Kaukauna

I'm assuming she's from Menasha or Neenah.

Neenah, Kaukauna.

All right.

She likes, um-

... she likes butter squishies.

This one's for you.

31-3 over the Michigan State Spartans.

On tonight's show, we'll check in with tight end Emmett Bork out of Oconomowoc, Wisconsin, as well as kicker Gavin Lam, the pride of Kaukauna, off to a really nice start in the field goal department.

I'll leave it at that, 'cause I don't know if you believe in jinxes or not.

I'll just say he's off to a really good start as we welcome in head coach Luke Fickell.

The play of the week was powered by Spectrum, built for big moments.

Here for the Badgers.

Well, someone with some big moments already and a big leg is senior kicker Gavin Lohm out of Kaukauna, Wisconsin.

He had been the kickoff specialist in his career.

All right, there's a huge traffic backup on 41 Northbound right now.

It goes from almost Freedom Road back to Kaukauna to Law Street.

So it is a really bad backup.

41 Northbound, you might be stuck in that for a little bit.

If you can avoid that, by all means, please do.

I think you can still get off on Law Street, although it's backed up there, too.

So you might have to do the old workaround, or you're just going to be late for work this morning, Kaukauna.

Call your boss now and tell them.

Well, really only one, as remember, there was a pick six in that game by Cole Hank.

So the offense, after being shut out in week five against Kaukauna, has yet to really find their stride.

Which is uncharacteristic for an Appleton North team.

A season ago, averaged over 17 points per game.

Port Howard Group from Green Bay is here.

WKAU from Kaukauna.

Highview Golf Course from Crivitz.

Nina Paper Activities have got a group.

I use the example all the time of the paper mill because the first seven years of my life I lived across the river from the stinkiest paper mill known to man.

We then moved to the good part of Kaukauna two miles away.

It's now the slums of Kaukauna, but at the time it was the good part.

That's how you can tell that you're old.

You move into a house, you know, like in the, in the middle of the 1960s and it's brand new, and you drive past the same house right now and you realize, "It's that old house." In Wisconsin, the communities that thrive were the mill towns, the factory towns.

... won team state

Merrill's one of those teams where it's like if you're in the same conference with Kaukauna right now or just that, just that stud team.

And the reason why Merrill has so many state place winners is they're just ba- [laughs] you know, they, they get in street fights every one of their duels in their conference.

And then, you know, they don't go win team states, or we don't really talk about them much, and then their, their guys just pop up, and they're like, "Eh, this, this is nothing, right? We wrestle the best week in, week out." And, you know, that's, that's one of the benefits of having just a powerhouse in your conference

... which they've proven.

And I think numbers will be huge, and I think they have a- enough guys that could win a first round match to To make a difference

You know, for as far as the matrix I use, they weren't in it, and that's probably why I put them in, because they have history on their side, right? And it's, uh, uh, not, not, uh, comparing them to a level of Kaukauna, but right, Kaukauna this year and what, three, four years ago we were talking about they only returned six starters, but it's those, those backups that they put in.

And, uh, Merrill does have a pretty strong wrestling room.

Beat Waunakee 37 to 32.

Lost to Kaukauna 68 to 12 in, uh, the semis.

Big senior class last year that helped them get to that point.

They're returning 4 of their 12 starters and 65 points.

Uh, can you imagine-

And Kaukauna

...

if he was playing full games? He might have twice the yardage right now.

That's was, that was against Neenah.

They won that game 56-53.

Uh, Kaukauna, in the second week, he had 46 carries for 453 yards.

Um, and, uh, how many touchdowns did he have in those? I think he had 12 touchdowns in those two games.
