Tepe will forgo his senior season with the Green Bay Gryphons to complete the move. He helped lead the Gryphons to a state title game appearance last season. Based in Foxboro, Massachusetts, the South Shore Kings is led by by Head Coach Tyler Sullivan and Assistant Coach Mike Esposito and provides a structured, competitive environment designed to prepare players for the next level of hockey. The program has produced over 30 pro players in its history, including Noah Hanifin of the Stanley Cup runner-up Vegas Golden Knights.  

For the third consecutive season, the Gibraltar/Washington Island baseball team saw its season come to a close in the sectional semifinal, this time in a 7-4 defeat to top-seeded Rib Lake. 

The Redmen took an early 2-0 lead in the third inning when they scored on a sacrifice fly and a balk. The Vikings retaliated with one in the fourth and took the lead in the fifth inning when Cam Munao and Hobbs Emerson each singled in runs. The Redmen had their response in each of the next two innings, scoring three times in the fifth inning and two more times in the sixth to build up a 7-3 lead. The Vikings scratched across one run in the seventh on a fielder's choice hit into by Charlie Reinhardt and had the game-tying run at the plate before the game ended in a groundout. 

Luke Rericha ended his Vikings career on a high note, going 3-4 with a double. Mason Grooms went 2-3 with an RBI while Munao, Emerson and Reinhardt also posted RBI.

The Vikings say goodbye to Cam Munao, Aaron Brey, Owen Dannhausen, Luke Rericha, Kuper Tesnow, and David Olson due to graduation as the team finished with a 20-7 mark.

The Gibraltar/Washington Island baseball team hopes the third time is the charm on Tuesday morning in Rosholt when they play Rib Lake in the WIAA Sectional Semifinal.

The Vikings enter the game 20-6 on the season and riding a 12-game winning streak into Rosholt. In their 10-4 regional final win over Florence, Aaron Brey led all batters with three hits and two RBI in four at-bats, including a two-run home run. Luke Rericha added two hits while  Charlie Reinhardt (2), Cam Munao, Owen Dannhausen, Emerson, Mason Grooms, and Mason Isaacson-Krueger recorded RBI. Hobbs Emerson earned the win on the mound, going 5.2 innings allowing three runs (1 ER) on four hits while striking out six. Brey is the likely starter in game one after going six shutout innings with 12 strikeouts in a 10-0 win against Prentice.

While the Vikings' perennial stumbling block in Pacelli was elevated to Division 3 this season, Rib Lake poses to be an equally formidable opponent in the sectional semifinal. The Redmen are 19-5-1 and have won nine in a row dating back to early May. Blake Henderson leads the team in batting average (.441) while Ethan Cook has a team-high 28 RBI thanks to 10 extra base hits including eight doubles. The Redmen have two good pitchers to choose from with Seth Borchardt (1.39 ERA) and Slade Scheithauer (1.88 ERA) both with an earned run average under 2.00.

The Vikings and the Redmen will duel at Rosholt Village Park at 10 a.m. with coverage on 105.1 The GOAT with Tim Kowols beginning at 9:45 a.m.

The Gibraltar Vikings had 10 of its athletes named to the All-Packerland Conference teams for baseball, softball, and soccer earlier this week.

For baseball, Owen Dannhausen (First Team Infielder), Cam Munao (First Team Outfielder), Aaron Brey (First Team Utility/DP), and Luke Rericha (Honorable Mention Catcher) were named to the squad. Softball was represented by Gabi Solomon (Honorable Mention Infielder), Mia Glocke (Honorable Mention Utility/DP) and Olivia Pelkey (Honorable Mention Outfielder).

For soccer, All-Packerland selections included Olive Wisnieski (First Team Midfielder), Caitlyn Fellner (Honorable Mention Forward), and Tess Spude (Honorable Mention Defender).

Not all freshman have the impact Gibraltar's Azucena Jauregui has had on her teams this year, but then again, not all freshmen are like Azucena Jauregui.

After earning a spot on the Vikings' varsity volleyball team and earning All-Packerland Conference honors during the basketball season despite battling injuries, Jauregui earned her spot at the WIAA State Track and Field Meet in LaCrosse this weekend in the 300M hurdles with a time of 48.88. That is one second faster than she ran earlier in the week in the WIAA Regional and approximately five seconds faster than her first try at the event in April at Algoma. The combination of going the distance at that speed with hurdles in between has been tough for Jauregui, especially the final 100 meters.

