If the bridge is not replaced and the old bridge is left to

stand until it falls down, the county is solely responsible for

the cost of removal, said Bruce Stelzner, Chippewa County

highway commissioner, at the Cobban Bridge public discus-

sion Jan. 5 in Cornell. It is not funded.

Regardless of its

beauty, usage or histor-

ical significance, the

Cobban Bridge is de-

clining and something

needs to be done, ac-

cording to studies com-

pleted by Chippewa

County agencies.

Assembled from dis-

cussions in September

2014, the county is

again looking for pub-

lic input on the bridge,

and if it is important

enough to be replaced

and by what alterna-

tive.

The bridge as it

stands today is really

deteriorated and a lia-

bility of the county,

said Fred Anderson,

Chippewa County proj-

ect manager. The

structure doesnt have

the capacity to rehabil-

itate it.

Anderson spoke to over 80 community members and ex-

plained that the bridge, built in 1908 and rehabilitated in

1995, was over 10 years past its time. He says it is in poor

structural condition because of pack rust (corrosion damage

to joints, metallic plates and other components).

After determining rehabilitation wasnt an option, Ander-

son and Bruce Gerland, project manager of AECOM, the en-

gineering company working on the project, along with their

colleagues, developed four alternatives after performing a

study of the bridge and area.

Alternative 1 connects 180th Avenue to County Road TT,

extending the bridge over the Old Abe Trail and carries an

$11.2 million price tag. Because a bridge over the trail would

raise the intersection, the agency also made a modified ver-

sion of this, Alternative 1b, which would cost less and mini-

mize area impact.

Alternative 3 would be at the existing bridge location and

costs the least at $4.7 million. Gerland said although this al-

ternative is better for schools and emergency vehicles (con-

cluded from public comments), it would cause some wetland

and stream impacts.

Alternative 5 extends County Road R with the intersection

of 200th Avenue and County Road K. Gerland said this

would be a longer, higher and wider structure, costing the

county $7.4 million.

The study analyzed issues and impact to homes, businesses

and natural resources, concluding that Alternative 1b, modi-

fied with DNR recommendations, was the preferred alter-

native.

This would connect 180th Avenue to County Road TT, and

would not affect the Old Abe Trail. The cost for this plan is

Exciting changesat Gordys Market

By Kayla Peche

The expression new year, new you isnt just for people

anymore, because Gordys Market, including the Cornell

store, is making some changes for the New Year.

Its very exciting, said Lance Modl, Gordys manager in

Cornell.

Gordys and Mega Co-op reached an agreement early Jan-

uary that will bring the two businesses together Mega gro-

cery stores will become Gordys Markets, and Gordys

Express convenience stores and fuel centers will become

Mega Holidays. When this transaction is complete (late-Feb-

ruary), Gordys will own and operate 24 grocery stores and

Mega Co-op will own and operate 33 gas stations.

Over a few discussions we decided the partnership on the

gas and grocery just seemed natural, said Jeff Shafer, pres-

ident of Gordys.

As far as the Cornell gas station, Shafer said Gordys will

still operate the liquor and beer department, but Mega will

own the gas portion, with Gordys running it.

Modl said hes unsure if Gordys Express will change into

a Mega Holiday as far as appearance goes, and its still un-

clear if there will be any effect on the current Holiday station

across the street. Schafer says appearance and construction

will be decided later.

Both companies will be bigger and stronger as a result of

this agreement, said Mike Buck, president of Mega Co-op.

This helps ensure a positive future for both our businesses

and will allow us to focus on reinvestment, grow in a highly

competitive environment and re-

turn patronage to our cooperative

members.

While each company remains

separate, they plan to collaborate

on new future locations and sup-

port each other with joint loyalty

programs, including the Pump

Perks and Gas Rewards program.

Customers may redeem rewards at

either a Gordys or Mega location.

Gordys is also changing their

primary wholesaler by mid-Febru-

ary to SpartanNash, which Shafer

says replaces Everyday Essentials

with the Our Family brand.

Our Family is a national brand,

quality product, said Shafer.

They have a very good value.

He said SpartanNash could also

add natural and/or organic brands

to stores which, depending on

space availability and demand,

could come to Cornell.

If the request is there, Schafer

said, we will definitely look into

it.

some years of children crossed her mind.

What is your favorite part of taking pic-

tures at Lake Holcombe? I asked, expect-

ing some deep, profound statement that

would bring tears to my eyes.

Without a second thought, and a glimmer

as I may try, I dont know if I ever will.

Now, in 2016, the world lost an amazing

woman, but her memory will always be

there. Like a photograph printed and

bered. Her smile, her kind heart , he r wil l-

ingness to help will never be forgotten.

