In this Sept. 15, the Gene Shepard Bell Trophy is pictured on the sidelines during last’ year’s Bell Game. The Bell’s legs and handle were painted green back then, but has since taken on a less-attractive hue of maroon after Antigo’s 26-14 win over the Hodags last year. (Bob Mainhardt for the River News)
