They beat Sturgeon Bay and narrowly lost to Algoma in the final conference game of the season before their legs caught up to them in their matchup against Coleman on Saturday. Andie Schar has seen her scoring output increase to over 10 points a game while players like Mikayla Gorham have proven to put up big numbers herself when needed.

The Bobcats went 15-7 on the year, but lost their final three conference games of the season before beating Niagara in their season finale. All eyes will be on Isabella Millan who is averaging 23 points, 10 rebounds, and four assists a game to lead the Bobcats in all categories.

It was an emotional evening in Fish Creek on Monday as the Gibraltar boys' basketball team avenged an earlier season loss to Sturgeon Bay 71-45.

The Gibraltar and Sturgeon Bay basketball communities took time to honor the life of Jim Benesh, the former Clippers basketball and softball coach who passed away over the weekend after his battle with cancer. Benesh, who was a friend of Gibraltar basketball coach Justin Burress and Gibraltar baseball coach Jay Kita, had coached the Clippers since he took the reins in 1995 and was honored in the two teams' previous meeting after he learned he would be inducted into the WBCA Hall of Fame.

It was also Gibraltar's senior night as players like Sam Lindenberg played their last regular-season game at home. He made it a night to remember in the opening minutes of the game with the Vikings up 4-0 early:

The Vikings would extend that lead to 12 points heading into the break and never look back. Lindenberg scored a game-high 18 points while 13 different Vikings players scored at least one point in the game. Preston Newton led the way for the Clippers as he hit four three-pointers en route to a 15 point night.

The Vikings will conclude their regular season on Thursday in Algoma. That game can be heard on 105.1 The GOAT and NEWRadioSportsNetwork.com

Gibraltar's Sam Lindenberg could join some elite company on Monday night when they host Sturgeon Bay on Monday night.

After scoring 24 points in the Vikings' loss to Southern Door on Friday night, Lindenberg is just three points away from registering 1,000 points in his career. The Vikings saw a six-game winning streak end on Friday, but it was enough to help them secure #4 seed in the WIAA Division 5 playoffs which gives them a home game against Suring next Tuesday.

The Clippers are going through the imaginable after learning Saturday that their longtime head coach Jim Benesh passed away from cancer. They have also lost four of their last five games despite strong performances from Isaak Aune (14.3 ppg) and Preston Newton (11.5 ppg) in recent games. 

The game will be broadcast on 105.1 The GOAT and NEWRadioSportsNetwork.com beginning at 7 p.m. with the pregame and senior night festivities and 7:30 p.m. with the tip off.

The Wolves kicked off the half with a 6-0 run to start the half and would later turn it into a lead as big as 11 as they were able to get Emily Kirchman going with layups and Halle Panger and Ryley Zimmerman with some outside shots.

The Wolves beat Sturgeon Bay in convincing fashion themselves last Friday, holding the Clippers to just two first half points en route to a 58-20 victory. Halle Panger led the Wolves in scoring with 11 points, but all 13 players on their roster scored at least one point in the victory.

It was Sierra Slaby's 15 points that led the Wolves to a 48-27 win over the Vikings on January 15th. Andie Schar led the Vikings with 14 points in the defeat.

There would be no let-up this time around as the Gibraltar boys' basketball team took down the NEW Lutheran 79-60 in Green Bay Friday night.

Almost a month-and-a-half after seeing a 10 point halftime lead against the Blazers turn into a 62-60 defeat, the Vikings saw the opportunity present itself once again. The Vikings got there by going on a 13-5 run coming out of a Blazers timeout to give themselves a 10-point cushion they would not get up. The Vikings would extend the lead to as much as 22 points before the Blazers were able to take advantage of the bonus to trim the lead to as small as 15 before Will Friedenfels and Sam Lindenberg knocked down their free throws.

Key to the win was the defensive pressure the Vikings placed on the Blazers' top player. Averaging more than 20 points per game entering the game, Bela Salm and others limited Tristian Lynch to just four points, all of which came from the free-throw line. The  Blazers had to rely on Elijah Meerstein (14 points), Jack Henschel, and Lucas Dhein (12 each) to fill in his absence. Lindenberg led Gibraltar with 21 points and Jake Schar added 18 of his own. Friedenfels scored 13 points, who along with Trevor Ash had two dunks in the game.
