The Kewaunee Storm prevailed 62-55 in a Packerland Conference boys basketball battle Saturday afternoon at Fulwiler Fieldhouse.

Algoma came out on fire taking an 8-4 lead in the opening minutes, only to see Kewaunee go on an 8-0 run to capture a 12-8 lead they would not relinquish.

Building a 31-23 lead into halftime, the Storm took advantage of second and third chances on the offensive boards.

The second half saw Algoma narrow the lead to 36-33, but that would be as close as they would get as Kewaunee extended their lead to as much as 13 points. 

Thomas Stangel had a game-high 19 points for the Storm, with Avery Jerabek adding 16, and Connor Kilgore tallying 13 while controlling the boards. 

Algoma was paced by Parker Lischka’s 18 points and Jack Cole hit four three-pointers for his 12 points.

The Wolves (4-4, 8-5 overall) will now host NEW Lutheran on Tuesday, while the Storm (7-1, 9-4 overall) travel to Fish Creek for a matchup with Gibraltar.
