The Gibraltar Vikings could not keep up with the Laona-Wabeno Rebels Tuesday night on the road, falling 74-45.

The Rebels jumped out to a 40-26 lead in the first half and outscored the Vikings 34-19 in the second stanza.

Kayin Jackson paced the Vikings with 18 points and Fernando Jauregui added ten more, but it was not enough to overcome the Rebel attack.  Braden Kita chipped in eight points as well.

Gibraltar (1-5) will now play at Peshtigo on Thursday, taking on the Bulldogs in Packerland Conference action.

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.

An eight-minute scoring drought spelled trouble for the Gibraltar Vikings boys basketball team as they lost to the Oconto Blue Devils in Fish Creek Friday night.

The Vikings traded blows with the Blue Devils early with Luke Rericha countering Carter Koch with three-pointers. The offense would disappear three minutes into the game and not return until Rericha bookended the drought with one of his four three-pointers. Meanwhile, the trio of Koch, Cooper Campshure, and Trenton Hartman sparked a 12-0 put the Vikings into a hole they would not be able to dig out of as they entered the locker room down 31-16.

The Vikings would have to weather another storm at the beginning of the second half as the Blue Devils scored 10 of the first 14 points, keep their lead at 20-plus points for the majority of the half. As Rericha cooled off, Marco Jauregui heated up from behind the arc in his place.

Rericha ended his night as the lone Vikings player in double figures with 14 points. Jauregui added nine points, and Braden Kita chipped in seven points. The Blue Devils' Koch led all scorers with 23 points, while Campshure contributed 14 points, and Hartman added seven. Eleven players scored at least two points for the Blue Devils.

The Vikings head out onto the road on Tuesday as they travel to face Wabeno-Laona.

The Gibraltar girls basketball team kept things close in the first half, but made only three shots from the field in the second half of a 57-39 loss to Peshtigo Thursday night.

Mikala Gorham spent much of her night scoring from the free throw line, drilling six of her eight attempts en route to a team-high 11 points. Anna Jarosh and Megan Schar each hit three shots from the field as they tried their best to keep up with the fire power of Audra Bauman and Skylyn Baxter. The Bulldogs held a 32-28 lead at the break and outscored the Vikings 25-11 in the second half to seal the victory. Baxter had a game high 17 points while Bauman added another 15 points. In addition to Gorham's efforts, Schar scored a team-high 12 points while Jarosh's night ended with seven.

The Vikings fought tooth and nail to get their first win on Tuesday night, beating NEW Lutheran 69-67 in overtime.

The game was in doubt until Kayin Jackson converted on a contested layup with 0.9 seconds to end his night with 16 points and the team's 0-3 start.

The Blue Devils are 2-2 on the season after losing their last game to Algoma 61-54. Carter Koch remains an offensive force for the Blue Devils, averaging a double-double on the season with 21 points and 11 rebounds to go with his six assists a game.

Kayin Jackson's contested lay-up with 0.9 seconds remaining proved to be the difference as the Gibraltar boys basketball team squeaked past NEW Lutheran Tuesday night 69-67 in overtime.

Early turnovers plagued both teams' offensive momentum before the Vikings' Luke Rericha and the Blazers' Grayson Herlache were able to get their respective teams on track. Rericha hit three three-pointers in the first half to help the Vikings take a 31-27 lead into the locker room.

The teams' leading scorers got on track in the second half as the Vikings' Kayin Jackson and Braden Kita were countered by the Blazers' Reid Nelson and Hayden Schultz. The Vikings would build a lead of up to 10 points before the Blazers could tie the game late. A Jackson lay-up gave the Vikings a three-point lead before Herlache delivered a game-tying three-pointer that forced the extra period.

Marco Jauregui helped keep the Vikings ahead in overtime, but Jackson's lay-up ultimately delivered the Vikings their first win of the season.

The Gibraltar Vikings boys basketball team looks for its first win of the season in Green Bay Tuesday night when they face NEW Lutheran.

The Vikings have stumbled out of the gates with a 0-3 start.

Jackson has been a bright spot offensively in the two previous games as he still holds a scoring average of 19 points a game.
