On Saturday, February 28, 2026, Mishicot junior Owen Schacht stepped onto the mat for the biggest match of his season at the WIAA State Wrestling Tournament Championship. Wrestling with confidence and control, Schacht earned a major decision victory (14-5) over second-seeded Nolan Hanke of Lancaster High School to claim the state title. His dominant performance capped off an already remarkable season and solidified his place among Mishicot’s top athletes.

Mishicot High School has officially named Joe Baeten as its new varsity football head coach, promoting a familiar face who has already spent years building relationships within the program.

This past week, the Mishicot FFA Chapter celebrated National FFA Week with a variety of dress-up days, engaging activities, and meaningful community service projects. This week served as a reminder of the chapter’s commitment to leadership, personal growth, and agricultural education.

With Lent now firmly upon us, many of the Catholics among us are forgoing the consumption of any non-aquatic meats every Friday leading up to Easter. As a Catholic myself, this practice has always seemed rather odd to me. It does not seem to be much of a "sacrifice" for most, and I never could quite understand how fish did not qualify as "meat" and why we were not allowed to eat chicken but could eat eggs.