Rest in peace Judy, and if you get a

I know youve already taken several.

Can I do a story on

you yet?

It was a familiar ques-

tion at the Courier Sen-

tinel office for the last

two years. But now, withthe loss of a Holcombe icon, those words

will no longer be said.

Late last week one of my coworkers said

Judy Teske was in the hospital with pneu-

monia, again, and wasnt doing well. The

following day, Judy was no longer suffer-

ing.

As I read the message, a flurry of memo-

ries came back and I immediately thought,

now I really wont be able to do a story on

her. I had tried, believe me. Every time she

walked into the office I asked, Can I do a

story on you yet?

Judy would smile, chuckle and say,

When I retire. Although she said she was

retiring in 2014 when she moved to

Chippewa Falls, she never truly did andwould never give me the scoop on Judy.

It got close, we even had a date picked out

and I was going to meet her at her Hol-

combe home. But a few days prior she

called and said she wanted to reschedule;

but she never let me reschedule.

I kept trying, asking every time I saw her.

As much of an integral part of the commu-

nity as she was, I knew our readers would

love every word about Teske. Yearbooks

were dedicated to her, everyone knew her,

she was at everything in Holcombe. I re-

minded her of that but nothing seemed to

coax her into telling me her life story.

Whether it was out of annoyance or cour-

tesy, she finally conceded to let me ask two

questions each time she came in, and Ijumped on the opportunity. Unfortunately,

the opportunities came few and far between,

and the remainder of my page of questions

will now be left unanswered.

What I learned in my short time at the

paper, is Judy began taking pictures for

Lake Holcombe School in 1989. She

quickly became a staple at home (and even

some away) games, snapping perfectlytimed photos of the athletes. She also took

pictures for the paper, attending countless

community events, not just for the school.

I met Judy in 2005, when I started my

junior year at Lake Holcombe. Id seen her

at my brothers games, carrying around her

big black camera, always in a Chieftain-pur-

ple sweatshirt. Although we had never met,

I felt like home when she was around.

You always knew she was there, yet

somehow she blended into the scenery, able

to capture that flawless moment. You would

have thought she grew up here as much as

she loved the people and the area.

But Judy and her husband, Dave, moved

to Lake Holcombe from the Madison area

in 1988 on a search for good fishing.

Why Lake Holcombe? I asked one day.

When Dave and I got married, we got

out a map and saw where the Chippewa

River, Flambeau River and Jump Riverflowed into the Holcombe flowage, she

said. We were looking for a place to fish

and thought it would be a good spot.

Bringing only a tent, Judy said she and

Dave camped at Sportsmans Park (now the

Lions Club Park) before they eventually

bought a piece of land and bui lt a house.

The next year she started taking pictures

at Lake Holcombe, and by the time she con-

cluded that part of her life, she was on her

third generation of students at the school.

Her eyes lit up when she said that and I

could see the flash of memory as the last 25-

I hope they have free meals in heaven for you

from Manitowoc County, who served 18years in prison for a sexual assault convic-

tion but was exonerated when a DNA analy-

sis proved him innocent.

Avery was released from the Stanley

prison Sept. 11, 2003, and filed a $36 million

civil lawsuit against Manitowoc County. In

2005, Avery was arrested and convicted of

the murder of Theresa Halbach, which he

claims he is framed for by the Manitowoc

Sheriffs Department.

Averys 16-year-old nephew, Brendan

Dassey, confessed to the sheriffs department

that he helped Avery murder Halbach. But

after watching the interrogation on the doc-

umentary, Im convinced they coerced his

confession.

Dassey recanted his confession later, say-ing they got to his head. With an IQ of 70,

Dassey believed he was going back to school

after his confession, which makes me be-

lieve he had no understanding of what was

truly going on.

Im not convinced they are guilty, but Im

not convinced they are innocent either. There

are so many things with the case that make

absolutely no sense.

For example, in Dasseys confession, he

tells the police where the supposed murder

happened and how it happened, but there

was no blood or DNA from Halbach found

anywhere.

If the crime was as bad as Dassey said it

was, there should have been evidence of her

blood and DNA all over that room, regard-less of whether they tried to clean it up or

not. But there was not a single drop found.

I also wonder if Avery was framed because

of the key found that went to Halbachs ve-

hicle. Her vehicle was found on his familys

property, which is also a junk yard. The key

to her vehicle was found in Averys bed-

room; not on the first initial search, but onthe sixth, and had only Averys DNA on it.

If the key was Halbachs, wouldnt her

DNA be on her own key? It makes no sense.

