9/5/25 Football: New Richmond 42, Chi-Hi 14

On the road against the defending Big Rivers champs, the Chippewa Falls Cardinals (1-2, 0-1 Big Rivers Conference) overcame an early 14-0 deficit, marching toward a potential tying touchdown at the end of the first half.

The defense of the Tigers (3-0, 1-0 BRC), however, was up to the challenge, halting the Cards' in the red zone to preserve the lead, and then garnering two fumble recoveries early in the second half, leading to 14 unanswered points and propelling New Richmond to a home victory.

WOGO "RadioActive" Award Watch:
Senior Jaylyn Smith piled up the all-purpose yards as he continued to make plays in all three phases of the game, including a 55-yard romp for a touchdown and an absolute circus catch down the sideline..

Led by 13 fired-up Seniors the Macks(1-0) led 20-0 after the 1st quarter and 47-8 at the half on their way to 59-24 defeat of visiting Alma Center Lincoln(0-1). 

Senior RB's Dawson Moulton and Eli Stepp led the way scoring a combined 7TDs while running for a combined 233 yards on 24 carries all in the 1st half. The Macks starting D was also in constant pursuit of Hornets QB, Adam Massman, while also completely bottling up their few running attempts.

WOGO "Radioactive Award" Watch: Senior RB's Dawson Moulton and Eli Stepp shone most brightly in the Macks big, season-opening win, and they did it all in the 1st half. Moulton ran 16 times for 144 yards and 4 TD's. Stepp was a wonderful complement going for 89 yards on 8 carries and scoring TD's of 22, 11, and 14 yards on his last three carries.

6/5/25 WIAA Division 4 Softball State Semi-Final: #1 Pacelli 3, #4 McDonell Lady Macks 0

Playing in the State Tournament at beautiful Goodman Diamond on the campus of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, the Lady Macks (17-9, 8-4 Western Cloverbelt Conference) went toe to toe with one of the premier teams in the state in the Cardinals (28-1, 12-0 Central Wisconsin South Conference). 

Both pitchers were outstanding, dueling through four scoreless innings before Pacelli finally broke through with three runs in the fifth, which would prove to be the only scoring of the game.

Matched up against one of the best hurlers in the state, McDonell sophomore Kelsey Bremness held her own, scattering six hits while striking out two. The defense behind her was rock solid as well, with junior Keagan Winger at third, sophomore Claire Ruf at short, senior Kendall Hepfler in left, and sophomore Rylie Christianson in center all making at least one critical play to hold down a dangerous Pacelli lineup.

6/10/25 WIAA Division 1 Baseball Sectional Semi-Final: #1 Hudson 13, #4 Chippewa Falls 3(6 Innings)

         Chippewa Falls(18-10-1) grabbed the early lead on Cole Perlberg's three-run homer, his fourth of the year, in the top of the first, but Hudson(21-6) bounced back in the bottom of the first with three runs of their own, capitalizing on three Sam Bresina walks to tie the game.

The Cards called on Brady Smith to pitch in the bottom of the 2nd. After retiring the first two hitters the Raiders' Logan Hagman homered after a Sam Abrahamson single providing Hudson with all the offense they'd need for the win, though they scored three more runs that inning going up 8-3. Later the Raiders added a run in the 5th and closed out the game with four runs in the 6th.

The Cards added two more runs in the third on a Gavin Thompson single and five more in the fourth, all coming with two outs.

      Smith, the junior, retired the first seven Mustangs in order and struck out seven while giving up zero walks in gaining the complete game win.

6/5/25 WIAA Division 4 Softball Sectional Final: #4 McDonell Lady Macks 9, #1 Shell Lake 0

In one final game at Casper Park, the Lady Macks (17-8, 8-4 Western Cloverbelt Conference) struck first against the Lakers (15-9, 8-2 Lakeland - West Conference), and slowly added to their advantage throughout the contest.

With timely hitting and unflappable calm in the circle, McDonell earned a shutout victory in the Sectional Final, punching their ticket to the WIAA Division 4 State Tournament in Madison.

