North’s soccer team had never won consecutive conference titles until last season.

Its hopes of making it three straight will likely be decided by the WIAA on Tuesday.

“I think the girls are really frustrated because they spent a tremendous amount of time in the offseason practicing, working, getting better as a team, and watching that get taken away because of (the Coronavirus) …” Golden Raiders’ coach Tim Eirich said. “For that, they’re extremely disappointed and frustrated and upset.”

Making the WBCA all-state team is nice and all, but a spot on the Associated Press team is a bit better.

The AP last week choose Lutheran senior Jacob Ognacevic for its first team and sophomore teammate Casey Verhagen earned honorable mention.

The meeting was the hardest part.

A few hours before the governor announced on March 13 he was shutting down schools, North baseball coach Steve Goes held a voluntary meeting with his team so he could prepare them for what he thought was coming and what inevitably happened: major delays to the start of spring sports.

Brianna Schaefer was ready to become a pitcher again, but like every spring sport, that has been put on hold.

“It’s kind of depressing,” the South junior said.

Switching positions is nothing new for Schaefer, who was also a pitcher as a freshman before moving to third base in 2019.

North’s Ted Schermetzler was painting and Kohler/Christian’s Duane DuMez was getting a head start on work around the house.

The track and field coaches obviously rather be running practices and overseeing meets.
