The Gilman girls basketball team’s 60-43 loss at Columbus Catholic certainly won’t be one the Pirates will want to spend their 15-day holiday break from competition thinking about. But, as head coach Tammy Weir said after the loss, the one positive they can take from it is they should only go up from there when play resumes Jan. 3 at home against Owen-Withee. Without question their most

Braeden Person and Ethan Person wrestled their way to top-five finishes to lead the five-member Cornell-Gilman wrestling team Saturday at the Auburndale Invitational. Braeden, a freshman, went 2-1 and placed second in the seven-man bracket at 132 pounds. He opened with a 15-3 major decision over Royall’s Ethan Palamaruk in the quarterfi nals and then earned his spot in the championship bout

AJ Adleman needed to make just 11 saves to record his fourth career shutout and second of the season Saturday and the Medford Raiders equaled their win total from a year ago just seven games into this season with a 4-0 win over the Regis-Altoona-McDonell Co-op in Marshfi eld.

Well that sure changed my perspective about the Green Bay Packers’ playoff chances. How about you? Until Monday night, I’ll have to admit I was one of those skeptics who felt the Packers were a good team.

Friday, Dec. 6 High 22, Low 8 I have never hunted deer in this neck of the woods and would

What the Medford Raiders and Antigo Red Robins lacked in depth, they made up for in drama as Tuesday’s Great Northern Conference swim meet went down to the last event –– and still wound up with no winner. Trailing the entire meet, the six-man crew from Antigo won the last four events and, with a win in the 400-meter freestyle relay, forged a 73-73 tie with the Raiders, who were short-handed

After a close first four minutes, the Spencer Rockets hit the accelerator and didn’t stop Tuesday, handing the Gilman boys basketball team a 77-38 defeat to stay tied for the early lead in the Eastern Cloverbelt Conference. The Pirates seemingly couldn’t lift the lid off the basket after battling to an 11-9 score in those first four minutes. Over the next eight minutes, Spencer got rolling
