Door County was well-represented in the Fox Valley Area Senior All-star Game played Aug. 8 at the home of the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers, the Milwaukee Brewers minor league affiliate. 

Gibraltar’s Alex Laughlin and Luke Steebs and Sturgeon Bay’s Anthony Jennerjohn took part in the game. Sturgeon Bay’s John Berns joined Kita as one of several coaches participating. 

Teams were made up of graduated seniors nominated by their coaches. Kita said it was one of the greatest days of his long coaching career. 

“It was an honor to coach two of my players for one last time, and to work with a lot of great kids with awesome attitudes,” Kita said.
