We fell a little short but I’m very proud of our effort. Our boys played very hard and are hungry to keep working and get better”, commented Chequamegon coach Thomas Tollakson after the game.
Chequamegon won the JV game by a slim 1-point, giving JV coach Michael Zielke his first win as a high school coach.