Sophomore pitcher Kelsey Bremness went the distance once again, striking out 10 - including the game-ending K - and drove in three runs for good measure. Fellow sophomores Claire Ruf and Lizzy Leibrandt each went 4 for 4 at the plate, and both also had two RBIs. Sophomore Rylie Christianson was 2 for 3 on the night, plus an intentional walk, and sophomore Aleah Bowe again did damage from the eight spot in the order, tallying two hits and a run scored.

       Chi High's(17-9-1) relentless offensive attack propelled them to an 11-1, five inning win over Marshfield(10-17) and into Thursday Regional Final vs. Menomonie. The Cardinals scored two runs in each of the first two innings, three in the third, and four more in the 4th on their way to their four-and-a-half inning win.

Despite walking in a run in a shaky third inning, sophomore lefty, Sam Bresina, was again impressive striking out five in the win.

6/2/25 WIAA Division 4 Softball Sectional Semi-Final: #4 McDonell Lady Macks 7, #2 Colfax 6

On the road once again, this time against the #2 seed, the Lady Macks (16-8, 8-4 Western Cloverbelt Conference) struck first, plating two in the opening inning, but the Vikings (16-8, 12-2 Dunn-St. Croix Conference), quickly cut that lead in half with a solo homer in the bottom of the first.

McDonell stretched their advantage to as many as five runs, but the powerful top of the order for Colfax would not be denied, and the home team clawed their way back within a run, before a drama-filled final inning in which the Lady Macks held off a final push from the Vikings.

Sophomore pitcher Kelsey Bremness went the distance, striking out 10, including two crucial Ks in the final frame, while fellow sophomore Claire Ruf went 4 for 4 at the plate. Sophomore Rylie Christianson was 3 for 4 on the night and made two incredible catches in center, while senior Kiara Leinenkugel tallied two hits.

6/2/25 WIAA Division 1 Softball Sectional Semi-Final: #1 D.C. Everest 2, Chippewa Falls 1(8 innings)

     In a tremendous pitcher's duel between D.C. Everest (24-2) senior, Addison Kluck (11k's), and Chippewa Falls sophomore, Violet McIlquham (8k's), the Evergreens prevailed in 8 innings, 2-1.

After McIlquham retired the first 15 Evergreen batters in a row, the Lady Cards scored the game's first run in the top of the 6th on a Laney Henkelman two out double. However, in the bottom of the 6th a lead off walk led to Everest's first run of the game. Then, after the Cards weren't able to capitalize with bases loaded and one out in the 8th Everest did turn a lead off walk in the bottom of the 8th into the game winning run on a Sydney Spear sac fly.

On the road against the #1 seed, the Lady Macks (15-8, 8-4 Western Cloverbelt Conference) scored the game's opening run before the Tigers (18-8, 6-4 Marawood South Conference), plated three in the bottom of the first to regain the advantage.

After that, however, the home team would not score again, as McDonell pitched six straight shutout innings, clawing their way back to a tie game and eventually taking a lead that they would not relinquish on the way to a regional crown.

Senior Kendall Hepfler went 3-4 from her leadoff spot, scoring twice, while junior Keagan Winger, sophomore Claire Ruf, and sophomore Lizzy Leibrandt each collected two hits. Sophomore pitcher Kelsey Bremness pitched the complete game, striking out four, and didn't allow a run after the first inning.

  Through five innings of game one the Cards'(16-7, 7-5) were up 1-0, as their sophomore pitcher, Sam Bresina, dueled with New Richmond(17-5, 9-4) senior, Aiden Eckert, but when Bresina left the Tigers exploded for six runs in the 6th and two more in the 7th on their way to an 8-1 win.

The Cards bounced back in game two getting their lead-off hitter on base in all of the game's six innings and scoring three in the 4th and 5th, and seven in the 6th, on their way to a 14-1 win.

Playing a doubleheader to finish out their conference schedule, the Macks (12-7, 4-6 Western Cloverbelt Conference) found themselves in a pitchers' duel in Game 1 against the Hornets (9-8, 5-5 WCC), who started the day just above McDonell in the Western Cloverbelt standings.

In a low-scoring affair against a future Division 1 pitcher, the Macks battled their way to a victory, but were unable to sweep the day when they were held to just a single run in Game 2.

Junior pitcher Cael Holm had another strong showing in the first game, fanning eight, allowing just two hits, and going six and a third innings without giving up a run.
