Bloomer’s Isabella Jenneman ready to slug again
after beating odds in ACL return

B BY AARON ROSE | LEADER-TELEGRAM STAFF
LOOMER — It was just a routine pop-up down the first base foul line. Bloomer
first basemen Isabella Jenneman was shading over into foul territory to make the
catch. Camped under it, the ball hit her glove, then she felt a jolting pain rush
through her knee.
“I could feel it pop as it twisted,” Isabella said. “Instant pain and it just swelled up.”
Looking on, Isabella’s mother, Becky, said she could feel her daughter’s pain. Twen-
ty-five years earlier, she went down grabbing her knee in a high school basketball game,
and now, she watched as her daughter lay on the ground, crying as her knee quickly
began to swell up.

“It kind of looked like a balloon,” Isabella said. “I couldn’t walk on it.”
Her coach, Keith Poirier, came out of the dugout to check on his star slugger.
“I waited for her to get up and she didn’t get up,” Poirier remembered. “She said her
knee hurt, but I told her to walk it off, but it was a lot more serious than it looked. You
wouldn’t have believed it was just one of the most innocent plays ever.”
Her father, Brady Jenneman, said the moment was “heart sinking.” He watched as his
daughter tried to hobble back to her base.
Not realizing the severity of what had just transpired, Isabella bandaged up her knee
and decided to bare through the pain for the rest of the inning. Between innings, it be-
came too much and she decided she needed to come out.
“She said she felt like her leg was in two pieces,” Becky Jenneman said.
After the game, a 9-3 victory over Cumberland on May 8, 2018, the Jennemans decided
they needed to take their daughter to the hospital. X-rays on her knee came back nega-
tive, but doctors wanted to run some more tests. There, Isabella’s fears were confirmed.
Just like her mother 25 years prior, Isabella tore through her ACL.
“I instantly started crying,” Isabella said. “I knew softball was over with and I didn’t know
if I would make it back to basketball right away.”

STAFF PHOTO BY SPENCER FLATEN “She had it in her mind that she was not
going to miss basketball or softball this year,”
Bloomer’s Isabella Jenneman looks for a shot while Regis’ Teryn Karlstad defends on Thursday, Feb. 14, in Eau Claire. Becky said.

On November 20, Isabella proved the doc-
tors wrong and walked out onto the court
at Elk Mound for Bloomer’s season season
opener.

Again, her father watched nervously as
his daughter ran up and down the court. He
said it was a physical game and Isabella was
playing tough in the post. And then, she lost
her footing and fell to the ground.

“My heart jumped out of my chest,” Brady
said.

For a moment, it looked like Isabella had
come back too quickly. But, she rose back up,
shook out her knee, and finished the game
unscathed, leading the Blackhawks to a 41-
30 victory over Elk Mound with a team-high
10 points.

“I almost had tears in my eyes,” Becky said.
“We knew how hard she worked. She wanted
it, and she got it.”

After a successful basketball season, Isa-
bella turned her attention to softball as the
Blackhawks took a trip down to Florida to get
in some preseason games in late March.

“The first game you could tell that she was
apprehensive about the knee and pressing a
little bit at the plate,” Poirier said. “She didn’t
have a really good first game out there, kind
of let it all mentally come in and she broke
down a little bit.”

She went 0 for 3 with a walk and three
strikeouts in the first game, a 6-5 loss to
Dublin Jerome.

After the game she called home and spoke
to her mother who encouraged her to put
her brace back on to help get over the men-
tal hurtle of stepping back out onto the field.

She didn’t listen. Once again, she took
the diamond without the brace. This time
though, the results were different. She start-
ed the game 1 for 3 with a run and a walk.

Tied 8-8 in the bottom of the ninth against
La Crosse Aquinas, her four-spot came up in
the order. With Rylee Luzinski looking in from
second, Isabella rocked a walk-off double to
take the 9-8 victory.

The hit was vintage Isabella. Last season,
she hit four home runs and had 25 RBIs
before the injury. This year, she’s expected to
be the Blackhawks’ slugger and once again
hit fourth and play first.

Now, 11 months after she fell to the
ground grabbing her knee, Jenneman says
she is ready for one last season and a chance
to lead the Blackhawks to a conference title
and a trip to Madison.

WITH EAU CLAIRE MEMORIAL’S OLIVIA HANSON

By Jack Goods

Just four years ago, Olivia Hanson was running up and down the Eau Claire
Memorial soccer field as a player.

Now, she’s already the head coach of the program before even graduating
from UW-Eau Claire, taking over for Scott DeRusha this season. She’s experi-
enced an incredibly quick rise, first joining the Abes as a JV assistant three years
ago. She spent one year last season as head JV coach before getting another
promotion. The former Big Rivers player of the year is now in charge of a team
that’s won seven straight conference titles at 21 years old.

Hanson is our featured member of the prep scene in this month’s Five-point
Buckshot, a monthly Q&A with an influential person in the Chippewa Valley prep
sports community.

With your limited time as an assistant, do you find there’s a lot to learn
about being a head coach?

The nice thing is that I’ve gotten to work with so many different coaches. I’ve
kind of gotten to experience different styles in the way that I’ve developed my
philosophy. It’s been quick. When you look at it it’s really been only four years,
but the amount that I’ve learned in that short period of time has been immense.
I guess time doesn’t exactly determine knowledge.

