The Gibraltar/Washington Island Vikings and the Clintonville Truckers combined for nearly 30 hits on Saturday, but the visitors came away with the 12-9 victory on Washington Island.

The Truckers opened the game with two runs in the first inning, but the Vikings answered with two runs in the second, third, fourth, and fifth innings. The problem for the Vikings was the fourth inning when the Truckers batted around and scored nine runs to put them on their heels. The two teams would trade runs in the sixth, but the Vikings were still short on runs to allow the Truckers to ferry back with the win. Ten Vikings registered hits, including three from Aaron Brey and two from Brady Kita. Jaxin Lindgren, Brey, and Bennett Isaacson-Krueger drove in two runs apiece in the loss. Andy Lederer led the Truckers offensively, going 2-4 with a double and a home run while driving in five. 

Gibraltar/Washington Island's baseball team was just as dangerous with their patience as they were with their bats in their doubleheader sweep of NEW Lutheran on Friday, beating them 14-1(six innings) and 12-0 (five innings).

In game one, the Vikings struck first when Aaron Brey singled home Brady Kita to make it 1-0, only to have the Blazers tie the game up two innings later in the third and Evan Monfrie doubled home a run. The Vikings would bat around in three consecutive innings, scoring three runs in the fourth, four in the fifth, and six in the sixth to put the game away early. Kita reached base all five times, hitting a pair of singles and drawing three walks. Cam Munao and Jaxin Lindgren also collected two hits in the win. The Vikings were just as potent hitting the ball as they were drawing walks in the opener, collecting 11 of each in just six innings. Brey earned the win on the mound, allowing one run (0 ER) and four hits over four innings while striking out seven. Griffin Steffel struck out 10 Vikings in his 4 1/3 innings, but was victimized by three Blazers errors that led to five of his seven runs given up to be unearned.

Game two was similar for the Vikings as they drew five walks while banging out nine hits in four offensive innings. Sam Hillmann and Bennett Isaacson-Krueger were dueling early before the Vikings' offense came alive again. They would bat around in the third and fourth innings, piling up five and seven runs respectively. Kita and Owen Dannhausen had three hits while Brey had two hits. Isaacson-Krueger went the distance for the Vikings, allowing three hits across five innings while striking out seven batters.

POSTGAME INTERVIEW WITH HEAD COACH JAY KITA

The Gibraltar/Washington Island Vikings will start their busy weekend on Friday with a trip to Green Bay to visit NEW Lutheran for a baseball doubleheader.

The Vikings finished off a contest against Sevastopol on Tuesday. The Vikings started out with a 5-0 lead, but they outscored the Pioneers 8-1 the rest of the way. It was the Vikings' third straight win, and Aaron Brey, who had four RBI in the win, again delivered a strong performance. 

The Blazers have struggled to a 1-15 record, failing to win since a 10-0 win over Goodman/Pembine on April 9th. They have scored only one run in five games while giving up at least ten runs in their last six contests.

Tim Kowols and Eric Fischer will have both ends of the doubleheader, beginning with the first pitch at 4 p.m. The pregame show will start at 3:45 p.m. on 105.1 The GOAT and NEWRadioSportsNetwork. Some players will have a road trip in the other direction on Saturday when Gibraltar/Washington Island hosts Clintonville on Washington Island beginning at 11 a.m.

A big inning proved fatal for the Gibraltar/Washington Island softball team once again in Thursday's 11-6 loss to Roncalli in the opening round of the WIAA Tournament.

The Vikings struck first in the opening frame with two runs thanks to RBI singles from Abby Jarosh and Courtney Foy. The lead was short-lived as the Jets plated three in their half of the first inning thanks to four hits. The Jets soared to a big lead in the third inning as they sent 12 to the plate, scoring seven times to stretch a 3-2 lead to a 10-2 advantage. However, the Vikings did not go down easy, as they nearly batted around themselves in the fourth inning. The inning's big blow came when Pam Prescott cleared the bases with a triple, driving in Ashlyn Dejardin, Emma Daubner, and Megan Gallant. Prescott came around to score on an RBI groundout off the bat of Jarosh to cut the deficit to four. The Jets would score their final run on an infield fly rule that garnered some confusion among the Vikings players in the fifth inning.

