DIVISION 1
APPLETON NORTH 21, KIMBERLY 10

North (10-2) advances to play Franklin (12-0) in a state semifinal next Friday at a site to be determined.

North’s win over Kimberly snapped an 11-game losing streak to the Papermakers, which also included a pair of playoff defeats.
“It means so much because the kids have really invested a ton and time to get to this point,” North coach Rob Salm said. “We went through the COVID thing and that was a tough year and a half, but these kids stuck together through that. The entire time we were lifting at 5:30 in the morning and so this didn’t just happen, they put the time in to it. When you put in the effort to make something happen and then you get the result like tonight, it just means so much more.”
North led 14-10 at the half and the Lightning defense came up big in the third quarter to stop a 16-play, 46-yard drive by Kimberly that stalled at the North 23.
The ensuing drive saw the Lightning fumble at the Kimberly 13, but the North defense forced a three-and-out and North’s next drive was capped with an 8-yard Martine touchdown run in the fourth quarter.
“Kimberly’s a great opponent,” Salm said. “ We knew this would be a challenge but the kids were up to it and played their best 48 minutes they played all season and able to get this thing done.”
Kimberly’s season finishes at 11-1.
“Appleton North is so talented and they make you have to capitalize on those opportunities and tonight we just weren’t able to,” Kimberly coach Steve Jones said. “I told the guys that they were loved unconditionally regardless of what the scoreboard says. They’re loved for who they are and not what they do and the toughest part is that we don’t get to be together anymore so losses sting, but the fact we just don’t get to be together anymore and this group never gets to be together again is the toughest thing.”
Appleton North 7 7 0 7 – 21