And then theres Averys blood vial that

was in evidence from his 1985 arrest. When

Halbachs vehicle was found on Averys

property, there were a few blood stains inside

the vehicle that turned out to be Averys.

Averys defense team found that the styro-

foam packaging which contained Averys

blood vial was tampered with. The outside

and inside containers were sealed, but the

seal had been broken and resealed with

scotch tape.

There was also a hole at the top of the vial,

as if someone had inserted a hypodermic

needle into it.Since the documentary has been released

on Netflix and has become so popular, tens

of thousands of people have signed a petition

for Avery to be exonerated.

President Barack Obama cant pardon

Avery because it isnt a federal crime, and

Gov. Scott Walker tweeted that documentary

viewers should read unanimous Court of Ap-

peals opinions before jumping to conclu-

sions.

Neither Avery or Dassey got a fair trial.

There was definitely some sort of set up

because theres too much that doesnt add

up.

There are many articles going around that

the documentary was put on by people on the

defense side, that it is one-sided and that alot of evidence was left out.

People will have their opinions on the case

either way.

So if youre home one night and searching

for something to watch, look up Making a

Murdereron Netflix and come to your own

conclusion on what happened or didnt.

By Heather DekanSpoiler Alert.

Im an avid Netflix

watcher. Most nights,

after the kids go to bed, I

find myself flipping

through the movies for

something to watch until I

fall into a deep slumber.

I kept hearing people talk about theMak-

ing a Murderer series, so one night, as I

looked for something to watch, I came across

it. I decided to watch the documentary to see

what the hype was about.

Once I started the 10-part series, I couldnt

stop. Id come home from work and have to

put it on to see what happened next; the

whole thing frustrated me.The documentary is about Steven Avery,

Im not convinced Avery is guilty or innocent

approximately $7 million, but a federal bridge fund will cover

80 percent of engineering and construction.

Stelzner said the cost of removing the Cobban Bridge if

left standing until it falls would be equal to the cost of a new

bridge and removal of the bridge combined ($1.5 million).

We are responsible for 20 percent of the cost, said

Stelzner. So the question really doesnt come down to, Are

you going to spend the money? The question comes down

to, Do you want a bridge?

With a map and an artists rendition of the alternativebridge, a few people at the meeting said it was not as attrac-

tive as the current historic bridge.

Its a beautiful bridge to look at, said Stelzner of the cur-

rent structure. But when you get up close and really take a

look at it, its questionable whether or not it will stay in op-

eration until a new bridge is built.

Stelzner says for now, the county wants opinions on alter-

natives for the bridge; design and construction will be de-

cided later, with earliest construction of a new bridge not for

another four years.

Its very important to us to have your comments, he said.

Because its your comments, your concerns, your questions,

your ideas, your support all those will be taken and pulled

together and presented to the county board. For the next 30

days, it is important to get your comments in.

Residents can send questions and comments to Bruce Ger-

land (715-342-3010, [email protected]), or Fred

Anderson (715-738-2610, [email protected]).

area readers of the Crescent Cadott news.

She took over writing the Crescent Commiseque back in

1954 when she took over from the then reporter Edna Siver-

She then would call the local folks in the area or they

would call her and inform her of all the happenings in the

area. With that we kept up on all the new arrivals, visiting,

anniversaries, bingo and card parties, weddings and deaths

in the community.

She later took over for Edith Couey for Cadott news. Her

Letter to the Editor

Recruits begin training

at State Patrol AcademyThe Wisconsin State Patrol initiated 49 recruits to the State

Patrol Academy at Fort McCoy, Jan. 10, to begin an intense

25-week training program that will culminate in their gradu-

ation as troopers or inspectors July 1.

Locals Alan L. Diede, Jim Falls, and David W. Ecklor,

Timothy M. Knutson, Brock A. Rizzo and Aaron C. Rouland,

all of Eau Claire, join the 61st Recruit Class made up of 13cadets with military service and nine female cadets.

The cadets will train full time at the State Patrol Academy

in areas such as firearms proficiency, defensive and arrest

tactics, traffic stop contacts, emergency vehicle operations

and police pursuits, said Capt. Paul Matl, director of training

at the academy. They also will receive training in commu-

nication skills, ethics, crash investigations, criminal and traf-

fic law, as well as emergency lifesaving techniques. Their

physical, academic and hands-on training will prepare them

for law enforcement careers as either State Patrol troopers or

inspectors in one of five regions in the state.

Troopers generally patrol highways to enforce traffic safety

and criminal laws while inspectors focus primarily on en-

forcement of motor carrier (large trucks, buses and other

commercial motor vehicles) safety laws and regulations.

