Seymour and
Wrighstown are no longer among the ranks of the undefeated.
So do they
stay at the top of the Power 5 or do they slide down in our basketball version
of King of the Hill?
1) Coleman –
Now who would have thought that the Cougars would ascend to the top of the
hill? But the Cougars are 16-0. Will they stay there? They play Crivitz on the
road tonight and the Wolverines are just one game back. If Coleman gets past
Crivitz tonight, their toughest remaining contest will be a non-conference game
against Florence.
2) Sheboygan
Lutheran – The Crusaders handed Oostburg its first conference loss last week.
Sheboygan Lutheran now sits one-half game behind the Flying Dutchmen. Sheboygan
Lutheran’s toughest game is tonight against Manitowoc Lutheran. After that, the
rest of the schedule has Random Lake at home, at St. Mary Catholic and at home
against Reedsville.
3) Seymour –
The Thunder are 9-1 in the Bay Conference and 15-1 overall after last week’s
slip against New London. The Thunder has a huge game against Xavier this week. Seymour has six games in a two-week stretch
starting with Xavier on Friday followed by games against Menasha, Green Bay
West, Sturgeon Bay, Freedom and West De Pere.
4) Wrightstown
– The Tigers sit at 17-1 overall and 13-1 in the North Eastern Conference. With
a one-game lead over the Freedom Irish, the Tigers are still in the driver’s
seat at conference games against Denmark, Fox Valley Lutheran, Luxemburg-Casco
and Little Chute remaining.
5) Kimberly – The Papermakers are 16-2 overall and 14-0 in
the Fox Valley Association. The rest of the Papermakers’ schedule has Fond du
Lac on the road, a tough home game against Neenah, Kaukauna on the road and
Appleton East at home.

the door – Xavier 13-4, Crivitz 13-4, Manitowoc Lutheran 13-4, Hilbert 13-4, Oostburg
