The Green Bay Packers have announced that Wausau East football head coach Tyler Kramer as the Packers’ High School Coach of the Week.
This season the Lumberjacks are 6-3 overall and finished in a second place tie in the Great Northern Conference at 5-2 to earn the program it’s first playoff berth since 2012. Friday the Lumberjacks will also host their first playoff game since 2007 when they host Fox Valley Lutheran in a Division 3 Level 1 game at Thom Field.
It’s the second season Kramer has been the varsity coach at East. That came after the program did not field an 11-player varsity squad for two years due to lack of players. Last season East returned to varsity competition with a 2-7 record and 1-6 in the Valley Football Association.
Kramer is a 2017 graduate of Wausau East and played football for the Lumberjacks.