Cornell City Council

Elections headline first 2016 meetingBy Ginna Young

The new year for the Cornell City Council began Jan. 7,

with discussion of the upcoming spring elections.

Mayor Judy Talbot, and aldermen Steve Turany and Terry

Smith, are in the race as incumbents, while Glen Logan has

filed as a write-in candidate after Eb Ballinger signed his

non-candidacy papers.

Although the deadline for filing is past, city administrator

Dave DeJongh says those wishing to run can still get their

name in the mix, but write-in candidates must register prior

to the election for any votes to count.

They need to make the clerks office aware that they are

a write-in, said DeJongh.

On other agenda, DeJongh reported the city has received

quite a bit of interest from engineering companies to pre-pare a facility plan for Cornells wastewater treatment plant.

After touring the wastewater treatment plant in Cornell, the

interested companies talked with him.

So, start thinking how you want to go through them,

said DeJongh to the board. It doesnt have to be solely

based on price.

In talking with all of them, Ive learned something of

what they might have done in this community how they

did this one or how they rehabbed that one. You have the

ability to pick the company you best feel would take what-

ever approach you think is best for Cornell.

Talbot also informed council members that Al and Sue

Potaczek have applied to the Board of Zoning Appeals for

a Conditional Use Permit to construct a 30x20 storage shed

on their parcel of land on Riverside Drive. The couple pre-

viously planned to use the property to build a store to sell

firewood, antique farm implements and primitive items.

They changed their minds, said Talbot.

Acknowledging the Cornell Fire Department, council

member Jim Hodowanic complimented them for touring thenew Chippewa Valley Electric Cooperative offices and

shop.

They walked through and looked at stuff in the event

there is a fire, so they knew their way around, said

Hodowanic, which is good to see.

Lake Holcombe students in Pat Talbots third-grade class received an autographed photo of Speaker ofthe House Paul Ryan and Congressman Sean Duffy. Talbot has autographed pictures of government li-aisons on his classroom wall, and teaches an American Government unit each year. Because he didnthave a photo of Ryan, Talbot contacted Duffys office and requested a copy. Duffy and Ryan obliged, andtook the photograph just for the class. Talbot says its cool of them to do that and is grateful to them.

forward to help pay for a

greenhouse at the Stanley-

Boyd High School.

Basketball was introduced to the Cornell School in 1916 and

games were played in the Lyric Theatre. They eventually moved

to the elementary gym in 1920. From 1936-40, Cornell won

seven district tournaments, six in a row under Lauren (L.K.

Mac) McChesney as coach.

McChesney coached for 19 years, resigning and moving into

the athletic directors position in 1956. New coach Tom

Schoonover took over the team, and led Cornell in a playoff vic-

tory over Eau Claire. The feat was overwhelming, coming from

a school of about 200 overtaking the largest school in the state

with an enrollment of about 2,000.

In an excerpt from the article Chiefs upset Abes in 56 Clas-

sic, Barry Selmer writes:From overhead the floodlights beat

down on the polished oak floor of the arena at Eau Claires State Teachers College. Tension was

mounting. Voices rose as one trembling roar. Players were spread out across the floor.

The Eau Claire Old Abes led the Cornell Chiefs most of the first half, at times keeping a seven-

point margin. At the end of the first quarter the score was 22-15. Cornell came back with 22 points

in the second quarter and at half time, the Old Abes were ahead by one point

Cornell took the lead in the first minute of the second half and kept it until the final minuteThe fourth quarter score was like a horse race.

Duane Dude Helgerson knew how to stall, and he did. An exhibition of dribbling that brought

the house to its feet brought Helgerson around Eau Claire player Jack Rada

The game continued and with 30 seconds to go, Eau Claire was ahead, 65-64. An Eau Claire

player backed into Helgerson and was charged with a foul. Helgerson made both free throws with

11 seconds remaining. With one chance left, Rada dribbled up the court, shot and missed.

The final horn sounded and the Old Abes, champs of 1955, were dethroned. Pandemonium

broke loose.

The cheerleaders were out on the floor. The fans were out on the floor. Feet pounded the bleach-

ers, the balconies. The steel beam rafters shookYvonne Reali, Sue Mittermeyer, were laughing,

sobbing, hugging.

Following the win, the Chiefs took on Osseo the next night, but were defeated, as Selmer

writes They had peaked on Friday night. Everything had gone into that game. Nothing was left

for Saturday. Team, fans, cheerleaders all were a little off, the energy level was down. And Cor-

nell lost to Osseo 51-46. And Osseo went to state.

