rebounding

ldquoShe has all the ability in the worldrdquo Rueth said ldquoWersquollwant her to be an offensive and defensive rebounder anda defensive specialist for us What she could do for us isall the little thingsrdquo

Others who will see varsity time include seniorAmanda Zettler junior Alexis Dietsche and sophomoreBryanna Rayhorn Their development and contributionswill be important because games are longer now with therule change to halves intend of quarters and an increasedemphasis on preventing contact on the court

They have to fill a rolerdquo Rueth said of his reservesldquoBecause of the way things are being called with thenew rules you have to have a bench Theyrsquore just callingeverything so tight nowrdquo

Having an experiencedstarting team at the

beginning of the seasonis a definite advantageRueth said because hedidnrsquot have to start withbasics However it willtake some time for thereserve players to catchup and being patient untilthey do will be important

ldquoWhen you start yourfirst practice yoursquore goingat full speed right fromthe beginningrdquo Ruethsaid ldquoThatrsquos where ourreserves are a little bitbehind Our starting five isquality We just donrsquot havethe bench we had last yearbut I think we can Wersquoregoing to get them thererdquo

Rueth believes thisyearrsquos team again has thetalent to win a conferencechampionship and somegoals are in sight beyondthat Loyal has alreadybeaten perennial ECCpower Neillsville andexpects competition fromOwen-Withee and Spencerdown the road

ldquoTherersquos no doubt wecould repeat as conferencechamps but things have togo our wayrdquo the coach saidldquoTheir (players) goals areto set on being conferencechampions againrdquo

The players also want to

win the conference cross-ver title game this yearLast winter they werebeaten by a Fall Creek

team that advanced to the state tournamentTo get his Greyhounds prepared for the inevitable

tough competition in the WIAA post-season playoffsRueth put together a difficult non-conference schedulethat includes the Assumption tournament a non-conference game against a strong Elk Mound team anda January Saturday road trip to take on Barneveld thedefending D5 state champ that is again ranked 1 Ruethis hoping that schedule will help it improve enough toget past the playoff roadblock it has encountered thepast few seasons

ldquoWersquore hoping that our non-conference schedule isgoing to get us over the humprdquo the coach said

To repeat Spencer needs young players to develop quicklyThe 2014-15 Spencer

boys basketball teamthat won the EasternCloverbelt Conferencetitle with a 14-2 leaguerecord was a mature onewith several players whohad been varsity startersfor two or even threeyears The 2015-16 teamthat will try to repeat asconference champs is notas experienced and maytake some time to developbefore itrsquos ready to play itsbest ball

The start of Spencerrsquosseason has been delayedby the football teamrsquos runto the state title gameThe Rockets postponed

their first two scheduledgames and were to openthe season with a Dec8 non-conference gameagainst Edgar Once theschedule begins coachRandy Recknerrsquos squadwill be faced with thetask of getting somenewcomers up to speedto complement a startingline-up that still includessome varsity veterans

Spencer has 2014-15 ECC player of the year Bobby Pilzback for one more season and he again will be reliedupon for his scoring abilities With starters Miles WeberNate Mercier and Mitchell Susa all gone via graduationPilzrsquo points will be even more critical this year asReckner looks for ways to bolster the teamrsquos offensivepunch Itrsquos not helping any that projected starting guard

Noah Zastrow and post player Dakota Andreae are bothlost for significant time with football-related injurieswhich seriously crimps the Rocketsrsquo depth

Joining Pilz on the starting squad will be Ryan Bussea senior who will be starting for the third-straight year

seniors Calvin Lenz and Jonny Tomke and sophomoreAaron Pankratz Lenz though not a starter in the pastplayed a crucial role on last yearrsquos team and is a versatilescorer who can defend Tomke is athletic and ldquocan helpus in a lot of waysrdquo Reckner said

Those players are proven at the varsity level whilePankratz will get his first taste of it this season Hersquoll be

the teamrsquos starting point guard and his skills as a ballhandler will be tested

ldquoWersquore asking a lot of himrdquo Reckner said ldquoHersquos avery smart kidrdquo

Others who will play in the main rotation will include

sophomores Jack Bezlyk and Jacob Miller Both of them

were important parts of a successful junior varsityteam a year ago and will be called upon to step up thenext level

Bezlyk should add some offenseldquoI think hersquos going to surprise a lot of people with

his scoring abilityrdquo Reckner said ldquoHersquos pretty athleticrdquoMiller is a post player with natural rebounding

instinctsldquoHersquos got the knack of finding the ballrdquo the coach

saidFinding new sources of of fense will be a key for the

Rockets as Susa and Mercier both averaged in doublefigures last year

ldquoWersquove got to replace a lot of scoringrdquo Reckner saidand Pilz is the most likely source

ldquoWersquore going to have to depend on him a lotrdquo Recknersaid with Busse and Lenz also being asked to pick uptheir offensive contributions

Adding to the challenge of repeating as conferencechamps is the relative youth of this team Reckner

has been spoiled in recent years with a plentitude ofexperience but thatrsquos not the case this winter

ldquoI had 2- and 3-year starters last year This year wersquorea little more inexperiencedrdquo Reckner said ldquoTherersquos a lotof teaching going on with the younger guysrdquo

Depth could be a problem for Spencer especially earlyin the season while the sophomores are growing intotheir new roles With Zastrow probably not likely to playuntil late in the season and Andreae out for probably amonth Spencer will have to rely on young players tolearn quickly

ldquoOur depth could be an issuerdquo the coach said ldquoWeprobably would be 9-deep with those two Now wersquoreprobably seven or eight just because of our inexperienceOur conference is going to be really good Hopefully they(younger players) can learn on the flyrdquo

Marshfield Columbus is looking like Spencerrsquos mainchallenge to a repeat ECC title with Neillsville andOwen-Withee also looking strong Reckner said ForSpencer to be atop the standings again at seasonrsquos end

a lot has to fall into placeldquoWe need to be consistent we need to gel as a teamrdquo

Reckner said ldquoWe need to grow up fast In any year tobe a conference champ yoursquove got to catch some breaksrdquo

Rockets girls team off to solid start more growth expected

The 2015-16 Spencer girls basketball team (front from left) Kallie Reckner Macie WeberSydney Kind Nadia King (back) Sabrina Vircks Sadie Mercier Katie Fleischman Lexi

Baehr Jessica Becker Courtney Buss and Liz Endreas

Just a few games into the 2015-16 season Spencer headgirls basketball coach Brian Abel has seen significantimprovement over last year in the way his team isperforming The Rockets are getting mentioned by othercoaches in the Eastern Cloverbelt Conference as a teamto watch out for as Spencer blends decent height and agood outside game into an improving program

Abelrsquos teams went 6-17 two years ago and 6-16 lastyear but this yearrsquos group is off to a 2-1 start with ECCwins over Colby and Marshfield Columbus Those areteams that swept the Rockets last season so Abel has agood sense that things are improving in his programThe players are familiar now with Abelrsquos coaching styleand terminolog y he said and can focus more on playingbasketball

This yearrsquos starting squad is an interesting mix ofinside-outside skills Senior Nadia King returns at thepoint while sophomore guard Lexi Baehr is in her secondvarsity year with perimeter shooting prowess JuniorCourtney Buss mans another spot while seniors Macie

Weber and Sydney Kindgive the Rockets a stronginside presence

Kallie Reckner andLiz Endreas may also getsome starts and will be inthe main rotation KatieFleischmann and JessicaBecker will also get someminutes while SabrinaVircks and Sadie Mercierwill split varsityjuniorvarsity time at least in theearly part of the season

Abel has to find ways toreplace the contributionsof Abby Varsho MelissaLehman and KaitlynWalter who all graduatedHe still has plenty ofreturning players to turnto though and that hashelped in the early season

ldquoTherersquos a lot lessteaching this year becausewersquove got a lot comingbackrdquo Abel said ldquoYou cansee it with our fast startrdquo

Spencer will continue

to run a motion offenselooking for the openperimeter shot or dumpingthe ball inside to Weber or Kind if they have a favorablematchup on the post If the shooters are on the systemworks well

ldquoIt keeps that inside-outside game working Itrsquos a goodbalance so farrdquo Abel said

Defensively the Rockets prefer to fall into a half-court2-3 zone but will come out to play man-to-man at timesThe Rockets want to prevent easy fast-break points andtry to get back in defensive positions

ldquoWe donrsquot want teams to run on usrdquo Abel said ldquoWersquore

very good at getting up and down the court I feel thisteam is very versatile in what we can dordquo

Depth-wise Abel says he has enough quality playersto substitute as needed

ldquoWe have decent depth Itrsquos not shallow by any meansrdquohe said ldquoWe can go eight or nine deep and be alrightrdquo

The Rockets still have to work on some fundamentalsto compete with top teams

ldquoWersquove got to box out defensivelyrdquo he said ldquoOn offensetherersquos an emphasis on limiting turnovers We hadproblems last year with passing under pressurerdquo

One thing Abel is looking for is steady improvementThe year is off to a good start but he wants to maintainthe development as the season progresses

ldquoItrsquos definitely been an improvement from the yearbeforerdquo he said of the teamrsquos early season ldquoI think thegirls just have another year under the system Itrsquos thatcontinual growthrdquo

One goal for Abel this season is to sweep conference

teams that Spencer split its two games with last yearand at least split with those who beat Spencer twiceThatrsquos already happened with the wins over Colby andColumbus

Abel sees Loyal Neillsville and Owen-Withee asthe usual conference favorites Spencer may not be tothe level of those programs yet he said but continuedimprovement will narrow the gap If attitude meansanything his team will be competitive

ldquoThey put the time in They donrsquot want to loserdquo Abelsaid of his players

Spencer-Columbus wrestlers looking for big results this yearTwo seasons ago Spencer head wrestling coach Jake

Zschernitz had no one to fill his lightweight positionsLast year he had the lightweights but then not theheavyweights Finally this season with the resumptionof a co-op program with Marshfield ColumbusZschernitz has everybody he needs and the Rockets lookto be strong

With three wrestlers returning this season afterqualifying for the state meet a year ago -- plus the additionof Columbus athletes and a few underclassmen -- theRockets look to be headed for a strong 2015-16 campaignThey wonrsquot have to overcome the forfeit points theyallowed in the last two seasons and that has Zschernitzthinking the Rockets can repeat as Cloverbelt Conferencedual meet champions and also take the conferencetournament

Spencer-Columbus will be solid at several weightsReturning are 2015 state qualifiers sophomore BryceShaw at 126 pounds senior Tim Bauer at 138 andsophomore Hunter Luepke at 195 Seniors HunterHildebrandt (170) Austin Post (132) and Nate Neumann

(160) also return to the varsity lineupColumbus freshmen Jake Dick (106) and Zach Wheeler-Savoy (113) will take over the lightweight spots whilesophomore Dominick Wichlacz will be at 120 SophomoreJeremiah Giles is slotted in at 145 and freshman CarsonHildebrandt will be at 152 Senior Jake Hainzlsperger willman the 182-pound class senior Elijah Welsh and juniorMax Johnson will contend at 220 and freshman LoganZschernitz and senior Ryan Schauer are the heavyweightchallengers

Shaw placed sixth at state last year the highest finishever for a Spencer freshman Bauer worked hard overthe summer to get even better than his state-qualifyingform of a year ago and Luepke is back as a defendingconference champion and state qualifier HunterHildebrandt and Neumann are also 2015 conferencetournament champions

ldquoThat whole group is going to be a big part of oursuccessrdquo Zschernitz said

Newcomers expected to help include Carson

Hildebrandt and Logan Zschernitz who both haveconsiderable youth wrestling experience Welsh couldbe an interesting wrestler to watch and is someonewho the coach describes as ldquoa naturalrdquo but hasnrsquot beenable to compete at the varsity level because Columbusdidnrsquot have a program Austin Post will bring his footballathleticism to the mat as well and Johnson -- who did notgo out for wrestling last year -- was a sectional qualifieras a freshman

The addition of the Columbus wrestlers at last givesZschernitz the athletes he needs at the right weights

ldquoIf we didnrsquot have them the lightweights would behard to fill againrdquo the coach said

The addition of Columbus will push the Rocketprogram into Division 2 for the state tournament seriesbut Zschernitz doesnrsquot see that as an issue In fact movingout of D3 means the Rockets can avoid such usual smallschool powerhouses as Stratford and Edgar

Zschernitz expects his team can repeat as Cloverbeltdual meet champs and should be a top contender at theconference meet Last year the Rockets lost to Stanley-Boyd by only a few points partly because it had to forfeitat two weights

Not this year And not only does Zschernitz have a fullteam but he has a group thatrsquos as confident as can be afterthe Spencer-Columbus football team went all the way tothe state championship game Many of the athletes areon both teams

ldquoTop to bottom this is definitely the best team wersquovehadrdquo Zschernitz said ldquoWersquore fairly solid all the waythrough Wersquore hoping with the success of the footballco-op it carries over to wrestling Wrestling and footballgo hand-in-hand in my opinion I think the run in footballhelped just to show them they can get to that level if theywant to workrdquo

Greenwood head boys basketball coach EricJohnsonrsquos entire starting five from last year put ona graduation robe in May and headed off to newadventures Left behind in the Greenwood program area few experienced varsity players a wealth of talentedunderclassmen and a question mark as to how fast thisyearrsquos team can develop

In Johnsonrsquos first year as head coach his senior-dominated squad posted a 7-9 record in the EasternCloverbelt Conference and a 10-13 overall mark Gonefrom the group are graduates Booker Bredlau and LoganJohnson who both received all-conference mention andfellow starters Dane Toburen Delten Schmitz and DylanNorth To say Johnson has a rebuilding job on his handsthis year may be just a bit of an understatement

he does have a pair of seniors back in Decker Lindnerand Sam Revier who saw considerable varsity time in2014-15 Joining them as starters will be juniors TrevorSerocki and Zach Zimbauer and sophomore DevinToburen Junior Walker Wuethrich will usually be thefirst guy off the bench with senior Aaron Lindner

junior Cole Lucas and sophomore Tyler Genteman alsofiguring into the rotationldquoWersquore inexperienced at the varsity levelrdquo Johnson

said ldquoThe kids are going to have to catch up to the gamespeed Irsquove got basketball talent out there Hopefully byChristmas time the kids will be caught up and we canbe competitive in every gamerdquo

Greenwood started the season with a non-conferenceloss to Abbotsford and ECC losses to Colby andNeillsville That result is to be expected at least for awhile as the players learn what it takes to compete atthe varsity pace

ldquoThey understand the offense and defense andwhat I want out of themrdquo Johnson said ldquoThe kidsall understand the offense really well Itrsquos just gettingthem up to game speed and you canrsquot simulate that inpracticerdquo

Serocki is showing solid skills at point guard andRevier and Decker Lindner should give the Indiansrebounding defense and inside scoring Toburen is a

versatile player who should develop as he gets varsityminutes

ldquoHe can score inside and outsiderdquo the coach saidldquoHe can handle the ball and rebound He gives me alittle of everythingrdquo

Greenwood will not be able to rely on a strongperimeter game as the young shooters are still tryingto find their range It could be a streaky season as aplayer or two gets hot then cools down

ldquoI donrsquot have a pure shooterrdquo Johnson said ldquoI haveguys who can stroke it but they can lose the stroke just as fastrdquo

Ball security is another area of concern The Indianshave averaged more turnovers than Johnson wants inthe teamrsquos first games Fouls have also been an issuebut that is partly due to officialsrsquo new emphasis onhand-checking and a switch to longer halves intend ofquarters

Johnson said he expects a balanced scoring attackat least until someone emerges as a consistent source

of pointsldquoNobody is really going to stand outrdquo he said ldquoI have

not found that guy yet I hope either Devin or Trevorwill develop into that guyrdquo

Johnson sees Marshfield Columbus as the best teamin the ECC this year with defending champion SpencerNeillsville Owen-Withee and Loyal all figuring to be inthe top half

ldquoHopefully we can fall in somewhere behind thatrdquohe said

Greenwood head basketball coach Carey Petrirsquosfirst year at the helm of the program was not the mostpleasant one with most of her starting and contributingplayers suspended for half the season and the juniorvarsity players called up to fill in One positive fromthat experience is that several young players got varsitytime -- albeit before they were ready -- and that shouldtranslate to a more mature team this season

Petrirsquos Indians are off to a 1-3 start this season as theytry to put last yearrsquos season in the rear-view mirror Theteam took a major blow before this season even startedwhen star senior Taylor Opelt injured her knee in anopen gym workout She was last yearrsquos leading scorerand would have been the centerpiece of Petrirsquos offensethis season

Petrirsquos main group of players this year includesseniors Ashley Walker Lexi Hinker and Renee Herdrich junior Kassidy Lamovec and sophomores Kelly Nielsenand Kaylee Learman Seniors Kaylee Meyer NatalieHackel and Kristyn Nigon are also getting considerableminutes early in the season

In addition to losing Opelt Petri also has to replacegraduates Morgan Hinker and Madison Lucas Thatleaves a huge scoring void to fill which Petri willattempt to cover by having the Indians play a slow tempostyle in which they wait patiently for good shots

ldquoWersquore trying to focus on playing our offense andplaying to our tempordquo she said ldquoWersquore trying to slowthings downrdquo

Several of the key players on this yearrsquos team wereforced into varsity action a year ago and that is payingdividends now

ldquoWith those freshmen who played it kind of got thenerves out of the way a little bitrdquo Petri said

With everyone more comfortable in their roles thisyearrsquos team is playing better as a group One of theIndiansrsquo strengths should be cohesion

ldquoI think this year our chemistry our working welltogether is a strengthrdquo Petri said ldquoWersquore coming closeras a teamrdquo

Shooting has been an issue early for the Indians The

team needs improvement from the perimeter the coachsaid as it has little height to set up plays to the post

ldquoThe shooting is getting betterrdquo Petri said ldquoWersquoreworking on itrdquo

The defense is also showing improvement withplayers adjusting to their responsibilities in the man-

Greenwood girls looking for improvement as season progresses

to-man schemeldquoItrsquos definitely better than last yearrdquo Petri said

ldquoWersquore getting to the spots faster We understand the

rotationsrdquoThe players are also aware of the need for better ball

handling One reason for slowing the tempo down is toavoid situations where opponents pressure the Indiansinto turnovers

ldquoOther teams are aggressive and we tend to panicrdquo

Petri saidThe goals for this yearrsquos teams are modest with an

emphasis on improvement Petri said she wants her

team to develop its skills and get better each time outand the wins will come

ldquoIn time we can come together and play our offenserdquoshe said ldquoObviously I want to have a better team thanlast year Winning half our games would be our ultimategoal right nowrdquo

Loyal head boys basketball coach Rob Love has been

making it a point in practices to have his players look upat the individual school sports banners on the wall andto have them notice that ldquo1968rdquo is the last number on theboys basketball programrsquos conference championship list

ldquoI keep pointing it out and saying lsquoThat number canrsquotsurviversquordquo Love said ldquoWersquove got to put another numberup thererdquo

The Greyhounds are off to a 1-1 start in their questto become the first conference champs in the sport in48 years They beat Granton on Dec 4 after losing topreseason favorite Marshfield Columbus and Love saidthis yearrsquos team is ldquostrides aheadrdquo of the 2014-15 versionthat ended up with an 8-8 mark and fifth-place finish in theEastern Cloverbelt Love has some starting experienceback in his lineup and several talented underclassmenwho will see significant playing time and the team shouldimprove as the youngsters learn the speed of the varsitygame

Love has to replace graduates Ryley Fischer LoganGenteman and Tyler Prust who all were significant

contributors a year ago Back in his starting lineup are junior guard Riley Geiger and 6rsquo4rdquo swingman CameronBrussow who give the Greyhounds a potent 1-2 scoringpunch both from the perimeter and the lane SeniorDerrick Howard also returns to the front line to battlefor rebounds and points and seniors Ben Zimmermanand Marcus Genteman will share one starting spotdepending on a given nightrsquos opponent Sophomore LukeBogdonovich is the other starting guard

Underclassmen who will play important minutesinclude sophomores Waylon Froeba Elliot Genteman andJordan Radue and freshman Quinn Brussow Theyrsquoll alsoplay with the junior varsity team but Love will need themfor varsity minutes for depth Senior Josh Zupanc out forthe sport for the first time will get some minutes as well

In Geiger and Cameron Brussow Loyal has a pair ofplayers who can easily post 20-point nights Geiger the2015 WIAA Division 5 state tournament 3-point shootingchampion is even more accurate from behind the arcthan last year Love said

ldquoThe pleasant surprise has been Riley Geigerrsquosperimeter gamerdquo Love said of the early seasondevelopments ldquoHersquos as good as Irsquove seen him Riley hasnrsquotmissed a beat I didnrsquot think hersquod get better but he hasrdquo

Brussow can also bury shots from 3-point range butdefenders had best be careful so he doesnrsquot drive pastthem A tall player with ball-handling skills Brussowcan score from anywhere

ldquoHe doesnrsquot have to play post because he can handlethe ballrdquo Love said ldquoCameron is a kid who can create hisown shot and thatrsquos a unique thing He has pretty highaspirations this yearrdquo

Bogdonovich who was ineligible to play last year aftertransferring to Loyal will bring the Greyhounds a much-needed third scoring option

ldquoWhen our two scoring leaders get things going weexpect defenses to adjust to guard Cameron and RileyrdquoLove said ldquoLuke has a great opportunity to expose thoseadjustments Hersquos got a real high basketball IQ Hersquos calmHe doesnrsquot get rattled His fundamental skills are reallyreally strongrdquo

Love does have some concerns about depth With new

WIAA rule changes for two 18-minutes halves insteadof four 8-minute quarters plus more emphasis on hand-checking players could get in foul trouble

ldquoFouls are my biggest concernrdquo the coach said ldquoIf ourtop three or four get in foul trouble we have guys whocan play but not play the same wayrdquo

That situation should ease some as the seasonprogresses and the younger players gain experience

Also Love said ldquoWersquove had to change the way we playdefense because of the way theyrsquore calling foulsrdquo Loyalwill back away from its aggressive full-court pressureand settle back more to conserve fouls

Even though he has a group of players with good skillsLove said he is still preaching the necessity of taking careof the basketball when the team is on offense

ldquoBall security is priority one two and threerdquo he saidldquoWe have to secure the ball more We have to understandthe value of every possessionrdquo

A pair of intangibles the Greyhounds will use as theytry to match up with the conference favorites are a highbasketball IQ and leadership Love said this group knowsthe game and can benefit from that

ldquoSome of the boys think basketball It makes sense tothemrdquo Love said

Geiger and Cameron Brussow will provide theleadership both in scoring and as floor captains

ldquoOur floor leaders were sophomores last year andtheyrsquore more experienced this yearrdquo Love said ldquoWersquorein good shape Wersquore strides ahead of where we werelast yearrdquo

Love sees Columbus and defending champion Spenceras the teams to beat in the ECC this year Neillsville andLoyal should be also be near the top of the pile when thedust settles with a key for the Greyhounds being ableto keep their leaders injury-free and out of foul trouble

ldquoWersquove got to keep some of our kids on the floorrdquoLove said

Greyhound boys look to make their mark in competitive ECC

T h e L o y a l g i r l sbasketball team came

so close last season todefeating annual nemesisW i s c o n s i n R a p i d sAssumption in a WIAADivision 5 sectional semi-final game Will this bethe year the Greyhoundsfinally get over theAssumption hump to takea big step toward the statetournament

It rsquo s very early int h e s e a s o n b u t t h eGreyhounds proved theyare to be taken seriouslythis season by pushingAssumption to the wireagain in a Thanksgivingweekend tournament Alast-second shot that justmissed would have liftedLoyal over the Royals inthat one but the game atleast showed area teamsthat Loyal is a legitimatecontender again thiswinter To take the nextstep Loyal has to developits bench said head coachMike Rueth and playthrough a brutal non-conference schedule thatincludes the early season1 and 2 ranked Division5 teams in the state

Loyal finished 22-4overall last year and wonits first Eastern CloverbeltConference championship

The stellar season endedwith a 56-52 sectional lossto Assumption a gamein which the Greyhoundsovercame a double digit deficit in the second half toalmost steal a win That team included now-departedseniors Missy Benz Jaelynn Young and Katie Hoeserthree players who will all be difficult to replace Havingnew reserves step in will be a key to Loyalrsquos 2015-16season Rueth said

Loyalrsquos starting five is as strong as ever Senior pointguard Devyn Schoonover and junior front-line playersMorgan Reinwand and Karsyn Rueth are all back intheir starting roles with a summer of competitive AAUbasketball behind them

ldquoYou can see the time that those kids put inrdquo coachRueth said

Moving into the starting lineup this year are seniorsJaedyn Pieper and Ryleigh Wilke two players who werea part of the main rotation last year They have plenty

of experience the coach said and have already proventhemselves as capable starters in early games this year

ldquoThey passed the test on the first nightrdquo Rueth saidldquoRight now our starting five really gets itrdquo

Repeat ECC title and more are on Loyal girls teamrsquos list of goals

Amanda Zettler Alexis Dietsche (back) Hailey Rueth Bailey Parker Karsyn Rueth Ryleigh Wilke and BryannaRayhorn

Players who Rueth is counting on to step in withvaluable contributions will include senior post playerBailey Parker who played on the varsity last year andknows the system well and freshman Hailey Rueth ayet-unproven player who will be counted on to play alow-post spot and contribute on defense and rebounding

ldquoShe has all the ability in the worldrdquo Rueth said ldquoWersquollwant her to be an offensive and defensive rebounder anda defensive specialist for us What she could do for us isall the little thingsrdquo

Others who will see varsity time include seniorAmanda Zettler junior Alexis Dietsche and sophomoreBryanna Rayhorn Their development and contributionswill be important because games are longer now with therule change to halves intend of quarters and an increasedemphasis on preventing contact on the court

They have to fill a rolerdquo Rueth said of his reservesldquoBecause of the way things are being called with thenew rules you have to have a bench Theyrsquore just callingeverything so tight nowrdquo