Do you feel it is easy to connect with players since you were in their shoes
recently?

Seeing that I was an Old Abe, I bleed purple, honestly I’ve been an Old Abe
since I graduated, I think that helps me make a connection with not only the
girls and the school but the community as well. I’ve had so many different op-
portunities, even outside of school.

instructs players during a practice on April 12 at Memorial.
I have inherited a very supportive group of people. Between the family and
girls and the overall program, everyone has been there to support me with ev-
erything and anything I needed, as well as my assistant coach and my JV coach.
It’s more of a family aspect.

With prior experience working with the previous staff, is there anything
you’re expecting to change?

A lot of the things I have stepped into, I agree a lot with what Scott has done
in the past. We’re going to do a different formation this year, kind of just testing
things out because I didn’t get to work with the girls. He was a phenomenal
coach. I’m definitely stepping into some big shoes there. Every time you get a
new coach you just take a new perspective.

My cooperating teacher has been really good about making my schedule
work, which has been really nice. But yeah, finding a balance is really helpful.
It’s going to be a good transition because I’m going to be looking for a job in
the Eau Claire district, so it will be a nice little practice before the real thing. It’s
multitasking at its finest, but who isn’t doing that?

Former Mustang gets chance to come
home, path to staying close

BY JACK GOODS
LEADER-TELEGRAM STAFF

Chase Davidson’s chance of a dreamlike return to the
Chippewa Valley seemed dashed a few weeks into the
Chippewa Steel’s first season.

The former Menomonie Mustang was moved back to
the area in the offseason when his previous team, the
Johnstown Tomahawks, traded him to the recently relo-
cated franchise. He appreciated his opportunity to move
away, discover his independence and learn the ropes of
the junior hockey circuit with Johnstown, but said if he
was going to be traded anywhere he was hoping for a
homecoming.

But a week and a half into the season, his time with the
Steel was cut short. Steel general manager and head coach
Al Rooney informed him the team would be moving on.

“After that I didn’t really know what to do,” Davidson
said. “Should I even keep playing?”

Thankfully he did, and after the Steel parted ways with
Rooney in November, Davidson decided to give new interim
head coach Carter Foguth a call.

“I knew they had some defensemen that were hurt and he
had let a couple of guys go,” Davidson said. “I thought it would
be a good opportunity because he originally liked me.”

Unbeknownst to Davidson, Foguth was looking for
someone who fit exactly his description, a veteran defen-
seman, as he worked to change the roster midway through
the year. Foguth was about to call him the same night
Davidson took the plunge.

“We were young on the back end, so I was definitely look-
ing for a guy like Chase who had not only played a lot in the
league previously but just his style of play,” Foguth said. “He
was a bigger, shutdown defenseman that played hard and
was tough to play against. That’s what I was looking for.”

So in December Davidson returned to get his homecom-
ing after all, which concluded April 6 when the Steel closed
their season against the Minnesota Magicians. He returned
refreshed and ready to make one final statement in juniors.

After Davidson was cut, he took a few weeks away from
the game to reassess, which included a bowhunting trip.
Then he found a new home, spending 17 games with the
South Shore Kings of the National Collegiate Development
Conference, a division of the United States Premier Hockey
League made up of teams from the Northeast United
States. While playing out of Foxboro, Mass., Davidson
notched a goal and three assists and tuned up the mental
side of his game.

Marshfield and lost to Marshfield.
The 1975 team went 21-1 and finally made it to the state
tournament, but lost its opener in disappointing fashion to
Janesville Craig, coach by former city star Stan Dufrane.

And his final Abe team in 1976 went 17-1 during the regular
season but wasn’t considered a title threat with its tallest
regular standing 6-2.

But fate was on Bennett’s side this time. Tim Bakken’s 20-
foot bank shot with five seconds to go beat Sussex Hamilton
in the opener and the next night, it was Kirk Etten’s 10-footer
from the baseline with four seconds left that upset towering
Belloit.

The Old Abes were in the finals but looking up, they saw 6-9
Kurt Nymphius, who would go on to a long NBA career, and
unbeaten South Milwaukee looking down at them.

It was the type of situation that Bennett thrived on.
To no one’s surprise, South Milwaukee built its lead to 11 in
the second half. Here come the Abes. Etten’s basket with 6:55
to play actually gave them the lead at 41-40. Nymphius erased
that in a matter of seconds with a 3-point play to make it 43-41.
Memorial had the answer. Bakken’s 22-foot jumper tied it at
43-43 with 5:50 to play and the Abes put the ball on ice. They
had a chance several minutes later but a missed free throw
boomeranged into Nymphius’ winning basket from short range
with 46 seconds to play.
The Abes, who had captured the hearts of the fans with their
David-vs.-Goliath effort, missed a couple shots in the fading
seconds.
They lost – at least on the scoreboard. But the gutsy effort
made them winners elsewhere.
Destined for bigger things, Bennett was off the next season
to UW-Stevens Point to launch his collegiate career that would
eventually take him to the Final Four with Wisconsin’s Badgers.
But that may not have happened if he had taken his father’s
advice.
After the Abes’ crushing sectional loss to Marshfield in 1973,
the locker room was full of tears.
A distraught Bennett wiped his away and said:
“My dad was just in here with two words of advice,” he said.
After seeing the condition his son was in, Dad told Son, “Quit
coaching.”
It was one of the few times he disobeyed his father. And
