2010 RECAPIt was all about the four-setters in this sectional last fall. Kaukauna beat Kimberly in four in one sectional semi, while De Pere dispatched Manitowoc Lincoln in four in the other. Kaukauna then defeated De Pere in four to win the sectional. The Ghosts' Resch experience continued the theme as they beat Eau Claire North in (you guessed it) four in the state quarters before winning a pair of five-set thrillers over Fond du Lac (15-13) and Muskego (15-11) to capture the 2010 Division 1 state title.