Having an experiencedstarting team at the

beginning of the seasonis a definite advantageRueth said because hedidnrsquot have to start withbasics However it willtake some time for thereserve players to catchup and being patient untilthey do will be important

ldquoWhen you start yourfirst practice yoursquore goingat full speed right fromthe beginningrdquo Ruethsaid ldquoThatrsquos where ourreserves are a little bitbehind Our starting five isquality We just donrsquot havethe bench we had last yearbut I think we can Wersquoregoing to get them thererdquo

Rueth believes thisyearrsquos team again has thetalent to win a conferencechampionship and somegoals are in sight beyondthat Loyal has alreadybeaten perennial ECCpower Neillsville andexpects competition fromOwen-Withee and Spencerdown the road

ldquoTherersquos no doubt wecould repeat as conferencechamps but things have togo our wayrdquo the coach saidldquoTheir (players) goals areto set on being conferencechampions againrdquo

The players also want to

win the conference cross-ver title game this yearLast winter they werebeaten by a Fall Creek

team that advanced to the state tournamentTo get his Greyhounds prepared for the inevitable

tough competition in the WIAA post-season playoffsRueth put together a difficult non-conference schedulethat includes the Assumption tournament a non-conference game against a strong Elk Mound team anda January Saturday road trip to take on Barneveld thedefending D5 state champ that is again ranked 1 Ruethis hoping that schedule will help it improve enough toget past the playoff roadblock it has encountered thepast few seasons

ldquoWersquore hoping that our non-conference schedule isgoing to get us over the humprdquo the coach said

To repeat Spencer needs young players to develop quicklyThe 2014-15 Spencer

boys basketball teamthat won the EasternCloverbelt Conferencetitle with a 14-2 leaguerecord was a mature onewith several players whohad been varsity startersfor two or even threeyears The 2015-16 teamthat will try to repeat asconference champs is notas experienced and maytake some time to developbefore itrsquos ready to play itsbest ball

The start of Spencerrsquosseason has been delayedby the football teamrsquos runto the state title gameThe Rockets postponed

their first two scheduledgames and were to openthe season with a Dec8 non-conference gameagainst Edgar Once theschedule begins coachRandy Recknerrsquos squadwill be faced with thetask of getting somenewcomers up to speedto complement a startingline-up that still includessome varsity veterans

Spencer has 2014-15 ECC player of the year Bobby Pilzback for one more season and he again will be reliedupon for his scoring abilities With starters Miles WeberNate Mercier and Mitchell Susa all gone via graduationPilzrsquo points will be even more critical this year asReckner looks for ways to bolster the teamrsquos offensivepunch Itrsquos not helping any that projected starting guard

Noah Zastrow and post player Dakota Andreae are bothlost for significant time with football-related injurieswhich seriously crimps the Rocketsrsquo depth

Joining Pilz on the starting squad will be Ryan Bussea senior who will be starting for the third-straight year

seniors Calvin Lenz and Jonny Tomke and sophomoreAaron Pankratz Lenz though not a starter in the pastplayed a crucial role on last yearrsquos team and is a versatilescorer who can defend Tomke is athletic and ldquocan helpus in a lot of waysrdquo Reckner said

Those players are proven at the varsity level whilePankratz will get his first taste of it this season Hersquoll be

the teamrsquos starting point guard and his skills as a ballhandler will be tested

ldquoWersquore asking a lot of himrdquo Reckner said ldquoHersquos avery smart kidrdquo

Others who will play in the main rotation will include

sophomores Jack Bezlyk and Jacob Miller Both of them

were important parts of a successful junior varsityteam a year ago and will be called upon to step up thenext level

Bezlyk should add some offenseldquoI think hersquos going to surprise a lot of people with

his scoring abilityrdquo Reckner said ldquoHersquos pretty athleticrdquoMiller is a post player with natural rebounding

instinctsldquoHersquos got the knack of finding the ballrdquo the coach

saidFinding new sources of of fense will be a key for the

Rockets as Susa and Mercier both averaged in doublefigures last year

ldquoWersquove got to replace a lot of scoringrdquo Reckner saidand Pilz is the most likely source

ldquoWersquore going to have to depend on him a lotrdquo Recknersaid with Busse and Lenz also being asked to pick uptheir offensive contributions

Adding to the challenge of repeating as conferencechamps is the relative youth of this team Reckner

has been spoiled in recent years with a plentitude ofexperience but thatrsquos not the case this winter

ldquoI had 2- and 3-year starters last year This year wersquorea little more inexperiencedrdquo Reckner said ldquoTherersquos a lotof teaching going on with the younger guysrdquo

Depth could be a problem for Spencer especially earlyin the season while the sophomores are growing intotheir new roles With Zastrow probably not likely to playuntil late in the season and Andreae out for probably amonth Spencer will have to rely on young players tolearn quickly

ldquoOur depth could be an issuerdquo the coach said ldquoWeprobably would be 9-deep with those two Now wersquoreprobably seven or eight just because of our inexperienceOur conference is going to be really good Hopefully they(younger players) can learn on the flyrdquo

Marshfield Columbus is looking like Spencerrsquos mainchallenge to a repeat ECC title with Neillsville andOwen-Withee also looking strong Reckner said ForSpencer to be atop the standings again at seasonrsquos end

a lot has to fall into placeldquoWe need to be consistent we need to gel as a teamrdquo

Reckner said ldquoWe need to grow up fast In any year tobe a conference champ yoursquove got to catch some breaksrdquo

Rockets girls team off to solid start more growth expected

The 2015-16 Spencer girls basketball team (front from left) Kallie Reckner Macie WeberSydney Kind Nadia King (back) Sabrina Vircks Sadie Mercier Katie Fleischman Lexi

Baehr Jessica Becker Courtney Buss and Liz Endreas

Just a few games into the 2015-16 season Spencer headgirls basketball coach Brian Abel has seen significantimprovement over last year in the way his team isperforming The Rockets are getting mentioned by othercoaches in the Eastern Cloverbelt Conference as a teamto watch out for as Spencer blends decent height and agood outside game into an improving program

Abelrsquos teams went 6-17 two years ago and 6-16 lastyear but this yearrsquos group is off to a 2-1 start with ECCwins over Colby and Marshfield Columbus Those areteams that swept the Rockets last season so Abel has agood sense that things are improving in his programThe players are familiar now with Abelrsquos coaching styleand terminolog y he said and can focus more on playingbasketball

This yearrsquos starting squad is an interesting mix ofinside-outside skills Senior Nadia King returns at thepoint while sophomore guard Lexi Baehr is in her secondvarsity year with perimeter shooting prowess JuniorCourtney Buss mans another spot while seniors Macie

Weber and Sydney Kindgive the Rockets a stronginside presence

Kallie Reckner andLiz Endreas may also getsome starts and will be inthe main rotation KatieFleischmann and JessicaBecker will also get someminutes while SabrinaVircks and Sadie Mercierwill split varsityjuniorvarsity time at least in theearly part of the season

Abel has to find ways toreplace the contributionsof Abby Varsho MelissaLehman and KaitlynWalter who all graduatedHe still has plenty ofreturning players to turnto though and that hashelped in the early season

ldquoTherersquos a lot lessteaching this year becausewersquove got a lot comingbackrdquo Abel said ldquoYou cansee it with our fast startrdquo

Spencer will continue

to run a motion offenselooking for the openperimeter shot or dumpingthe ball inside to Weber or Kind if they have a favorablematchup on the post If the shooters are on the systemworks well

ldquoIt keeps that inside-outside game working Itrsquos a goodbalance so farrdquo Abel said

Defensively the Rockets prefer to fall into a half-court2-3 zone but will come out to play man-to-man at timesThe Rockets want to prevent easy fast-break points andtry to get back in defensive positions

ldquoWe donrsquot want teams to run on usrdquo Abel said ldquoWersquore

very good at getting up and down the court I feel thisteam is very versatile in what we can dordquo

Depth-wise Abel says he has enough quality playersto substitute as needed

ldquoWe have decent depth Itrsquos not shallow by any meansrdquohe said ldquoWe can go eight or nine deep and be alrightrdquo

The Rockets still have to work on some fundamentalsto compete with top teams

ldquoWersquove got to box out defensivelyrdquo he said ldquoOn offensetherersquos an emphasis on limiting turnovers We hadproblems last year with passing under pressurerdquo

One thing Abel is looking for is steady improvementThe year is off to a good start but he wants to maintainthe development as the season progresses

ldquoItrsquos definitely been an improvement from the yearbeforerdquo he said of the teamrsquos early season ldquoI think thegirls just have another year under the system Itrsquos thatcontinual growthrdquo

One goal for Abel this season is to sweep conference

teams that Spencer split its two games with last yearand at least split with those who beat Spencer twiceThatrsquos already happened with the wins over Colby andColumbus

Abel sees Loyal Neillsville and Owen-Withee asthe usual conference favorites Spencer may not be tothe level of those programs yet he said but continuedimprovement will narrow the gap If attitude meansanything his team will be competitive

ldquoThey put the time in They donrsquot want to loserdquo Abelsaid of his players

Spencer-Columbus wrestlers looking for big results this yearTwo seasons ago Spencer head wrestling coach Jake

Zschernitz had no one to fill his lightweight positionsLast year he had the lightweights but then not theheavyweights Finally this season with the resumptionof a co-op program with Marshfield ColumbusZschernitz has everybody he needs and the Rockets lookto be strong

With three wrestlers returning this season afterqualifying for the state meet a year ago -- plus the additionof Columbus athletes and a few underclassmen -- theRockets look to be headed for a strong 2015-16 campaignThey wonrsquot have to overcome the forfeit points theyallowed in the last two seasons and that has Zschernitzthinking the Rockets can repeat as Cloverbelt Conferencedual meet champions and also take the conferencetournament

Spencer-Columbus will be solid at several weightsReturning are 2015 state qualifiers sophomore BryceShaw at 126 pounds senior Tim Bauer at 138 andsophomore Hunter Luepke at 195 Seniors HunterHildebrandt (170) Austin Post (132) and Nate Neumann

(160) also return to the varsity lineupColumbus freshmen Jake Dick (106) and Zach Wheeler-Savoy (113) will take over the lightweight spots whilesophomore Dominick Wichlacz will be at 120 SophomoreJeremiah Giles is slotted in at 145 and freshman CarsonHildebrandt will be at 152 Senior Jake Hainzlsperger willman the 182-pound class senior Elijah Welsh and juniorMax Johnson will contend at 220 and freshman LoganZschernitz and senior Ryan Schauer are the heavyweightchallengers

Shaw placed sixth at state last year the highest finishever for a Spencer freshman Bauer worked hard overthe summer to get even better than his state-qualifyingform of a year ago and Luepke is back as a defendingconference champion and state qualifier HunterHildebrandt and Neumann are also 2015 conferencetournament champions

ldquoThat whole group is going to be a big part of oursuccessrdquo Zschernitz said

Newcomers expected to help include Carson

Hildebrandt and Logan Zschernitz who both haveconsiderable youth wrestling experience Welsh couldbe an interesting wrestler to watch and is someonewho the coach describes as ldquoa naturalrdquo but hasnrsquot beenable to compete at the varsity level because Columbusdidnrsquot have a program Austin Post will bring his footballathleticism to the mat as well and Johnson -- who did notgo out for wrestling last year -- was a sectional qualifieras a freshman

The addition of the Columbus wrestlers at last givesZschernitz the athletes he needs at the right weights

ldquoIf we didnrsquot have them the lightweights would behard to fill againrdquo the coach said

The addition of Columbus will push the Rocketprogram into Division 2 for the state tournament seriesbut Zschernitz doesnrsquot see that as an issue In fact movingout of D3 means the Rockets can avoid such usual smallschool powerhouses as Stratford and Edgar

Zschernitz expects his team can repeat as Cloverbeltdual meet champs and should be a top contender at theconference meet Last year the Rockets lost to Stanley-Boyd by only a few points partly because it had to forfeitat two weights

Not this year And not only does Zschernitz have a fullteam but he has a group thatrsquos as confident as can be afterthe Spencer-Columbus football team went all the way tothe state championship game Many of the athletes areon both teams

ldquoTop to bottom this is definitely the best team wersquovehadrdquo Zschernitz said ldquoWersquore fairly solid all the waythrough Wersquore hoping with the success of the footballco-op it carries over to wrestling Wrestling and footballgo hand-in-hand in my opinion I think the run in footballhelped just to show them they can get to that level if theywant to workrdquo

6 ndash Wednesday December 9 2015 WINTER SPORTS PREVIEW

Greenwood head boys basketball coach EricJohnsonrsquos entire starting five from last year put ona graduation robe in May and headed off to newadventures Left behind in the Greenwood program area few experienced varsity players a wealth of talentedunderclassmen and a question mark as to how fast thisyearrsquos team can develop

In Johnsonrsquos first year as head coach his senior-dominated squad posted a 7-9 record in the EasternCloverbelt Conference and a 10-13 overall mark Gonefrom the group are graduates Booker Bredlau and LoganJohnson who both received all-conference mention andfellow starters Dane Toburen Delten Schmitz and DylanNorth To say Johnson has a rebuilding job on his handsthis year may be just a bit of an understatement

he does have a pair of seniors back in Decker Lindnerand Sam Revier who saw considerable varsity time in2014-15 Joining them as starters will be juniors TrevorSerocki and Zach Zimbauer and sophomore DevinToburen Junior Walker Wuethrich will usually be thefirst guy off the bench with senior Aaron Lindner

junior Cole Lucas and sophomore Tyler Genteman alsofiguring into the rotationldquoWersquore inexperienced at the varsity levelrdquo Johnson

said ldquoThe kids are going to have to catch up to the gamespeed Irsquove got basketball talent out there Hopefully byChristmas time the kids will be caught up and we canbe competitive in every gamerdquo

Greenwood started the season with a non-conferenceloss to Abbotsford and ECC losses to Colby andNeillsville That result is to be expected at least for awhile as the players learn what it takes to compete atthe varsity pace

ldquoThey understand the offense and defense andwhat I want out of themrdquo Johnson said ldquoThe kidsall understand the offense really well Itrsquos just gettingthem up to game speed and you canrsquot simulate that inpracticerdquo

Serocki is showing solid skills at point guard andRevier and Decker Lindner should give the Indiansrebounding defense and inside scoring Toburen is a

versatile player who should develop as he gets varsityminutes

ldquoHe can score inside and outsiderdquo the coach saidldquoHe can handle the ball and rebound He gives me alittle of everythingrdquo

Greenwood will not be able to rely on a strongperimeter game as the young shooters are still tryingto find their range It could be a streaky season as aplayer or two gets hot then cools down

ldquoI donrsquot have a pure shooterrdquo Johnson said ldquoI haveguys who can stroke it but they can lose the stroke just as fastrdquo

Ball security is another area of concern The Indianshave averaged more turnovers than Johnson wants inthe teamrsquos first games Fouls have also been an issuebut that is partly due to officialsrsquo new emphasis onhand-checking and a switch to longer halves intend ofquarters

Johnson said he expects a balanced scoring attackat least until someone emerges as a consistent source

of pointsldquoNobody is really going to stand outrdquo he said ldquoI have

not found that guy yet I hope either Devin or Trevorwill develop into that guyrdquo

Johnson sees Marshfield Columbus as the best teamin the ECC this year with defending champion SpencerNeillsville Owen-Withee and Loyal all figuring to be inthe top half

ldquoHopefully we can fall in somewhere behind thatrdquohe said

Greenwood head basketball coach Carey Petrirsquosfirst year at the helm of the program was not the mostpleasant one with most of her starting and contributingplayers suspended for half the season and the juniorvarsity players called up to fill in One positive fromthat experience is that several young players got varsitytime -- albeit before they were ready -- and that shouldtranslate to a more mature team this season

Petrirsquos Indians are off to a 1-3 start this season as theytry to put last yearrsquos season in the rear-view mirror Theteam took a major blow before this season even startedwhen star senior Taylor Opelt injured her knee in anopen gym workout She was last yearrsquos leading scorerand would have been the centerpiece of Petrirsquos offensethis season

Petrirsquos main group of players this year includesseniors Ashley Walker Lexi Hinker and Renee Herdrich junior Kassidy Lamovec and sophomores Kelly Nielsenand Kaylee Learman Seniors Kaylee Meyer NatalieHackel and Kristyn Nigon are also getting considerableminutes early in the season

In addition to losing Opelt Petri also has to replacegraduates Morgan Hinker and Madison Lucas Thatleaves a huge scoring void to fill which Petri willattempt to cover by having the Indians play a slow tempostyle in which they wait patiently for good shots

ldquoWersquore trying to focus on playing our offense andplaying to our tempordquo she said ldquoWersquore trying to slowthings downrdquo

Several of the key players on this yearrsquos team wereforced into varsity action a year ago and that is payingdividends now

ldquoWith those freshmen who played it kind of got thenerves out of the way a little bitrdquo Petri said

With everyone more comfortable in their roles thisyearrsquos team is playing better as a group One of theIndiansrsquo strengths should be cohesion

ldquoI think this year our chemistry our working welltogether is a strengthrdquo Petri said ldquoWersquore coming closeras a teamrdquo

Shooting has been an issue early for the Indians The

team needs improvement from the perimeter the coachsaid as it has little height to set up plays to the post

ldquoThe shooting is getting betterrdquo Petri said ldquoWersquoreworking on itrdquo

The defense is also showing improvement withplayers adjusting to their responsibilities in the man-

Greenwood girls looking for improvement as season progresses

to-man schemeldquoItrsquos definitely better than last yearrdquo Petri said

ldquoWersquore getting to the spots faster We understand the

rotationsrdquoThe players are also aware of the need for better ball

handling One reason for slowing the tempo down is toavoid situations where opponents pressure the Indiansinto turnovers

ldquoOther teams are aggressive and we tend to panicrdquo

Petri saidThe goals for this yearrsquos teams are modest with an

emphasis on improvement Petri said she wants her

team to develop its skills and get better each time outand the wins will come

ldquoIn time we can come together and play our offenserdquoshe said ldquoObviously I want to have a better team thanlast year Winning half our games would be our ultimategoal right nowrdquo

Loyal head boys basketball coach Rob Love has been

making it a point in practices to have his players look upat the individual school sports banners on the wall andto have them notice that ldquo1968rdquo is the last number on theboys basketball programrsquos conference championship list

ldquoI keep pointing it out and saying lsquoThat number canrsquotsurviversquordquo Love said ldquoWersquove got to put another numberup thererdquo

The Greyhounds are off to a 1-1 start in their questto become the first conference champs in the sport in48 years They beat Granton on Dec 4 after losing topreseason favorite Marshfield Columbus and Love saidthis yearrsquos team is ldquostrides aheadrdquo of the 2014-15 versionthat ended up with an 8-8 mark and fifth-place finish in theEastern Cloverbelt Love has some starting experienceback in his lineup and several talented underclassmenwho will see significant playing time and the team shouldimprove as the youngsters learn the speed of the varsitygame

Love has to replace graduates Ryley Fischer LoganGenteman and Tyler Prust who all were significant

contributors a year ago Back in his starting lineup are junior guard Riley Geiger and 6rsquo4rdquo swingman CameronBrussow who give the Greyhounds a potent 1-2 scoringpunch both from the perimeter and the lane SeniorDerrick Howard also returns to the front line to battlefor rebounds and points and seniors Ben Zimmermanand Marcus Genteman will share one starting spotdepending on a given nightrsquos opponent Sophomore LukeBogdonovich is the other starting guard

Underclassmen who will play important minutesinclude sophomores Waylon Froeba Elliot Genteman andJordan Radue and freshman Quinn Brussow Theyrsquoll alsoplay with the junior varsity team but Love will need themfor varsity minutes for depth Senior Josh Zupanc out forthe sport for the first time will get some minutes as well

In Geiger and Cameron Brussow Loyal has a pair ofplayers who can easily post 20-point nights Geiger the2015 WIAA Division 5 state tournament 3-point shootingchampion is even more accurate from behind the arcthan last year Love said

ldquoThe pleasant surprise has been Riley Geigerrsquosperimeter gamerdquo Love said of the early seasondevelopments ldquoHersquos as good as Irsquove seen him Riley hasnrsquotmissed a beat I didnrsquot think hersquod get better but he hasrdquo

Brussow can also bury shots from 3-point range butdefenders had best be careful so he doesnrsquot drive pastthem A tall player with ball-handling skills Brussowcan score from anywhere

ldquoHe doesnrsquot have to play post because he can handlethe ballrdquo Love said ldquoCameron is a kid who can create hisown shot and thatrsquos a unique thing He has pretty highaspirations this yearrdquo

Bogdonovich who was ineligible to play last year aftertransferring to Loyal will bring the Greyhounds a much-needed third scoring option

ldquoWhen our two scoring leaders get things going weexpect defenses to adjust to guard Cameron and RileyrdquoLove said ldquoLuke has a great opportunity to expose thoseadjustments Hersquos got a real high basketball IQ Hersquos calmHe doesnrsquot get rattled His fundamental skills are reallyreally strongrdquo

Love does have some concerns about depth With new

WIAA rule changes for two 18-minutes halves insteadof four 8-minute quarters plus more emphasis on hand-checking players could get in foul trouble

ldquoFouls are my biggest concernrdquo the coach said ldquoIf ourtop three or four get in foul trouble we have guys whocan play but not play the same wayrdquo

That situation should ease some as the seasonprogresses and the younger players gain experience

Also Love said ldquoWersquove had to change the way we playdefense because of the way theyrsquore calling foulsrdquo Loyalwill back away from its aggressive full-court pressureand settle back more to conserve fouls

Even though he has a group of players with good skillsLove said he is still preaching the necessity of taking careof the basketball when the team is on offense

ldquoBall security is priority one two and threerdquo he saidldquoWe have to secure the ball more We have to understandthe value of every possessionrdquo

A pair of intangibles the Greyhounds will use as theytry to match up with the conference favorites are a highbasketball IQ and leadership Love said this group knowsthe game and can benefit from that

ldquoSome of the boys think basketball It makes sense tothemrdquo Love said

Geiger and Cameron Brussow will provide theleadership both in scoring and as floor captains

ldquoOur floor leaders were sophomores last year andtheyrsquore more experienced this yearrdquo Love said ldquoWersquorein good shape Wersquore strides ahead of where we werelast yearrdquo

Love sees Columbus and defending champion Spenceras the teams to beat in the ECC this year Neillsville andLoyal should be also be near the top of the pile when thedust settles with a key for the Greyhounds being ableto keep their leaders injury-free and out of foul trouble

ldquoWersquove got to keep some of our kids on the floorrdquoLove said

Greyhound boys look to make their mark in competitive ECC

T h e L o y a l g i r l sbasketball team came

so close last season todefeating annual nemesisW i s c o n s i n R a p i d sAssumption in a WIAADivision 5 sectional semi-final game Will this bethe year the Greyhoundsfinally get over theAssumption hump to takea big step toward the statetournament

It rsquo s very early int h e s e a s o n b u t t h eGreyhounds proved theyare to be taken seriouslythis season by pushingAssumption to the wireagain in a Thanksgivingweekend tournament Alast-second shot that justmissed would have liftedLoyal over the Royals inthat one but the game atleast showed area teamsthat Loyal is a legitimatecontender again thiswinter To take the nextstep Loyal has to developits bench said head coachMike Rueth and playthrough a brutal non-conference schedule thatincludes the early season1 and 2 ranked Division5 teams in the state

Loyal finished 22-4overall last year and wonits first Eastern CloverbeltConference championship

The stellar season endedwith a 56-52 sectional lossto Assumption a gamein which the Greyhoundsovercame a double digit deficit in the second half toalmost steal a win That team included now-departedseniors Missy Benz Jaelynn Young and Katie Hoeserthree players who will all be difficult to replace Havingnew reserves step in will be a key to Loyalrsquos 2015-16season Rueth said

Loyalrsquos starting five is as strong as ever Senior pointguard Devyn Schoonover and junior front-line playersMorgan Reinwand and Karsyn Rueth are all back intheir starting roles with a summer of competitive AAUbasketball behind them

ldquoYou can see the time that those kids put inrdquo coachRueth said

Moving into the starting lineup this year are seniorsJaedyn Pieper and Ryleigh Wilke two players who werea part of the main rotation last year They have plenty

of experience the coach said and have already proventhemselves as capable starters in early games this year

ldquoThey passed the test on the first nightrdquo Rueth saidldquoRight now our starting five really gets itrdquo

Repeat ECC title and more are on Loyal girls teamrsquos list of goals

Amanda Zettler Alexis Dietsche (back) Hailey Rueth Bailey Parker Karsyn Rueth Ryleigh Wilke and BryannaRayhorn

Players who Rueth is counting on to step in withvaluable contributions will include senior post playerBailey Parker who played on the varsity last year andknows the system well and freshman Hailey Rueth ayet-unproven player who will be counted on to play alow-post spot and contribute on defense and rebounding

ldquoShe has all the ability in the worldrdquo Rueth said ldquoWersquollwant her to be an offensive and defensive rebounder anda defensive specialist for us What she could do for us isall the little thingsrdquo

Others who will see varsity time include seniorAmanda Zettler junior Alexis Dietsche and sophomoreBryanna Rayhorn Their development and contributionswill be important because games are longer now with therule change to halves intend of quarters and an increasedemphasis on preventing contact on the court

They have to fill a rolerdquo Rueth said of his reservesldquoBecause of the way things are being called with thenew rules you have to have a bench Theyrsquore just callingeverything so tight nowrdquo

Having an experiencedstarting team at the

beginning of the seasonis a definite advantageRueth said because hedidnrsquot have to start withbasics However it willtake some time for thereserve players to catchup and being patient untilthey do will be important

ldquoWhen you start yourfirst practice yoursquore goingat full speed right fromthe beginningrdquo Ruethsaid ldquoThatrsquos where ourreserves are a little bitbehind Our starting five isquality We just donrsquot havethe bench we had last yearbut I think we can Wersquoregoing to get them thererdquo

