RHINELANDER - Yesterday was the first day of practice for high school softball teams. And despite winning a share of the conference title last year, the Hodags have a new head coach.
She is former Three Lakes assistant coach Amanda Jorata. She takes over for Elmer Suess who retired. He was involved with Hodag softball for 22 years.
After getting hired in December, coach Jorata is ready to take over. Three Lakes won the Northern Lakes Conference titles in her 2 years there as an assistant.
There is a little bit of adjusting for the coach as well as the players. But a common language both have - winning expectations.
TOMAHAWK - Workers at Daigle Brothers in Tomahawk can build almost anything out of steel. Most of their business is creating custom parts and putting up buildings, but more recently, they've been building a new invention.
Daigle Brothers began in 1987. Back then they did a lot of construction related jobs like painting. Later they focused on steel construction.
"In the 90's we did a lot of school buildings, there was a lot of schools being built, so we supplied structural steel for these building projects... Currently our biggest markets are universities, hospitals, office buildings... we do a lot of fire stations," said Steve Daigle President of Daigle Brothers Inc.
