The Gibraltar boys basketball team will bid adieu to the regular season on Saturday when they play a matinee against Wabeno-Laona.

The Vikings enter the matchup trying to snap a four-game losing streak heading to the matchup, a stretch that has included its two contests with top-ranked Kewaunee. In their 81-40 loss to Kewaunee on Thursday, Kayin Jackson was the lone Viking to reach double figures with 12 points while Aaron Brey and Charlie Reinhardt each chipped in eight points. Saturday's game is likely the last at home for seniors Jackson, Brey, Mauricio Fernandez, Owen Dannhausen, Marco and Fernando Jauregui, and Leo Canudas Castro.

The Rebels are 18-5 on the season and winners of three of their last five. Canton Chrisman (18.6 ppg), Cooper Albrecht (16.2 ppg), and Walker Winkelman (13.5 ppg) all score in double-figures for the Rebels with Albrecht also among the team leaders in rebounds (6.4 rpg) and assists (3.6 apg).

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.

Before raising more than $17,000 on Monday to support Tanck, a matchup between Sevastopol and Sturgeon Bay raised more than $12,000 for the Butch and Ramirez families and collected another $2,900 for DoorCancer, a local organization that helps fund families on their own cancer journeys.

Two separate offensive droughts sent the Gibraltar Vikings boys basketball team to a 72-45 loss to Peshtigo on Friday night.

Dominik Baxter clearly remembered being limited to just five points in the teams’ last meeting, combining with Levi Hodgins for the Bulldogs’ first 16 points. The Vikings held their own early thanks to 3-pointers from Marco Jauregui, Kayin Jackson and Aaron Brey. The Bulldogs blew the game open late in the first half with a 15-0 run led by Baxter that put them ahead 40-26 at the break.

Despite some early buckets from the Bulldogs, the Vikings were able to threaten early in the second half, forcing a timeout when they trimmed the lead to nine points with just over 14 minutes left. Peshtigo would not allow another Vikings field goal the rest of the game, as the free-throw line provided a safe haven for the Bulldogs’ offense. The drought allowed the Bulldogs to extend the lead to nearly 30 points late, prompting both teams to empty their benches.

Baxter led all scorers with 28 points, 22 of which came in the first half. Hodgins added 17 points, while seven other Bulldogs scored at least two points. Brey paced the Vikings with 14 points, Jauregui added 10 and Wyatt Bultman chipped in nine.