Rueth believes thisyearrsquos team again has thetalent to win a conferencechampionship and somegoals are in sight beyondthat Loyal has alreadybeaten perennial ECCpower Neillsville andexpects competition fromOwen-Withee and Spencerdown the road

ldquoTherersquos no doubt wecould repeat as conferencechamps but things have togo our wayrdquo the coach saidldquoTheir (players) goals areto set on being conferencechampions againrdquo

The players also want to

win the conference cross-ver title game this yearLast winter they werebeaten by a Fall Creek

team that advanced to the state tournamentTo get his Greyhounds prepared for the inevitable

tough competition in the WIAA post-season playoffsRueth put together a difficult non-conference schedulethat includes the Assumption tournament a non-conference game against a strong Elk Mound team anda January Saturday road trip to take on Barneveld thedefending D5 state champ that is again ranked 1 Ruethis hoping that schedule will help it improve enough toget past the playoff roadblock it has encountered thepast few seasons

ldquoWersquore hoping that our non-conference schedule isgoing to get us over the humprdquo the coach said

To repeat Spencer needs young players to develop quicklyThe 2014-15 Spencer

boys basketball teamthat won the EasternCloverbelt Conferencetitle with a 14-2 leaguerecord was a mature onewith several players whohad been varsity startersfor two or even threeyears The 2015-16 teamthat will try to repeat asconference champs is notas experienced and maytake some time to developbefore itrsquos ready to play itsbest ball

The start of Spencerrsquosseason has been delayedby the football teamrsquos runto the state title gameThe Rockets postponed

their first two scheduledgames and were to openthe season with a Dec8 non-conference gameagainst Edgar Once theschedule begins coachRandy Recknerrsquos squadwill be faced with thetask of getting somenewcomers up to speedto complement a startingline-up that still includessome varsity veterans

Spencer has 2014-15 ECC player of the year Bobby Pilzback for one more season and he again will be reliedupon for his scoring abilities With starters Miles WeberNate Mercier and Mitchell Susa all gone via graduationPilzrsquo points will be even more critical this year asReckner looks for ways to bolster the teamrsquos offensivepunch Itrsquos not helping any that projected starting guard

Noah Zastrow and post player Dakota Andreae are bothlost for significant time with football-related injurieswhich seriously crimps the Rocketsrsquo depth

Joining Pilz on the starting squad will be Ryan Bussea senior who will be starting for the third-straight year

seniors Calvin Lenz and Jonny Tomke and sophomoreAaron Pankratz Lenz though not a starter in the pastplayed a crucial role on last yearrsquos team and is a versatilescorer who can defend Tomke is athletic and ldquocan helpus in a lot of waysrdquo Reckner said

Those players are proven at the varsity level whilePankratz will get his first taste of it this season Hersquoll be

the teamrsquos starting point guard and his skills as a ballhandler will be tested

ldquoWersquore asking a lot of himrdquo Reckner said ldquoHersquos avery smart kidrdquo

Others who will play in the main rotation will include

sophomores Jack Bezlyk and Jacob Miller Both of them

were important parts of a successful junior varsityteam a year ago and will be called upon to step up thenext level

Bezlyk should add some offenseldquoI think hersquos going to surprise a lot of people with

his scoring abilityrdquo Reckner said ldquoHersquos pretty athleticrdquoMiller is a post player with natural rebounding

instinctsldquoHersquos got the knack of finding the ballrdquo the coach

saidFinding new sources of of fense will be a key for the

Rockets as Susa and Mercier both averaged in doublefigures last year

ldquoWersquove got to replace a lot of scoringrdquo Reckner saidand Pilz is the most likely source

ldquoWersquore going to have to depend on him a lotrdquo Recknersaid with Busse and Lenz also being asked to pick uptheir offensive contributions

Adding to the challenge of repeating as conferencechamps is the relative youth of this team Reckner

has been spoiled in recent years with a plentitude ofexperience but thatrsquos not the case this winter

ldquoI had 2- and 3-year starters last year This year wersquorea little more inexperiencedrdquo Reckner said ldquoTherersquos a lotof teaching going on with the younger guysrdquo

Depth could be a problem for Spencer especially earlyin the season while the sophomores are growing intotheir new roles With Zastrow probably not likely to playuntil late in the season and Andreae out for probably amonth Spencer will have to rely on young players tolearn quickly

ldquoOur depth could be an issuerdquo the coach said ldquoWeprobably would be 9-deep with those two Now wersquoreprobably seven or eight just because of our inexperienceOur conference is going to be really good Hopefully they(younger players) can learn on the flyrdquo

Marshfield Columbus is looking like Spencerrsquos mainchallenge to a repeat ECC title with Neillsville andOwen-Withee also looking strong Reckner said ForSpencer to be atop the standings again at seasonrsquos end

a lot has to fall into placeldquoWe need to be consistent we need to gel as a teamrdquo

Just a few games into the 2015-16 season Spencer headgirls basketball coach Brian Abel has seen significantimprovement over last year in the way his team isperforming The Rockets are getting mentioned by othercoaches in the Eastern Cloverbelt Conference as a teamto watch out for as Spencer blends decent height and agood outside game into an improving program

Abelrsquos teams went 6-17 two years ago and 6-16 lastyear but this yearrsquos group is off to a 2-1 start with ECCwins over Colby and Marshfield Columbus Those areteams that swept the Rockets last season so Abel has agood sense that things are improving in his programThe players are familiar now with Abelrsquos coaching styleand terminolog y he said and can focus more on playingbasketball

This yearrsquos starting squad is an interesting mix ofinside-outside skills Senior Nadia King returns at thepoint while sophomore guard Lexi Baehr is in her secondvarsity year with perimeter shooting prowess JuniorCourtney Buss mans another spot while seniors Macie

Weber and Sydney Kindgive the Rockets a stronginside presence

Kallie Reckner andLiz Endreas may also getsome starts and will be inthe main rotation KatieFleischmann and JessicaBecker will also get someminutes while SabrinaVircks and Sadie Mercierwill split varsityjuniorvarsity time at least in theearly part of the season

Abel has to find ways toreplace the contributionsof Abby Varsho MelissaLehman and KaitlynWalter who all graduatedHe still has plenty ofreturning players to turnto though and that hashelped in the early season

ldquoTherersquos a lot lessteaching this year becausewersquove got a lot comingbackrdquo Abel said ldquoYou cansee it with our fast startrdquo

Spencer will continue

to run a motion offenselooking for the openperimeter shot or dumpingthe ball inside to Weber or Kind if they have a favorablematchup on the post If the shooters are on the systemworks well

ldquoIt keeps that inside-outside game working Itrsquos a goodbalance so farrdquo Abel said

Defensively the Rockets prefer to fall into a half-court2-3 zone but will come out to play man-to-man at timesThe Rockets want to prevent easy fast-break points andtry to get back in defensive positions

ldquoWe donrsquot want teams to run on usrdquo Abel said ldquoWersquore

very good at getting up and down the court I feel thisteam is very versatile in what we can dordquo

Depth-wise Abel says he has enough quality playersto substitute as needed

ldquoWe have decent depth Itrsquos not shallow by any meansrdquohe said ldquoWe can go eight or nine deep and be alrightrdquo

The Rockets still have to work on some fundamentalsto compete with top teams

ldquoWersquove got to box out defensivelyrdquo he said ldquoOn offensetherersquos an emphasis on limiting turnovers We hadproblems last year with passing under pressurerdquo

One thing Abel is looking for is steady improvementThe year is off to a good start but he wants to maintainthe development as the season progresses

ldquoItrsquos definitely been an improvement from the yearbeforerdquo he said of the teamrsquos early season ldquoI think thegirls just have another year under the system Itrsquos thatcontinual growthrdquo

One goal for Abel this season is to sweep conference

teams that Spencer split its two games with last yearand at least split with those who beat Spencer twiceThatrsquos already happened with the wins over Colby andColumbus

Abel sees Loyal Neillsville and Owen-Withee asthe usual conference favorites Spencer may not be tothe level of those programs yet he said but continuedimprovement will narrow the gap If attitude meansanything his team will be competitive

ldquoThey put the time in They donrsquot want to loserdquo Abelsaid of his players

Spencer-Columbus wrestlers looking for big results this yearTwo seasons ago Spencer head wrestling coach Jake

Zschernitz had no one to fill his lightweight positionsLast year he had the lightweights but then not theheavyweights Finally this season with the resumptionof a co-op program with Marshfield ColumbusZschernitz has everybody he needs and the Rockets lookto be strong

With three wrestlers returning this season afterqualifying for the state meet a year ago -- plus the additionof Columbus athletes and a few underclassmen -- theRockets look to be headed for a strong 2015-16 campaignThey wonrsquot have to overcome the forfeit points theyallowed in the last two seasons and that has Zschernitzthinking the Rockets can repeat as Cloverbelt Conferencedual meet champions and also take the conferencetournament

Spencer-Columbus will be solid at several weightsReturning are 2015 state qualifiers sophomore BryceShaw at 126 pounds senior Tim Bauer at 138 andsophomore Hunter Luepke at 195 Seniors HunterHildebrandt (170) Austin Post (132) and Nate Neumann

(160) also return to the varsity lineupColumbus freshmen Jake Dick (106) and Zach Wheeler-Savoy (113) will take over the lightweight spots whilesophomore Dominick Wichlacz will be at 120 SophomoreJeremiah Giles is slotted in at 145 and freshman CarsonHildebrandt will be at 152 Senior Jake Hainzlsperger willman the 182-pound class senior Elijah Welsh and juniorMax Johnson will contend at 220 and freshman LoganZschernitz and senior Ryan Schauer are the heavyweightchallengers

Shaw placed sixth at state last year the highest finishever for a Spencer freshman Bauer worked hard overthe summer to get even better than his state-qualifyingform of a year ago and Luepke is back as a defendingconference champion and state qualifier HunterHildebrandt and Neumann are also 2015 conferencetournament champions

ldquoThat whole group is going to be a big part of oursuccessrdquo Zschernitz said

Newcomers expected to help include Carson

Hildebrandt and Logan Zschernitz who both haveconsiderable youth wrestling experience Welsh couldbe an interesting wrestler to watch and is someonewho the coach describes as ldquoa naturalrdquo but hasnrsquot beenable to compete at the varsity level because Columbusdidnrsquot have a program Austin Post will bring his footballathleticism to the mat as well and Johnson -- who did notgo out for wrestling last year -- was a sectional qualifieras a freshman

The addition of the Columbus wrestlers at last givesZschernitz the athletes he needs at the right weights

ldquoIf we didnrsquot have them the lightweights would behard to fill againrdquo the coach said

The addition of Columbus will push the Rocketprogram into Division 2 for the state tournament seriesbut Zschernitz doesnrsquot see that as an issue In fact movingout of D3 means the Rockets can avoid such usual smallschool powerhouses as Stratford and Edgar

Zschernitz expects his team can repeat as Cloverbeltdual meet champs and should be a top contender at theconference meet Last year the Rockets lost to Stanley-Boyd by only a few points partly because it had to forfeitat two weights

Not this year And not only does Zschernitz have a fullteam but he has a group thatrsquos as confident as can be afterthe Spencer-Columbus football team went all the way tothe state championship game Many of the athletes areon both teams

ldquoTop to bottom this is definitely the best team wersquovehadrdquo Zschernitz said ldquoWersquore fairly solid all the waythrough Wersquore hoping with the success of the footballco-op it carries over to wrestling Wrestling and footballgo hand-in-hand in my opinion I think the run in footballhelped just to show them they can get to that level if theywant to workrdquo

6 ndash Wednesday December 9 2015 WINTER SPORTS PREVIEW

Greenwood head boys basketball coach EricJohnsonrsquos entire starting five from last year put ona graduation robe in May and headed off to newadventures Left behind in the Greenwood program area few experienced varsity players a wealth of talentedunderclassmen and a question mark as to how fast thisyearrsquos team can develop

In Johnsonrsquos first year as head coach his senior-dominated squad posted a 7-9 record in the EasternCloverbelt Conference and a 10-13 overall mark Gonefrom the group are graduates Booker Bredlau and LoganJohnson who both received all-conference mention andfellow starters Dane Toburen Delten Schmitz and DylanNorth To say Johnson has a rebuilding job on his handsthis year may be just a bit of an understatement

he does have a pair of seniors back in Decker Lindnerand Sam Revier who saw considerable varsity time in2014-15 Joining them as starters will be juniors TrevorSerocki and Zach Zimbauer and sophomore DevinToburen Junior Walker Wuethrich will usually be thefirst guy off the bench with senior Aaron Lindner

junior Cole Lucas and sophomore Tyler Genteman alsofiguring into the rotationldquoWersquore inexperienced at the varsity levelrdquo Johnson

said ldquoThe kids are going to have to catch up to the gamespeed Irsquove got basketball talent out there Hopefully byChristmas time the kids will be caught up and we canbe competitive in every gamerdquo

Greenwood started the season with a non-conferenceloss to Abbotsford and ECC losses to Colby andNeillsville That result is to be expected at least for awhile as the players learn what it takes to compete atthe varsity pace

ldquoThey understand the offense and defense andwhat I want out of themrdquo Johnson said ldquoThe kidsall understand the offense really well Itrsquos just gettingthem up to game speed and you canrsquot simulate that inpracticerdquo

Serocki is showing solid skills at point guard andRevier and Decker Lindner should give the Indiansrebounding defense and inside scoring Toburen is a

versatile player who should develop as he gets varsityminutes

ldquoHe can score inside and outsiderdquo the coach saidldquoHe can handle the ball and rebound He gives me alittle of everythingrdquo

Greenwood will not be able to rely on a strongperimeter game as the young shooters are still tryingto find their range It could be a streaky season as aplayer or two gets hot then cools down

ldquoI donrsquot have a pure shooterrdquo Johnson said ldquoI haveguys who can stroke it but they can lose the stroke just as fastrdquo

Ball security is another area of concern The Indianshave averaged more turnovers than Johnson wants inthe teamrsquos first games Fouls have also been an issuebut that is partly due to officialsrsquo new emphasis onhand-checking and a switch to longer halves intend ofquarters

Johnson said he expects a balanced scoring attackat least until someone emerges as a consistent source

of pointsldquoNobody is really going to stand outrdquo he said ldquoI have

not found that guy yet I hope either Devin or Trevorwill develop into that guyrdquo

Johnson sees Marshfield Columbus as the best teamin the ECC this year with defending champion SpencerNeillsville Owen-Withee and Loyal all figuring to be inthe top half

ldquoHopefully we can fall in somewhere behind thatrdquohe said

Greenwood head basketball coach Carey Petrirsquosfirst year at the helm of the program was not the mostpleasant one with most of her starting and contributingplayers suspended for half the season and the juniorvarsity players called up to fill in One positive fromthat experience is that several young players got varsitytime -- albeit before they were ready -- and that shouldtranslate to a more mature team this season

Petrirsquos Indians are off to a 1-3 start this season as theytry to put last yearrsquos season in the rear-view mirror Theteam took a major blow before this season even startedwhen star senior Taylor Opelt injured her knee in anopen gym workout She was last yearrsquos leading scorerand would have been the centerpiece of Petrirsquos offensethis season

Petrirsquos main group of players this year includesseniors Ashley Walker Lexi Hinker and Renee Herdrich junior Kassidy Lamovec and sophomores Kelly Nielsenand Kaylee Learman Seniors Kaylee Meyer NatalieHackel and Kristyn Nigon are also getting considerableminutes early in the season

In addition to losing Opelt Petri also has to replacegraduates Morgan Hinker and Madison Lucas Thatleaves a huge scoring void to fill which Petri willattempt to cover by having the Indians play a slow tempostyle in which they wait patiently for good shots

ldquoWersquore trying to focus on playing our offense andplaying to our tempordquo she said ldquoWersquore trying to slowthings downrdquo

Several of the key players on this yearrsquos team wereforced into varsity action a year ago and that is payingdividends now

ldquoWith those freshmen who played it kind of got thenerves out of the way a little bitrdquo Petri said

With everyone more comfortable in their roles thisyearrsquos team is playing better as a group One of theIndiansrsquo strengths should be cohesion

ldquoI think this year our chemistry our working welltogether is a strengthrdquo Petri said ldquoWersquore coming closeras a teamrdquo

Shooting has been an issue early for the Indians The

team needs improvement from the perimeter the coachsaid as it has little height to set up plays to the post

ldquoThe shooting is getting betterrdquo Petri said ldquoWersquoreworking on itrdquo

The defense is also showing improvement withplayers adjusting to their responsibilities in the man-

Greenwood girls looking for improvement as season progresses

to-man schemeldquoItrsquos definitely better than last yearrdquo Petri said

ldquoWersquore getting to the spots faster We understand the

rotationsrdquoThe players are also aware of the need for better ball

handling One reason for slowing the tempo down is toavoid situations where opponents pressure the Indiansinto turnovers

ldquoOther teams are aggressive and we tend to panicrdquo

Petri saidThe goals for this yearrsquos teams are modest with an

emphasis on improvement Petri said she wants her

team to develop its skills and get better each time outand the wins will come

ldquoIn time we can come together and play our offenserdquoshe said ldquoObviously I want to have a better team thanlast year Winning half our games would be our ultimategoal right nowrdquo

Loyal head boys basketball coach Rob Love has been

making it a point in practices to have his players look upat the individual school sports banners on the wall andto have them notice that ldquo1968rdquo is the last number on theboys basketball programrsquos conference championship list

ldquoI keep pointing it out and saying lsquoThat number canrsquotsurviversquordquo Love said ldquoWersquove got to put another numberup thererdquo

The Greyhounds are off to a 1-1 start in their questto become the first conference champs in the sport in48 years They beat Granton on Dec 4 after losing topreseason favorite Marshfield Columbus and Love saidthis yearrsquos team is ldquostrides aheadrdquo of the 2014-15 versionthat ended up with an 8-8 mark and fifth-place finish in theEastern Cloverbelt Love has some starting experienceback in his lineup and several talented underclassmenwho will see significant playing time and the team shouldimprove as the youngsters learn the speed of the varsitygame

Love has to replace graduates Ryley Fischer LoganGenteman and Tyler Prust who all were significant

contributors a year ago Back in his starting lineup are junior guard Riley Geiger and 6rsquo4rdquo swingman CameronBrussow who give the Greyhounds a potent 1-2 scoringpunch both from the perimeter and the lane SeniorDerrick Howard also returns to the front line to battlefor rebounds and points and seniors Ben Zimmermanand Marcus Genteman will share one starting spotdepending on a given nightrsquos opponent Sophomore LukeBogdonovich is the other starting guard

Underclassmen who will play important minutesinclude sophomores Waylon Froeba Elliot Genteman andJordan Radue and freshman Quinn Brussow Theyrsquoll alsoplay with the junior varsity team but Love will need themfor varsity minutes for depth Senior Josh Zupanc out forthe sport for the first time will get some minutes as well

In Geiger and Cameron Brussow Loyal has a pair ofplayers who can easily post 20-point nights Geiger the2015 WIAA Division 5 state tournament 3-point shootingchampion is even more accurate from behind the arcthan last year Love said

ldquoThe pleasant surprise has been Riley Geigerrsquosperimeter gamerdquo Love said of the early seasondevelopments ldquoHersquos as good as Irsquove seen him Riley hasnrsquotmissed a beat I didnrsquot think hersquod get better but he hasrdquo

Brussow can also bury shots from 3-point range butdefenders had best be careful so he doesnrsquot drive pastthem A tall player with ball-handling skills Brussowcan score from anywhere

ldquoHe doesnrsquot have to play post because he can handlethe ballrdquo Love said ldquoCameron is a kid who can create hisown shot and thatrsquos a unique thing He has pretty highaspirations this yearrdquo

Bogdonovich who was ineligible to play last year aftertransferring to Loyal will bring the Greyhounds a much-needed third scoring option

ldquoWhen our two scoring leaders get things going weexpect defenses to adjust to guard Cameron and RileyrdquoLove said ldquoLuke has a great opportunity to expose thoseadjustments Hersquos got a real high basketball IQ Hersquos calmHe doesnrsquot get rattled His fundamental skills are reallyreally strongrdquo

Love does have some concerns about depth With new

WIAA rule changes for two 18-minutes halves insteadof four 8-minute quarters plus more emphasis on hand-checking players could get in foul trouble

ldquoFouls are my biggest concernrdquo the coach said ldquoIf ourtop three or four get in foul trouble we have guys whocan play but not play the same wayrdquo

That situation should ease some as the seasonprogresses and the younger players gain experience

Also Love said ldquoWersquove had to change the way we playdefense because of the way theyrsquore calling foulsrdquo Loyalwill back away from its aggressive full-court pressureand settle back more to conserve fouls

Even though he has a group of players with good skillsLove said he is still preaching the necessity of taking careof the basketball when the team is on offense

ldquoBall security is priority one two and threerdquo he saidldquoWe have to secure the ball more We have to understandthe value of every possessionrdquo

A pair of intangibles the Greyhounds will use as theytry to match up with the conference favorites are a highbasketball IQ and leadership Love said this group knowsthe game and can benefit from that

ldquoSome of the boys think basketball It makes sense tothemrdquo Love said

Geiger and Cameron Brussow will provide theleadership both in scoring and as floor captains

ldquoOur floor leaders were sophomores last year andtheyrsquore more experienced this yearrdquo Love said ldquoWersquorein good shape Wersquore strides ahead of where we werelast yearrdquo

Love sees Columbus and defending champion Spenceras the teams to beat in the ECC this year Neillsville andLoyal should be also be near the top of the pile when thedust settles with a key for the Greyhounds being ableto keep their leaders injury-free and out of foul trouble

ldquoWersquove got to keep some of our kids on the floorrdquoLove said

Greyhound boys look to make their mark in competitive ECC

T h e L o y a l g i r l sbasketball team came

so close last season todefeating annual nemesisW i s c o n s i n R a p i d sAssumption in a WIAADivision 5 sectional semi-final game Will this bethe year the Greyhoundsfinally get over theAssumption hump to takea big step toward the statetournament

It rsquo s very early int h e s e a s o n b u t t h eGreyhounds proved theyare to be taken seriouslythis season by pushingAssumption to the wireagain in a Thanksgivingweekend tournament Alast-second shot that justmissed would have liftedLoyal over the Royals inthat one but the game atleast showed area teamsthat Loyal is a legitimatecontender again thiswinter To take the nextstep Loyal has to developits bench said head coachMike Rueth and playthrough a brutal non-conference schedule thatincludes the early season1 and 2 ranked Division5 teams in the state

Loyal finished 22-4overall last year and wonits first Eastern CloverbeltConference championship

The stellar season endedwith a 56-52 sectional lossto Assumption a gamein which the Greyhoundsovercame a double digit deficit in the second half toalmost steal a win That team included now-departedseniors Missy Benz Jaelynn Young and Katie Hoeserthree players who will all be difficult to replace Havingnew reserves step in will be a key to Loyalrsquos 2015-16season Rueth said

Loyalrsquos starting five is as strong as ever Senior pointguard Devyn Schoonover and junior front-line playersMorgan Reinwand and Karsyn Rueth are all back intheir starting roles with a summer of competitive AAUbasketball behind them

ldquoYou can see the time that those kids put inrdquo coachRueth said

Moving into the starting lineup this year are seniorsJaedyn Pieper and Ryleigh Wilke two players who werea part of the main rotation last year They have plenty

of experience the coach said and have already proventhemselves as capable starters in early games this year

ldquoThey passed the test on the first nightrdquo Rueth saidldquoRight now our starting five really gets itrdquo

Repeat ECC title and more are on Loyal girls teamrsquos list of goals

The 2015-16 Loyal girls basketball team (front from left) Jaedyn Pieper Morgan Reinwand Devyn Schoonover

Amanda Zettler Alexis Dietsche (back) Hailey Rueth Bailey Parker Karsyn Rueth Ryleigh Wilke and BryannaRayhorn

Players who Rueth is counting on to step in withvaluable contributions will include senior post playerBailey Parker who played on the varsity last year andknows the system well and freshman Hailey Rueth ayet-unproven player who will be counted on to play alow-post spot and contribute on defense and rebounding

ldquoShe has all the ability in the worldrdquo Rueth said ldquoWersquollwant her to be an offensive and defensive rebounder anda defensive specialist for us What she could do for us isall the little thingsrdquo

Others who will see varsity time include seniorAmanda Zettler junior Alexis Dietsche and sophomoreBryanna Rayhorn Their development and contributionswill be important because games are longer now with therule change to halves intend of quarters and an increasedemphasis on preventing contact on the court

They have to fill a rolerdquo Rueth said of his reservesldquoBecause of the way things are being called with thenew rules you have to have a bench Theyrsquore just callingeverything so tight nowrdquo

Having an experiencedstarting team at the

beginning of the seasonis a definite advantageRueth said because hedidnrsquot have to start withbasics However it willtake some time for thereserve players to catchup and being patient untilthey do will be important

ldquoWhen you start yourfirst practice yoursquore goingat full speed right fromthe beginningrdquo Ruethsaid ldquoThatrsquos where ourreserves are a little bitbehind Our starting five isquality We just donrsquot havethe bench we had last yearbut I think we can Wersquoregoing to get them thererdquo

Rueth believes thisyearrsquos team again has thetalent to win a conferencechampionship and somegoals are in sight beyondthat Loyal has alreadybeaten perennial ECCpower Neillsville andexpects competition fromOwen-Withee and Spencerdown the road

ldquoTherersquos no doubt wecould repeat as conferencechamps but things have togo our wayrdquo the coach saidldquoTheir (players) goals areto set on being conferencechampions againrdquo

The players also want to

win the conference cross-ver title game this yearLast winter they werebeaten by a Fall Creek

team that advanced to the state tournamentTo get his Greyhounds prepared for the inevitable

tough competition in the WIAA post-season playoffsRueth put together a difficult non-conference schedulethat includes the Assumption tournament a non-conference game against a strong Elk Mound team anda January Saturday road trip to take on Barneveld thedefending D5 state champ that is again ranked 1 Ruethis hoping that schedule will help it improve enough toget past the playoff roadblock it has encountered thepast few seasons

ldquoWersquore hoping that our non-conference schedule isgoing to get us over the humprdquo the coach said