The 1956 team consisted of seniors Jim Payne, Jim Tyler, Vern Billiard, Bill Biss, Duane Hel-

gerson, Tom Miller, David McChesney, Roger Webster and Bill Finses, and juniors Alden Webster,

Dick Zinsli and Raymond Miller.

The Cadott Meals on Wheels program is again looking for

volunteers to deliver prepared lunches to senior residents in

Cadott.

We want to reach out to people who live in the Cadott

area, said Kelly Zimmerman, nutrition and transportation

coordinator.

Meals are prepared and packaged for pickup at Kathys

Diner and delivered around the noon hour. Volunteers are re-

imbursed per mile on the route and receive a complimentary

meal the day they volunteer.

Zimmerman says the program is flexible, and volunteers

can sign up for whatever days work, or have a set routine.

Volunteers need to own their own vehicle, and new partici-

pants will receive training.

The program is designed to provide balanced nutrition toseniors who may be homebound, but Zimmerman says vol-

unteers do more than just deliver meals.

You check on people, make sure theyre OK, see if you

notice anything out of the ordinary, said Zimmerman. Its

more than a meal, i ts a safety check; thats what theyre out

there for.

To request a volunteer application contact Kelly Zimmer-

man at 715-738-2590.

Military News

Peterson steps down as

general manager of JRECEd Wollwert, president of the Jump River Electric Coop-

erative Inc. (JREC) board of directors, has announced that

current general manager Scott Peterson has requested reas-

signment because of health reasons.I have made great progress in my recovery, said Peter-

son. However, my doctors strongly encouraged a reduction

of stress levels. Therefore, I requested that the board of di-

rectors return me to the CFO position.

Peterson will return to the CFO postion, a post he has held

in the past.

Wollwert said a regional/national search for a new general

manager has already begun, and that he and the board will

do whatever is needed to make the transition smooth and re-

sponsive to employees needs.

In recent months members have questioned a number of

existing JREC policies and on Dec. 11, five members filed a

civil lawsuit in Rusk County against eight members of the

board, asking for the reinstatement of Bill van Doorn of La-

dysmith.

Van Doorn was advised in writing by the JREC attorney at

the time of his candidacy that because he had a sister-in-lawemployed at JREC, the nepotism policy would be in violation

if he won. Wollwert said after van Doorn won the election,

he subsequently resigned, but the lawsuit seeks his reinstate-

ment.

The board sought an immediate top-to-bottom legal review

of the current nepotism policy, and with the advice of legal

counsel reaffirmed Board Policy 30A; a full explanation of

the policy appears in the January 2016 issue of the Wisconsin

Energy Cooperative News.

Wollwert says it is the goal of the board and management

to become more transparent in their policies, procedures and

decisions.

We want members to know they have the right to access

information about their co-op, said Wollwert. And to that

end, we will work to ensure information is released and

shared timely, including more information on the JREC web-

site.

Obituaries Death Notice

By Janice Craig 715-595-4380

The community has lost two of its long-time residents this

past week. Judy Teske, who used to take pictures for the

Courier Sentinel, was well-known and always there when-ever something was happening. Pete Guthman has been ill

for quite some time and was an active member of the Hol-

combe area. Sympathy is extended to each family and their

loved ones.

Many from Holcombe attended the Cornell gun show this

past weekend. There was a good turnout I understand.

Most of us are just trying to stay in and keep warm as the

temperature has been around minus 20 in the morning. We

put off doing things outside until after lunch when it is

warmer. Those who had to go to work put on lots of layers

and dressed warm.

SPORTSWEEK

Wolfpack works to reach potentialBy Kayla Peche

The Cornell-Lake Holcombe-Gilman wrestling team trav-

eled for their matches this week, starting with duals against

Bruce and Shell Lake, then moving on to a tournament in

Cadott.

Jan. 7 vs. Bruce (W 30-14), Shell Lake (L 48-18)

Head coach Greg Sonnentag said the Wolfpack didnt

wrestle to their full potential during the Jan. 7 matchup.

It was not a good day for us, he said. We had two var-

sity wrestlers out sick.

There were only three matches against Bruce during the

battle at Shell Lake. Junior Matt Kostka bumped up to the

220-pound weight class and lost by decision (5-4) to Cordell

Ralston.

Freshman Robert Fasbender won by fall against Spencer

Keeble, and Sonnentag said sophomore Alex Gehrt fought

hard to give a technical fall vs. Walker Golubiff to defeat

Bruce, 30-14.

It was then against Shell Lake that Cornell-Lake Hol-

combe-Gilman began to fall to the Lakers strong team.

