There were all sorts of interesting season-opening basketball games in Sheboygan, from a new coach winning her first game to a senior scoring the most points he’s ever had.

It all started Nov. 19, when the South girls gave up the first 10 points but rallied for a 56-45 victory at Plymouth in Ellyn Hansen’s debut as Redwings’ coach.

Will Hayon got most of the headlines last season, and deservedly so.

But there’s more to the Sheboygan North swim team than the standout sophomore.

“Will’s a really good swimmer, for sure,” Golden Raider Patrick Fisher said. “And he’s a major component of our team. … Having one really awesome person on a team is great, but one person doesn’t make the team.”

Cody Steffenhagen was not expecting to be Sheboygan South’s head wrestling coach.

But he is after Theran Goodale moved back home by his family a few weeks before the season began.

“He just asked me to keep it going, to continue what we started last year,” Steffenhagen said. “From going from four wrestlers back in what, 2017 or whatever it was, to 24 wrestlers last year and I’m about at the same number this year.”

This was not the start 67-year-old Bill Sunagel had in mind.

The new head coach of the Sheboygan co-op hockey team sustained an upper-body injury the first day of practice.