Prescott led the team with three hits, while Gallant reached three times via the walk. Emile Glocke went the distance for the Vikings, allowing all 11 runs on 15 hits while striking out four.

Despite winning just once in his first season, head coach Brandon Schmidt is encouraged by what he has on his team, with most players available to return next season.

The Gibraltar/Washington Island Vikings would like another matchup against their Packerland foes in Algoma. Still, they will have to get past the Roncalli Jets on Thursday afternoon in the opening round of the WIAA Softball Tournament.

The Vikings enter the matchup on an eight-game losing streak, though they narrowly missed out on snapping that streak on Tuesday in a 7-6 loss to Crivitz. In that game, the Vikings jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first inning, only to find themselves down 6-2 halfway through. They tied up the game at six after consecutive two-run innings before the Wolverines won in walk-off fashion in the seventh. The Vikings registered 10 hits in the loss, including four from Courtney Foy and two apiece from Megan Gallant and Ashlynn Dejardin. Foy also drove in three of the six runs for the Vikings, with Anna Jarosh and Dejardin contributing to the other RBI. 

The Jets were narrowly better at 2-15 on the season and 0-12 in their conference. One of those wins came against the Vikings on April 8th, when Kamryn Schnur doubled, tripled, and knocked in four runs while Gretchen Kapic struck out 11 and allowed just two hits in a 13-0 win in Fish Creek.

Tim Kowols will have the call in Manitowoc on 105.1 The GOAT beginning at 4:15 p.m. with the pregame show followed by the opening pitch at 4:30 p.m.

The Gibraltar/Washington Island Vikings defeated the Sevastopol Pioneers 13-1 on Tuesday in a game suspended in April due to darkness at 5-0.  Aaron Brey led the Viking attack with four RBIs.

Bennett Isaacson-Krueger picked up the win for Gibraltar/Washington Island Vikings. Allowing no runs or hits over three innings while striking out five and walking one.  Brady Kita got the save in the final four innings, allowing just one unearned run. Chase Haberli took the loss for the Pioneers.

Owen Dannhausen, Brey, and Liam Lindenberg each had two hits for the Vikings, who benefited from eight walks in the game.

Gibraltar will now travel to NEW Lutheran for a doubleheader on Friday in a game that will be broadcast on 105.1 The Goat.

Two of Gibraltar's biggest hitters on the track and field scene remained that way at Monday's Packerland Conference Track Championships at Algoma.

McKailey Reisen had a personal record on the high jump and a season best in the 100m hurdles to take those events. She also joined Bella Jones, Hayden Knudson, and Aria Nordahl on the winning 4x100m relay team. On the boys side, Braden Sitte leapt to first place in the high jump and a thrid place finish in the long jump.

Aaron Brey helped Gibraltar/Washington Island sweep the Oconto Blue Devils 7-0 and 5-4 in two different ways on Saturday.

In game one, Brey pitched 6 1/3 innings of scoreless baseball with seven strikeouts, leaving his battery mate Brady Kita to finish the job to clinch the game one victory.  The Vikings scored early and often, jumping out to a 6-0 lead after three innings and adding another tally in the sixth inning for good measure. Kita and Liam Lindenberg each scored two runs in the victory, while Bennett Isaacson-Krueger and Lindenberg posted multi-hit games.

In game two, Brey did it with his bat, registering three hits and two RBI in his four plate appearances. Owen Dannhausen helped the Vikings get off to a good start with an RBI single in the first inning, while Jaxin Lindgren capped off a three-run rally in the third inning with a double. The Blue Devils would tie the game in the fourth inning, scoring three runs with two outs. The Vikings would reclaim the lead in the fifth inning when Brey, Dannhausen, and Cam Munao all singled before Lindenberg drew a bases-loaded walk to bring home what ended up being the game-winning run.

Drama would fill the seventh inning as the Vikings had two men on, desperately trying to extend their one-run advantage. A certain hit by Kita was robbed in right field on a sliding grab by Devon Bostwick to preserve the one-run deficit for the Blue Devils.