To repeat Spencer needs young players to develop quicklyThe 2014-15 Spencer

boys basketball teamthat won the EasternCloverbelt Conferencetitle with a 14-2 leaguerecord was a mature onewith several players whohad been varsity startersfor two or even threeyears The 2015-16 teamthat will try to repeat asconference champs is notas experienced and maytake some time to developbefore itrsquos ready to play itsbest ball

The start of Spencerrsquosseason has been delayedby the football teamrsquos runto the state title gameThe Rockets postponed

their first two scheduledgames and were to openthe season with a Dec8 non-conference gameagainst Edgar Once theschedule begins coachRandy Recknerrsquos squadwill be faced with thetask of getting somenewcomers up to speedto complement a startingline-up that still includessome varsity veterans

Spencer has 2014-15 ECC player of the year Bobby Pilzback for one more season and he again will be reliedupon for his scoring abilities With starters Miles WeberNate Mercier and Mitchell Susa all gone via graduationPilzrsquo points will be even more critical this year asReckner looks for ways to bolster the teamrsquos offensivepunch Itrsquos not helping any that projected starting guard

Noah Zastrow and post player Dakota Andreae are bothlost for significant time with football-related injurieswhich seriously crimps the Rocketsrsquo depth

Joining Pilz on the starting squad will be Ryan Bussea senior who will be starting for the third-straight year

seniors Calvin Lenz and Jonny Tomke and sophomoreAaron Pankratz Lenz though not a starter in the pastplayed a crucial role on last yearrsquos team and is a versatilescorer who can defend Tomke is athletic and ldquocan helpus in a lot of waysrdquo Reckner said

Those players are proven at the varsity level whilePankratz will get his first taste of it this season Hersquoll be

the teamrsquos starting point guard and his skills as a ballhandler will be tested

ldquoWersquore asking a lot of himrdquo Reckner said ldquoHersquos avery smart kidrdquo

Others who will play in the main rotation will include

sophomores Jack Bezlyk and Jacob Miller Both of them

were important parts of a successful junior varsityteam a year ago and will be called upon to step up thenext level

Bezlyk should add some offenseldquoI think hersquos going to surprise a lot of people with

his scoring abilityrdquo Reckner said ldquoHersquos pretty athleticrdquoMiller is a post player with natural rebounding

instinctsldquoHersquos got the knack of finding the ballrdquo the coach

saidFinding new sources of of fense will be a key for the

Rockets as Susa and Mercier both averaged in doublefigures last year

ldquoWersquove got to replace a lot of scoringrdquo Reckner saidand Pilz is the most likely source

ldquoWersquore going to have to depend on him a lotrdquo Recknersaid with Busse and Lenz also being asked to pick uptheir offensive contributions

Adding to the challenge of repeating as conferencechamps is the relative youth of this team Reckner

has been spoiled in recent years with a plentitude ofexperience but thatrsquos not the case this winter

ldquoI had 2- and 3-year starters last year This year wersquorea little more inexperiencedrdquo Reckner said ldquoTherersquos a lotof teaching going on with the younger guysrdquo

Depth could be a problem for Spencer especially earlyin the season while the sophomores are growing intotheir new roles With Zastrow probably not likely to playuntil late in the season and Andreae out for probably amonth Spencer will have to rely on young players tolearn quickly

ldquoOur depth could be an issuerdquo the coach said ldquoWeprobably would be 9-deep with those two Now wersquoreprobably seven or eight just because of our inexperienceOur conference is going to be really good Hopefully they(younger players) can learn on the flyrdquo

Marshfield Columbus is looking like Spencerrsquos mainchallenge to a repeat ECC title with Neillsville andOwen-Withee also looking strong Reckner said ForSpencer to be atop the standings again at seasonrsquos end

a lot has to fall into placeldquoWe need to be consistent we need to gel as a teamrdquo

Reckner said ldquoWe need to grow up fast In any year tobe a conference champ yoursquove got to catch some breaksrdquo

Rockets girls team off to solid start more growth expected

The 2015-16 Spencer girls basketball team (front from left) Kallie Reckner Macie WeberSydney Kind Nadia King (back) Sabrina Vircks Sadie Mercier Katie Fleischman Lexi

Baehr Jessica Becker Courtney Buss and Liz Endreas

Just a few games into the 2015-16 season Spencer headgirls basketball coach Brian Abel has seen significantimprovement over last year in the way his team isperforming The Rockets are getting mentioned by othercoaches in the Eastern Cloverbelt Conference as a teamto watch out for as Spencer blends decent height and agood outside game into an improving program

Abelrsquos teams went 6-17 two years ago and 6-16 lastyear but this yearrsquos group is off to a 2-1 start with ECCwins over Colby and Marshfield Columbus Those areteams that swept the Rockets last season so Abel has agood sense that things are improving in his programThe players are familiar now with Abelrsquos coaching styleand terminolog y he said and can focus more on playingbasketball

This yearrsquos starting squad is an interesting mix ofinside-outside skills Senior Nadia King returns at thepoint while sophomore guard Lexi Baehr is in her secondvarsity year with perimeter shooting prowess JuniorCourtney Buss mans another spot while seniors Macie

Weber and Sydney Kindgive the Rockets a stronginside presence

Kallie Reckner andLiz Endreas may also getsome starts and will be inthe main rotation KatieFleischmann and JessicaBecker will also get someminutes while SabrinaVircks and Sadie Mercierwill split varsityjuniorvarsity time at least in theearly part of the season

Abel has to find ways toreplace the contributionsof Abby Varsho MelissaLehman and KaitlynWalter who all graduatedHe still has plenty ofreturning players to turnto though and that hashelped in the early season

ldquoTherersquos a lot lessteaching this year becausewersquove got a lot comingbackrdquo Abel said ldquoYou cansee it with our fast startrdquo

Spencer will continue

to run a motion offenselooking for the openperimeter shot or dumpingthe ball inside to Weber or Kind if they have a favorablematchup on the post If the shooters are on the systemworks well

ldquoIt keeps that inside-outside game working Itrsquos a goodbalance so farrdquo Abel said

Defensively the Rockets prefer to fall into a half-court2-3 zone but will come out to play man-to-man at timesThe Rockets want to prevent easy fast-break points andtry to get back in defensive positions

ldquoWe donrsquot want teams to run on usrdquo Abel said ldquoWersquore

very good at getting up and down the court I feel thisteam is very versatile in what we can dordquo

Depth-wise Abel says he has enough quality playersto substitute as needed

ldquoWe have decent depth Itrsquos not shallow by any meansrdquohe said ldquoWe can go eight or nine deep and be alrightrdquo

The Rockets still have to work on some fundamentalsto compete with top teams

ldquoWersquove got to box out defensivelyrdquo he said ldquoOn offensetherersquos an emphasis on limiting turnovers We hadproblems last year with passing under pressurerdquo

One thing Abel is looking for is steady improvementThe year is off to a good start but he wants to maintainthe development as the season progresses

ldquoItrsquos definitely been an improvement from the yearbeforerdquo he said of the teamrsquos early season ldquoI think thegirls just have another year under the system Itrsquos thatcontinual growthrdquo

One goal for Abel this season is to sweep conference

teams that Spencer split its two games with last yearand at least split with those who beat Spencer twiceThatrsquos already happened with the wins over Colby andColumbus

Abel sees Loyal Neillsville and Owen-Withee asthe usual conference favorites Spencer may not be tothe level of those programs yet he said but continuedimprovement will narrow the gap If attitude meansanything his team will be competitive

ldquoThey put the time in They donrsquot want to loserdquo Abelsaid of his players

Zschernitz had no one to fill his lightweight positionsLast year he had the lightweights but then not theheavyweights Finally this season with the resumptionof a co-op program with Marshfield ColumbusZschernitz has everybody he needs and the Rockets lookto be strong

With three wrestlers returning this season afterqualifying for the state meet a year ago -- plus the additionof Columbus athletes and a few underclassmen -- theRockets look to be headed for a strong 2015-16 campaignThey wonrsquot have to overcome the forfeit points theyallowed in the last two seasons and that has Zschernitzthinking the Rockets can repeat as Cloverbelt Conferencedual meet champions and also take the conferencetournament

Spencer-Columbus will be solid at several weightsReturning are 2015 state qualifiers sophomore BryceShaw at 126 pounds senior Tim Bauer at 138 andsophomore Hunter Luepke at 195 Seniors HunterHildebrandt (170) Austin Post (132) and Nate Neumann

(160) also return to the varsity lineupColumbus freshmen Jake Dick (106) and Zach Wheeler-Savoy (113) will take over the lightweight spots whilesophomore Dominick Wichlacz will be at 120 SophomoreJeremiah Giles is slotted in at 145 and freshman CarsonHildebrandt will be at 152 Senior Jake Hainzlsperger willman the 182-pound class senior Elijah Welsh and juniorMax Johnson will contend at 220 and freshman LoganZschernitz and senior Ryan Schauer are the heavyweightchallengers

Shaw placed sixth at state last year the highest finishever for a Spencer freshman Bauer worked hard overthe summer to get even better than his state-qualifyingform of a year ago and Luepke is back as a defendingconference champion and state qualifier HunterHildebrandt and Neumann are also 2015 conferencetournament champions

ldquoThat whole group is going to be a big part of oursuccessrdquo Zschernitz said

Newcomers expected to help include Carson

Hildebrandt and Logan Zschernitz who both haveconsiderable youth wrestling experience Welsh couldbe an interesting wrestler to watch and is someonewho the coach describes as ldquoa naturalrdquo but hasnrsquot beenable to compete at the varsity level because Columbusdidnrsquot have a program Austin Post will bring his footballathleticism to the mat as well and Johnson -- who did notgo out for wrestling last year -- was a sectional qualifieras a freshman

The addition of the Columbus wrestlers at last givesZschernitz the athletes he needs at the right weights

ldquoIf we didnrsquot have them the lightweights would behard to fill againrdquo the coach said

The addition of Columbus will push the Rocketprogram into Division 2 for the state tournament seriesbut Zschernitz doesnrsquot see that as an issue In fact movingout of D3 means the Rockets can avoid such usual smallschool powerhouses as Stratford and Edgar

Zschernitz expects his team can repeat as Cloverbeltdual meet champs and should be a top contender at theconference meet Last year the Rockets lost to Stanley-Boyd by only a few points partly because it had to forfeitat two weights

Not this year And not only does Zschernitz have a fullteam but he has a group thatrsquos as confident as can be afterthe Spencer-Columbus football team went all the way tothe state championship game Many of the athletes areon both teams

ldquoTop to bottom this is definitely the best team wersquovehadrdquo Zschernitz said ldquoWersquore fairly solid all the waythrough Wersquore hoping with the success of the footballco-op it carries over to wrestling Wrestling and footballgo hand-in-hand in my opinion I think the run in footballhelped just to show them they can get to that level if theywant to workrdquo

Greenwood head boys basketball coach EricJohnsonrsquos entire starting five from last year put ona graduation robe in May and headed off to newadventures Left behind in the Greenwood program area few experienced varsity players a wealth of talentedunderclassmen and a question mark as to how fast thisyearrsquos team can develop

In Johnsonrsquos first year as head coach his senior-dominated squad posted a 7-9 record in the EasternCloverbelt Conference and a 10-13 overall mark Gonefrom the group are graduates Booker Bredlau and LoganJohnson who both received all-conference mention andfellow starters Dane Toburen Delten Schmitz and DylanNorth To say Johnson has a rebuilding job on his handsthis year may be just a bit of an understatement

he does have a pair of seniors back in Decker Lindnerand Sam Revier who saw considerable varsity time in2014-15 Joining them as starters will be juniors TrevorSerocki and Zach Zimbauer and sophomore DevinToburen Junior Walker Wuethrich will usually be thefirst guy off the bench with senior Aaron Lindner

junior Cole Lucas and sophomore Tyler Genteman alsofiguring into the rotationldquoWersquore inexperienced at the varsity levelrdquo Johnson

said ldquoThe kids are going to have to catch up to the gamespeed Irsquove got basketball talent out there Hopefully byChristmas time the kids will be caught up and we canbe competitive in every gamerdquo

Greenwood started the season with a non-conferenceloss to Abbotsford and ECC losses to Colby andNeillsville That result is to be expected at least for awhile as the players learn what it takes to compete atthe varsity pace

ldquoThey understand the offense and defense andwhat I want out of themrdquo Johnson said ldquoThe kidsall understand the offense really well Itrsquos just gettingthem up to game speed and you canrsquot simulate that inpracticerdquo

Serocki is showing solid skills at point guard andRevier and Decker Lindner should give the Indiansrebounding defense and inside scoring Toburen is a

versatile player who should develop as he gets varsityminutes

ldquoHe can score inside and outsiderdquo the coach saidldquoHe can handle the ball and rebound He gives me alittle of everythingrdquo

Greenwood will not be able to rely on a strongperimeter game as the young shooters are still tryingto find their range It could be a streaky season as aplayer or two gets hot then cools down

ldquoI donrsquot have a pure shooterrdquo Johnson said ldquoI haveguys who can stroke it but they can lose the stroke just as fastrdquo

Ball security is another area of concern The Indianshave averaged more turnovers than Johnson wants inthe teamrsquos first games Fouls have also been an issuebut that is partly due to officialsrsquo new emphasis onhand-checking and a switch to longer halves intend ofquarters

Johnson said he expects a balanced scoring attackat least until someone emerges as a consistent source

of pointsldquoNobody is really going to stand outrdquo he said ldquoI have

not found that guy yet I hope either Devin or Trevorwill develop into that guyrdquo

Johnson sees Marshfield Columbus as the best teamin the ECC this year with defending champion SpencerNeillsville Owen-Withee and Loyal all figuring to be inthe top half

ldquoHopefully we can fall in somewhere behind thatrdquohe said

Greenwood head basketball coach Carey Petrirsquosfirst year at the helm of the program was not the mostpleasant one with most of her starting and contributingplayers suspended for half the season and the juniorvarsity players called up to fill in One positive fromthat experience is that several young players got varsitytime -- albeit before they were ready -- and that shouldtranslate to a more mature team this season

Petrirsquos Indians are off to a 1-3 start this season as theytry to put last yearrsquos season in the rear-view mirror Theteam took a major blow before this season even startedwhen star senior Taylor Opelt injured her knee in anopen gym workout She was last yearrsquos leading scorerand would have been the centerpiece of Petrirsquos offensethis season

Petrirsquos main group of players this year includesseniors Ashley Walker Lexi Hinker and Renee Herdrich junior Kassidy Lamovec and sophomores Kelly Nielsenand Kaylee Learman Seniors Kaylee Meyer NatalieHackel and Kristyn Nigon are also getting considerableminutes early in the season

In addition to losing Opelt Petri also has to replacegraduates Morgan Hinker and Madison Lucas Thatleaves a huge scoring void to fill which Petri willattempt to cover by having the Indians play a slow tempostyle in which they wait patiently for good shots

ldquoWersquore trying to focus on playing our offense andplaying to our tempordquo she said ldquoWersquore trying to slowthings downrdquo

Several of the key players on this yearrsquos team wereforced into varsity action a year ago and that is payingdividends now

ldquoWith those freshmen who played it kind of got thenerves out of the way a little bitrdquo Petri said

With everyone more comfortable in their roles thisyearrsquos team is playing better as a group One of theIndiansrsquo strengths should be cohesion

ldquoI think this year our chemistry our working welltogether is a strengthrdquo Petri said ldquoWersquore coming closeras a teamrdquo

Shooting has been an issue early for the Indians The

team needs improvement from the perimeter the coachsaid as it has little height to set up plays to the post

ldquoThe shooting is getting betterrdquo Petri said ldquoWersquoreworking on itrdquo

The defense is also showing improvement withplayers adjusting to their responsibilities in the man-

Greenwood girls looking for improvement as season progresses

to-man schemeldquoItrsquos definitely better than last yearrdquo Petri said

ldquoWersquore getting to the spots faster We understand the

rotationsrdquoThe players are also aware of the need for better ball

handling One reason for slowing the tempo down is toavoid situations where opponents pressure the Indiansinto turnovers

ldquoOther teams are aggressive and we tend to panicrdquo

Petri saidThe goals for this yearrsquos teams are modest with an

emphasis on improvement Petri said she wants her

team to develop its skills and get better each time outand the wins will come

ldquoIn time we can come together and play our offenserdquoshe said ldquoObviously I want to have a better team thanlast year Winning half our games would be our ultimategoal right nowrdquo

Loyal head boys basketball coach Rob Love has been

making it a point in practices to have his players look upat the individual school sports banners on the wall andto have them notice that ldquo1968rdquo is the last number on theboys basketball programrsquos conference championship list

ldquoI keep pointing it out and saying lsquoThat number canrsquotsurviversquordquo Love said ldquoWersquove got to put another numberup thererdquo

The Greyhounds are off to a 1-1 start in their questto become the first conference champs in the sport in48 years They beat Granton on Dec 4 after losing topreseason favorite Marshfield Columbus and Love saidthis yearrsquos team is ldquostrides aheadrdquo of the 2014-15 versionthat ended up with an 8-8 mark and fifth-place finish in theEastern Cloverbelt Love has some starting experienceback in his lineup and several talented underclassmenwho will see significant playing time and the team shouldimprove as the youngsters learn the speed of the varsitygame

Love has to replace graduates Ryley Fischer LoganGenteman and Tyler Prust who all were significant

contributors a year ago Back in his starting lineup are junior guard Riley Geiger and 6rsquo4rdquo swingman CameronBrussow who give the Greyhounds a potent 1-2 scoringpunch both from the perimeter and the lane SeniorDerrick Howard also returns to the front line to battlefor rebounds and points and seniors Ben Zimmermanand Marcus Genteman will share one starting spotdepending on a given nightrsquos opponent Sophomore LukeBogdonovich is the other starting guard

Underclassmen who will play important minutesinclude sophomores Waylon Froeba Elliot Genteman andJordan Radue and freshman Quinn Brussow Theyrsquoll alsoplay with the junior varsity team but Love will need themfor varsity minutes for depth Senior Josh Zupanc out forthe sport for the first time will get some minutes as well

In Geiger and Cameron Brussow Loyal has a pair ofplayers who can easily post 20-point nights Geiger the2015 WIAA Division 5 state tournament 3-point shootingchampion is even more accurate from behind the arcthan last year Love said

ldquoThe pleasant surprise has been Riley Geigerrsquosperimeter gamerdquo Love said of the early seasondevelopments ldquoHersquos as good as Irsquove seen him Riley hasnrsquotmissed a beat I didnrsquot think hersquod get better but he hasrdquo

Brussow can also bury shots from 3-point range butdefenders had best be careful so he doesnrsquot drive pastthem A tall player with ball-handling skills Brussowcan score from anywhere

ldquoHe doesnrsquot have to play post because he can handlethe ballrdquo Love said ldquoCameron is a kid who can create hisown shot and thatrsquos a unique thing He has pretty highaspirations this yearrdquo

Bogdonovich who was ineligible to play last year aftertransferring to Loyal will bring the Greyhounds a much-needed third scoring option

ldquoWhen our two scoring leaders get things going weexpect defenses to adjust to guard Cameron and RileyrdquoLove said ldquoLuke has a great opportunity to expose thoseadjustments Hersquos got a real high basketball IQ Hersquos calmHe doesnrsquot get rattled His fundamental skills are reallyreally strongrdquo

Love does have some concerns about depth With new

WIAA rule changes for two 18-minutes halves insteadof four 8-minute quarters plus more emphasis on hand-checking players could get in foul trouble

ldquoFouls are my biggest concernrdquo the coach said ldquoIf ourtop three or four get in foul trouble we have guys whocan play but not play the same wayrdquo

That situation should ease some as the seasonprogresses and the younger players gain experience

Also Love said ldquoWersquove had to change the way we playdefense because of the way theyrsquore calling foulsrdquo Loyalwill back away from its aggressive full-court pressureand settle back more to conserve fouls

Even though he has a group of players with good skillsLove said he is still preaching the necessity of taking careof the basketball when the team is on offense

ldquoBall security is priority one two and threerdquo he saidldquoWe have to secure the ball more We have to understandthe value of every possessionrdquo

A pair of intangibles the Greyhounds will use as theytry to match up with the conference favorites are a highbasketball IQ and leadership Love said this group knowsthe game and can benefit from that

ldquoSome of the boys think basketball It makes sense tothemrdquo Love said

Geiger and Cameron Brussow will provide theleadership both in scoring and as floor captains

ldquoOur floor leaders were sophomores last year andtheyrsquore more experienced this yearrdquo Love said ldquoWersquorein good shape Wersquore strides ahead of where we werelast yearrdquo

Love sees Columbus and defending champion Spenceras the teams to beat in the ECC this year Neillsville andLoyal should be also be near the top of the pile when thedust settles with a key for the Greyhounds being ableto keep their leaders injury-free and out of foul trouble

ldquoWersquove got to keep some of our kids on the floorrdquoLove said

Greyhound boys look to make their mark in competitive ECC

ldquoShe has all the ability in the worldrdquo Rueth said ldquoWersquollwant her to be an offensive and defensive rebounder anda defensive specialist for us What she could do for us isall the little thingsrdquo

Others who will see varsity time include seniorAmanda Zettler junior Alexis Dietsche and sophomoreBryanna Rayhorn Their development and contributionswill be important because games are longer now with therule change to halves intend of quarters and an increasedemphasis on preventing contact on the court

They have to fill a rolerdquo Rueth said of his reservesldquoBecause of the way things are being called with thenew rules you have to have a bench Theyrsquore just callingeverything so tight nowrdquo

Having an experiencedstarting team at the

beginning of the seasonis a definite advantageRueth said because hedidnrsquot have to start withbasics However it willtake some time for thereserve players to catchup and being patient untilthey do will be important

ldquoWhen you start yourfirst practice yoursquore goingat full speed right fromthe beginningrdquo Ruethsaid ldquoThatrsquos where ourreserves are a little bitbehind Our starting five isquality We just donrsquot havethe bench we had last yearbut I think we can Wersquoregoing to get them thererdquo

Rueth believes thisyearrsquos team again has thetalent to win a conferencechampionship and somegoals are in sight beyondthat Loyal has alreadybeaten perennial ECCpower Neillsville andexpects competition fromOwen-Withee and Spencerdown the road

ldquoTherersquos no doubt wecould repeat as conferencechamps but things have togo our wayrdquo the coach saidldquoTheir (players) goals areto set on being conferencechampions againrdquo

The players also want to

win the conference cross-ver title game this yearLast winter they werebeaten by a Fall Creek

team that advanced to the state tournamentTo get his Greyhounds prepared for the inevitable

tough competition in the WIAA post-season playoffsRueth put together a difficult non-conference schedulethat includes the Assumption tournament a non-conference game against a strong Elk Mound team anda January Saturday road trip to take on Barneveld thedefending D5 state champ that is again ranked 1 Ruethis hoping that schedule will help it improve enough toget past the playoff roadblock it has encountered thepast few seasons

ldquoWersquore hoping that our non-conference schedule isgoing to get us over the humprdquo the coach said

To repeat Spencer needs young players to develop quicklyThe 2014-15 Spencer

boys basketball teamthat won the EasternCloverbelt Conferencetitle with a 14-2 leaguerecord was a mature onewith several players whohad been varsity startersfor two or even threeyears The 2015-16 teamthat will try to repeat asconference champs is notas experienced and maytake some time to developbefore itrsquos ready to play itsbest ball

The start of Spencerrsquosseason has been delayedby the football teamrsquos runto the state title gameThe Rockets postponed

their first two scheduledgames and were to openthe season with a Dec8 non-conference gameagainst Edgar Once theschedule begins coachRandy Recknerrsquos squadwill be faced with thetask of getting somenewcomers up to speedto complement a startingline-up that still includessome varsity veterans

Spencer has 2014-15 ECC player of the year Bobby Pilzback for one more season and he again will be reliedupon for his scoring abilities With starters Miles WeberNate Mercier and Mitchell Susa all gone via graduationPilzrsquo points will be even more critical this year asReckner looks for ways to bolster the teamrsquos offensivepunch Itrsquos not helping any that projected starting guard

Noah Zastrow and post player Dakota Andreae are bothlost for significant time with football-related injurieswhich seriously crimps the Rocketsrsquo depth

Joining Pilz on the starting squad will be Ryan Bussea senior who will be starting for the third-straight year

seniors Calvin Lenz and Jonny Tomke and sophomoreAaron Pankratz Lenz though not a starter in the pastplayed a crucial role on last yearrsquos team and is a versatilescorer who can defend Tomke is athletic and ldquocan helpus in a lot of waysrdquo Reckner said

Those players are proven at the varsity level whilePankratz will get his first taste of it this season Hersquoll be

the teamrsquos starting point guard and his skills as a ballhandler will be tested

ldquoWersquore asking a lot of himrdquo Reckner said ldquoHersquos avery smart kidrdquo

Others who will play in the main rotation will include

sophomores Jack Bezlyk and Jacob Miller Both of them

were important parts of a successful junior varsityteam a year ago and will be called upon to step up thenext level

Bezlyk should add some offenseldquoI think hersquos going to surprise a lot of people with

his scoring abilityrdquo Reckner said ldquoHersquos pretty athleticrdquoMiller is a post player with natural rebounding

instinctsldquoHersquos got the knack of finding the ballrdquo the coach

saidFinding new sources of of fense will be a key for the

Rockets as Susa and Mercier both averaged in doublefigures last year

ldquoWersquove got to replace a lot of scoringrdquo Reckner saidand Pilz is the most likely source

ldquoWersquore going to have to depend on him a lotrdquo Recknersaid with Busse and Lenz also being asked to pick uptheir offensive contributions

Adding to the challenge of repeating as conferencechamps is the relative youth of this team Reckner

has been spoiled in recent years with a plentitude ofexperience but thatrsquos not the case this winter

ldquoI had 2- and 3-year starters last year This year wersquorea little more inexperiencedrdquo Reckner said ldquoTherersquos a lotof teaching going on with the younger guysrdquo

