The Gibraltar/Sevastopol soccer team stays in Fish Creek on Thursday for a Packerland Conference tilt against Peshtigo.

The United built up a 3-0 lead at the end of one half before playing level with the visiting Ashwaubenon Jaguars to win the match 5-2. That improved the team's record to 3-2 as they sit on top of the Packerland Conference table with a 1-0 mark, tied for the lead with Sturgeon Bay and NEW Lutheran.

The Bulldogs are 0-3 on the year with its 2-1 loss to NEW Lutheran keeping them at the bottom of the Packerland Conference. They failed to score in their two other outings so far this year.

The first kick is set for 6:30 p.m.

The Gibraltar Vikings hit the road for their first away cross-country meet of the season on Thursday.

The Gibraltar Vikings will travel around the bay on Thursday night for their first road game of the season against Suring.

Four total touchdowns by Braden Sitte sent the Vikings to the 27-14 victory over the visiting Montello Hilltoppers last Saturday. Three of those touchdowns came from the arm of Brady Kita, who threw for 156 yards on 17 completions. Sitte was responsible for most of that success, grabbing 11 balls for 123 yards with Will Lecy and Giovanni Mercier also catching passes. On defense, Marshall Maltby led the way with 13 tackles while combining with Mercier to force three fumbles.

The Eagles fell to its rival Gillett 46-12 in their first game of the season last Friday. The Eagles gave up over 520 yards on the evening while Seth Scrivens scored one of their two touchdowns when the game was well out of reach.

After a weekend tournament, the Gibraltar/Sevastopol soccer team finds themselves back in Fish Creek for a home fixture against Ashwaubenon.

The United squad faced the likes of West Bend West, Winneconne, and Kohler in Winneconne in looks of fixing the mistakes made in their 5-0 loss to Algoma on Thursday. No results from those matches were shared.

The Jaguars are 0-3-1 on the season so far and like the United have struggled to keep the ball out of their own net. Outside of their draw against Shawano, the Jaguars have given up at least eight goals in each of their matches.

The first touch is set for 6:30 p.m.

Braden Sitte's big day on both sides of the ball helped the Gibraltar Vikings football team earn a 27-14 victory over Montello Saturday afternoon,

The Vikings opened the game with a scoring drive that concluded with Brady Kita finding Sitte from inside 10 yards out to make it 7-0. The two teams traded miscues that saw the Vikings recover two fumbles thanks to the efforts of Marshall Maltby, Wyatt Bultman, and Giovanni Mercier. The offense could not turn those opportunities into points, ending the first half with a missed field goal and a 7-0 lead.

Kita would find Sitte halfway through the third quarter from inside the five yard line to make it 14-0. Gibraltar would start the fourth quarter by fumbling the ball into the hands of Montello's Ayden Drew, but the Vikings would get the ball right back in a big way. Noah Boelter's pass on the ensuing drive fell right into the hands of Sitte, who took it 60-plus yards to the end zone to make it 21-0 early in the fourth quarter. Kita would find Sitte one last time in the fourth quarter on a 10 yard pass to cap off the scoring for the Vikings.

The Hilltoppers would score their first touchdowns as a standalone team in eight years to cap off the contest thanks to the feet of running back Seth Mehling. He scored his first touchdown on a 24-yard screen pass from Boelter to make it 27-6. Mehling would then escape a bottleneck by the far sideline to find the endzone on an 85-yard touchdown rush. 

The Vikings are back in action on Thursday when they face Suring.

The Gibraltar Vikings hope the extra day was worth the wait when they welcome Montello to Fish Creek Saturday afternoon.

The Vikings hope to repeat as the Peninsula Conference champions after an 8-1 campaign ended at home last year against Lena/STAA as they limped into the offseason with several of their key players out with injuries. They will also have to do so with almost an entirely new line-up after 11 seniors graduated last year. With Brady Kita and Braden Sitte anchoring the offense, head coach Mike Peck still has high hopes for the 2023 season despite just having over a dozen players on the roster.

Montello will play their first season of eight-player football after combining with Green Lake/Princeton the last few years for 11-player football. All three schools involved in the former co-op team asked to go their separate ways to form their own teams after struggling a competitive team at the 11-player level.

Tim Kowols will have the call from Fish Creek beginning at 3:45 p.m. with the pregame show followed by the opening kick at 4 p.m. The game will air on 105.1 The GOAT and stream on NEWRadioSportsNetwork.com.

The Gibraltar/Sevastopol soccer team begins their road to Milwaukee with a road trip to Kiel Tuesday afternoon.

The United squad 6-11-2, struggling outside of the Packerland Conference where they went 6-3-1 for a second-place finish. The team fell in their regional matchup to Winnebago Lutheran 2-0. The United graduated three All-Packerland selections including Player of the Year Theo Goode, but they will welcome back Second-Team selection Gabriel Peterson for his junior season.

The Raiders finished 14-3-1 in 2022 with a perfect 4-0 mark in the Eastern Wisconsin Conference. They were a penalty shootout defeat to Sturgeon Bay away from an appearance in the sectional final. The team graduated six players, but they will still have unanimous first-team defender Koen Sitzman and second-team midfielder Aidan Murphy on the squad.

Kickoff is set for 4:30 p.m.

If you wanted a crack at the Chief Kahquados Invitational course this month, you might have a chance to do so without being a high school student.

Gibraltar Area Schools announced last week that it would host its first 2.1M Open for community members and alumni at 1 p.m. ahead of its traditional cross-country race. The race sends runners onto the course which crosses into Peninsula State Park. Registration begins at 12:15 p.m. and it is limited to the first 100 participants.