After the Blue Devils put the first two men aboard in the bottom of the seventh inning, Kita came out from behind the plate to pitch in the final inning. With two outs and two men on, the rain started to pour down when Isaacson-Krueger secured the sweep with a game-ending catch.

The Gibraltar/Washington Island Vikings will have a short turnaround after losing to Crivitz on the road Friday 7-2.

The  Vikings struck first with a run in the first inning on a run-scoring single by Owen Dannhausen to bring home Brady Kita. The Wolverines would score three times in the second inning and answer a third-inning RBI single by Aaron Brey with two more runs in the bottom of the third inning. The Wolverines would tack on two more insurance runs in the sixth inning to extend their lead. Bennett Isaacson-Krueger, Brey, and Dannhausen all had two hits in the game. The Vikings used four pitchers ahead of Saturday's doubleheader against Oconto, with Brey taking the loss as he gave up three runs (1 ER) and four hits in one inning of work. 

The Blue Devils will enter the game rested with Tuesday's rainout against Gibraltar the only games they had on the schedule. They played against Southern Door last Friday and have matchup against Menominee on tap for Monday.

Tim Kowols will have the call for both ends of the doubleheader beginning at 9:45 a.m. with the pregame show on 105.1 The GOAT with the first pitch coming at 10 a.m.

The NEW Lutheran Blazers' bats caught fire late in game one and carried it through game two as Gibraltar/Washington Island was swept by scores of 13-5 and 16-2 (five innings).

In game one, the Blazers jumped out to a 4-0 lead thanks to four straight players reaching base. The Vikings scratched across one run in the second inning when Addison Richmond reached on an error, allowing Abby Jarosh to scamper around home to score. The Blazers would bat around in the third inning with Sydney Steffel's lead-off triple starting a five-run rally. The Vikings would respond in the top of the fourth inning as they nearly repeated the feat, sending eight to the plate and bringing half of them home. Anna Jarosh and Pam Prescott each singled while Ashlyn DeJardin doubled to help the Vikings get to within four runs. DeJardin's second double of the day in the sixth inning would be the only hit the Vikings would register the rest of the day while the Blazers added runs in the final three innings to give its senior day a memorable start day. Emilie Glocke went the distance for the Vikings, striking out eight but allowing 14 hits.

In game two, it was the Vikings who would strike first thanks to Abby Jarosh reaching on an error that allowed Emilie Glocke to score. The Blazers would score twice in the second and third before blowing the game wide open by batting around in the fourth and fifth innings to end the game early that was already being threatened by darkness and oncoming storms. The biggest blows came off the bat from Lexi Meerstein, who cleared the bases with a home run in the fourth inning and delivered again with a run-scoring double in the fifth inning. The Vikings pushed across their second inning when a collection of Blazers errors turned an Emilie Glocke's attempt at a sacrifice bunt into a run-scoring play that drove in Pam Prescott. The Blazers outhit the Vikings 19-8 across the two  games

The Gibraltar/Washington Island softball team hopes to secure its first multi-win season since 2021 when they play NEW Lutheran on Friday in a doubleheader.

It has been another hard season for the Vikings as they have lost all but three games by 10 runs or more. It's been a challenge head coach Brandon Schmidt has been more than willing to take on in his first season managing the squad. He says changing the culture has been his biggest goal since taking over the program during the offseason. In Schmidt's first season, they have been able to cut down on their errors and quadruple the number of hits the team has accumulated thanks to some minor changes to their approach at the plate. As a result, they snapped an over two-year losing streak on April 30th when they split a doubleheader against Sturgeon Bay. Schmidt pinpointed Pam Prescott, Emilie Glocke, and Courtney Foy for leading the Vikings offensively and the Jarosh sisters for being stalwarts defensively.

The Blazers come into the match-up 5-9 overall and 2-8 in the Packerland Conference. They are marred in an eight-game conference losing streak with a win against Hilbert the lone bright spot since their sweep of Sturgeon Bay on April 13th.

Tim Kowols will have the call from NEW Lutheran on 105.1 The GOAT beginning at 3:45 p.m. with the pregame show followed by the first pitch at 4 p.m. NEW Radio Sports Network will also cover the Vikings' tournament run, which begins at Roncalli on May 16th. If they win, they would face top-seed Algoma on May 21st.

