Two Door County rivals will meet for the first time this season in girls basketball on Tuesday when Gibraltar travels south to face Sevastopol.

 

Both teams started their weekend on a sour note with non-conference losses. In their 73-60 loss to Manitowoc Lutheran, the Pioneers' Kayla Ranly did her part to keep the Pioneers in the game, drilling two three-pointers in the first half and three more after the break to lead the Pioneers with 22 points. Naomi Rikkola made up for a relatively quiet first half to score 14 of her 20 in the second half.  The Vikings did not fair any better, losing to 61-29 to Wabeno-Laona. Celeste Jauregui scored the first and only basket from the field with 6:46 remaining in the first half. Josie Martin and Anna Jarosh did the rest of the work from the free-throw line as the Rebels built a 36-6 lead at halftime. The two teams played closer in the second half, with the Rebels outscoring the Vikings 25-23 after the break. 

 

Tim Kowols and Jacob Nate will have the call from the Institute on Tuesday, beginning with the pregame show at 6:15 p.m., followed by the tip at 6:30 p.m.
