MANITOWOC, Wis. (WFRV) – In a sport defined by precision and balance, Manitowoc Lincoln senior gymnast Ella Zutz is redefining what’s possible and showing how sports can truly change a life.

Gymnastics demands total body awareness, yet Zutz competes at a high level on one foot. It’s a reality she has lived with since childhood. But what could have been a limitation became a foundation for confidence, resilience and self-belief.

“I had a foot accident when I was two years old,” Zutz said. “I was taken to the Children’s Hospital, where I had surgeries every day for two weeks.”

Long before she ever stepped onto a competition floor, Zutz was learning how to navigate daily life differently. Those early challenges shaped her mindset, but gymnastics, in particular, helped transform adversity into strength.

“After I learned to re-walk, my parents put me in gymnastics just to help me get going,” Zutz said.

Now a senior, Zutz is a key part of a small Lincoln gymnastics team where every ounce of effort and attitude matters.

“What keeps me motivated is how far I’ve come,” Zutz said. “I wouldn’t have thought I’d get to do this, but I worked hard to get here.”

Gymnastics has given Zutz confidence, especially on the floor exercise, where she says she feels the most free and powerful.

“Seeing her growth on floor from freshman to senior year is just really fun to see,” teammate Khloe Jalbert said.

With a limited roster, Zutz’s energy and determination lift the entire team. Head coach Jacque Bartow described her as someone whose attitude elevates the gym.

“For us, it’s like, ‘Oh, Ella doesn’t have a foot,’” Bartow said. “When we go to other gyms and spaces, all eyes are on her. Then you sit back and realize what she is doing is truly amazing.”

Zutz says that after everything gymnastics has given her, she hopes others facing adversity can find strength through sports as well.

“There are going to be mean people and people who tell you that you can’t do things,” Zutz said. “But just trust yourself and know that you can.”

Bartow says Zutz’s impact stretches beyond gymnastics itself and will continue to shape the program for many years to come.

“It’s that whole idea that you can do anything as long as you put your mind to it,” Bartow said. “In the future, when we hold youth clinics and kids see Ella out there doing these things, it’s incredibly inspiring.”

From the gym to everyday life, Zutz shows that limits exist only if you let them. Through determination, courage and the lessons learned on the mat, she proves that challenges don’t define you — your attitude does.

Jones quarterback DerronColeman and Lake Mary quarterback Noah Grubbs have been on similar missions their entire senior seasons. The end is nearly here for the high school careers of the best two quarterbacks in the Orlando area. Never before have there been two elite Orlando-area quarterbacks sign with Power 4 programs in the same class. Coleman has signed with Miami and Grubbs with Notre Dame.

They ended their junior years with the same bad taste in their mouths. Grubbs and Lake Mary lost to Venice in last year’s Class 7A state championship game, 52-19. Coleman and Jones lost that nightmare of a game against Plantation American Heritage in the 4A state championship game, 40-31.

They have each gargled through 14 opponents this season trying to wash out that taste, trying to get back to the state title game and redeem themselves. They made it.
Jones (13-2) will face Heritage (8-5) again in a 4A title rematch Saturday at 12:30 at FIU’s Pitbull Stadium in Miami, the scene of last year’s failure. Lake Mary (11-3) has the nightcap Saturday at 7:30. The Rams take on Vero Beach (14-0).

Dec. 13—The Bravettes started strong, but the Bison finished stronger.

Mia Cerna scored 12 points, including eight in the final quarter and Great Falls overcame a 14-point second half deficit to down Flathead 42-39 in AA girls basketball Friday in the Boyle Gym at Flathead High School.

Flathead (0-1) had two chances to send the game to overtime as Grace Gall's 3-pointer rattled off the rim, but a travel from Great Falls (1-0) gave the Bravettes 3.1 seconds to put up another shot.

Reese Rosenberg had a good look from the top of the key, but it rimmed out and the Bison escaped with the victory.

"We had some really good rotations defensively," Bravettes coach Kaylee Fox said. "I think down the stretch we got a little bit tired, our legs got a little bit tired, and we lost a couple people in our half-court defense."

Kendall Gonser added 11 points for Great Falls, eight of those coming in the second half.

Freshman Brynn Kossman led the Bravettes with 10 points. Kossman joins Flathead as a transfer from Eureka; she featured prominently for the Lions a season ago as an eighth-grader.

Kossman knocked down a pair of free throws early in the third quarter to put Flathead up 27-13, but then Bravettes junior Caitlin Converse left the game with a quad injury and Great Falls seized control. Converse had nine points in the game.

"Caitlin not only is a great ballhandler, but she's also a leader for us, so just not having her voice on the court was an impact," Fox said.

Fox was unsure if Converse will play in Saturday's game against CMR. Tip-off is set for 2 p.m. in the Boyle Gym.

A 15-1 Bison run tied things at 28 late in the third quarter. Gall knocked down a shot to restore Flathead's lead just before the buzzer, 30-28. The sophomore forward ended with nine points.

"Down the stretch, I think we just had a few possessions where we rushed shots," Fox said. "They were pressing us, sped us up a little bit, we would like to have those possessions back and have better opportunities to run the clock a little bit."

Early in the fourth Cerna hit a triple to put the Bison ahead 33-32, their first lead since it was 5-4 midway through the first.

Gall answered with a triple of her own and Flathead led 35-33.

Great Falls went on a 6-2 spurt, capped by a Gonser bucket, to lead 41-37.

Kossman finished inside for Flathead before Cerna added a free throw with 19 seconds left.

Fox felt that her team showed a lot of promise for the season.

"I thought there were a lot of really good things that happened tonight," Fox said. "I thought our girls played really hard and we learned a lot of lessons from playing in this close game and playing a very physical team."
