In this Dec. 22, 2023 file photo, Rhinelander’s Vivian Lamers drives past Merrill’s Brenna Jirovec for a layup during a non-conference girls’ basketball game at the Jim Miazga Community Gymnasium. Merrill will become a conference opponent for Rhinelander beginning in the fall of 2025 after the WIAA Board of Control last week approved Merrill’s request to move into the Great Northern Conference.