The boys did not wrestle to their potential as a team

against Shell Lake, said Sonnentag of the 48-18 loss. We

made too many major mistakes leading not only to loss de-cisions but pin falls. The boys wrestled hard, but we have to

limit those mistakes if we want to beat good teams.

Jan. 9 Cadott Tournament

During a weekend tournament in Cadott Jan. 9, the Wolf-

pack limited some of those mistakes, gaining a sixth-place

finish for the day.

All the wrestlers left with some success, said Sonnentag.

Junior Takoda Lee led his team in first place at 285 pounds

by pinning his way through the tournament. Lees day ended

with a fall against Austin Knopps, Whitehall, who was a state

qualifer last year.

Placing second were Kostka and freshman Sam Pickerign.

Pickerign lost his final match in overtime, making his oppo-

nent work to pin him in six minutes, 45 seconds. Kostka

gained second after Hogan Chouinard, Glenwood City, wonby a 5-2 decision.

At 132 pounds, Zach Person, sophomore, rounded out the

top wrestlers, scoring the pack 21 points. Person lost in round

two by a decision, but earned four victories to land in third

place.

Cornell-Lake Holcombe-Gilman returns to the mat Jan. 14

against Flambeau, followed by a tournament in Ladysmith

Jan. 16.

Better to win at homeBy Kayla Peche

It was another successful tournament week for Cadott Hor-

nets Wrestling as they secured a fourth-place spot with two

athletes reaching the championship podium.

It is way better than winning somewhere else because you

know the people at home, said Andrew Gunderson, 126-

pound sophomore who won at the Jan. 9 Hornet tournament.

And its your home gym so it makes you want to win more.

Gunderson had four pinfall victories in his first matches,one of which was in 35 seconds, advancing him to the title

match. In the title match, Gunderson defeated Melrose-Min-

doro/Gale-Ettrick-Trempealeaus Les Lakey by a 13-7 deci-

sion.

Senior Brandon Pederson was also a champion in the 138-

pound weight class, and set up his final match after pinning

four opponents to the mat. Then, he defeated Preston Carlson,

Medford, by a 5-1 decision for his first tournament win in his

high school career.

As for the other Hornets, head coach Josh Spaeth says his

team is young, but they are gaining confidence and getting

better each week.

Bailey Gillett, sophomore, took second place in the 120-

pound class with a long battle in his first round against Thorps

Quade Webster, which Gillett won by major decision 10-1.

Freshmen James Pfeiffer and Mitchell Gunderson also placed

second in their weight classes, each losing to pinfalls in thefinal round.

Senior Tyler Gillett finished out the top wrestlers for Cadott

when he won the third-place match by a pin in 27 seconds.

I felt the team did very good, said A. Gunderson. And

we went against good teams.

The Hornets will host Stanely-Boyd/Owen-Withee Jan. 14

for Parents Night, then will travel to Spencer Jan. 21.

10/16

By Kayla Peche

The Cornell boys basketball team made sparks fly during

the second half of the games this week, leading to two victo-

ries. But the teams abilities were tested Jan. 11 as they took

on Cadott in a non-conference battle.

Jan. 7 vs. Bruce (W 54-49, conference)

Cornell head coach Shawn Schoelzel said the match

against the Bruce Red Raiders Jan. 7 was tight throughout,

with nobody getting more than a five-point lead.

They (Bruce) took a lead about seven minutes left in the

game, said Schoelzel. We came back and were fortunateenough to take a lead with about two minutes to go and held

on.

Junior Colton Hetke led the team with 21 points, five re-

bounds, four assists and four steals. Juniors Noah Nohr and

Trenton Glaus each added 11 points, with Nohr leading with

nine rebounds.

Schoelzel says the Chiefs created 15 turnovers, earning a

54-49 East Lakeland Conference victory. He said sophomore

Dakota Popp did a nice job of causing those turnovers.

He had three steals, but I felt his energy jump started our

defense, said Schoelzel, who added Cornell didnt turn the

ball over very much.

Jan. 9 vs. Greenwood (W 59-52, non-conference)

The Chiefs continued the winning streak with another vic-

tory Jan. 9 against Greenwood.

We started the game out pretty flat, which can be expected

on an early Saturday afternoon game, said Schoelzel. But

we started to move the ball around well against their zone

and found Noah for a lot of easy shots. He really sparked us

in the first half with 14 points.

In the second half, Greenwood put a stop to Nohrs shoot-

ing, but Schoelzel says Popp hit two three-pointers and senior

Cortland Spletter nailed another three to jump ahead.

Greenwood responded with shots of their own, tieing the

score and moving the game into overtime.

