Great Northern Conference as a ….

Great Northern Conference as a freshman during Medford’s 12-0 run through the league and 19-5 run through the 2019-20 season. He certainly appears to have a bright future in basketball, as well as baseball and football, when sports resumes.

Also, Mike Lucas, the state’s number-one media source for all things Wisconsin Badgers, recently came out with his All-Decade team for UW football and lists Medford’s Ethan Hemer as a top defensive tackle for a 4-3 scheme, along with Patrick Butrym. He picked Hemer ahead of Beau Allen, who currently is on the New England Patriots’ roster after spending four years in Philadelphia and two in Tampa Bay.

After graduating from Medford in 2009, Hemer played in 54 games for Wisconsin in the 2010-13 seasons and started in three straight Rose Bowls.