McKailey Reisen reached the podium twice in the rain-shortened Algoma Invitational on Tuesday.

Reisen took third in the 100m hurdles and the high jump before rains canceled the rest of the meet. Mikala Gorham finished in the top eight of the high jump (5th) and the 100m (8th).

See the full results here.

The Gibraltar/Washington Island Vikings and the Oconto Blue Devils hope Mother Nature allows them to play two on the baseball diamond Tuesday afternoon in Fish Creek.

The Vikings played four evenly matched Packerland Conference games last week, splitting a pair with Sturgeon Bay and losing a game to Kewaunee before darkness prevented them from finishing their series with the Storm. In their series against Sturgeon Bay, Bennett Issacsson-Krueger was an on-base machine, getting on board seven of his eight trips to the plate, scoring three times, and driving in a pair. Aaron Brey delivered some clutch hits in Friday's game that forced a tie in the second game. Vikings head coach Jay Kita is happy with how the team has played, but he wants to see more players come around to score.

The Blue Devils earned a split against Southern Door on Friday. They lost game one 13-1 before rebounding in game two 7-3. They sit in second place in the Packerland Conference with an 8-4 record and an overall mark of 11-6.

Weather permitting, Tim Kowols will have the call on 105.1 The GOAT beginning at 3:45 p.m. followed by the first pitch at 4 p.m. 

Gibraltar senior track athletes Braden Sitte and McKailey Reisen piled up a lot of gold over the course of two days on Thursday and Friday at the Klinkner Invitational in Chilton and the Hilbert Invitation.

At Thursday's Klinkner Invitational, the duo finished outside of the top spots on the track but in the field, Reisen and Sitte both won the high jump and the latter tacked on a win in the long jump. Aria Nordahl (800m) also finished in the top 3.

At Friday's Hilbert Invitational. Sitte repeated his performances to win the high jump and long jump to lead the Viking boys. The 4x200m relay also finished in the top 3. For the girls, Reisen won the 100m hurdles and high jump and was a part of the two relays that took second place.

The Packerland Conference golf season continues its season north on Thursday when Gibraltar welcomes teams to Peninsula Golf Course.

Sevastopol, Kewaunee, NEW Lutheran/Providence Academy, Oconto, Peshtigo, Southern Door, and Sturgeon Bay are also participating.

The Sturgeon Bay Clippers' golf team had four golfers on the doorstep of winning the latest Packerland Conference stop at The Orchards in Egg Harbor on Monday. Along with Gibraltar's Finn Salm, Sturgeon Bay golfers Owen Pichette, Calvin Richard, Tre Wienke, and Porter Rabach all shot a 43 to give the Clippers the meet win with 172 strokes. That was 14 strokes better than Southern Door and 19 better than Gibraltar. Kewaunee's Evan Maccaux continued his strong season with another individual win, tying with Oconto's Carter Koch at the top spot with a score of 39. Southern Door's Finley LaVine took third with a score of 40.

Tee time is set for 4 p.m.

It was a tale of two games for Gibraltar/Washington Island and Sturgeon Bay's doubleheader on Tuesday as the Vikings took game one 3-1 and the Clippers grabbed game two 9-6.

The first game was a pitcher's duel between the Vikings' Aaron Brey and the Clippers' Brody Kollath. The Vikings' first hit did not happen until the third inning, but it was a fruitful one as Bennett Isaacson-Krueger drove in Brady Kita to make it 1-0. The Clippers would tie it in the fourth inning on Kollath's RBI sacrifice fly, but the Vikings would take the lead right back in the fifth with two runs thanks to an RBI double by Brey and fly out by Cam Munao. Brey earned the win on the mound, allowing just one run and three hits across six innings with six strikeouts.

In the second game, the Vikings jumped to a 1-0 lead when Kita scampered home on a wild pitch. The Clippers' Garrett Ulberg gave his team the lead in the third when his single drove in Trey Vanderleest and Bryce Plzak. Ulberg repeated the feat the next inning to cap off a five-run rally that was started when Danny Lodl hit a two-run homer to straight away centerfield.

