A look back at some of the sports happenings during the week of Nov. 17-23:

Last year on Nov. 19, 2023: Tucker Kraft turned in one of the biggest plays of the day to help his Green Bay Packers defeat the visiting Los Angeles Chargers 23-20. The former Timber Lake and SDSU standout tight end caught a Jordan Love pass on what looked like a short gain and turned it into what looked like a 39-yard, first NFL touchdown complete with a tradition celebration Lambeau Leap on Kraft’s part. After Kraft caught the pass, he outran a defender, hurdled over another one and tip-toed down the sidelines. However, a review determined Kraft stepped out of bounds at the 12-yard line after his 27-yard gain. Nevertheless, his big play set up the Packers’ game-winning touchdown (which was scored by Kraft’s former rival and now teammate, Christian Watson of NDSU).

10 years ago on Nov. 22, 2014: Coach Kari Jung and her Warner volleyball team has gone 101-2 over the past three seasons, winning the last three State B titles.
