Talented Seymour
team returns to court
With five returning starters from last
season , the Seymour volleyball team looks
primed to compete for a conference title.
“I do believe a conference championship
is very possible with this group,” Thunder
coach Laura Trautmann said. “Although
we really do have our work cut out for us,
as the conference looks to be tough again
this year.”
The top returnees from last season are
senior middle Whitney Eisenreich, the
team’s returning offensive player of the
year and varsity starter since her sophomore year; senior leftside player Mandy
Trautmann two-time All-Conference player and starter since her freshmen year.
The other returning starters are senior
Kenna Winkler, junior Alison vonBrevern
and junior Quinn Van De Hei who all enter
their her second year starting on varsity.
Junior Megan Nagel will also play a key
varsity role.
Trautmann is also excited about her
incoming class that includes: rightside
hitter Erin Blohm, along with sophomore
Alise Gray and freshmen Brianna Ver
Voort both battling for the starting setter
position.
Rounding off our varsity roster are both
sophomore middle Kelly Sabrowsky and
freshmen outside hitter Kristina Herman,
both playing JV, will be called upon on
varsity when needed.
Trautmann also hopes a longer postseason run may be in the works, but of
course worrying about the regular season
first.
“Also go further in the WIAA tournament
and to maybe, just maybe, win another regional championship,” she said. “Returning that many players with playing time
is good, as we are not starting from the
beginning.”

The Seymour boys cross country team returns all of its varsity runners from a fourth
place squad last year, the girls hope to fill some holes.
“Led by all-conference runners Sean Wagner and Justin Skinkis, an experienced boy’s
squad with a lot of depth looks to place in the top three in conference,” Seymour coach
Scott Michalski said.
Besides Wagner and Skinkis, the Thunder also boasts Josh Hopkins, Alex Schramm,
Dylan Drephal, Derek Sachs, Brandon Rohloff, Kody Siebers, Kyle Peotter, Trey LeSatz
and Logan Brooks.
The girls team, who also placed fourth last season will try to fill the holes of Caitlin
Gardner, Haley Palubicki, and Kayleigh Patza and finish in the top half of the conference.
On the bright side, all-conference runners Tiffany Fameree and Bridget Murphy return
as juniors. Other girls are: Colleen Van De Hei, Megan Urbanek, Ellie Patza and Kalli
Vanden Heuvel.

Thunder looks to make splash in pool
After building experience over the last few seasons, the Seymour girls swim
team looks to have a better season in the pool.
“With such a big senior class,” Seymour coach Sarah Tracy said. “We should
be able to limit the distractions and be able to concentrate on swimming faster.”
The Thunder returns several key contributors from last season.
Tracy said Maggie Blohm will again give her team the most versatility and top
scores and should do very well in the freestyle sprint events.
Other seniors expected to made significant contributions are: Jessica DeGroot, Leisha Abel, Laura Iverson, Sam Priebe, Lisa Hallam and Karlet Negrete.
In the junior class, Tracy said Kristin Kmecheck came into her own last year
and should now be able to really make a difference in team scoring and adding
needed depth to the team.
And sophomores Megan VerVoort and Gail Goodacre improved last season and
the coach is hoping they’ll start where they left off last year.
Tracy also expects several others to contribute.
“We have many new swimmers, both incoming freshman and new swimmers
to the team that will add interesting mixes to the team,” She said. “Junior Megan
Vandermoss will add to the team’s depth. (Freshmen) Kaylee Olson, Meghan Opgenorth, will contribute with all their club experience. New Comers, junior Emily Pelky, freshmen Katie Menting and Leslie Scheurer should be quick learners
and contribute to the overall team standings.”
Tracy did note that the team doesn’t have big numbers and will have to stay
focused and work hard.
Division 2 runner up Sturgeon Bay is the conference favorite along with the
rest of the conference battling for positions.

