The Kewaunee Storm will hit the road, but keep things within the Packerland Conference when they play at Oconto Friday night in its regional semifinal game.

 

The #5 Storm cruised to a 78-50 home win over the #12 Sevastopol Pioneers on Tuesday as they frustrated the Pioneers' offense defensively, forcing them into numerous turnovers all evening long. Using an inside-out offense, the Storm kept Sevastopol's defense off-balanced most of the night. The Storm was led by Avery Jerabek, who scored 24 points, 14 of which came in the second half. Dane Harrell, who had a huge game on the boards and defensively, added 15 points, while Cooper Kolmorgen chipped in 10 points off the bench for Kewaunee.