The Vikings would score twice in the top of the fifth on a two-RBI single by Bennett Issacson-Krueger, only to have the Clippers score insurance runs in the fifth and sixth innings. A two-RBI single by Jaxin Lindgren would get the Vikings to within three runs in the seventh, but Ian Fruzyna closed the door with a strikeout to end the threat.

POST GAME INTERVIEW WITH STURGEON BAY HEAD COACH NEAL HENRIGILLIS

The Gibraltar/Washington Island Vikings and Sturgeon Bay Clippers will renew their Door County acquaintances Tuesday afternoon with a doubleheader.

The Vikings made the most of their trip to Peshtigo on Saturday, taking both ends of a doubleheader 9-4 and 9-6. In game one, Jaxin Lindgren drew four walks and drive in two runs with a base hit. Mason Isaacson-Krueger also drove in two runs on a 2-4 day while Brady Kita and Aaron Brey also had multi-hit games. Brey picked the win in relief, allowing three runs (1 ER) and six hits while striking out five along the way. In game two, the Vikings and Bulldogs traded runs back and forth, but insurance runs in the fifth and sixth innings proved to be key. Brey drove in three runs while going 1-3 while Lindgren collected another two RBI. Kita and Lindgren had multi-hit games in the contest. Kita earned the win in game two, throwing 3 1/3 scoreless innings in relief while striking out two. Head coach Jay Kita praised his team for their start to the season despite losing six kids to graduation last year.

The Clippers split their two contests on Saturday, losing to Kohler 16-5 before beating Reedsville 9-5. In game one, the Clippers were down 8-0 before scratching a run across in the third inning. The game ended after five innings as the Bombers scored at least two runs in four of the five frames. Brady Kollath went 2-3 with a RBI to lead the Clippers. In game two, the Clippers scored seven runs in the final two innings to get past the Panthers. Bryce Plzak, Caleb Plzak, Kollath, Danny Lodl, and Patrick Haese all had two hits the game, combining to drive in four runs. Earning the win in relief was Bryce Plzak, who allowed no runs on two hits in three innings of relief. Head coach Neal Henrilgillis said Saturday's triangular was an important palate cleanser for his team that split four straight one-run conference games last week against Algoma and Southern Door.

Tim Kowols will have the call on 105.1 The GOAT beginning at 3:45 p.m. with the pregame show followed by the first pitch of game one at 4 p.m. Game two will occur approximately 15-20 minutes after game one and will also be carried on 105.1 The GOAT.

The Gibraltar Vikings baseball team made the most of their trip to Peshtigo on Saturday, taking both ends of a doubleheader 9-4 and 9-6.

In game one, Jaxin Lindgren drew four walks and drive in two runs with a base hit. Mason Isaacson-Krueger also drove in two runs on a 2-4 day while Brady Kita and Aaron Brey also had multi-hit games. Brey picked the win in relief, allowing three runs (1 ER) and six hits while striking out five along the way.

In game two, the Vikings and Bulldogs traded runs back and forth, but insurance runs in the fifth and sixth innings proved to be key. Brey drove in three runs while going 1-3 while Lindgren collected another two RBI. Kita and Lindgren had multi-hit games in the contest. Kita earned the win in game two, throwing 3 1/3 scoreless innings in relief while striking out two.

The Vikings will play on Tuesday against Sturgeon Bay in a doubleheader. The game will be carried live on 105.1 The GOAT beginning at 4:15 with the pregame show.

Beckett Johnson's big day helped Gibraltar/Washington Island make the most of their long drive to Sheboygan Lutheran in an 8-1 victory.

Johnson went 2-4 with four RBIs on the day thanks to a RBI double in a six-run third inning that cleared the bases and an insurance run scoring single in the top of the seventh inning. Brady Kita and Aaron Brey also had multi-hit games, combining to go 5-8 and each driving in a run.

A combination of Kita, Brey, Bennett Isaacson-Krueger, and Cam Munao kept the Crusaders' offense in check, allowing just one run (1 ER) on five hits while striking out 10.

They have a doubleheader tentatively scheduled for Saturday at Peshtigo.

Emilie Glocke was touched up for eight runs (7 ER) in just one inning of work as the Gibraltar Vikings lost 13-3 in five innings on Thursday.

