The Gibraltar boys’ basketball team will host the Sturgeon Bay Clippers on Tuesday.

 

The Clippers are coming off a 61-55 loss to Valders.

 

The Vikings also look to bounce back after an 85-33 loss to No. 1-ranked Kewaunee.

 

Tipoff is set for 7 p.m.

 

Students at Gibraltar Secondary School have organized Kat’s Full Court Fight Against Lymphoma, an event supporting 2018 Gibraltar graduate and current Northern Sky Theater volunteer coordinator Kathleen Jackson.

 

Jackson launched a GoFundMe page more than a year ago after being diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma, a type of cancer that attacks the body’s lymph nodes.

 

Gibraltar seniors Giovanni Mercier, Josie Martin and Celeste Ashley have taken on the task of organizing the event, which will take place during the school’s boys basketball game against Sturgeon Bay on Feb. 17.

 

 

The trio has attended similar events in the past, including efforts to support the families of former Gibraltar student Braden Sitte. They say it has been a learning experience, but also a gratifying one.

 

 

The evening begins at 5 p.m. before the JV game and will include silent auctions, raffle baskets, a bake sale and concessions from area businesses.
