It’ll be an exciting week at Appleton North High School as both the boys and girls volleyball teams are headed to the Resch Center in Green Bay for this week’s WIAA State Championships. It’s one of two state tournaments that will crown champions this weekend, the other is the boy’s state soccer finals at the Uihlein Soccer Complex in Milwaukee. A couple of other area teams will also experience the thrill of state. Appleton Xavier will be the top Division 2 seed in girls volleyball. In soccer, Pulaski is back at state for the second time in school history and the Notre Dame Tritons are back for the 11th time, seeking a 4th state championship after coming close in each of the past two years.
The action begins at both sites on Thursday. Here are the matchups and the pairings for the weekend.