Depth could be a problem for Spencer especially earlyin the season while the sophomores are growing intotheir new roles With Zastrow probably not likely to playuntil late in the season and Andreae out for probably amonth Spencer will have to rely on young players tolearn quickly

ldquoOur depth could be an issuerdquo the coach said ldquoWeprobably would be 9-deep with those two Now wersquoreprobably seven or eight just because of our inexperienceOur conference is going to be really good Hopefully they(younger players) can learn on the flyrdquo

Marshfield Columbus is looking like Spencerrsquos mainchallenge to a repeat ECC title with Neillsville andOwen-Withee also looking strong Reckner said ForSpencer to be atop the standings again at seasonrsquos end

a lot has to fall into placeldquoWe need to be consistent we need to gel as a teamrdquo

Reckner said ldquoWe need to grow up fast In any year tobe a conference champ yoursquove got to catch some breaksrdquo

Rockets girls team off to solid start more growth expected

The 2015-16 Spencer girls basketball team (front from left) Kallie Reckner Macie WeberSydney Kind Nadia King (back) Sabrina Vircks Sadie Mercier Katie Fleischman Lexi

Baehr Jessica Becker Courtney Buss and Liz Endreas

Just a few games into the 2015-16 season Spencer headgirls basketball coach Brian Abel has seen significantimprovement over last year in the way his team isperforming The Rockets are getting mentioned by othercoaches in the Eastern Cloverbelt Conference as a teamto watch out for as Spencer blends decent height and agood outside game into an improving program

Abelrsquos teams went 6-17 two years ago and 6-16 lastyear but this yearrsquos group is off to a 2-1 start with ECCwins over Colby and Marshfield Columbus Those areteams that swept the Rockets last season so Abel has agood sense that things are improving in his programThe players are familiar now with Abelrsquos coaching styleand terminolog y he said and can focus more on playingbasketball

This yearrsquos starting squad is an interesting mix ofinside-outside skills Senior Nadia King returns at thepoint while sophomore guard Lexi Baehr is in her secondvarsity year with perimeter shooting prowess JuniorCourtney Buss mans another spot while seniors Macie

Weber and Sydney Kindgive the Rockets a stronginside presence

Kallie Reckner andLiz Endreas may also getsome starts and will be inthe main rotation KatieFleischmann and JessicaBecker will also get someminutes while SabrinaVircks and Sadie Mercierwill split varsityjuniorvarsity time at least in theearly part of the season

Abel has to find ways toreplace the contributionsof Abby Varsho MelissaLehman and KaitlynWalter who all graduatedHe still has plenty ofreturning players to turnto though and that hashelped in the early season

ldquoTherersquos a lot lessteaching this year becausewersquove got a lot comingbackrdquo Abel said ldquoYou cansee it with our fast startrdquo

Spencer will continue

to run a motion offenselooking for the openperimeter shot or dumpingthe ball inside to Weber or Kind if they have a favorablematchup on the post If the shooters are on the systemworks well

ldquoIt keeps that inside-outside game working Itrsquos a goodbalance so farrdquo Abel said

Defensively the Rockets prefer to fall into a half-court2-3 zone but will come out to play man-to-man at timesThe Rockets want to prevent easy fast-break points andtry to get back in defensive positions

ldquoWe donrsquot want teams to run on usrdquo Abel said ldquoWersquore

very good at getting up and down the court I feel thisteam is very versatile in what we can dordquo

Depth-wise Abel says he has enough quality playersto substitute as needed

ldquoWe have decent depth Itrsquos not shallow by any meansrdquohe said ldquoWe can go eight or nine deep and be alrightrdquo

The Rockets still have to work on some fundamentalsto compete with top teams

ldquoWersquove got to box out defensivelyrdquo he said ldquoOn offensetherersquos an emphasis on limiting turnovers We hadproblems last year with passing under pressurerdquo

One thing Abel is looking for is steady improvementThe year is off to a good start but he wants to maintainthe development as the season progresses

ldquoItrsquos definitely been an improvement from the yearbeforerdquo he said of the teamrsquos early season ldquoI think thegirls just have another year under the system Itrsquos thatcontinual growthrdquo

One goal for Abel this season is to sweep conference

teams that Spencer split its two games with last yearand at least split with those who beat Spencer twiceThatrsquos already happened with the wins over Colby andColumbus

Abel sees Loyal Neillsville and Owen-Withee asthe usual conference favorites Spencer may not be tothe level of those programs yet he said but continuedimprovement will narrow the gap If attitude meansanything his team will be competitive

ldquoThey put the time in They donrsquot want to loserdquo Abelsaid of his players

Spencer-Columbus wrestlers looking for big results this yearTwo seasons ago Spencer head wrestling coach Jake

Zschernitz had no one to fill his lightweight positionsLast year he had the lightweights but then not theheavyweights Finally this season with the resumptionof a co-op program with Marshfield ColumbusZschernitz has everybody he needs and the Rockets lookto be strong

With three wrestlers returning this season afterqualifying for the state meet a year ago -- plus the additionof Columbus athletes and a few underclassmen -- theRockets look to be headed for a strong 2015-16 campaignThey wonrsquot have to overcome the forfeit points theyallowed in the last two seasons and that has Zschernitzthinking the Rockets can repeat as Cloverbelt Conferencedual meet champions and also take the conferencetournament

Spencer-Columbus will be solid at several weightsReturning are 2015 state qualifiers sophomore BryceShaw at 126 pounds senior Tim Bauer at 138 andsophomore Hunter Luepke at 195 Seniors HunterHildebrandt (170) Austin Post (132) and Nate Neumann

(160) also return to the varsity lineupColumbus freshmen Jake Dick (106) and Zach Wheeler-Savoy (113) will take over the lightweight spots whilesophomore Dominick Wichlacz will be at 120 SophomoreJeremiah Giles is slotted in at 145 and freshman CarsonHildebrandt will be at 152 Senior Jake Hainzlsperger willman the 182-pound class senior Elijah Welsh and juniorMax Johnson will contend at 220 and freshman LoganZschernitz and senior Ryan Schauer are the heavyweightchallengers

Shaw placed sixth at state last year the highest finishever for a Spencer freshman Bauer worked hard overthe summer to get even better than his state-qualifyingform of a year ago and Luepke is back as a defendingconference champion and state qualifier HunterHildebrandt and Neumann are also 2015 conferencetournament champions

ldquoThat whole group is going to be a big part of oursuccessrdquo Zschernitz said

Newcomers expected to help include Carson

Hildebrandt and Logan Zschernitz who both haveconsiderable youth wrestling experience Welsh couldbe an interesting wrestler to watch and is someonewho the coach describes as ldquoa naturalrdquo but hasnrsquot beenable to compete at the varsity level because Columbusdidnrsquot have a program Austin Post will bring his footballathleticism to the mat as well and Johnson -- who did notgo out for wrestling last year -- was a sectional qualifieras a freshman

The addition of the Columbus wrestlers at last givesZschernitz the athletes he needs at the right weights

ldquoIf we didnrsquot have them the lightweights would behard to fill againrdquo the coach said

The addition of Columbus will push the Rocketprogram into Division 2 for the state tournament seriesbut Zschernitz doesnrsquot see that as an issue In fact movingout of D3 means the Rockets can avoid such usual smallschool powerhouses as Stratford and Edgar

Zschernitz expects his team can repeat as Cloverbeltdual meet champs and should be a top contender at theconference meet Last year the Rockets lost to Stanley-Boyd by only a few points partly because it had to forfeitat two weights

Not this year And not only does Zschernitz have a fullteam but he has a group thatrsquos as confident as can be afterthe Spencer-Columbus football team went all the way tothe state championship game Many of the athletes areon both teams

ldquoTop to bottom this is definitely the best team wersquovehadrdquo Zschernitz said ldquoWersquore fairly solid all the waythrough Wersquore hoping with the success of the footballco-op it carries over to wrestling Wrestling and footballgo hand-in-hand in my opinion I think the run in footballhelped just to show them they can get to that level if theywant to workrdquo

Greenwood head boys basketball coach EricJohnsonrsquos entire starting five from last year put ona graduation robe in May and headed off to newadventures Left behind in the Greenwood program area few experienced varsity players a wealth of talentedunderclassmen and a question mark as to how fast thisyearrsquos team can develop

In Johnsonrsquos first year as head coach his senior-dominated squad posted a 7-9 record in the EasternCloverbelt Conference and a 10-13 overall mark Gonefrom the group are graduates Booker Bredlau and LoganJohnson who both received all-conference mention andfellow starters Dane Toburen Delten Schmitz and DylanNorth To say Johnson has a rebuilding job on his handsthis year may be just a bit of an understatement

he does have a pair of seniors back in Decker Lindnerand Sam Revier who saw considerable varsity time in2014-15 Joining them as starters will be juniors TrevorSerocki and Zach Zimbauer and sophomore DevinToburen Junior Walker Wuethrich will usually be thefirst guy off the bench with senior Aaron Lindner

junior Cole Lucas and sophomore Tyler Genteman alsofiguring into the rotationldquoWersquore inexperienced at the varsity levelrdquo Johnson

said ldquoThe kids are going to have to catch up to the gamespeed Irsquove got basketball talent out there Hopefully byChristmas time the kids will be caught up and we canbe competitive in every gamerdquo

Greenwood started the season with a non-conferenceloss to Abbotsford and ECC losses to Colby andNeillsville That result is to be expected at least for awhile as the players learn what it takes to compete atthe varsity pace

ldquoThey understand the offense and defense andwhat I want out of themrdquo Johnson said ldquoThe kidsall understand the offense really well Itrsquos just gettingthem up to game speed and you canrsquot simulate that inpracticerdquo

Serocki is showing solid skills at point guard andRevier and Decker Lindner should give the Indiansrebounding defense and inside scoring Toburen is a

versatile player who should develop as he gets varsityminutes

ldquoHe can score inside and outsiderdquo the coach saidldquoHe can handle the ball and rebound He gives me alittle of everythingrdquo

Greenwood will not be able to rely on a strongperimeter game as the young shooters are still tryingto find their range It could be a streaky season as aplayer or two gets hot then cools down

ldquoI donrsquot have a pure shooterrdquo Johnson said ldquoI haveguys who can stroke it but they can lose the stroke just as fastrdquo

Ball security is another area of concern The Indianshave averaged more turnovers than Johnson wants inthe teamrsquos first games Fouls have also been an issuebut that is partly due to officialsrsquo new emphasis onhand-checking and a switch to longer halves intend ofquarters

Johnson said he expects a balanced scoring attackat least until someone emerges as a consistent source

of pointsldquoNobody is really going to stand outrdquo he said ldquoI have

not found that guy yet I hope either Devin or Trevorwill develop into that guyrdquo

Johnson sees Marshfield Columbus as the best teamin the ECC this year with defending champion SpencerNeillsville Owen-Withee and Loyal all figuring to be inthe top half

ldquoHopefully we can fall in somewhere behind thatrdquohe said

Greenwood head basketball coach Carey Petrirsquosfirst year at the helm of the program was not the mostpleasant one with most of her starting and contributingplayers suspended for half the season and the juniorvarsity players called up to fill in One positive fromthat experience is that several young players got varsitytime -- albeit before they were ready -- and that shouldtranslate to a more mature team this season

Petrirsquos Indians are off to a 1-3 start this season as theytry to put last yearrsquos season in the rear-view mirror Theteam took a major blow before this season even startedwhen star senior Taylor Opelt injured her knee in anopen gym workout She was last yearrsquos leading scorerand would have been the centerpiece of Petrirsquos offensethis season

Petrirsquos main group of players this year includesseniors Ashley Walker Lexi Hinker and Renee Herdrich junior Kassidy Lamovec and sophomores Kelly Nielsenand Kaylee Learman Seniors Kaylee Meyer NatalieHackel and Kristyn Nigon are also getting considerableminutes early in the season

In addition to losing Opelt Petri also has to replacegraduates Morgan Hinker and Madison Lucas Thatleaves a huge scoring void to fill which Petri willattempt to cover by having the Indians play a slow tempostyle in which they wait patiently for good shots

ldquoWersquore trying to focus on playing our offense andplaying to our tempordquo she said ldquoWersquore trying to slowthings downrdquo

Several of the key players on this yearrsquos team wereforced into varsity action a year ago and that is payingdividends now

ldquoWith those freshmen who played it kind of got thenerves out of the way a little bitrdquo Petri said

With everyone more comfortable in their roles thisyearrsquos team is playing better as a group One of theIndiansrsquo strengths should be cohesion

ldquoI think this year our chemistry our working welltogether is a strengthrdquo Petri said ldquoWersquore coming closeras a teamrdquo

Shooting has been an issue early for the Indians The

team needs improvement from the perimeter the coachsaid as it has little height to set up plays to the post

ldquoThe shooting is getting betterrdquo Petri said ldquoWersquoreworking on itrdquo

The defense is also showing improvement withplayers adjusting to their responsibilities in the man-

Greenwood girls looking for improvement as season progresses

to-man schemeldquoItrsquos definitely better than last yearrdquo Petri said

ldquoWersquore getting to the spots faster We understand the

rotationsrdquoThe players are also aware of the need for better ball

handling One reason for slowing the tempo down is toavoid situations where opponents pressure the Indiansinto turnovers

ldquoOther teams are aggressive and we tend to panicrdquo

Petri saidThe goals for this yearrsquos teams are modest with an

emphasis on improvement Petri said she wants her

team to develop its skills and get better each time outand the wins will come

ldquoIn time we can come together and play our offenserdquoshe said ldquoObviously I want to have a better team thanlast year Winning half our games would be our ultimategoal right nowrdquo

Loyal head boys basketball coach Rob Love has been

making it a point in practices to have his players look upat the individual school sports banners on the wall andto have them notice that ldquo1968rdquo is the last number on theboys basketball programrsquos conference championship list

ldquoI keep pointing it out and saying lsquoThat number canrsquotsurviversquordquo Love said ldquoWersquove got to put another numberup thererdquo

The Greyhounds are off to a 1-1 start in their questto become the first conference champs in the sport in48 years They beat Granton on Dec 4 after losing topreseason favorite Marshfield Columbus and Love saidthis yearrsquos team is ldquostrides aheadrdquo of the 2014-15 versionthat ended up with an 8-8 mark and fifth-place finish in theEastern Cloverbelt Love has some starting experienceback in his lineup and several talented underclassmenwho will see significant playing time and the team shouldimprove as the youngsters learn the speed of the varsitygame

Love has to replace graduates Ryley Fischer LoganGenteman and Tyler Prust who all were significant

contributors a year ago Back in his starting lineup are junior guard Riley Geiger and 6rsquo4rdquo swingman CameronBrussow who give the Greyhounds a potent 1-2 scoringpunch both from the perimeter and the lane SeniorDerrick Howard also returns to the front line to battlefor rebounds and points and seniors Ben Zimmermanand Marcus Genteman will share one starting spotdepending on a given nightrsquos opponent Sophomore LukeBogdonovich is the other starting guard

Underclassmen who will play important minutesinclude sophomores Waylon Froeba Elliot Genteman andJordan Radue and freshman Quinn Brussow Theyrsquoll alsoplay with the junior varsity team but Love will need themfor varsity minutes for depth Senior Josh Zupanc out forthe sport for the first time will get some minutes as well

In Geiger and Cameron Brussow Loyal has a pair ofplayers who can easily post 20-point nights Geiger the2015 WIAA Division 5 state tournament 3-point shootingchampion is even more accurate from behind the arcthan last year Love said

ldquoThe pleasant surprise has been Riley Geigerrsquosperimeter gamerdquo Love said of the early seasondevelopments ldquoHersquos as good as Irsquove seen him Riley hasnrsquotmissed a beat I didnrsquot think hersquod get better but he hasrdquo

Brussow can also bury shots from 3-point range butdefenders had best be careful so he doesnrsquot drive pastthem A tall player with ball-handling skills Brussowcan score from anywhere

ldquoHe doesnrsquot have to play post because he can handlethe ballrdquo Love said ldquoCameron is a kid who can create hisown shot and thatrsquos a unique thing He has pretty highaspirations this yearrdquo

Bogdonovich who was ineligible to play last year aftertransferring to Loyal will bring the Greyhounds a much-needed third scoring option

ldquoWhen our two scoring leaders get things going weexpect defenses to adjust to guard Cameron and RileyrdquoLove said ldquoLuke has a great opportunity to expose thoseadjustments Hersquos got a real high basketball IQ Hersquos calmHe doesnrsquot get rattled His fundamental skills are reallyreally strongrdquo

Love does have some concerns about depth With new

WIAA rule changes for two 18-minutes halves insteadof four 8-minute quarters plus more emphasis on hand-checking players could get in foul trouble

ldquoFouls are my biggest concernrdquo the coach said ldquoIf ourtop three or four get in foul trouble we have guys whocan play but not play the same wayrdquo

That situation should ease some as the seasonprogresses and the younger players gain experience

Also Love said ldquoWersquove had to change the way we playdefense because of the way theyrsquore calling foulsrdquo Loyalwill back away from its aggressive full-court pressureand settle back more to conserve fouls

Even though he has a group of players with good skillsLove said he is still preaching the necessity of taking careof the basketball when the team is on offense

ldquoBall security is priority one two and threerdquo he saidldquoWe have to secure the ball more We have to understandthe value of every possessionrdquo

A pair of intangibles the Greyhounds will use as theytry to match up with the conference favorites are a highbasketball IQ and leadership Love said this group knowsthe game and can benefit from that

ldquoSome of the boys think basketball It makes sense tothemrdquo Love said

Geiger and Cameron Brussow will provide theleadership both in scoring and as floor captains

ldquoOur floor leaders were sophomores last year andtheyrsquore more experienced this yearrdquo Love said ldquoWersquorein good shape Wersquore strides ahead of where we werelast yearrdquo

Love sees Columbus and defending champion Spenceras the teams to beat in the ECC this year Neillsville andLoyal should be also be near the top of the pile when thedust settles with a key for the Greyhounds being ableto keep their leaders injury-free and out of foul trouble

ldquoWersquove got to keep some of our kids on the floorrdquoLove said

Greyhound boys look to make their mark in competitive ECC

T h e L o y a l g i r l sbasketball team came

It rsquo s very early int h e s e a s o n b u t t h eGreyhounds proved theyare to be taken seriouslythis season by pushingAssumption to the wireagain in a Thanksgivingweekend tournament Alast-second shot that justmissed would have liftedLoyal over the Royals inthat one but the game atleast showed area teamsthat Loyal is a legitimatecontender again thiswinter To take the nextstep Loyal has to developits bench said head coachMike Rueth and playthrough a brutal non-conference schedule thatincludes the early season1 and 2 ranked Division5 teams in the state

Loyal finished 22-4overall last year and wonits first Eastern CloverbeltConference championship

The stellar season endedwith a 56-52 sectional lossto Assumption a gamein which the Greyhoundsovercame a double digit deficit in the second half toalmost steal a win That team included now-departedseniors Missy Benz Jaelynn Young and Katie Hoeserthree players who will all be difficult to replace Havingnew reserves step in will be a key to Loyalrsquos 2015-16season Rueth said

Loyalrsquos starting five is as strong as ever Senior pointguard Devyn Schoonover and junior front-line playersMorgan Reinwand and Karsyn Rueth are all back intheir starting roles with a summer of competitive AAUbasketball behind them

ldquoYou can see the time that those kids put inrdquo coachRueth said

Moving into the starting lineup this year are seniorsJaedyn Pieper and Ryleigh Wilke two players who werea part of the main rotation last year They have plenty

of experience the coach said and have already proventhemselves as capable starters in early games this year

ldquoThey passed the test on the first nightrdquo Rueth saidldquoRight now our starting five really gets itrdquo

Repeat ECC title and more are on Loyal girls teamrsquos list of goals

Amanda Zettler Alexis Dietsche (back) Hailey Rueth Bailey Parker Karsyn Rueth Ryleigh Wilke and BryannaRayhorn

Players who Rueth is counting on to step in withvaluable contributions will include senior post playerBailey Parker who played on the varsity last year andknows the system well and freshman Hailey Rueth ayet-unproven player who will be counted on to play alow-post spot and contribute on defense and rebounding

ldquoShe has all the ability in the worldrdquo Rueth said ldquoWersquollwant her to be an offensive and defensive rebounder anda defensive specialist for us What she could do for us isall the little thingsrdquo

Others who will see varsity time include seniorAmanda Zettler junior Alexis Dietsche and sophomoreBryanna Rayhorn Their development and contributionswill be important because games are longer now with therule change to halves intend of quarters and an increasedemphasis on preventing contact on the court

They have to fill a rolerdquo Rueth said of his reservesldquoBecause of the way things are being called with thenew rules you have to have a bench Theyrsquore just callingeverything so tight nowrdquo

Having an experiencedstarting team at the

beginning of the seasonis a definite advantageRueth said because hedidnrsquot have to start withbasics However it willtake some time for thereserve players to catchup and being patient untilthey do will be important

ldquoWhen you start yourfirst practice yoursquore goingat full speed right fromthe beginningrdquo Ruethsaid ldquoThatrsquos where ourreserves are a little bitbehind Our starting five isquality We just donrsquot havethe bench we had last yearbut I think we can Wersquoregoing to get them thererdquo

Rueth believes thisyearrsquos team again has thetalent to win a conferencechampionship and somegoals are in sight beyondthat Loyal has alreadybeaten perennial ECCpower Neillsville andexpects competition fromOwen-Withee and Spencerdown the road

ldquoTherersquos no doubt wecould repeat as conferencechamps but things have togo our wayrdquo the coach saidldquoTheir (players) goals areto set on being conferencechampions againrdquo

The players also want to

win the conference cross-ver title game this yearLast winter they werebeaten by a Fall Creek

team that advanced to the state tournamentTo get his Greyhounds prepared for the inevitable

tough competition in the WIAA post-season playoffsRueth put together a difficult non-conference schedulethat includes the Assumption tournament a non-conference game against a strong Elk Mound team anda January Saturday road trip to take on Barneveld thedefending D5 state champ that is again ranked 1 Ruethis hoping that schedule will help it improve enough toget past the playoff roadblock it has encountered thepast few seasons

ldquoWersquore hoping that our non-conference schedule isgoing to get us over the humprdquo the coach said

To repeat Spencer needs young players to develop quicklyThe 2014-15 Spencer

boys basketball teamthat won the EasternCloverbelt Conferencetitle with a 14-2 leaguerecord was a mature onewith several players whohad been varsity startersfor two or even threeyears The 2015-16 teamthat will try to repeat asconference champs is notas experienced and maytake some time to developbefore itrsquos ready to play itsbest ball

The start of Spencerrsquosseason has been delayedby the football teamrsquos runto the state title gameThe Rockets postponed

their first two scheduledgames and were to openthe season with a Dec8 non-conference gameagainst Edgar Once theschedule begins coachRandy Recknerrsquos squadwill be faced with thetask of getting somenewcomers up to speedto complement a startingline-up that still includessome varsity veterans

Spencer has 2014-15 ECC player of the year Bobby Pilzback for one more season and he again will be reliedupon for his scoring abilities With starters Miles WeberNate Mercier and Mitchell Susa all gone via graduationPilzrsquo points will be even more critical this year asReckner looks for ways to bolster the teamrsquos offensivepunch Itrsquos not helping any that projected starting guard

Noah Zastrow and post player Dakota Andreae are bothlost for significant time with football-related injurieswhich seriously crimps the Rocketsrsquo depth

Joining Pilz on the starting squad will be Ryan Bussea senior who will be starting for the third-straight year

seniors Calvin Lenz and Jonny Tomke and sophomoreAaron Pankratz Lenz though not a starter in the pastplayed a crucial role on last yearrsquos team and is a versatilescorer who can defend Tomke is athletic and ldquocan helpus in a lot of waysrdquo Reckner said

Those players are proven at the varsity level whilePankratz will get his first taste of it this season Hersquoll be

the teamrsquos starting point guard and his skills as a ballhandler will be tested

ldquoWersquore asking a lot of himrdquo Reckner said ldquoHersquos avery smart kidrdquo

Others who will play in the main rotation will include

sophomores Jack Bezlyk and Jacob Miller Both of them

were important parts of a successful junior varsityteam a year ago and will be called upon to step up thenext level

Bezlyk should add some offenseldquoI think hersquos going to surprise a lot of people with

his scoring abilityrdquo Reckner said ldquoHersquos pretty athleticrdquoMiller is a post player with natural rebounding

instinctsldquoHersquos got the knack of finding the ballrdquo the coach

saidFinding new sources of of fense will be a key for the

Rockets as Susa and Mercier both averaged in doublefigures last year

ldquoWersquove got to replace a lot of scoringrdquo Reckner saidand Pilz is the most likely source

ldquoWersquore going to have to depend on him a lotrdquo Recknersaid with Busse and Lenz also being asked to pick uptheir offensive contributions

Adding to the challenge of repeating as conferencechamps is the relative youth of this team Reckner

has been spoiled in recent years with a plentitude ofexperience but thatrsquos not the case this winter

ldquoI had 2- and 3-year starters last year This year wersquorea little more inexperiencedrdquo Reckner said ldquoTherersquos a lotof teaching going on with the younger guysrdquo

Depth could be a problem for Spencer especially earlyin the season while the sophomores are growing intotheir new roles With Zastrow probably not likely to playuntil late in the season and Andreae out for probably amonth Spencer will have to rely on young players tolearn quickly

ldquoOur depth could be an issuerdquo the coach said ldquoWeprobably would be 9-deep with those two Now wersquoreprobably seven or eight just because of our inexperienceOur conference is going to be really good Hopefully they(younger players) can learn on the flyrdquo

Marshfield Columbus is looking like Spencerrsquos mainchallenge to a repeat ECC title with Neillsville andOwen-Withee also looking strong Reckner said ForSpencer to be atop the standings again at seasonrsquos end

a lot has to fall into placeldquoWe need to be consistent we need to gel as a teamrdquo

Reckner said ldquoWe need to grow up fast In any year tobe a conference champ yoursquove got to catch some breaksrdquo

