It's been interesting to watch from afar (and a lot easier thanks to the Internet). In calendar year 2007, the boy's basketball team advanced to the Division 1 semifinals at state (where Milwaukee Vincent slaughtered them), won both the state baseball and softball titles, and have the individual girls cross-country champion. And then this...football? Kimberly isn't a football town, we play basketball. When I was in high school (early 90s), there were a couple of decent teams, but back then only two teams per conference made the WIAA playoffs, and Kimberly could never get over the hump that was Appleton East and Appleton West. In 1992, the Terrors beat Kimberly 77-27. Yet Kimberly finished 6-3, so it's not like they were bad. Also, West won the state football championship that year, so that could have had something to do with the lopsided score. <BR/><BR/>But anyway, it has been an amazing run by the Papermakers. I never thought I would see the day that Kimberly would be playing at Camp Randall for a football championship. Hopefully they can beat the DeForest Norskies.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19838051.post-90739893339478251232007-11-09T23:03:00.000-06:002007-11-09T23:03:00.000-06:00Go Papermakers!!!Go Papermakers!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
