* The Elkhart Lake-Glenbeulah varsity football story is a good one for fans to follow. The Resorters lost to Ozaukee 8-7, but there were smiles all around from a team that competed hard and knew it after the game. Sure, the Resorters want to win, but they know it's great just to be out there playing. The team's fans were jubilant the entire game and offered support after.
* Elkhart Lake's Alex Brown is taking a smart approach to trying to obtain a scholarship. Instead of trying to be a quarterback or defensive back at a D-I school, he's trying to get one as a kicker. He boots them 45 yards in practice, and attends an elite camp that routinely sends kickers to D-I schools. His dream school? The University of Colorado, because he's a big fan of the Packers' Mason Crosby.
* The Feldmann family IS Elkhart Lake football. The head coach is Barry Feldmann, his brother Brian "Fuzzy" Feldmann is an assistant, their kids handle water for the players and their father, Ron, works the chains.
Ron has been doing it since 1960, and has seen the good and the bad of Elkhart football. The Resorters led 7-6 at halftime, but Ron was worried that Elkhart might get run over in the second half, "We're a little thin," Ron said. To the Resorters' credit, they weren't run over. They battled.
* Ozaukee has a nice three-headed back trio of Collin Scheuermann, Josh Huiras and Shawn Flom. Each had more than 60 yards and averaged better than 4 yards a carry against Elkhart. Ozaukee hosts Sheboygan Lutheran/Kohler next week. If the Warriors win, they will be 4-0 heading into a Week 5 showdown at Random Lake. While walking off the field on Friday, coach Lee Baldwin said "The CLC should be very interesting," and that was probably before he heard about Oostburg's win over Cedar Grove-Belgium. How prophetic.
