DuJuan Harris to sign autographs at 'Cardinal Spring Splash'  

A Packers player will lend his time to help a Sun Prairie school raise funds for to equip the pool.

DuJuan Harris of the Green Bay Packers will sign autographs at the "Cardinal Spring Splash" Sun Prairie High School swim team fundraiser Thursday.

Splash event organizer Cindy Ulsrud said the event will be more relaxed than typical celebrity signings; she said bringing Harris in was an idea to give attendees a bit more benefit for helping the swim team.

"In talking about the event, we thought, ‘We really need more to give people a little bit more bang with your buck when you buy a ticket,'" Ulsrud said.

Through connections, Ulsrud said she and co-organizer swim coach Nancy Harms were able to get Harris involved, which provides "a real-life little bonus for people attending," Ulsrud added.

The Verona girls' basketball team's dreams of going to the state tournament in Ashwaubenon ended Saturday, thanks to a scrappy Sun Prairie team.

Angie Murphy and the Wildcats were trying to beat the Cardinals for the third time this year.

But Sun Prairie had other ideas. Mckayla Yentz scores 16 points, over half her team's total to lead the Cardinals to a 30-26 win.

Late in the 4th quarter, with 3 minutes to go, the Wildcats Jenni LaCroix hit a three to tie the game at 23.

But Sun Prairie responds, as Jenna Conom knocks down a three of her own. The cardinals hang on for the upset to become regional champs and play Madison La Follette next Thursday in Sun Prairie.