We had a nice lead coming out of halftime, said Nohr,

who led the Chiefs with 19 points. We just started slow and

eventually picked it back up. But it took overtime to finish

them off.

Schoelzel says the defense stepped up in overtime, holding

Greenwood to two points on freethrows. After scoring the

first five points of overtime, Cornell had the game in the bag,

securing a 59-52 win.

We could have made it easier on ourselves, said

Schoelzel. We went five of 13 on the freethrow line in over-

time, including missing six straight at one point. That needs

to get better.

Jan. 11 vs. Cadott (L 77-51, non-conference)

The morning before, Schoelzel said the Jan. 11 game

against Cadott would be a tough non-conference game for

the Chiefs.

It will be a good test for us to see where we sit, he said.

As the game began, Cornell started out slow, while the

Hornets began dropping their three-point shots and gaining

a large lead.

When we came out in the first half we just werent strong

enough against the zone, said Mitch Swanson, junior. Butat halftime we made some adjustments and it worked well.

Cornell closed the gap in the second half with 11 consec-

utive points, but were again stopped by a three-point shot

from Cadotts Nicky Nesvacil.

Every time we tried to do anything theyd hit a three

pointer, said Schoelzel. Even shots with hands in their face.

There were a lot of times where we just couldnt do anything

about it. They made a lot of good shots.

Nohr led the Chiefs with 22 points and Hetke added 15 for

the night, including three three-pointers. Both teams held the

game tight behind the outside line.

We kept the game closer but we just didnt have enough

time to get back into it, said Swanson of the 77-51 loss for

Cornell.The Chiefs, who lead the East Lakeland Conference, will

host second-place ranked Birchwood Jan. 15, then travel to

Gilman Jan. 18.

Defensive intensity wins

game for Lake HolcombeBy Kayla Peche

The Lake Holcombe boys basketball team

spent the week on the road, starting strong

against non-conference Shell Lake, but los-

ing momentum in the battle against confer-

ence Birchwood.Jan. 5 vs. Shell Lake (W 67-37, non-con-

ference)

Lake Holcombe held a large lead through-

out the Jan. 5 victory against Shell Lake,

jumping ahead in the second half by over 20

points.

I would say that the team as a whole last

night shot very well on offense, said Reece

Kinney, junior. We were also able to really

apply pressure on defense when we needed

to.

Leading the team was junior Jeremiah

Reedy with 24 points, including a slam dunk

after a steal from half court. Senior Nick

Seng wasnt far behind, bringing in 22

points.

Reedy says the defensive intensity is whatwon them this non-conference competition,

67-37.

Jan. 8 vs. Birchwood (L 74-54, confer-

ence)

After a 30-point victory against Shell

Lake, the Chieftains faced the conference

Birchwood Bobcats, who put a press on

Lake Holcombe right away, gaining an earlylead.

Sophomore Trent Novak said the team

didnt handle the pressure very well.

We continued to kill ourselves with

turnovers and didnt get rebounds like we are

capable of doing, said Novak. We got into

foul trouble which gave up a lot of points.

Despite scoring 15, Novak acquired four

fouls and his sophomore teammate Andrew

Brosted fouled out of the game.

Seng led Lake Holcombe with 19 points,

but it wasnt enough to stop the Bobcats of-

fensive power, and the Chieftains lost 74-54,

dropping them to 2-2 in conference stand-

ings.

To get back in the conference chase,

Novak said the team needs to fix the mis-takes of this game for their next match Jan.

5 against New Auburn.

Hornets focus on long-term solutionsBy Kayla Peche

The Cadott Hornets Boys Basketball team may have stung

two opponents down this week, but head coach Brandon Mit-

termeyer said the team needs to be tougher.

Our team needs to improve on our strength and our height,

he said. One of those we can control, so we should focus on

that.

Jan. 5 vs. McDonell Central (L 99-63, conference)

Coming off Christmas break, the Hornets took on the No. 1

ranked McDonell Central Jan. 5. The Hornets fell behind early

in the first half, as junior Drew Sonnentag said the team lackedtoughness and a drive to win.

We needed our best performance and didnt have it last

night, Sonnentag said.

Mittermeyer said he was happy that sophomore Matt

Drilling improved and performed very well. However, he

said McDonell players from Rice Lake and Cornell played

competitive, leading to a 99-63 loss.

Along with losing a Cloverbelt Conference game, Cadott

lost their junior point guard Bryce Boyea after he ruptured lig-

aments in his ankle during practice. Boyea says he hopes to

recover by basketball playoffs but is unsure of the prognosis.

We had to change a couple things with him being our start-

ing point guard, said Sonnentag. But I think we finally have

it figured out. Still going to miss not having him out there

though.

