The Daily Green Bay team
Little Chute is moving on. The Mustangs beat Wrightstown 26-14 in Friday's Division 4 quarterfinal after trailing 14-12 at halftime, when a pick-six gave the Tigers the lead. Coach Mark Krommenacker said he got "a little too fancy at times with some play calls," so the Mustangs pounded the ball in the second half.
- Jeshua Tobon: 89 yards on 12 carries
- Reece Joten: 84 yards on 22 carries
- Trevor Verhagen: 10-yard score put Little Chute up 20-14
Little Chute (11-1) and Freedom (12-0) will play each other in the state semifinals at Ashwaubenon High School on Fri., Nov. 13. Krommenacker isn't shy about it: "I can't wait to have another opportunity."