Experienced Thunder look for big
things in golf
With five returning letterwinners from last season, the Seymour girls golf
team looks for a competitve year in the Bay Conference.
Seniors Erica Blohm, Rachel Wendt, Taylor Moeller, Jacey Spoehr and Melissa Weyland expects to be the cornerstones of the team.
“We return four out of our five regular varsity players from last year, so I
expect us to be competitive in all of our meets this year,” Seymour coach Matt
Timm said. “I still look for us to grow as a team a lot as the year goes along
and hopefully peak when the tournament comes around.”
Timm expects Marinette to capture the conference crown and Denmark to
place second.
He expects his team, Oconto Falls, West De Pere and Seymour to battle for
the middle positions and for Hortonville and Luxemburg-Casco to be young.

Thunder soccer team
has sights set high
From last to first.
That is the lofty goal set by the Seymour soccer team as they open the Bay Conference season.
“Our team has set a goal to win conference,”
Thunder coach Todd Messner said. “That is setting a very high goal since we finished at the
bottom of the conference last season. I feel that
it is a pretty evenly spread conference and most
games will be very competitive and there will be
surprises.
“West DePere and Luxemburg Casco were the
top teams from last year and I expect them to
be tough again this year. Also, Hotonville, New
London, Shawano, and Marinette will be looking
to fight for the top spot in conference.”
Messner figures his top players on the team
will be: junior forward/defenseman Eric Elbe,
junior forward Hunter Effa, freshman forward
Josh Fameree, junior forward/midfieldsenior
midfielder, sophomore forward John Powless IV;
senior midfielder Lance Burch, junior defender
Cody Mauthe, senior defender Drew Morrissey,
senior midfielder Doug Larson, sophomore goalie, senior defender Nick Schmidt and sophomore defender Brandon Krause.
“A good number of the players have varsity experience, but most of their experience was not
too successful,” Messner said. “We have been
working on playing more as a team, keeping our
focus for the whole game, and consistently playing with intensity. I expect this group to experience much more success this year.”

THUNDER FOOTBALL
Thunder looks towards new season on gridiron with returning backfield
The Seymour football team returns several skill position players from last season as it prepares for the new season. The strength of how well the Thunder
could be lies in the development of new quarterback Nick Effa.
The Thunder finished 7-4 last season with the year ended in the playoffs with a defeat to eventual state champion West De Pere.
“On offense, we return many of our running backs and receivers, but will be breaking in a new quarterback, Nick Effa,” Seymour coach Matt Molle said.
“Look for Mark Dessart, Bret Rottier, and Clint Cornell to lead our Wing-T based rushing attack.
In addition, expect many others (Cody Plaster, Moehring, Mike Hornick, Colton Schenk, Drew King and Keegan Schroeder) to contribute to our rushing
attack.”
Molle expects Alex Leisgang to be a big weapon for his team in the passing game. He also sees Matt Dessart, Brandon Berg, Eddie Blackbull, and Moehring
to be key components.
On the offensive line, the Thunder is led by three-year starter Ben Sabrowsky and Nate Gerhardt. He also sees Ryan Doxtator as a key contributor as well
as Andy Helein, Brandon Ullrich, James Hebb, and Drew Mader as players to fill the other positions on the line.
“It remains to be seen what type of offensive identity we will form with the loss of the Troy Rottier to Cal Skogman connection and offensive line stalwarts
such as Blaize Koon, Deitric Gray, Josh Holz, Jeremy Pierre, and James Pesola,” Molle said. “We will need to form an identity quickly and mesh a new group
of players to keep our current playoff qualifying streak alive.”
Molle said defensively, it’ll be tough to top last seasons output.
“Defensively, we have our work cut out for us to match the overall team defense of last year as last year’s unit ranked second in the Bay Conference in
points allowed,” Molle said. “Last year, we did a great job keeping our opponents out of the endzone and off the scoreboard. Therefore, we were able to stay
in games and allow our offense to find its rhythm. Getting the opponent off the field and not allowing points will obviously be a key.”
Molle sees Nate Gerhardt and Andy Helein to anchor the defensive line. Alex Opgenorth and Jacob Anderson return as starters at linebacker. Nick Effa
returns as the only starter from last year’s secondary.
“How quickly we can add new players to the defensive line and secondary will go a long way in determining what type of defense we will be,” Molle said. “In
addition, we will need new players to step up and fill significant roles left open due to graduation.”
Molle said West De Pere will again be the conference favorite.
“They are most assuredly the team to beat in our league and maybe in the area in Division 3,” he said. “After West De Pere, there will once again be several
teams vying to be at the top of the always tough Bay. Hortonville and Lux-Casco took steps forward last year and will continue to try and build off of excellent 2010 seasons. New London, Denmark, and Shawano have all recently been at the top or near the top of our league and will be hungry to get there once
again. I would expect Marinette and Oconto Falls to be vastly improved and ready to challenge for the top tier of our league.
As for us, our opening games against the Falls and Marinette will go a long way in determining which teams can separate themselves in the conference
race. We have come to expect nothing less than our best and we will work hard to continue to compete at the top of this tough league. If our seniors can give
us good leadership and we can “gel” quickly as a team, we should be able to be a solid football team. We will be tested early in our scrimmage against the
battle-tested Pulaski Red Raiders.”