Jauregui not only was All-Conference for basketball, she was also All-Packerland for the 300m high hurdles (Honorable Mention), 4x200m relay (1st Team) and the 4x100m relay (Honorable Mention). She is grateful for the success after putting in a lot of hard work the entire school year.

Jauregui, along with other athletes from across Door and Kewaunee counties, will make their way over to LaCrosse Thursday for the start of the WIAA State Track and Field Meet on Friday with most events for Division 2 and 3 beginning at 3:30 p.m.

Gibraltar is hosting a send-off event for Jauregui at the school beginning at 10 a.m. while Southern Door will do the same for theirs at 10:45 a.m.

For the second straight day, Gibraltar/Washington Island came out swinging and garnered a lead they would not give up, winning their third straight regional title with a 10-4 victory over Florence Wednesday evening.

After Hobbs Emerson survived a laborious first inning unscathed, The Vikings plated three runs in the first inning with Owen Dannhausen's single, a wild pitch, and a ground out driving in the runs. The Vikings tacked on four more in the second inning with Cam Munao's RBI double and an Aaron Brey two-run home run providing the fireworks.

Logan Mccoy calmed things down for the Bobcats as he held the Vikings scoreless over the following three-plus innings. It allowed the Bobcats crawl back into it with one run in the third inning and two more in the sixth to make it 7-3. The Vikings got those runs back in their half of the sixth inning courtesy of two base-loaded hit-by-pitches and an RBI single by Charlie Reinhardt. The Bobcats scratched across one more run in the top of the seventh inning, but pitcher Miles Richmond induced the pop out that clinched the regional title for the Vikings.

Brey led all batters with three hits and two RBI in four at-bats. Rericha added two hits while Reinhardt (2), Munao, Dannhausen, Emerson, Mason Grooms, and Mason Isaacson-Krueger recorded RBI. Emerson earned the win on the mound, going 5.2 innings allowing three runs (1 ER) on four hits while striking out six. 

The Vikings will be back in action on 105.1 The GOAT at 10 a.m. next Tuesday when they battle top-seeded Rib Lake at 10 a.m. in Rosholt. If the Vikings advance, they would play for the sectional championship at 4 p.m.

A 10-0 win over Prentice on Tuesday set up a chance at a third straight regional title for Gibraltar/Washington Island when they host Florence on Wednesday.

The Vikings jumped on Buccaneers starter Ryder Jones immediately, registering five straight hits to start the first inning, including doubles from Aaron Brey and Hobbs Emerson, to stake them to a 5-0 lead.

As Ryder settled, Brey never gave in, striking out two batters in every inning and a pair of singles his lone blemishes through four innings. The Vikings staged another rally in the fourth inning with Cam Munao and Brey hitting back-to-back RBI doubles as they put up another four runs to make 9-0 entering the fifth inning.

A triple by Hardy Hueckman put the shutout in peril in the sixth inning, but Brey was able to retire the next two men to preserve his pitching line of no runs on three hits with 12 strikeouts. The Vikings would record two singles to start the bottom of the sixth inning before the Buccaneers intentionally walked Emerson to get to Wyatt Bultman, who ended the game on an RBI single.

Munao finished the day 4-4 with one RBI to lead the Vikings at the plate. Owen Dannhausen and Luke Rericha each recorded three hits while Brey went 2-4 with two RBI. Seven of the nine starters recorded at least one hit and six posted at least one RBI in the win.

The Vikings will now host Florence on Wednesday after they beat Lena 12-2 in six innings. A game mired with nine errors, the Bobcats turned a 2-1 deficit in the bottom of the fifth into a 7-2 lead heading into the sixth inning before reaching the mercy rule with five runs in the bottom of the sixth inning. Logan McCoy and Bradley Steber each had one hit and two RBI in the Bobcats win.

Tim Kowols will have the call of the regional final on 105.1 The GOAT beginning at 4:15 p.m. with the pregame show followed by the first pitch at 4:30 p.m. The winner of the game advances to next Tuesday's sectional in Rosholt

Hobbs Emerson also drove in four runs on three hits while Owen Dannhausen also clubbed three hits.