Rockets girls team off to solid start more growth expected

The 2015-16 Spencer girls basketball team (front from left) Kallie Reckner Macie WeberSydney Kind Nadia King (back) Sabrina Vircks Sadie Mercier Katie Fleischman Lexi

Baehr Jessica Becker Courtney Buss and Liz Endreas

Just a few games into the 2015-16 season Spencer headgirls basketball coach Brian Abel has seen significantimprovement over last year in the way his team isperforming The Rockets are getting mentioned by othercoaches in the Eastern Cloverbelt Conference as a teamto watch out for as Spencer blends decent height and agood outside game into an improving program

Abelrsquos teams went 6-17 two years ago and 6-16 lastyear but this yearrsquos group is off to a 2-1 start with ECCwins over Colby and Marshfield Columbus Those areteams that swept the Rockets last season so Abel has agood sense that things are improving in his programThe players are familiar now with Abelrsquos coaching styleand terminolog y he said and can focus more on playingbasketball

This yearrsquos starting squad is an interesting mix ofinside-outside skills Senior Nadia King returns at thepoint while sophomore guard Lexi Baehr is in her secondvarsity year with perimeter shooting prowess JuniorCourtney Buss mans another spot while seniors Macie

Weber and Sydney Kindgive the Rockets a stronginside presence

Kallie Reckner andLiz Endreas may also getsome starts and will be inthe main rotation KatieFleischmann and JessicaBecker will also get someminutes while SabrinaVircks and Sadie Mercierwill split varsityjuniorvarsity time at least in theearly part of the season

Abel has to find ways toreplace the contributionsof Abby Varsho MelissaLehman and KaitlynWalter who all graduatedHe still has plenty ofreturning players to turnto though and that hashelped in the early season

ldquoTherersquos a lot lessteaching this year becausewersquove got a lot comingbackrdquo Abel said ldquoYou cansee it with our fast startrdquo

Spencer will continue

to run a motion offenselooking for the openperimeter shot or dumpingthe ball inside to Weber or Kind if they have a favorablematchup on the post If the shooters are on the systemworks well

ldquoIt keeps that inside-outside game working Itrsquos a goodbalance so farrdquo Abel said

Defensively the Rockets prefer to fall into a half-court2-3 zone but will come out to play man-to-man at timesThe Rockets want to prevent easy fast-break points andtry to get back in defensive positions

ldquoWe donrsquot want teams to run on usrdquo Abel said ldquoWersquore

very good at getting up and down the court I feel thisteam is very versatile in what we can dordquo

Depth-wise Abel says he has enough quality playersto substitute as needed

ldquoWe have decent depth Itrsquos not shallow by any meansrdquohe said ldquoWe can go eight or nine deep and be alrightrdquo

The Rockets still have to work on some fundamentalsto compete with top teams

ldquoWersquove got to box out defensivelyrdquo he said ldquoOn offensetherersquos an emphasis on limiting turnovers We hadproblems last year with passing under pressurerdquo

One thing Abel is looking for is steady improvementThe year is off to a good start but he wants to maintainthe development as the season progresses

ldquoItrsquos definitely been an improvement from the yearbeforerdquo he said of the teamrsquos early season ldquoI think thegirls just have another year under the system Itrsquos thatcontinual growthrdquo

One goal for Abel this season is to sweep conference

teams that Spencer split its two games with last yearand at least split with those who beat Spencer twiceThatrsquos already happened with the wins over Colby andColumbus

Abel sees Loyal Neillsville and Owen-Withee asthe usual conference favorites Spencer may not be tothe level of those programs yet he said but continuedimprovement will narrow the gap If attitude meansanything his team will be competitive

ldquoThey put the time in They donrsquot want to loserdquo Abelsaid of his players

Spencer-Columbus wrestlers looking for big results this yearTwo seasons ago Spencer head wrestling coach Jake

Zschernitz had no one to fill his lightweight positionsLast year he had the lightweights but then not theheavyweights Finally this season with the resumptionof a co-op program with Marshfield ColumbusZschernitz has everybody he needs and the Rockets lookto be strong

With three wrestlers returning this season afterqualifying for the state meet a year ago -- plus the additionof Columbus athletes and a few underclassmen -- theRockets look to be headed for a strong 2015-16 campaignThey wonrsquot have to overcome the forfeit points theyallowed in the last two seasons and that has Zschernitzthinking the Rockets can repeat as Cloverbelt Conferencedual meet champions and also take the conferencetournament

Spencer-Columbus will be solid at several weightsReturning are 2015 state qualifiers sophomore BryceShaw at 126 pounds senior Tim Bauer at 138 andsophomore Hunter Luepke at 195 Seniors HunterHildebrandt (170) Austin Post (132) and Nate Neumann

(160) also return to the varsity lineupColumbus freshmen Jake Dick (106) and Zach Wheeler-Savoy (113) will take over the lightweight spots whilesophomore Dominick Wichlacz will be at 120 SophomoreJeremiah Giles is slotted in at 145 and freshman CarsonHildebrandt will be at 152 Senior Jake Hainzlsperger willman the 182-pound class senior Elijah Welsh and juniorMax Johnson will contend at 220 and freshman LoganZschernitz and senior Ryan Schauer are the heavyweightchallengers

Shaw placed sixth at state last year the highest finishever for a Spencer freshman Bauer worked hard overthe summer to get even better than his state-qualifyingform of a year ago and Luepke is back as a defendingconference champion and state qualifier HunterHildebrandt and Neumann are also 2015 conferencetournament champions

ldquoThat whole group is going to be a big part of oursuccessrdquo Zschernitz said

Newcomers expected to help include Carson

Hildebrandt and Logan Zschernitz who both haveconsiderable youth wrestling experience Welsh couldbe an interesting wrestler to watch and is someonewho the coach describes as ldquoa naturalrdquo but hasnrsquot beenable to compete at the varsity level because Columbusdidnrsquot have a program Austin Post will bring his footballathleticism to the mat as well and Johnson -- who did notgo out for wrestling last year -- was a sectional qualifieras a freshman

The addition of the Columbus wrestlers at last givesZschernitz the athletes he needs at the right weights

ldquoIf we didnrsquot have them the lightweights would behard to fill againrdquo the coach said

The addition of Columbus will push the Rocketprogram into Division 2 for the state tournament seriesbut Zschernitz doesnrsquot see that as an issue In fact movingout of D3 means the Rockets can avoid such usual smallschool powerhouses as Stratford and Edgar

Zschernitz expects his team can repeat as Cloverbeltdual meet champs and should be a top contender at theconference meet Last year the Rockets lost to Stanley-Boyd by only a few points partly because it had to forfeitat two weights

Not this year And not only does Zschernitz have a fullteam but he has a group thatrsquos as confident as can be afterthe Spencer-Columbus football team went all the way tothe state championship game Many of the athletes areon both teams

ldquoTop to bottom this is definitely the best team wersquovehadrdquo Zschernitz said ldquoWersquore fairly solid all the waythrough Wersquore hoping with the success of the footballco-op it carries over to wrestling Wrestling and footballgo hand-in-hand in my opinion I think the run in footballhelped just to show them they can get to that level if theywant to workrdquo

Greenwood head boys basketball coach EricJohnsonrsquos entire starting five from last year put ona graduation robe in May and headed off to newadventures Left behind in the Greenwood program area few experienced varsity players a wealth of talentedunderclassmen and a question mark as to how fast thisyearrsquos team can develop

In Johnsonrsquos first year as head coach his senior-dominated squad posted a 7-9 record in the EasternCloverbelt Conference and a 10-13 overall mark Gonefrom the group are graduates Booker Bredlau and LoganJohnson who both received all-conference mention andfellow starters Dane Toburen Delten Schmitz and DylanNorth To say Johnson has a rebuilding job on his handsthis year may be just a bit of an understatement

he does have a pair of seniors back in Decker Lindnerand Sam Revier who saw considerable varsity time in2014-15 Joining them as starters will be juniors TrevorSerocki and Zach Zimbauer and sophomore DevinToburen Junior Walker Wuethrich will usually be thefirst guy off the bench with senior Aaron Lindner

junior Cole Lucas and sophomore Tyler Genteman alsofiguring into the rotationldquoWersquore inexperienced at the varsity levelrdquo Johnson

said ldquoThe kids are going to have to catch up to the gamespeed Irsquove got basketball talent out there Hopefully byChristmas time the kids will be caught up and we canbe competitive in every gamerdquo

Greenwood started the season with a non-conferenceloss to Abbotsford and ECC losses to Colby andNeillsville That result is to be expected at least for awhile as the players learn what it takes to compete atthe varsity pace

ldquoThey understand the offense and defense andwhat I want out of themrdquo Johnson said ldquoThe kidsall understand the offense really well Itrsquos just gettingthem up to game speed and you canrsquot simulate that inpracticerdquo

Serocki is showing solid skills at point guard andRevier and Decker Lindner should give the Indiansrebounding defense and inside scoring Toburen is a

versatile player who should develop as he gets varsityminutes

ldquoHe can score inside and outsiderdquo the coach saidldquoHe can handle the ball and rebound He gives me alittle of everythingrdquo

Greenwood will not be able to rely on a strongperimeter game as the young shooters are still tryingto find their range It could be a streaky season as aplayer or two gets hot then cools down

ldquoI donrsquot have a pure shooterrdquo Johnson said ldquoI haveguys who can stroke it but they can lose the stroke just as fastrdquo

Ball security is another area of concern The Indianshave averaged more turnovers than Johnson wants inthe teamrsquos first games Fouls have also been an issuebut that is partly due to officialsrsquo new emphasis onhand-checking and a switch to longer halves intend ofquarters

Johnson said he expects a balanced scoring attackat least until someone emerges as a consistent source

of pointsldquoNobody is really going to stand outrdquo he said ldquoI have

not found that guy yet I hope either Devin or Trevorwill develop into that guyrdquo

Johnson sees Marshfield Columbus as the best teamin the ECC this year with defending champion SpencerNeillsville Owen-Withee and Loyal all figuring to be inthe top half

ldquoHopefully we can fall in somewhere behind thatrdquohe said

Greenwood head basketball coach Carey Petrirsquosfirst year at the helm of the program was not the mostpleasant one with most of her starting and contributingplayers suspended for half the season and the juniorvarsity players called up to fill in One positive fromthat experience is that several young players got varsitytime -- albeit before they were ready -- and that shouldtranslate to a more mature team this season

Petrirsquos Indians are off to a 1-3 start this season as theytry to put last yearrsquos season in the rear-view mirror Theteam took a major blow before this season even startedwhen star senior Taylor Opelt injured her knee in anopen gym workout She was last yearrsquos leading scorerand would have been the centerpiece of Petrirsquos offensethis season

Petrirsquos main group of players this year includesseniors Ashley Walker Lexi Hinker and Renee Herdrich junior Kassidy Lamovec and sophomores Kelly Nielsenand Kaylee Learman Seniors Kaylee Meyer NatalieHackel and Kristyn Nigon are also getting considerableminutes early in the season

In addition to losing Opelt Petri also has to replacegraduates Morgan Hinker and Madison Lucas Thatleaves a huge scoring void to fill which Petri willattempt to cover by having the Indians play a slow tempostyle in which they wait patiently for good shots

ldquoWersquore trying to focus on playing our offense andplaying to our tempordquo she said ldquoWersquore trying to slowthings downrdquo

Several of the key players on this yearrsquos team wereforced into varsity action a year ago and that is payingdividends now

ldquoWith those freshmen who played it kind of got thenerves out of the way a little bitrdquo Petri said

With everyone more comfortable in their roles thisyearrsquos team is playing better as a group One of theIndiansrsquo strengths should be cohesion

ldquoI think this year our chemistry our working welltogether is a strengthrdquo Petri said ldquoWersquore coming closeras a teamrdquo

Shooting has been an issue early for the Indians The

team needs improvement from the perimeter the coachsaid as it has little height to set up plays to the post

ldquoThe shooting is getting betterrdquo Petri said ldquoWersquoreworking on itrdquo

The defense is also showing improvement withplayers adjusting to their responsibilities in the man-

Greenwood girls looking for improvement as season progresses

to-man schemeldquoItrsquos definitely better than last yearrdquo Petri said

ldquoWersquore getting to the spots faster We understand the

rotationsrdquoThe players are also aware of the need for better ball

handling One reason for slowing the tempo down is toavoid situations where opponents pressure the Indiansinto turnovers

ldquoOther teams are aggressive and we tend to panicrdquo

Petri saidThe goals for this yearrsquos teams are modest with an

emphasis on improvement Petri said she wants her

team to develop its skills and get better each time outand the wins will come

ldquoIn time we can come together and play our offenserdquoshe said ldquoObviously I want to have a better team thanlast year Winning half our games would be our ultimategoal right nowrdquo

Loyal head boys basketball coach Rob Love has been

making it a point in practices to have his players look upat the individual school sports banners on the wall andto have them notice that ldquo1968rdquo is the last number on theboys basketball programrsquos conference championship list

ldquoI keep pointing it out and saying lsquoThat number canrsquotsurviversquordquo Love said ldquoWersquove got to put another numberup thererdquo

The Greyhounds are off to a 1-1 start in their questto become the first conference champs in the sport in48 years They beat Granton on Dec 4 after losing topreseason favorite Marshfield Columbus and Love saidthis yearrsquos team is ldquostrides aheadrdquo of the 2014-15 versionthat ended up with an 8-8 mark and fifth-place finish in theEastern Cloverbelt Love has some starting experienceback in his lineup and several talented underclassmenwho will see significant playing time and the team shouldimprove as the youngsters learn the speed of the varsitygame

Love has to replace graduates Ryley Fischer LoganGenteman and Tyler Prust who all were significant

contributors a year ago Back in his starting lineup are junior guard Riley Geiger and 6rsquo4rdquo swingman CameronBrussow who give the Greyhounds a potent 1-2 scoringpunch both from the perimeter and the lane SeniorDerrick Howard also returns to the front line to battlefor rebounds and points and seniors Ben Zimmermanand Marcus Genteman will share one starting spotdepending on a given nightrsquos opponent Sophomore LukeBogdonovich is the other starting guard

Underclassmen who will play important minutesinclude sophomores Waylon Froeba Elliot Genteman andJordan Radue and freshman Quinn Brussow Theyrsquoll alsoplay with the junior varsity team but Love will need themfor varsity minutes for depth Senior Josh Zupanc out forthe sport for the first time will get some minutes as well

In Geiger and Cameron Brussow Loyal has a pair ofplayers who can easily post 20-point nights Geiger the2015 WIAA Division 5 state tournament 3-point shootingchampion is even more accurate from behind the arcthan last year Love said

ldquoThe pleasant surprise has been Riley Geigerrsquosperimeter gamerdquo Love said of the early seasondevelopments ldquoHersquos as good as Irsquove seen him Riley hasnrsquotmissed a beat I didnrsquot think hersquod get better but he hasrdquo

Brussow can also bury shots from 3-point range butdefenders had best be careful so he doesnrsquot drive pastthem A tall player with ball-handling skills Brussowcan score from anywhere

ldquoHe doesnrsquot have to play post because he can handlethe ballrdquo Love said ldquoCameron is a kid who can create hisown shot and thatrsquos a unique thing He has pretty highaspirations this yearrdquo

Bogdonovich who was ineligible to play last year aftertransferring to Loyal will bring the Greyhounds a much-needed third scoring option

ldquoWhen our two scoring leaders get things going weexpect defenses to adjust to guard Cameron and RileyrdquoLove said ldquoLuke has a great opportunity to expose thoseadjustments Hersquos got a real high basketball IQ Hersquos calmHe doesnrsquot get rattled His fundamental skills are reallyreally strongrdquo

Love does have some concerns about depth With new

WIAA rule changes for two 18-minutes halves insteadof four 8-minute quarters plus more emphasis on hand-checking players could get in foul trouble

ldquoFouls are my biggest concernrdquo the coach said ldquoIf ourtop three or four get in foul trouble we have guys whocan play but not play the same wayrdquo

That situation should ease some as the seasonprogresses and the younger players gain experience

Also Love said ldquoWersquove had to change the way we playdefense because of the way theyrsquore calling foulsrdquo Loyalwill back away from its aggressive full-court pressureand settle back more to conserve fouls

Even though he has a group of players with good skillsLove said he is still preaching the necessity of taking careof the basketball when the team is on offense

ldquoBall security is priority one two and threerdquo he saidldquoWe have to secure the ball more We have to understandthe value of every possessionrdquo

A pair of intangibles the Greyhounds will use as theytry to match up with the conference favorites are a highbasketball IQ and leadership Love said this group knowsthe game and can benefit from that

ldquoSome of the boys think basketball It makes sense tothemrdquo Love said

Geiger and Cameron Brussow will provide theleadership both in scoring and as floor captains

ldquoOur floor leaders were sophomores last year andtheyrsquore more experienced this yearrdquo Love said ldquoWersquorein good shape Wersquore strides ahead of where we werelast yearrdquo

Love sees Columbus and defending champion Spenceras the teams to beat in the ECC this year Neillsville andLoyal should be also be near the top of the pile when thedust settles with a key for the Greyhounds being ableto keep their leaders injury-free and out of foul trouble

ldquoWersquove got to keep some of our kids on the floorrdquoLove said

Greyhound boys look to make their mark in competitive ECC

It rsquo s very early int h e s e a s o n b u t t h eGreyhounds proved theyare to be taken seriouslythis season by pushingAssumption to the wireagain in a Thanksgivingweekend tournament Alast-second shot that justmissed would have liftedLoyal over the Royals inthat one but the game atleast showed area teamsthat Loyal is a legitimatecontender again thiswinter To take the nextstep Loyal has to developits bench said head coachMike Rueth and playthrough a brutal non-conference schedule thatincludes the early season1 and 2 ranked Division5 teams in the state

Loyal finished 22-4overall last year and wonits first Eastern CloverbeltConference championship

The stellar season endedwith a 56-52 sectional lossto Assumption a gamein which the Greyhoundsovercame a double digit deficit in the second half toalmost steal a win That team included now-departedseniors Missy Benz Jaelynn Young and Katie Hoeserthree players who will all be difficult to replace Havingnew reserves step in will be a key to Loyalrsquos 2015-16season Rueth said

Loyalrsquos starting five is as strong as ever Senior pointguard Devyn Schoonover and junior front-line playersMorgan Reinwand and Karsyn Rueth are all back intheir starting roles with a summer of competitive AAUbasketball behind them

ldquoYou can see the time that those kids put inrdquo coachRueth said

Moving into the starting lineup this year are seniorsJaedyn Pieper and Ryleigh Wilke two players who werea part of the main rotation last year They have plenty

of experience the coach said and have already proventhemselves as capable starters in early games this year

Players who Rueth is counting on to step in withvaluable contributions will include senior post playerBailey Parker who played on the varsity last year andknows the system well and freshman Hailey Rueth ayet-unproven player who will be counted on to play alow-post spot and contribute on defense and rebounding

ldquoShe has all the ability in the worldrdquo Rueth said ldquoWersquollwant her to be an offensive and defensive rebounder anda defensive specialist for us What she could do for us isall the little thingsrdquo

Others who will see varsity time include seniorAmanda Zettler junior Alexis Dietsche and sophomoreBryanna Rayhorn Their development and contributionswill be important because games are longer now with therule change to halves intend of quarters and an increasedemphasis on preventing contact on the court

They have to fill a rolerdquo Rueth said of his reservesldquoBecause of the way things are being called with thenew rules you have to have a bench Theyrsquore just callingeverything so tight nowrdquo

Having an experiencedstarting team at the

beginning of the seasonis a definite advantageRueth said because hedidnrsquot have to start withbasics However it willtake some time for thereserve players to catchup and being patient untilthey do will be important

ldquoWhen you start yourfirst practice yoursquore goingat full speed right fromthe beginningrdquo Ruethsaid ldquoThatrsquos where ourreserves are a little bitbehind Our starting five isquality We just donrsquot havethe bench we had last yearbut I think we can Wersquoregoing to get them thererdquo

Rueth believes thisyearrsquos team again has thetalent to win a conferencechampionship and somegoals are in sight beyondthat Loyal has alreadybeaten perennial ECCpower Neillsville andexpects competition fromOwen-Withee and Spencerdown the road

ldquoTherersquos no doubt wecould repeat as conferencechamps but things have togo our wayrdquo the coach saidldquoTheir (players) goals areto set on being conferencechampions againrdquo

The players also want to

win the conference cross-ver title game this yearLast winter they werebeaten by a Fall Creek

team that advanced to the state tournamentTo get his Greyhounds prepared for the inevitable

tough competition in the WIAA post-season playoffsRueth put together a difficult non-conference schedulethat includes the Assumption tournament a non-conference game against a strong Elk Mound team anda January Saturday road trip to take on Barneveld thedefending D5 state champ that is again ranked 1 Ruethis hoping that schedule will help it improve enough toget past the playoff roadblock it has encountered thepast few seasons

sophomores Jack Bezlyk and Jacob Miller Both of them

were important parts of a successful junior varsityteam a year ago and will be called upon to step up thenext level

Bezlyk should add some offenseldquoI think hersquos going to surprise a lot of people with

his scoring abilityrdquo Reckner said ldquoHersquos pretty athleticrdquoMiller is a post player with natural rebounding

instinctsldquoHersquos got the knack of finding the ballrdquo the coach

saidFinding new sources of of fense will be a key for the

Rockets as Susa and Mercier both averaged in doublefigures last year

ldquoWersquove got to replace a lot of scoringrdquo Reckner saidand Pilz is the most likely source

ldquoWersquore going to have to depend on him a lotrdquo Recknersaid with Busse and Lenz also being asked to pick uptheir offensive contributions

Adding to the challenge of repeating as conferencechamps is the relative youth of this team Reckner

has been spoiled in recent years with a plentitude ofexperience but thatrsquos not the case this winter

ldquoI had 2- and 3-year starters last year This year wersquorea little more inexperiencedrdquo Reckner said ldquoTherersquos a lotof teaching going on with the younger guysrdquo

Depth could be a problem for Spencer especially earlyin the season while the sophomores are growing intotheir new roles With Zastrow probably not likely to playuntil late in the season and Andreae out for probably amonth Spencer will have to rely on young players tolearn quickly

ldquoOur depth could be an issuerdquo the coach said ldquoWeprobably would be 9-deep with those two Now wersquoreprobably seven or eight just because of our inexperienceOur conference is going to be really good Hopefully they(younger players) can learn on the flyrdquo

Marshfield Columbus is looking like Spencerrsquos mainchallenge to a repeat ECC title with Neillsville andOwen-Withee also looking strong Reckner said ForSpencer to be atop the standings again at seasonrsquos end

a lot has to fall into placeldquoWe need to be consistent we need to gel as a teamrdquo

Reckner said ldquoWe need to grow up fast In any year tobe a conference champ yoursquove got to catch some breaksrdquo

Rockets girls team off to solid start more growth expected

Just a few games into the 2015-16 season Spencer headgirls basketball coach Brian Abel has seen significantimprovement over last year in the way his team isperforming The Rockets are getting mentioned by othercoaches in the Eastern Cloverbelt Conference as a teamto watch out for as Spencer blends decent height and agood outside game into an improving program

Abelrsquos teams went 6-17 two years ago and 6-16 lastyear but this yearrsquos group is off to a 2-1 start with ECCwins over Colby and Marshfield Columbus Those areteams that swept the Rockets last season so Abel has agood sense that things are improving in his programThe players are familiar now with Abelrsquos coaching styleand terminolog y he said and can focus more on playingbasketball

This yearrsquos starting squad is an interesting mix ofinside-outside skills Senior Nadia King returns at thepoint while sophomore guard Lexi Baehr is in her secondvarsity year with perimeter shooting prowess JuniorCourtney Buss mans another spot while seniors Macie

Weber and Sydney Kindgive the Rockets a stronginside presence

Kallie Reckner andLiz Endreas may also getsome starts and will be inthe main rotation KatieFleischmann and JessicaBecker will also get someminutes while SabrinaVircks and Sadie Mercierwill split varsityjuniorvarsity time at least in theearly part of the season

Abel has to find ways toreplace the contributionsof Abby Varsho MelissaLehman and KaitlynWalter who all graduatedHe still has plenty ofreturning players to turnto though and that hashelped in the early season

ldquoTherersquos a lot lessteaching this year becausewersquove got a lot comingbackrdquo Abel said ldquoYou cansee it with our fast startrdquo

Spencer will continue

to run a motion offenselooking for the openperimeter shot or dumpingthe ball inside to Weber or Kind if they have a favorablematchup on the post If the shooters are on the systemworks well

ldquoIt keeps that inside-outside game working Itrsquos a goodbalance so farrdquo Abel said

Defensively the Rockets prefer to fall into a half-court2-3 zone but will come out to play man-to-man at timesThe Rockets want to prevent easy fast-break points andtry to get back in defensive positions

ldquoWe donrsquot want teams to run on usrdquo Abel said ldquoWersquore

very good at getting up and down the court I feel thisteam is very versatile in what we can dordquo

Depth-wise Abel says he has enough quality playersto substitute as needed

ldquoWe have decent depth Itrsquos not shallow by any meansrdquohe said ldquoWe can go eight or nine deep and be alrightrdquo

The Rockets still have to work on some fundamentalsto compete with top teams

ldquoWersquove got to box out defensivelyrdquo he said ldquoOn offensetherersquos an emphasis on limiting turnovers We hadproblems last year with passing under pressurerdquo

One thing Abel is looking for is steady improvementThe year is off to a good start but he wants to maintainthe development as the season progresses

ldquoItrsquos definitely been an improvement from the yearbeforerdquo he said of the teamrsquos early season ldquoI think thegirls just have another year under the system Itrsquos thatcontinual growthrdquo

One goal for Abel this season is to sweep conference

teams that Spencer split its two games with last yearand at least split with those who beat Spencer twiceThatrsquos already happened with the wins over Colby andColumbus

Abel sees Loyal Neillsville and Owen-Withee asthe usual conference favorites Spencer may not be tothe level of those programs yet he said but continuedimprovement will narrow the gap If attitude meansanything his team will be competitive

ldquoThey put the time in They donrsquot want to loserdquo Abelsaid of his players

