The Gibraltar Vikings play their first road game of the Packerland Conference season on Friday night when they travel to Green Bay to face NEW Lutheran.
The Vikings faced a tough test to open Packerland play, losing to Kewaunee 63-39 at home earlier this week. Mikala Gorham's 18 points matched Kewaunee's top player in Jade Kroll, but the rest of the team mustered 21 additional points in the loss. Head coach Evan DeBroux focused on the positives at the start of the season, where they narrowly lost to Gillett in the opener and beat Hilbert a few days later for their first pre-New Year's Day win since the 2020-2021 season.
The Blazers have a new look to them after Ebony Sinclair transferred to West De Pere in the offseason, but Ingrid Beaumont and Lexi Meerstein still provide challenges to the Vikings' defense. The pair is averaging double figures (15. 7 ppg and 10.7 ppg) after losses to Algoma, Kohler, and Crivitz to start the season.
Tim Kowols and Matt Malvitz have the call on 105.1 The GOAT and NEWRadioSportsNetwork.com beginning at 6:15 p.m. with the pregame show followed by the tipoff at 6:30 p.m.
