The Kewaunee Storm will squeeze in one last game before the New Year with a matchup against Denmark on Friday.

The Storm are a perfect 9-0 on the season, taking over the top spot in the Packerland Conference with a 47-33 win over Sevastopol in their last matchup. No team has scored more than 45 points against the Storm this season, preventing teams from scoring more than 40 points five times.

The Vikings are 6-5 on the year and 4-3 in the North Eastern Conference. Led by Kiarrah Micolichek (12.6 ppg), the Vikings saw their two-game winning streak snapped last week with a 47-37 loss to Marinette right before the Christmas break. 

Tip-off in Kewaunee is set for 6 p.m.

The Kewaunee Storm boys fell to the Kiel Raiders 84-50 at home Thursday night in non-conference action.

Applying a full-court pressure defense from the start, Kewaunee jumped to a 15-2 lead early and held the Pioneers scoreless for the game's first seven minutes.

Taking advantage at the free throw line, the Storm hit a perfect 12 for 12 from the charity stripe in the first half and extended the lead to 23-6 with five minutes left.  Kewaunee would then go into halftime leading 26-10, with Jade Kroll hitting an incredible three-pointer from over half-court to end the first half.

Kewaunee kept the pressure on in the second half, building a lead as large as 23 points, and never let Sevastopol get comfortable in their half court-offense.

Brianna Demmin had a massive game for the Storm, scoring 18 points while going perfect from the free throw line, hitting all 12 of her attempts.  Braelyn Chevalier added 10 points, and Kroll chipped in eight more as Kewaunee stays perfect for the season.  The Storm finished nearly perfectly from the free throw line, going 16 for 17. 

Naomi Rikkola tried to keep the Pioneers in the game and tallied 26 points, but only two other players scored for Sevastopol, with Kayla Ranly adding five points and Libby Ash two.

Mitchell Boeder had a similar day with a pair of pins at 215 pounds before he got hurt in his semifinal match, forcing him to forfeit a chance at taking third.

According to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Kewaunee alum and current Wisconsin Badgers offensive lineman Tanor Bortolini has committed to play in the Reese's Senior Bowl in early 2024.

The Senior Bowl is set to be played on February 3rd in Mobile, Alabama, and it is usually the first sign of a player having pro football aspirations. NFL officials use the game and practices leading up to it to evaluate players. Bortolini started all 12 games this season at center after playing previously at guard and tackle during his Badgers tenure. He is also slated to play in the Badgers' final game of the season against LSU in the Reliaquest Bowl.

As a member of the Storm, he was on the All-Packerland Team several times and earned multiple lineman of the year awards.

Two of the top scorers in the Packerland Conference dueled on Thursday, with Thomas Stangel lifting the Kewaunee Storm past the Braden Sitte-led Gibraltar Vikings 64-48.

The Storm led by 10 at the break and had an answer to every Vikings' run at trying to close the gap. Thomas Stangel made sure of that, scoring a game-high 34 points, but he also got a strong performance from Anthony Jerabek, who scored 25 points of his own to push the Storm to victory. Sitte was the only Vikings player to reach double-figures for the second straight game as he scored 25 points. Liam Lindenberg added six points and Kayin Jackson chipped in five points in the second straight loss for the Vikings. Head coach Travis Ward was proud of his team for the effort, saying that they played hard. He added that every time his team went on the run, the Storm would have an answer or force his team into a bad decision.

It's Kewaunee's turn to take a break from Packerland Conference play as they prepare to battle Mishicot Friday night.

The Storm doubled up Gibraltar's output in the second half to defeat the Vikings 63-39 earlier this week. Jadelynn Kroll (18 pts), Brianna Demmin (13 pts), and Lexi Hanrahan (12 pts) all scored in double figures in the victory. It was the Storm's second straight win by double figures this season as they average just shy of 60 points per game.

The Indians beat Algoma earlier this week 48-40. Cora Stodola led the comeback for the Indians, scoring 13 of her game-high 18 points in the second half.

Tip-off is set for 7:30 p.m.