Spencer-Columbus wrestlers looking for big results this yearTwo seasons ago Spencer head wrestling coach Jake

Zschernitz had no one to fill his lightweight positionsLast year he had the lightweights but then not theheavyweights Finally this season with the resumptionof a co-op program with Marshfield ColumbusZschernitz has everybody he needs and the Rockets lookto be strong

With three wrestlers returning this season afterqualifying for the state meet a year ago -- plus the additionof Columbus athletes and a few underclassmen -- theRockets look to be headed for a strong 2015-16 campaignThey wonrsquot have to overcome the forfeit points theyallowed in the last two seasons and that has Zschernitzthinking the Rockets can repeat as Cloverbelt Conferencedual meet champions and also take the conferencetournament

Spencer-Columbus will be solid at several weightsReturning are 2015 state qualifiers sophomore BryceShaw at 126 pounds senior Tim Bauer at 138 andsophomore Hunter Luepke at 195 Seniors HunterHildebrandt (170) Austin Post (132) and Nate Neumann

(160) also return to the varsity lineupColumbus freshmen Jake Dick (106) and Zach Wheeler-Savoy (113) will take over the lightweight spots whilesophomore Dominick Wichlacz will be at 120 SophomoreJeremiah Giles is slotted in at 145 and freshman CarsonHildebrandt will be at 152 Senior Jake Hainzlsperger willman the 182-pound class senior Elijah Welsh and juniorMax Johnson will contend at 220 and freshman LoganZschernitz and senior Ryan Schauer are the heavyweightchallengers

Shaw placed sixth at state last year the highest finishever for a Spencer freshman Bauer worked hard overthe summer to get even better than his state-qualifyingform of a year ago and Luepke is back as a defendingconference champion and state qualifier HunterHildebrandt and Neumann are also 2015 conferencetournament champions

ldquoThat whole group is going to be a big part of oursuccessrdquo Zschernitz said

Newcomers expected to help include Carson

Hildebrandt and Logan Zschernitz who both haveconsiderable youth wrestling experience Welsh couldbe an interesting wrestler to watch and is someonewho the coach describes as ldquoa naturalrdquo but hasnrsquot beenable to compete at the varsity level because Columbusdidnrsquot have a program Austin Post will bring his footballathleticism to the mat as well and Johnson -- who did notgo out for wrestling last year -- was a sectional qualifieras a freshman

The addition of the Columbus wrestlers at last givesZschernitz the athletes he needs at the right weights

ldquoIf we didnrsquot have them the lightweights would behard to fill againrdquo the coach said

The addition of Columbus will push the Rocketprogram into Division 2 for the state tournament seriesbut Zschernitz doesnrsquot see that as an issue In fact movingout of D3 means the Rockets can avoid such usual smallschool powerhouses as Stratford and Edgar

Zschernitz expects his team can repeat as Cloverbeltdual meet champs and should be a top contender at theconference meet Last year the Rockets lost to Stanley-Boyd by only a few points partly because it had to forfeitat two weights

Not this year And not only does Zschernitz have a fullteam but he has a group thatrsquos as confident as can be afterthe Spencer-Columbus football team went all the way tothe state championship game Many of the athletes areon both teams

ldquoTop to bottom this is definitely the best team wersquovehadrdquo Zschernitz said ldquoWersquore fairly solid all the waythrough Wersquore hoping with the success of the footballco-op it carries over to wrestling Wrestling and footballgo hand-in-hand in my opinion I think the run in footballhelped just to show them they can get to that level if theywant to workrdquo

Greenwood head boys basketball coach EricJohnsonrsquos entire starting five from last year put ona graduation robe in May and headed off to newadventures Left behind in the Greenwood program area few experienced varsity players a wealth of talentedunderclassmen and a question mark as to how fast thisyearrsquos team can develop

In Johnsonrsquos first year as head coach his senior-dominated squad posted a 7-9 record in the EasternCloverbelt Conference and a 10-13 overall mark Gonefrom the group are graduates Booker Bredlau and LoganJohnson who both received all-conference mention andfellow starters Dane Toburen Delten Schmitz and DylanNorth To say Johnson has a rebuilding job on his handsthis year may be just a bit of an understatement

he does have a pair of seniors back in Decker Lindnerand Sam Revier who saw considerable varsity time in2014-15 Joining them as starters will be juniors TrevorSerocki and Zach Zimbauer and sophomore DevinToburen Junior Walker Wuethrich will usually be thefirst guy off the bench with senior Aaron Lindner

junior Cole Lucas and sophomore Tyler Genteman alsofiguring into the rotationldquoWersquore inexperienced at the varsity levelrdquo Johnson

said ldquoThe kids are going to have to catch up to the gamespeed Irsquove got basketball talent out there Hopefully byChristmas time the kids will be caught up and we canbe competitive in every gamerdquo

Greenwood started the season with a non-conferenceloss to Abbotsford and ECC losses to Colby andNeillsville That result is to be expected at least for awhile as the players learn what it takes to compete atthe varsity pace

ldquoThey understand the offense and defense andwhat I want out of themrdquo Johnson said ldquoThe kidsall understand the offense really well Itrsquos just gettingthem up to game speed and you canrsquot simulate that inpracticerdquo

Serocki is showing solid skills at point guard andRevier and Decker Lindner should give the Indiansrebounding defense and inside scoring Toburen is a

versatile player who should develop as he gets varsityminutes

ldquoHe can score inside and outsiderdquo the coach saidldquoHe can handle the ball and rebound He gives me alittle of everythingrdquo

Greenwood will not be able to rely on a strongperimeter game as the young shooters are still tryingto find their range It could be a streaky season as aplayer or two gets hot then cools down

ldquoI donrsquot have a pure shooterrdquo Johnson said ldquoI haveguys who can stroke it but they can lose the stroke just as fastrdquo

Ball security is another area of concern The Indianshave averaged more turnovers than Johnson wants inthe teamrsquos first games Fouls have also been an issuebut that is partly due to officialsrsquo new emphasis onhand-checking and a switch to longer halves intend ofquarters

Johnson said he expects a balanced scoring attackat least until someone emerges as a consistent source

of pointsldquoNobody is really going to stand outrdquo he said ldquoI have

not found that guy yet I hope either Devin or Trevorwill develop into that guyrdquo

Johnson sees Marshfield Columbus as the best teamin the ECC this year with defending champion SpencerNeillsville Owen-Withee and Loyal all figuring to be inthe top half

ldquoHopefully we can fall in somewhere behind thatrdquohe said

Greenwood head basketball coach Carey Petrirsquosfirst year at the helm of the program was not the mostpleasant one with most of her starting and contributingplayers suspended for half the season and the juniorvarsity players called up to fill in One positive fromthat experience is that several young players got varsitytime -- albeit before they were ready -- and that shouldtranslate to a more mature team this season

Petrirsquos Indians are off to a 1-3 start this season as theytry to put last yearrsquos season in the rear-view mirror Theteam took a major blow before this season even startedwhen star senior Taylor Opelt injured her knee in anopen gym workout She was last yearrsquos leading scorerand would have been the centerpiece of Petrirsquos offensethis season

Petrirsquos main group of players this year includesseniors Ashley Walker Lexi Hinker and Renee Herdrich junior Kassidy Lamovec and sophomores Kelly Nielsenand Kaylee Learman Seniors Kaylee Meyer NatalieHackel and Kristyn Nigon are also getting considerableminutes early in the season

In addition to losing Opelt Petri also has to replacegraduates Morgan Hinker and Madison Lucas Thatleaves a huge scoring void to fill which Petri willattempt to cover by having the Indians play a slow tempostyle in which they wait patiently for good shots

ldquoWersquore trying to focus on playing our offense andplaying to our tempordquo she said ldquoWersquore trying to slowthings downrdquo

Several of the key players on this yearrsquos team wereforced into varsity action a year ago and that is payingdividends now

ldquoWith those freshmen who played it kind of got thenerves out of the way a little bitrdquo Petri said

With everyone more comfortable in their roles thisyearrsquos team is playing better as a group One of theIndiansrsquo strengths should be cohesion

ldquoI think this year our chemistry our working welltogether is a strengthrdquo Petri said ldquoWersquore coming closeras a teamrdquo

Shooting has been an issue early for the Indians The

team needs improvement from the perimeter the coachsaid as it has little height to set up plays to the post

ldquoThe shooting is getting betterrdquo Petri said ldquoWersquoreworking on itrdquo

The defense is also showing improvement withplayers adjusting to their responsibilities in the man-

Greenwood girls looking for improvement as season progresses

to-man schemeldquoItrsquos definitely better than last yearrdquo Petri said

ldquoWersquore getting to the spots faster We understand the

rotationsrdquoThe players are also aware of the need for better ball

handling One reason for slowing the tempo down is toavoid situations where opponents pressure the Indiansinto turnovers

ldquoOther teams are aggressive and we tend to panicrdquo

Petri saidThe goals for this yearrsquos teams are modest with an

emphasis on improvement Petri said she wants her

team to develop its skills and get better each time outand the wins will come

ldquoIn time we can come together and play our offenserdquoshe said ldquoObviously I want to have a better team thanlast year Winning half our games would be our ultimategoal right nowrdquo

T h e L o y a l g i r l sbasketball team came

so close last season todefeating annual nemesisW i s c o n s i n R a p i d sAssumption in a WIAADivision 5 sectional semi-final game Will this bethe year the Greyhoundsfinally get over theAssumption hump to takea big step toward the statetournament

It rsquo s very early int h e s e a s o n b u t t h eGreyhounds proved theyare to be taken seriouslythis season by pushingAssumption to the wireagain in a Thanksgivingweekend tournament Alast-second shot that justmissed would have liftedLoyal over the Royals inthat one but the game atleast showed area teamsthat Loyal is a legitimatecontender again thiswinter To take the nextstep Loyal has to developits bench said head coachMike Rueth and playthrough a brutal non-conference schedule thatincludes the early season1 and 2 ranked Division5 teams in the state

Loyal finished 22-4overall last year and wonits first Eastern CloverbeltConference championship

The stellar season endedwith a 56-52 sectional lossto Assumption a gamein which the Greyhoundsovercame a double digit deficit in the second half toalmost steal a win That team included now-departedseniors Missy Benz Jaelynn Young and Katie Hoeserthree players who will all be difficult to replace Havingnew reserves step in will be a key to Loyalrsquos 2015-16season Rueth said

Loyalrsquos starting five is as strong as ever Senior pointguard Devyn Schoonover and junior front-line playersMorgan Reinwand and Karsyn Rueth are all back intheir starting roles with a summer of competitive AAUbasketball behind them

ldquoYou can see the time that those kids put inrdquo coachRueth said

Moving into the starting lineup this year are seniorsJaedyn Pieper and Ryleigh Wilke two players who werea part of the main rotation last year They have plenty

of experience the coach said and have already proventhemselves as capable starters in early games this year

ldquoThey passed the test on the first nightrdquo Rueth saidldquoRight now our starting five really gets itrdquo

Repeat ECC title and more are on Loyal girls teamrsquos list of goals

The 2015-16 Loyal girls basketball team (front from left) Jaedyn Pieper Morgan Reinwand Devyn Schoonover

Amanda Zettler Alexis Dietsche (back) Hailey Rueth Bailey Parker Karsyn Rueth Ryleigh Wilke and BryannaRayhorn

Players who Rueth is counting on to step in withvaluable contributions will include senior post playerBailey Parker who played on the varsity last year andknows the system well and freshman Hailey Rueth ayet-unproven player who will be counted on to play alow-post spot and contribute on defense and rebounding

ldquoShe has all the ability in the worldrdquo Rueth said ldquoWersquollwant her to be an offensive and defensive rebounder anda defensive specialist for us What she could do for us isall the little thingsrdquo

Others who will see varsity time include seniorAmanda Zettler junior Alexis Dietsche and sophomoreBryanna Rayhorn Their development and contributionswill be important because games are longer now with therule change to halves intend of quarters and an increasedemphasis on preventing contact on the court

They have to fill a rolerdquo Rueth said of his reservesldquoBecause of the way things are being called with thenew rules you have to have a bench Theyrsquore just callingeverything so tight nowrdquo

Having an experiencedstarting team at the

beginning of the seasonis a definite advantageRueth said because hedidnrsquot have to start withbasics However it willtake some time for thereserve players to catchup and being patient untilthey do will be important

ldquoWhen you start yourfirst practice yoursquore goingat full speed right fromthe beginningrdquo Ruethsaid ldquoThatrsquos where ourreserves are a little bitbehind Our starting five isquality We just donrsquot havethe bench we had last yearbut I think we can Wersquoregoing to get them thererdquo

Rueth believes thisyearrsquos team again has thetalent to win a conferencechampionship and somegoals are in sight beyondthat Loyal has alreadybeaten perennial ECCpower Neillsville andexpects competition fromOwen-Withee and Spencerdown the road

ldquoTherersquos no doubt wecould repeat as conferencechamps but things have togo our wayrdquo the coach saidldquoTheir (players) goals areto set on being conferencechampions againrdquo

The players also want to

win the conference cross-ver title game this yearLast winter they werebeaten by a Fall Creek

team that advanced to the state tournamentTo get his Greyhounds prepared for the inevitable

tough competition in the WIAA post-season playoffsRueth put together a difficult non-conference schedulethat includes the Assumption tournament a non-conference game against a strong Elk Mound team anda January Saturday road trip to take on Barneveld thedefending D5 state champ that is again ranked 1 Ruethis hoping that schedule will help it improve enough toget past the playoff roadblock it has encountered thepast few seasons

ldquoWersquore hoping that our non-conference schedule isgoing to get us over the humprdquo the coach said

To repeat Spencer needs young players to develop quicklyThe 2014-15 Spencer

boys basketball teamthat won the EasternCloverbelt Conferencetitle with a 14-2 leaguerecord was a mature onewith several players whohad been varsity startersfor two or even threeyears The 2015-16 teamthat will try to repeat asconference champs is notas experienced and maytake some time to developbefore itrsquos ready to play itsbest ball

The start of Spencerrsquosseason has been delayedby the football teamrsquos runto the state title gameThe Rockets postponed

their first two scheduledgames and were to openthe season with a Dec8 non-conference gameagainst Edgar Once theschedule begins coachRandy Recknerrsquos squadwill be faced with thetask of getting somenewcomers up to speedto complement a startingline-up that still includessome varsity veterans

Spencer has 2014-15 ECC player of the year Bobby Pilzback for one more season and he again will be reliedupon for his scoring abilities With starters Miles WeberNate Mercier and Mitchell Susa all gone via graduationPilzrsquo points will be even more critical this year asReckner looks for ways to bolster the teamrsquos offensivepunch Itrsquos not helping any that projected starting guard

Noah Zastrow and post player Dakota Andreae are bothlost for significant time with football-related injurieswhich seriously crimps the Rocketsrsquo depth

Joining Pilz on the starting squad will be Ryan Bussea senior who will be starting for the third-straight year

seniors Calvin Lenz and Jonny Tomke and sophomoreAaron Pankratz Lenz though not a starter in the pastplayed a crucial role on last yearrsquos team and is a versatilescorer who can defend Tomke is athletic and ldquocan helpus in a lot of waysrdquo Reckner said

Those players are proven at the varsity level whilePankratz will get his first taste of it this season Hersquoll be

the teamrsquos starting point guard and his skills as a ballhandler will be tested

ldquoWersquore asking a lot of himrdquo Reckner said ldquoHersquos avery smart kidrdquo

Others who will play in the main rotation will include

sophomores Jack Bezlyk and Jacob Miller Both of them

were important parts of a successful junior varsityteam a year ago and will be called upon to step up thenext level

Bezlyk should add some offenseldquoI think hersquos going to surprise a lot of people with

his scoring abilityrdquo Reckner said ldquoHersquos pretty athleticrdquoMiller is a post player with natural rebounding

instinctsldquoHersquos got the knack of finding the ballrdquo the coach

saidFinding new sources of of fense will be a key for the

Rockets as Susa and Mercier both averaged in doublefigures last year

ldquoWersquove got to replace a lot of scoringrdquo Reckner saidand Pilz is the most likely source

ldquoWersquore going to have to depend on him a lotrdquo Recknersaid with Busse and Lenz also being asked to pick uptheir offensive contributions

Adding to the challenge of repeating as conferencechamps is the relative youth of this team Reckner

has been spoiled in recent years with a plentitude ofexperience but thatrsquos not the case this winter

ldquoI had 2- and 3-year starters last year This year wersquorea little more inexperiencedrdquo Reckner said ldquoTherersquos a lotof teaching going on with the younger guysrdquo

Depth could be a problem for Spencer especially earlyin the season while the sophomores are growing intotheir new roles With Zastrow probably not likely to playuntil late in the season and Andreae out for probably amonth Spencer will have to rely on young players tolearn quickly

ldquoOur depth could be an issuerdquo the coach said ldquoWeprobably would be 9-deep with those two Now wersquoreprobably seven or eight just because of our inexperienceOur conference is going to be really good Hopefully they(younger players) can learn on the flyrdquo

Marshfield Columbus is looking like Spencerrsquos mainchallenge to a repeat ECC title with Neillsville andOwen-Withee also looking strong Reckner said ForSpencer to be atop the standings again at seasonrsquos end

a lot has to fall into placeldquoWe need to be consistent we need to gel as a teamrdquo

Reckner said ldquoWe need to grow up fast In any year tobe a conference champ yoursquove got to catch some breaksrdquo

Rockets girls team off to solid start more growth expected

Baehr Jessica Becker Courtney Buss and Liz Endreas

Just a few games into the 2015-16 season Spencer headgirls basketball coach Brian Abel has seen significantimprovement over last year in the way his team isperforming The Rockets are getting mentioned by othercoaches in the Eastern Cloverbelt Conference as a teamto watch out for as Spencer blends decent height and agood outside game into an improving program

Abelrsquos teams went 6-17 two years ago and 6-16 lastyear but this yearrsquos group is off to a 2-1 start with ECCwins over Colby and Marshfield Columbus Those areteams that swept the Rockets last season so Abel has agood sense that things are improving in his programThe players are familiar now with Abelrsquos coaching styleand terminolog y he said and can focus more on playingbasketball

This yearrsquos starting squad is an interesting mix ofinside-outside skills Senior Nadia King returns at thepoint while sophomore guard Lexi Baehr is in her secondvarsity year with perimeter shooting prowess JuniorCourtney Buss mans another spot while seniors Macie

Weber and Sydney Kindgive the Rockets a stronginside presence

Kallie Reckner andLiz Endreas may also getsome starts and will be inthe main rotation KatieFleischmann and JessicaBecker will also get someminutes while SabrinaVircks and Sadie Mercierwill split varsityjuniorvarsity time at least in theearly part of the season

Abel has to find ways toreplace the contributionsof Abby Varsho MelissaLehman and KaitlynWalter who all graduatedHe still has plenty ofreturning players to turnto though and that hashelped in the early season

ldquoTherersquos a lot lessteaching this year becausewersquove got a lot comingbackrdquo Abel said ldquoYou cansee it with our fast startrdquo

Spencer will continue

to run a motion offenselooking for the openperimeter shot or dumpingthe ball inside to Weber or Kind if they have a favorablematchup on the post If the shooters are on the systemworks well

ldquoIt keeps that inside-outside game working Itrsquos a goodbalance so farrdquo Abel said

Defensively the Rockets prefer to fall into a half-court2-3 zone but will come out to play man-to-man at timesThe Rockets want to prevent easy fast-break points andtry to get back in defensive positions

ldquoWe donrsquot want teams to run on usrdquo Abel said ldquoWersquore

very good at getting up and down the court I feel thisteam is very versatile in what we can dordquo

Depth-wise Abel says he has enough quality playersto substitute as needed

ldquoWe have decent depth Itrsquos not shallow by any meansrdquohe said ldquoWe can go eight or nine deep and be alrightrdquo

The Rockets still have to work on some fundamentalsto compete with top teams

ldquoWersquove got to box out defensivelyrdquo he said ldquoOn offensetherersquos an emphasis on limiting turnovers We hadproblems last year with passing under pressurerdquo

One thing Abel is looking for is steady improvementThe year is off to a good start but he wants to maintainthe development as the season progresses

ldquoItrsquos definitely been an improvement from the yearbeforerdquo he said of the teamrsquos early season ldquoI think thegirls just have another year under the system Itrsquos thatcontinual growthrdquo

One goal for Abel this season is to sweep conference

teams that Spencer split its two games with last yearand at least split with those who beat Spencer twiceThatrsquos already happened with the wins over Colby andColumbus

Abel sees Loyal Neillsville and Owen-Withee asthe usual conference favorites Spencer may not be tothe level of those programs yet he said but continuedimprovement will narrow the gap If attitude meansanything his team will be competitive

ldquoThey put the time in They donrsquot want to loserdquo Abelsaid of his players

Spencer-Columbus wrestlers looking for big results this yearTwo seasons ago Spencer head wrestling coach Jake

Zschernitz had no one to fill his lightweight positionsLast year he had the lightweights but then not theheavyweights Finally this season with the resumptionof a co-op program with Marshfield ColumbusZschernitz has everybody he needs and the Rockets lookto be strong

With three wrestlers returning this season afterqualifying for the state meet a year ago -- plus the additionof Columbus athletes and a few underclassmen -- theRockets look to be headed for a strong 2015-16 campaignThey wonrsquot have to overcome the forfeit points theyallowed in the last two seasons and that has Zschernitzthinking the Rockets can repeat as Cloverbelt Conferencedual meet champions and also take the conferencetournament

Spencer-Columbus will be solid at several weightsReturning are 2015 state qualifiers sophomore BryceShaw at 126 pounds senior Tim Bauer at 138 andsophomore Hunter Luepke at 195 Seniors HunterHildebrandt (170) Austin Post (132) and Nate Neumann

(160) also return to the varsity lineupColumbus freshmen Jake Dick (106) and Zach Wheeler-Savoy (113) will take over the lightweight spots whilesophomore Dominick Wichlacz will be at 120 SophomoreJeremiah Giles is slotted in at 145 and freshman CarsonHildebrandt will be at 152 Senior Jake Hainzlsperger willman the 182-pound class senior Elijah Welsh and juniorMax Johnson will contend at 220 and freshman LoganZschernitz and senior Ryan Schauer are the heavyweightchallengers

Shaw placed sixth at state last year the highest finishever for a Spencer freshman Bauer worked hard overthe summer to get even better than his state-qualifyingform of a year ago and Luepke is back as a defendingconference champion and state qualifier HunterHildebrandt and Neumann are also 2015 conferencetournament champions

ldquoThat whole group is going to be a big part of oursuccessrdquo Zschernitz said

Newcomers expected to help include Carson

Hildebrandt and Logan Zschernitz who both haveconsiderable youth wrestling experience Welsh couldbe an interesting wrestler to watch and is someonewho the coach describes as ldquoa naturalrdquo but hasnrsquot beenable to compete at the varsity level because Columbusdidnrsquot have a program Austin Post will bring his footballathleticism to the mat as well and Johnson -- who did notgo out for wrestling last year -- was a sectional qualifieras a freshman

The addition of the Columbus wrestlers at last givesZschernitz the athletes he needs at the right weights

ldquoIf we didnrsquot have them the lightweights would behard to fill againrdquo the coach said

The addition of Columbus will push the Rocketprogram into Division 2 for the state tournament seriesbut Zschernitz doesnrsquot see that as an issue In fact movingout of D3 means the Rockets can avoid such usual smallschool powerhouses as Stratford and Edgar

Zschernitz expects his team can repeat as Cloverbeltdual meet champs and should be a top contender at theconference meet Last year the Rockets lost to Stanley-Boyd by only a few points partly because it had to forfeitat two weights

Not this year And not only does Zschernitz have a fullteam but he has a group thatrsquos as confident as can be afterthe Spencer-Columbus football team went all the way tothe state championship game Many of the athletes areon both teams

ldquoTop to bottom this is definitely the best team wersquovehadrdquo Zschernitz said ldquoWersquore fairly solid all the waythrough Wersquore hoping with the success of the footballco-op it carries over to wrestling Wrestling and footballgo hand-in-hand in my opinion I think the run in footballhelped just to show them they can get to that level if theywant to workrdquo

Greenwood head boys basketball coach EricJohnsonrsquos entire starting five from last year put ona graduation robe in May and headed off to newadventures Left behind in the Greenwood program area few experienced varsity players a wealth of talentedunderclassmen and a question mark as to how fast thisyearrsquos team can develop

In Johnsonrsquos first year as head coach his senior-dominated squad posted a 7-9 record in the EasternCloverbelt Conference and a 10-13 overall mark Gonefrom the group are graduates Booker Bredlau and LoganJohnson who both received all-conference mention andfellow starters Dane Toburen Delten Schmitz and DylanNorth To say Johnson has a rebuilding job on his handsthis year may be just a bit of an understatement

he does have a pair of seniors back in Decker Lindnerand Sam Revier who saw considerable varsity time in2014-15 Joining them as starters will be juniors TrevorSerocki and Zach Zimbauer and sophomore DevinToburen Junior Walker Wuethrich will usually be thefirst guy off the bench with senior Aaron Lindner

junior Cole Lucas and sophomore Tyler Genteman alsofiguring into the rotationldquoWersquore inexperienced at the varsity levelrdquo Johnson

said ldquoThe kids are going to have to catch up to the gamespeed Irsquove got basketball talent out there Hopefully byChristmas time the kids will be caught up and we canbe competitive in every gamerdquo

Greenwood started the season with a non-conferenceloss to Abbotsford and ECC losses to Colby andNeillsville That result is to be expected at least for awhile as the players learn what it takes to compete atthe varsity pace

ldquoThey understand the offense and defense andwhat I want out of themrdquo Johnson said ldquoThe kidsall understand the offense really well Itrsquos just gettingthem up to game speed and you canrsquot simulate that inpracticerdquo