The Vikings were already down 5-0 when Abby Jarosh took home on a passed ball to get the team on the scoreboard. Their fortunes would not improve as the Crusaders put up another five spot in the second inning to put the Vikings on the ropes. The Vikings would extend the game when Pam Prescott hit a RBI triple and later took home during Courtney Foy's at-bat, but two runs in the bottom of the third and another one in the fifth ended the game in the Crusaders' favor.

Foy and Celeste Ashley also had hits for the Vikings in the loss.

The Gibraltar Vikings track teams posted plenty of top-three performances, but only two leaped to the top of the podium at Monday's Door County Classic.

Braden Sitte won the event with a personal best high jump of six feet. He also finished runner-up in the 100m, 200m, and long jump.

McKailey Reisen raced to a win in the 100m hurdles and leaped to the top spot in the high jump.

The Gibraltar/Washington Island Vikings baseball team responded to a 4-1 loss in game one to the Southern Door Eagles with a 10-8 win in the second contest.

In game one, the Eagles' Will Jandrin kept the Vikings under wraps in his complete game. He allowed one run on six hits while striking out two. Jaxin Lindgren drove in that run in the second inning, but the Vikings' offense could not muster much else. Tyler Neinas led the Eagles' offensively, going 1-3 and driving in two runs in the win. Nick Beck, Braylon Berg, and Gage Geisel all had multi-hit games for the Eagles.

In game two, the Vikings went back and forth with the Eagles, exchanging runs in each of the first four innings. A four-run fifth inning for the Vikings had no answers from the Eagles, giving them a lead they would not relinquish. Both teams struggled in the field during the second game, combining for eight errors including five for the Eagles. Bennett Isaacson-Krueger went 2-4 with two RBi for the Vikings with Aaron Brey, Cameron Munao, Lindgren, and Beckett Johnson also driving in runs. Jandrin continued his success on the day in the second game, going 3-4 with three RBI. Isaac Baudhuin, Beck, and Geisel also drove in runs for the Eagles.

The Gibraltar/Washington Island Vikings beat the Coleman Cougars 8-1 on Friday, beating them for the first time since 2014.

The Vikings scored their first run in the opening inning and returned the next frame. They put the game away in the fourth inning, taking advantage of two errors to go along with their five singles to plate four runs in the frame. The Cougars mustered only run as an answer to the Vikings' big blow.

Brady Kita led the way with two RBI and three hits in four at-bats. He also stole four bases in the game. Bennett Issacson-Krueger, Aaron Brey, Jaxin Lindgren all had two hits while Liam Lindenberg and Cam Munao knocked in runs along with Issacson, and Brey. With a conference doubleheader against Southern Door on deck for Saturday, the Vikings used six pitchers in the win. Aaron Brey got the 'W,' but it was Liam Lindenberg that led the way with two innings of one-hit ball while striking out five. 

The doubleheader begins at 11 a.m. in Fish Creek.

The Gibraltar softball jumped out to a 2-0 lead, but gave up at least three runs in each inning after that to lose to Coleman 19-4 in four innings on Friday.

The Vikings scored their two runs by taking advantage of three straight errors followed by a fielder's choice by Anna Jarosh and a ground-out by Addison Richmond. The Cougars would go on to abuse the Vikings' parade of pitchers, doing the most damage against Pam Prescott (1/3 innings, three hits, six runs, five earned) and Emilie Glocke (2/3 innings, two hits, four runs, four earned). The Vikings would score single runs in the third and fourth innings, only to be greeted by six more from the Cougars. Prescott, the Jarosh sisters, and Courtney Foy each collected hits in the Vikings' loss.  The Cougars had five players drive in at least two runs, led by Alyssa Hoida's four RBI.

The Vikings are back in action at home on Saturday when they host Southern  Door for a doubleheader at 11 a.m.

On Tuesday, the Gibraltar girl's track team sprinted through tough conditions in Algoma for a second-place finish.

Hayden Knudson (200m and 400m), Aria Nordahl (1600m), and Mikala Gorham (long jump) posted wins for the Vikings, along with four runner-up performances.

The boys saw the 4x200m relay team of Sean Neal, Will Lecy, Giovanni Mercier, and Braden Sitte win, along with four other top-two finishes.