Shiocton hopes to compete for a Central Wisconsin Conference-8 championship and has experience to make that a possibility.
“We have a talented group of returning letterwinners and five of them
contributed to our starting rotation last year,” Shiocton coach Terri
Roesler said. “Our first year varsity members have stepped in and filled
the void of our graduating seniors. We have excellent setters that can get
the ball to our strong hitters. We need to be consistent passers and aggressive defenders and we will be very competitive this season.”
Five seniors return from last season that include middle hitter Nicole
Ritchie, setter McKenzie Marcks, outside hitter Alyssa Polanco, outside
hitter Mandy Verbsky and right side hitter Alexa Pahlow. Other returning
letterwinners are juniors Erin Scroth, a right side hitter/middle hitter and
libero Haley Ehrle.
Others expected to contribute are junior outside hitter Holly Pingel, junior setter Johanna Chizek, junior outside hitter MacKenzie Conradt and
sophomore middle hitter/right side hitter Rachael Berard.
Roesler said the conference favorite will be Wittenberg-Birnamwood.
“They won the conference last season and have a talented group of returning letter winners,” Roesler said.
She also likes other teams chances in the league, including her own.
“We definitely have the talent to fight for a spot at the top of the conference,” she said. “And so does Bonduel, Stevens Point Pacelli and Weyauwega. The CWC-8 is a competitive conference and it’s going to be an
exciting season for everyone.”

An experienced backfield could be a major factor in how
successful the Shiocton football team is in the new season.
The Chiefs return three running backs including returning 1,000 rusher Hunter Young.
“We should be fairly solid in the offensive backfield with
all of our backs returning, “ Shiocton coach Dino Heinemeyer said. “We will stay true to our philosophy of running
the football.”
Also returning for his second season is sophomore quarterback Talon Heinemeyer. Other running backs are Freddy Fielding, Zech Riehl, Danny Erickson, Hayden Ehrle and Josue Gonzalez.
Coach Heinemeyer said an area of concern will be how
well the line plays on both sides of the ball.
“Size and depth will need to be addressed,” he said. We
will certainly look to underclassmen to help relieve some
of these concerns.”
Other upper classmen include - junior wide receiver/
defensive lineman Brandon Smith, junior wide receiver
defensive end Levi Singler, junior wide receiver/defensive
end Mitchell Collar and senior end, defensive end Branden
Ziebell. The Chiefs also have several upper classmen offensive/defensive in juniors lineman Nick Van Dyke, Riley
Stockwell, Jake Redmann, Nathan Plach, Branden Wienandt and Aaron Conradt.
The Chiefs, who finished 6-5 last season,will look to
compete in the Central Wisconsin Conference-8 along with
Stevens Point Pacelli, Bonduel, Amherst and WittenbergBirnamwood.
“Preparation during the first few weeks and our non-conference schedule will be paramount in whether or not we
meet that goal.”