Serocki is showing solid skills at point guard andRevier and Decker Lindner should give the Indiansrebounding defense and inside scoring Toburen is a

versatile player who should develop as he gets varsityminutes

ldquoHe can score inside and outsiderdquo the coach saidldquoHe can handle the ball and rebound He gives me alittle of everythingrdquo

Greenwood will not be able to rely on a strongperimeter game as the young shooters are still tryingto find their range It could be a streaky season as aplayer or two gets hot then cools down

ldquoI donrsquot have a pure shooterrdquo Johnson said ldquoI haveguys who can stroke it but they can lose the stroke just as fastrdquo

Ball security is another area of concern The Indianshave averaged more turnovers than Johnson wants inthe teamrsquos first games Fouls have also been an issuebut that is partly due to officialsrsquo new emphasis onhand-checking and a switch to longer halves intend ofquarters

Johnson said he expects a balanced scoring attackat least until someone emerges as a consistent source

of pointsldquoNobody is really going to stand outrdquo he said ldquoI have

not found that guy yet I hope either Devin or Trevorwill develop into that guyrdquo

Johnson sees Marshfield Columbus as the best teamin the ECC this year with defending champion SpencerNeillsville Owen-Withee and Loyal all figuring to be inthe top half

ldquoHopefully we can fall in somewhere behind thatrdquohe said

Greenwood head basketball coach Carey Petrirsquosfirst year at the helm of the program was not the mostpleasant one with most of her starting and contributingplayers suspended for half the season and the juniorvarsity players called up to fill in One positive fromthat experience is that several young players got varsitytime -- albeit before they were ready -- and that shouldtranslate to a more mature team this season

Petrirsquos Indians are off to a 1-3 start this season as theytry to put last yearrsquos season in the rear-view mirror Theteam took a major blow before this season even startedwhen star senior Taylor Opelt injured her knee in anopen gym workout She was last yearrsquos leading scorerand would have been the centerpiece of Petrirsquos offensethis season

Petrirsquos main group of players this year includesseniors Ashley Walker Lexi Hinker and Renee Herdrich junior Kassidy Lamovec and sophomores Kelly Nielsenand Kaylee Learman Seniors Kaylee Meyer NatalieHackel and Kristyn Nigon are also getting considerableminutes early in the season

In addition to losing Opelt Petri also has to replacegraduates Morgan Hinker and Madison Lucas Thatleaves a huge scoring void to fill which Petri willattempt to cover by having the Indians play a slow tempostyle in which they wait patiently for good shots

ldquoWersquore trying to focus on playing our offense andplaying to our tempordquo she said ldquoWersquore trying to slowthings downrdquo

Several of the key players on this yearrsquos team wereforced into varsity action a year ago and that is payingdividends now

ldquoWith those freshmen who played it kind of got thenerves out of the way a little bitrdquo Petri said

With everyone more comfortable in their roles thisyearrsquos team is playing better as a group One of theIndiansrsquo strengths should be cohesion

ldquoI think this year our chemistry our working welltogether is a strengthrdquo Petri said ldquoWersquore coming closeras a teamrdquo

Shooting has been an issue early for the Indians The

team needs improvement from the perimeter the coachsaid as it has little height to set up plays to the post

ldquoThe shooting is getting betterrdquo Petri said ldquoWersquoreworking on itrdquo

The defense is also showing improvement withplayers adjusting to their responsibilities in the man-

Greenwood girls looking for improvement as season progresses

to-man schemeldquoItrsquos definitely better than last yearrdquo Petri said

ldquoWersquore getting to the spots faster We understand the

rotationsrdquoThe players are also aware of the need for better ball

handling One reason for slowing the tempo down is toavoid situations where opponents pressure the Indiansinto turnovers

ldquoOther teams are aggressive and we tend to panicrdquo

Petri saidThe goals for this yearrsquos teams are modest with an

emphasis on improvement Petri said she wants her

team to develop its skills and get better each time outand the wins will come

ldquoIn time we can come together and play our offenserdquoshe said ldquoObviously I want to have a better team thanlast year Winning half our games would be our ultimategoal right nowrdquo

Spencer has 2014-15 ECC player of the year Bobby Pilzback for one more season and he again will be reliedupon for his scoring abilities With starters Miles WeberNate Mercier and Mitchell Susa all gone via graduationPilzrsquo points will be even more critical this year asReckner looks for ways to bolster the teamrsquos offensivepunch Itrsquos not helping any that projected starting guard

Noah Zastrow and post player Dakota Andreae are bothlost for significant time with football-related injurieswhich seriously crimps the Rocketsrsquo depth

Joining Pilz on the starting squad will be Ryan Bussea senior who will be starting for the third-straight year

seniors Calvin Lenz and Jonny Tomke and sophomoreAaron Pankratz Lenz though not a starter in the pastplayed a crucial role on last yearrsquos team and is a versatilescorer who can defend Tomke is athletic and ldquocan helpus in a lot of waysrdquo Reckner said

Those players are proven at the varsity level whilePankratz will get his first taste of it this season Hersquoll be

the teamrsquos starting point guard and his skills as a ballhandler will be tested

ldquoWersquore asking a lot of himrdquo Reckner said ldquoHersquos avery smart kidrdquo

Others who will play in the main rotation will include

sophomores Jack Bezlyk and Jacob Miller Both of them

were important parts of a successful junior varsityteam a year ago and will be called upon to step up thenext level

Bezlyk should add some offenseldquoI think hersquos going to surprise a lot of people with

his scoring abilityrdquo Reckner said ldquoHersquos pretty athleticrdquoMiller is a post player with natural rebounding

instinctsldquoHersquos got the knack of finding the ballrdquo the coach

saidFinding new sources of of fense will be a key for the

Rockets as Susa and Mercier both averaged in doublefigures last year

ldquoWersquove got to replace a lot of scoringrdquo Reckner saidand Pilz is the most likely source

ldquoWersquore going to have to depend on him a lotrdquo Recknersaid with Busse and Lenz also being asked to pick uptheir offensive contributions

Adding to the challenge of repeating as conferencechamps is the relative youth of this team Reckner

has been spoiled in recent years with a plentitude ofexperience but thatrsquos not the case this winter

ldquoI had 2- and 3-year starters last year This year wersquorea little more inexperiencedrdquo Reckner said ldquoTherersquos a lotof teaching going on with the younger guysrdquo

Depth could be a problem for Spencer especially earlyin the season while the sophomores are growing intotheir new roles With Zastrow probably not likely to playuntil late in the season and Andreae out for probably amonth Spencer will have to rely on young players tolearn quickly

ldquoOur depth could be an issuerdquo the coach said ldquoWeprobably would be 9-deep with those two Now wersquoreprobably seven or eight just because of our inexperienceOur conference is going to be really good Hopefully they(younger players) can learn on the flyrdquo

Marshfield Columbus is looking like Spencerrsquos mainchallenge to a repeat ECC title with Neillsville andOwen-Withee also looking strong Reckner said ForSpencer to be atop the standings again at seasonrsquos end

a lot has to fall into placeldquoWe need to be consistent we need to gel as a teamrdquo

Reckner said ldquoWe need to grow up fast In any year tobe a conference champ yoursquove got to catch some breaksrdquo

Rockets girls team off to solid start more growth expected

Baehr Jessica Becker Courtney Buss and Liz Endreas

Just a few games into the 2015-16 season Spencer headgirls basketball coach Brian Abel has seen significantimprovement over last year in the way his team isperforming The Rockets are getting mentioned by othercoaches in the Eastern Cloverbelt Conference as a teamto watch out for as Spencer blends decent height and agood outside game into an improving program

Abelrsquos teams went 6-17 two years ago and 6-16 lastyear but this yearrsquos group is off to a 2-1 start with ECCwins over Colby and Marshfield Columbus Those areteams that swept the Rockets last season so Abel has agood sense that things are improving in his programThe players are familiar now with Abelrsquos coaching styleand terminolog y he said and can focus more on playingbasketball

This yearrsquos starting squad is an interesting mix ofinside-outside skills Senior Nadia King returns at thepoint while sophomore guard Lexi Baehr is in her secondvarsity year with perimeter shooting prowess JuniorCourtney Buss mans another spot while seniors Macie

Weber and Sydney Kindgive the Rockets a stronginside presence

Kallie Reckner andLiz Endreas may also getsome starts and will be inthe main rotation KatieFleischmann and JessicaBecker will also get someminutes while SabrinaVircks and Sadie Mercierwill split varsityjuniorvarsity time at least in theearly part of the season

Abel has to find ways toreplace the contributionsof Abby Varsho MelissaLehman and KaitlynWalter who all graduatedHe still has plenty ofreturning players to turnto though and that hashelped in the early season

ldquoTherersquos a lot lessteaching this year becausewersquove got a lot comingbackrdquo Abel said ldquoYou cansee it with our fast startrdquo

Spencer will continue

to run a motion offenselooking for the openperimeter shot or dumpingthe ball inside to Weber or Kind if they have a favorablematchup on the post If the shooters are on the systemworks well

ldquoIt keeps that inside-outside game working Itrsquos a goodbalance so farrdquo Abel said

Defensively the Rockets prefer to fall into a half-court2-3 zone but will come out to play man-to-man at timesThe Rockets want to prevent easy fast-break points andtry to get back in defensive positions

ldquoWe donrsquot want teams to run on usrdquo Abel said ldquoWersquore

very good at getting up and down the court I feel thisteam is very versatile in what we can dordquo

Depth-wise Abel says he has enough quality playersto substitute as needed

ldquoWe have decent depth Itrsquos not shallow by any meansrdquohe said ldquoWe can go eight or nine deep and be alrightrdquo

The Rockets still have to work on some fundamentalsto compete with top teams

Spencer-Columbus wrestlers looking for big results this yearTwo seasons ago Spencer head wrestling coach Jake

Zschernitz had no one to fill his lightweight positionsLast year he had the lightweights but then not theheavyweights Finally this season with the resumptionof a co-op program with Marshfield ColumbusZschernitz has everybody he needs and the Rockets lookto be strong

With three wrestlers returning this season afterqualifying for the state meet a year ago -- plus the additionof Columbus athletes and a few underclassmen -- theRockets look to be headed for a strong 2015-16 campaignThey wonrsquot have to overcome the forfeit points theyallowed in the last two seasons and that has Zschernitzthinking the Rockets can repeat as Cloverbelt Conferencedual meet champions and also take the conferencetournament

Spencer-Columbus will be solid at several weightsReturning are 2015 state qualifiers sophomore BryceShaw at 126 pounds senior Tim Bauer at 138 andsophomore Hunter Luepke at 195 Seniors HunterHildebrandt (170) Austin Post (132) and Nate Neumann

(160) also return to the varsity lineupColumbus freshmen Jake Dick (106) and Zach Wheeler-Savoy (113) will take over the lightweight spots whilesophomore Dominick Wichlacz will be at 120 SophomoreJeremiah Giles is slotted in at 145 and freshman CarsonHildebrandt will be at 152 Senior Jake Hainzlsperger willman the 182-pound class senior Elijah Welsh and juniorMax Johnson will contend at 220 and freshman LoganZschernitz and senior Ryan Schauer are the heavyweightchallengers

Shaw placed sixth at state last year the highest finishever for a Spencer freshman Bauer worked hard overthe summer to get even better than his state-qualifyingform of a year ago and Luepke is back as a defendingconference champion and state qualifier HunterHildebrandt and Neumann are also 2015 conferencetournament champions

ldquoThat whole group is going to be a big part of oursuccessrdquo Zschernitz said

Newcomers expected to help include Carson

Hildebrandt and Logan Zschernitz who both haveconsiderable youth wrestling experience Welsh couldbe an interesting wrestler to watch and is someonewho the coach describes as ldquoa naturalrdquo but hasnrsquot beenable to compete at the varsity level because Columbusdidnrsquot have a program Austin Post will bring his footballathleticism to the mat as well and Johnson -- who did notgo out for wrestling last year -- was a sectional qualifieras a freshman

The addition of the Columbus wrestlers at last givesZschernitz the athletes he needs at the right weights

ldquoIf we didnrsquot have them the lightweights would behard to fill againrdquo the coach said

The addition of Columbus will push the Rocketprogram into Division 2 for the state tournament seriesbut Zschernitz doesnrsquot see that as an issue In fact movingout of D3 means the Rockets can avoid such usual smallschool powerhouses as Stratford and Edgar

Zschernitz expects his team can repeat as Cloverbeltdual meet champs and should be a top contender at theconference meet Last year the Rockets lost to Stanley-Boyd by only a few points partly because it had to forfeitat two weights

Not this year And not only does Zschernitz have a fullteam but he has a group thatrsquos as confident as can be afterthe Spencer-Columbus football team went all the way tothe state championship game Many of the athletes areon both teams

ldquoTop to bottom this is definitely the best team wersquovehadrdquo Zschernitz said ldquoWersquore fairly solid all the waythrough Wersquore hoping with the success of the footballco-op it carries over to wrestling Wrestling and footballgo hand-in-hand in my opinion I think the run in footballhelped just to show them they can get to that level if theywant to workrdquo

Greenwood head boys basketball coach EricJohnsonrsquos entire starting five from last year put ona graduation robe in May and headed off to newadventures Left behind in the Greenwood program area few experienced varsity players a wealth of talentedunderclassmen and a question mark as to how fast thisyearrsquos team can develop

In Johnsonrsquos first year as head coach his senior-dominated squad posted a 7-9 record in the EasternCloverbelt Conference and a 10-13 overall mark Gonefrom the group are graduates Booker Bredlau and LoganJohnson who both received all-conference mention andfellow starters Dane Toburen Delten Schmitz and DylanNorth To say Johnson has a rebuilding job on his handsthis year may be just a bit of an understatement

he does have a pair of seniors back in Decker Lindnerand Sam Revier who saw considerable varsity time in2014-15 Joining them as starters will be juniors TrevorSerocki and Zach Zimbauer and sophomore DevinToburen Junior Walker Wuethrich will usually be thefirst guy off the bench with senior Aaron Lindner

junior Cole Lucas and sophomore Tyler Genteman alsofiguring into the rotationldquoWersquore inexperienced at the varsity levelrdquo Johnson

said ldquoThe kids are going to have to catch up to the gamespeed Irsquove got basketball talent out there Hopefully byChristmas time the kids will be caught up and we canbe competitive in every gamerdquo

Greenwood started the season with a non-conferenceloss to Abbotsford and ECC losses to Colby andNeillsville That result is to be expected at least for awhile as the players learn what it takes to compete atthe varsity pace

ldquoThey understand the offense and defense andwhat I want out of themrdquo Johnson said ldquoThe kidsall understand the offense really well Itrsquos just gettingthem up to game speed and you canrsquot simulate that inpracticerdquo

Serocki is showing solid skills at point guard andRevier and Decker Lindner should give the Indiansrebounding defense and inside scoring Toburen is a

versatile player who should develop as he gets varsityminutes

ldquoHe can score inside and outsiderdquo the coach saidldquoHe can handle the ball and rebound He gives me alittle of everythingrdquo

Greenwood will not be able to rely on a strongperimeter game as the young shooters are still tryingto find their range It could be a streaky season as aplayer or two gets hot then cools down

ldquoI donrsquot have a pure shooterrdquo Johnson said ldquoI haveguys who can stroke it but they can lose the stroke just as fastrdquo

Ball security is another area of concern The Indianshave averaged more turnovers than Johnson wants inthe teamrsquos first games Fouls have also been an issuebut that is partly due to officialsrsquo new emphasis onhand-checking and a switch to longer halves intend ofquarters

Johnson said he expects a balanced scoring attackat least until someone emerges as a consistent source

of pointsldquoNobody is really going to stand outrdquo he said ldquoI have

not found that guy yet I hope either Devin or Trevorwill develop into that guyrdquo

Johnson sees Marshfield Columbus as the best teamin the ECC this year with defending champion SpencerNeillsville Owen-Withee and Loyal all figuring to be inthe top half

ldquoHopefully we can fall in somewhere behind thatrdquohe said

Greenwood head basketball coach Carey Petrirsquosfirst year at the helm of the program was not the mostpleasant one with most of her starting and contributingplayers suspended for half the season and the juniorvarsity players called up to fill in One positive fromthat experience is that several young players got varsitytime -- albeit before they were ready -- and that shouldtranslate to a more mature team this season

Petrirsquos Indians are off to a 1-3 start this season as theytry to put last yearrsquos season in the rear-view mirror Theteam took a major blow before this season even startedwhen star senior Taylor Opelt injured her knee in anopen gym workout She was last yearrsquos leading scorerand would have been the centerpiece of Petrirsquos offensethis season

Petrirsquos main group of players this year includesseniors Ashley Walker Lexi Hinker and Renee Herdrich junior Kassidy Lamovec and sophomores Kelly Nielsenand Kaylee Learman Seniors Kaylee Meyer NatalieHackel and Kristyn Nigon are also getting considerableminutes early in the season

In addition to losing Opelt Petri also has to replacegraduates Morgan Hinker and Madison Lucas Thatleaves a huge scoring void to fill which Petri willattempt to cover by having the Indians play a slow tempostyle in which they wait patiently for good shots

ldquoWersquore trying to focus on playing our offense andplaying to our tempordquo she said ldquoWersquore trying to slowthings downrdquo

Several of the key players on this yearrsquos team wereforced into varsity action a year ago and that is payingdividends now

ldquoWith those freshmen who played it kind of got thenerves out of the way a little bitrdquo Petri said

With everyone more comfortable in their roles thisyearrsquos team is playing better as a group One of theIndiansrsquo strengths should be cohesion

ldquoI think this year our chemistry our working welltogether is a strengthrdquo Petri said ldquoWersquore coming closeras a teamrdquo

Shooting has been an issue early for the Indians The

team needs improvement from the perimeter the coachsaid as it has little height to set up plays to the post

ldquoThe shooting is getting betterrdquo Petri said ldquoWersquoreworking on itrdquo

The defense is also showing improvement withplayers adjusting to their responsibilities in the man-

Greenwood girls looking for improvement as season progresses

to-man schemeldquoItrsquos definitely better than last yearrdquo Petri said

ldquoWersquore getting to the spots faster We understand the

rotationsrdquoThe players are also aware of the need for better ball

handling One reason for slowing the tempo down is toavoid situations where opponents pressure the Indiansinto turnovers

ldquoOther teams are aggressive and we tend to panicrdquo

Petri saidThe goals for this yearrsquos teams are modest with an

emphasis on improvement Petri said she wants her

team to develop its skills and get better each time outand the wins will come

ldquoIn time we can come together and play our offenserdquoshe said ldquoObviously I want to have a better team thanlast year Winning half our games would be our ultimategoal right nowrdquo

Shaw placed sixth at state last year the highest finishever for a Spencer freshman Bauer worked hard overthe summer to get even better than his state-qualifyingform of a year ago and Luepke is back as a defendingconference champion and state qualifier HunterHildebrandt and Neumann are also 2015 conferencetournament champions

ldquoThat whole group is going to be a big part of oursuccessrdquo Zschernitz said

Newcomers expected to help include Carson

Hildebrandt and Logan Zschernitz who both haveconsiderable youth wrestling experience Welsh couldbe an interesting wrestler to watch and is someonewho the coach describes as ldquoa naturalrdquo but hasnrsquot beenable to compete at the varsity level because Columbusdidnrsquot have a program Austin Post will bring his footballathleticism to the mat as well and Johnson -- who did notgo out for wrestling last year -- was a sectional qualifieras a freshman

The addition of the Columbus wrestlers at last givesZschernitz the athletes he needs at the right weights

ldquoIf we didnrsquot have them the lightweights would behard to fill againrdquo the coach said

The addition of Columbus will push the Rocketprogram into Division 2 for the state tournament seriesbut Zschernitz doesnrsquot see that as an issue In fact movingout of D3 means the Rockets can avoid such usual smallschool powerhouses as Stratford and Edgar

Zschernitz expects his team can repeat as Cloverbeltdual meet champs and should be a top contender at theconference meet Last year the Rockets lost to Stanley-Boyd by only a few points partly because it had to forfeitat two weights

Not this year And not only does Zschernitz have a fullteam but he has a group thatrsquos as confident as can be afterthe Spencer-Columbus football team went all the way tothe state championship game Many of the athletes areon both teams

ldquoTop to bottom this is definitely the best team wersquovehadrdquo Zschernitz said ldquoWersquore fairly solid all the waythrough Wersquore hoping with the success of the footballco-op it carries over to wrestling Wrestling and footballgo hand-in-hand in my opinion I think the run in footballhelped just to show them they can get to that level if theywant to workrdquo

Greenwood head boys basketball coach EricJohnsonrsquos entire starting five from last year put ona graduation robe in May and headed off to newadventures Left behind in the Greenwood program area few experienced varsity players a wealth of talentedunderclassmen and a question mark as to how fast thisyearrsquos team can develop

In Johnsonrsquos first year as head coach his senior-dominated squad posted a 7-9 record in the EasternCloverbelt Conference and a 10-13 overall mark Gonefrom the group are graduates Booker Bredlau and LoganJohnson who both received all-conference mention andfellow starters Dane Toburen Delten Schmitz and DylanNorth To say Johnson has a rebuilding job on his handsthis year may be just a bit of an understatement

he does have a pair of seniors back in Decker Lindnerand Sam Revier who saw considerable varsity time in2014-15 Joining them as starters will be juniors TrevorSerocki and Zach Zimbauer and sophomore DevinToburen Junior Walker Wuethrich will usually be thefirst guy off the bench with senior Aaron Lindner

junior Cole Lucas and sophomore Tyler Genteman alsofiguring into the rotationldquoWersquore inexperienced at the varsity levelrdquo Johnson

said ldquoThe kids are going to have to catch up to the gamespeed Irsquove got basketball talent out there Hopefully byChristmas time the kids will be caught up and we canbe competitive in every gamerdquo

Greenwood started the season with a non-conferenceloss to Abbotsford and ECC losses to Colby andNeillsville That result is to be expected at least for awhile as the players learn what it takes to compete atthe varsity pace

ldquoThey understand the offense and defense andwhat I want out of themrdquo Johnson said ldquoThe kidsall understand the offense really well Itrsquos just gettingthem up to game speed and you canrsquot simulate that inpracticerdquo

Serocki is showing solid skills at point guard andRevier and Decker Lindner should give the Indiansrebounding defense and inside scoring Toburen is a

versatile player who should develop as he gets varsityminutes

ldquoHe can score inside and outsiderdquo the coach saidldquoHe can handle the ball and rebound He gives me alittle of everythingrdquo

Greenwood will not be able to rely on a strongperimeter game as the young shooters are still tryingto find their range It could be a streaky season as aplayer or two gets hot then cools down

ldquoI donrsquot have a pure shooterrdquo Johnson said ldquoI haveguys who can stroke it but they can lose the stroke just as fastrdquo

Ball security is another area of concern The Indianshave averaged more turnovers than Johnson wants inthe teamrsquos first games Fouls have also been an issuebut that is partly due to officialsrsquo new emphasis onhand-checking and a switch to longer halves intend ofquarters

Johnson said he expects a balanced scoring attackat least until someone emerges as a consistent source

of pointsldquoNobody is really going to stand outrdquo he said ldquoI have

not found that guy yet I hope either Devin or Trevorwill develop into that guyrdquo

Johnson sees Marshfield Columbus as the best teamin the ECC this year with defending champion SpencerNeillsville Owen-Withee and Loyal all figuring to be inthe top half

ldquoHopefully we can fall in somewhere behind thatrdquohe said

Greenwood head basketball coach Carey Petrirsquosfirst year at the helm of the program was not the mostpleasant one with most of her starting and contributingplayers suspended for half the season and the juniorvarsity players called up to fill in One positive fromthat experience is that several young players got varsitytime -- albeit before they were ready -- and that shouldtranslate to a more mature team this season

Petrirsquos Indians are off to a 1-3 start this season as theytry to put last yearrsquos season in the rear-view mirror Theteam took a major blow before this season even startedwhen star senior Taylor Opelt injured her knee in anopen gym workout She was last yearrsquos leading scorerand would have been the centerpiece of Petrirsquos offensethis season

Petrirsquos main group of players this year includesseniors Ashley Walker Lexi Hinker and Renee Herdrich junior Kassidy Lamovec and sophomores Kelly Nielsenand Kaylee Learman Seniors Kaylee Meyer NatalieHackel and Kristyn Nigon are also getting considerableminutes early in the season

In addition to losing Opelt Petri also has to replacegraduates Morgan Hinker and Madison Lucas Thatleaves a huge scoring void to fill which Petri willattempt to cover by having the Indians play a slow tempostyle in which they wait patiently for good shots

ldquoWersquore trying to focus on playing our offense andplaying to our tempordquo she said ldquoWersquore trying to slowthings downrdquo

Several of the key players on this yearrsquos team wereforced into varsity action a year ago and that is payingdividends now

ldquoWith those freshmen who played it kind of got thenerves out of the way a little bitrdquo Petri said

With everyone more comfortable in their roles thisyearrsquos team is playing better as a group One of theIndiansrsquo strengths should be cohesion

ldquoI think this year our chemistry our working welltogether is a strengthrdquo Petri said ldquoWersquore coming closeras a teamrdquo

Shooting has been an issue early for the Indians The

team needs improvement from the perimeter the coachsaid as it has little height to set up plays to the post

ldquoThe shooting is getting betterrdquo Petri said ldquoWersquoreworking on itrdquo

The defense is also showing improvement withplayers adjusting to their responsibilities in the man-

Greenwood girls looking for improvement as season progresses

to-man schemeldquoItrsquos definitely better than last yearrdquo Petri said

ldquoWersquore getting to the spots faster We understand the

rotationsrdquoThe players are also aware of the need for better ball

handling One reason for slowing the tempo down is toavoid situations where opponents pressure the Indiansinto turnovers

ldquoOther teams are aggressive and we tend to panicrdquo

Petri saidThe goals for this yearrsquos teams are modest with an

emphasis on improvement Petri said she wants her

team to develop its skills and get better each time outand the wins will come

ldquoIn time we can come together and play our offenserdquoshe said ldquoObviously I want to have a better team thanlast year Winning half our games would be our ultimategoal right nowrdquo
