Kewaunee Storm girls lose a heartbreaker to Spartans

The Kewaunee Storm girls rallied from an eight point deficit in the second half but ultimately fell to the Luxemburg-Casco Spartans 38-37 Monday night in a non-conference basketball game in Kewaunee.  Two free throws by Magdeline Hanmann with 4.4 second left gave the Spartans the win after a three-pointer by Kewaunee’s Gabrielle Stangel rimmed out at the buzzer.

The Spartans held the lead throughout the first half, leading by as many as six points, before going into halftime ahead 14-11.  Both team’s defenses caused numerous turnovers and cold shooting for most of the night.

Luxemburg-Casco would go up by as many as eight points, 31-23, in the second half before the Storm came rolling back to take a 37-36 lead on a Brianna Demmin jumper with about two minutes to play.

The Spartans called their last timeout with 11 seconds left and that’s when Hanmann drove to the hoop and was fouled with just over four seconds to play.  Stangel’s running three-pointer from the top of the key  just missed and L-C came away with the hard fought victory.

Storm girls look to rebound vs. Kiel

A short memory will be needed for the Kewaunee girls' basketball team ahead of their matchup against Kiel Tuesday night.  

 

The Luxemburg-Casco Lady Spartans hung on to beat the Kewaunee Storm 38-37 Monday night in a non-conference basketball game in Kewaunee.  Two free throws by Magdeline Hanmann with 4.4 second left gave the Spartans the win after a three-pointer by Kewaunee’s Gabrielle Stangel rimmed out at the buzzer. Summer Walechka paced the Storm (1-4) with 13 points.

 

 

The Raiders enter the game 2-3 on the season, alternating their losses with wins along the way, including a 57-38 defeat to Brillion in their last game.  Emma Adleman leads the team in scoring with just under 12 points a game.

 

Tip-off from Kewaunee begins at 7:30 p.m.

Kewaunee Storm Boys Travel North to Face Gibraltar Vikings

The Storm will travel up Highway 42 to take on fellow member of the Packerland Conference, Gibraltar. The Storm started off Packerland Conference play with a 59-38 win against Algoma. Kewaunee has beat Algoma every time since 2016. For Gibraltar, new head coach Travis Ward hopes to carry on what former head coach Justin Burress did last season, leading this team to state. 

 

Kewaunee’s Coach Neitzel and Coach Burress both utilized the Run and Jump full-court pressure tactic. When the teams faced off it was always close because the opponent knew how to attack the strategy. Now, Coach Ward could make adjustments but, based on the success the team has had with the press it is unlikely.

 

Kewaunee has shown their offense off in 2 of the teams 3 games. That game in which they received minimal scoring was when they traveled to face the high-powered Brillion Lions  The Storm had received scoring from Ihlenfeldt, Stangel, and Kohnle. This prevents teams from cutting off scoring if they shut down a singular player. The Storm starting lineup also has 2 very capable scorers in Pribek and Lamack. Pribek is a big man that isn’t the biggest guy on the floor but still finds a way to get rebounds and second chance points in the paint. 

 

The Vikings come into the matchup 1-2 after securing their first victory of the season on Saturday, beating Wabeno-Laona 58-45 on the road. Led by Jake Schar's 31 points, the Vikings outscored their hosts 27-14 to earn their first victory of the young season. Carl Burgess added nine points and Mateo Jauregui added six points in the victory. 

 

Tip-off is set for 7:00 pm at Gibraltar High School.

Kewaunee girls find their groove vs. Gibraltar

The Kewaunee girls' basketball team earned their first victory of the season on Friday night, beating Gibraltar 56-29.

 

The Storm took a 28-11 advantage into the break and did not look back thanks in part to Breanna Demmin.

Lexie Hanrahan added 10 points while two others registered at least five points in the win.

 

The Vikings struggled from the line, making just eight of their 22 attempts. Mikala Gorham continued her hot start to the season with 11 points while Andie Schar made her season debut, chipping in nine points.

Kewaunee boys show dominance in rivalry game vs. Algoma

The Kewaunee Storm kicked off Packerland Conference play when they welcomed the Algoma Wolves in the Storm’s home opener. Kewaunee emerged victorious, winning 59-38. The leading scorer for the Storm was senior forward Cal Ihlenfeldt, who had 14 points. The game was 25-13 at halftime in favor of Kewaunee. After halftime Kewaunee went on a huge run giving them the comfortable lead. 

 

Kewaunee played a different basketball style than we saw against Brillion and Luxemburg-Casco. Cal Ihlenfeldt was the biggest player on the court, allowing the Storm to play bully basketball. Ihlenfeldt was able to control the paint with his scoring but also with rebounds. Payton Kohnle had 10 points, while Sawyer Pribek had 12. A key bench player for the Storm was Jordan Brann, who could dribble around Algoma’s attempt at full-court pressure, and he could find his open teammates.

 

Kaden Vardon was Algoma’s leading scorer with 16. He filled the spot of Algoma’s all-time leading scorer Carter Zimmerman who graduated last year. Chase Romdenne had 12 points of his own in the contest. 

 

Kewaunee travels to Gibraltar next Tuesday while Algoma hosts NEW Lutheran.

 

Kewaunee boys welcome rival Algoma

It is Kewaunee County rivalry night in the Packerland Conference for boys basketball as Algoma makes the quick trip south to Kewaunee.

 

The Kewaunee Storm traveled to Brillion earlier this week, where the Lions emerged victorious in a 65-39 final score.  The Storm was led by senior guard Payton Kohnle. He led the team in scoring with 14 points and attempted to penetrate the Lions' interior defense. Stangel, Cullen, and Ihlenfeldt all had six.

 

The Algoma boys' basketball team could not catch up offensively against Two Rivers on Monday night, falling 64-33.  For the Wolves, it was Owen Robertson leading the way with 12 points. Cody Kirchman and Kaden Vardon each chipped in eight points in the loss. 

 

Tip is set for 7 p.m.
