"You never realize how much one point is until you lose by less than one," said Panther coach Mary Olszewski. "The girls knew it was close and they pulled together and fought hard until the last girl landed her vault," she said. The Panthers scored 138.750, but Sheboygan scored 138.825 to qualify ahead of SPASH for the meet. Neenah-Menasha won the sectional with a score of 142.875. Only the top two teams and top five individuals advance to state.

The Panthers had several gymnasts who were also close to qualifying as individuals. Munsey was sixth in the beam, Raenee Bugarske was ninth in vaulting, Munsey was sixth and Bugarske was seventh in the floor exercise, and Kim Klosno was sixth in the bars. In all around, where the top three finishers advance to state, Munsey was fifth and Bugarske was 10th. "Practice will continue as usual this week," Olszewski said after the sectional. "The team will cheer on Kaity, Jenna and Anne on Friday night when they compete for individual awards." Wrestling: Josh Calhoun took sixth place in the 112-pound class at the State Wrestling Meet.

Snow is the first Pacelli athlete to place at a WIAA event. "It's special," said Cardinal coach Jay Yenter. "We put some kids through our program and they didn't get a lot of respect. Now we can say we have a placewinner." "I'm really excited," said Snow. "I set some high goals for myself at the beginning of the year. I thought I was good enough to get in. I'm just happy that I did. It's a lot different than the WISAA tournament. It was more intimidating coming into the new stadium. After a while you just get used to it." Amherst Boys basketball: The Falcons closed out the regular season with a 59-51 victory over Pacelli Friday. Pacelli jumped out to a 15-3 lead after the first quarter but the Falcons came back to knot the score at half, 20-20, then grabbed a 37-36 lead at the three-quarters mark. "The things that got us back in the game and the lead were things we talked about doing before we played," said Falcon coach Gregg Jensen. "We can't put ourselves in a hole like we did before we woke up. Nic Genske did a nice job and Tim Olson had some good spells." Jesse Konkol led the Falcons with 17 points and eight rebounds. Nic Genske had 13 points and six rebounds and Jeremy Sherf added 10 points and eight rebounds. The Falcons season came to an end Tuesday as they lost to Auburndale, 58-48.

Wrestling: Hornet sophomore Casey Giese dropped his initial match at 103 pounds in the State Wrestling Meet in Madison on Friday. He wound up with a 26-16 record for the year. "Casey is a quality wrestler and has proven abilities," said Hornet coach Alan Carter. "His qualification, along with 11 other Division III wrestlers for the state tournament says exactly that. As he matures as a wrestler, he'll only get better." Carter said he congratulates Giese and the rest of the school's wrestlers on their achievements and hard work, while also wishing the seniors well. Graduating from the team are Tom Stanislawski at 275 pounds, Tom Van De Yacht at 119 and Willie Van De Yacht at 125. "Their experience and leadership will be missed," Carter said.
