It is a new season for the Gibraltar boys basketball team as they travel to Sheboygan Christian to open the WIAA Division 5 Tournament on Tuesday.

 

Led by Kayin Jackson (14.2 ppg) and Liam Lindenberg (10.5 ppg), the Vikings ended the season with a 4-19 mark, including 2-14 in the Packerland Conference. The team has lost nine of its last 11 games, both of which coming against non-conference D5 teams. Last year's 60-48 loss to Florence was the first time the Vikings lost an opening-round game in the tournament since a 75-58 loss to Random Lake during the 2017-2018 season.