Jan. 8 vs. Osseo-Fairchild (W 61-54, conference)

The Hornets had only a few days to recover from losing a

game and player as they took on Osseo-Fairchild Jan. 8. The

game was close throughout, with the lead going back and forth

between the two rivals.

Mittermeyer said Osseo-Fairchild was very physical with

Cadott, which is a goal he wants the team to work on.

We didnt handle it as well as Id hoped, but that can only

come with time, said Mittermeyer. We really need to focus

on that as a long-term solution rather than a next game sort

of objective.

Cadott held on with nine three-pointers against the Thunder,

earning a 61-54 Western Cloverbelt Conference victory.

Junior Payton Freagon led the Hornets with six of the three-

point shots in his 20-point total. Also adding double-digit fig-ures were Drilling, with 15 points, and sophomore Bryce

McChesney, with 14 points.

Our passing stood out in this game, Mittermeyer added.

We also created a quick tempo which was in our favor.

Jan. 11 vs. Cornell (W 77-51, non-conference)

The Hornets kept the momentum up for their Jan. 11 game

in Cornell, adding 30 points from 10 three-point shots.

I was really happy how we got to the basket, said Mitter-

meyer. Thats the difference between last night and how

weve been playing.

Cadott began the game with a 21-point run. The Chiefs tried

to come back in the second half, but the Hornets outside shots

fell, leading them to a 77-51 victory.

McChesney scored 22 points including two three-pointers,

and senior Shawn Sedlacek added 15. Drilling contributed 11

points for the night, while Freagon had the most outside shots

with three three-pointers.

Jumping back to conference competition, the Hornets will

face Fall Creek Jan. 14 and Stanley-Boyd Jan. 19.

11/16

By Kayla Peche

The Cornell girls basketball team is showing their head

coach Marcus Leland what they can do defensively, but he

says after this week he wants to build confidence on offense,

so the shots begin to fall.

We just need to find a way to put some points on the score-

board, said Leland.

Jan. 7 vs. Bruce (L 40-18, conference)

Back on the court Jan. 7 after winter break, the Cornell girls

basketball team struggled against East Lakeland Conference

competitor Bruce.

The score was 17-9 at halftime, and Leland said the Chiefs

struggled to put the ball into the hoop.

We did a much better job of being strong with the basket-

ball and not hurting ourselves with turnovers, he said.

For individual scores, senior Lexi Moussette and sophomore

Danielle Fasbender contributed the same, bringing in six points

and four rebounds. Junior Abby Klein added three for Cornell

while sophomore Cheyan Shackleton added a basket.

As a team I think we did well, said Shackleton. I just

think we need to work on being more confident in shooting

the ball more and boxing out. Otherwise, I think we are im-

proving a lot.

Although the team only scored another nine points in the

second half, Leland says he was happy with their defensive ef-

fort. Even with Cornells pressure, the Red Raiders responded

with baskets of their own, leading to a 40-18 loss for the

Chiefs.

Jan. 9 vs. Greenwood (L 72-32, non-conference)

At a weekend contest in Greenwood Jan. 9, the Chiefs stum-

bled again offensively, said Leland. He says the girls were not

prepared to take on a team from the East Cloverbelt Confer-

ence.

They (Greenwood) did a good job of breaking down our

defense, he said.

Without their defense, Cornell fell behind quickly and Fas-

benders 17 points, four rebounds and two steals, and Mous-

settes 13 points, three rebounds and four steals werent enough

to win.

Despite the duo in double-digits, the Chiefs couldnt catch

Greenwood, trailing at the buzzer 72-32.

Jan. 11 vs. Cadott (L 54-38, non-conference)

On Monday, Jan. 11, the Cornell girls were right back on

the court, hosting another Cloverbelt team from the west side,

Cadott.

The Chiefs fell behind quickly as the Hornets nailed 11

points in a row, jumping to a 10-point lead. From there, Cornell

battled back with Fasbender contributing six of her 21 points

in the first half.

Starting the second half,

Cornell was only behind by

seven, but that was the closest

the girls could get. The

Chiefs fell to the Hornets, 54-

38, in the non-conference

battle.

While the scoreboard

does not show a victory, I was

very happy with the girls,

said Leland. After losing the

way we did on Saturday, we

rebounded nicely and put

ourselves in position to do

well.

The Chiefs earned 26 re-

bounds as a team, 12 from

Fasbender and 10 from

Moussette, setting a season

record.

We played very hard, Le-

land said. We had too many

turnovers and that was why

the game was not closer.

Cornell will host Birch-

wood Jan. 15 and travel to

Gilman Jan. 18.
