Sevastopol's Rikkola named to WBCA Division All-State Team

Sevastopol's Naomi Rikkola picked up another accolade this week, being named to the Wisconsin Basketball Coaches Association All-State Team.

 

Rikkola was one of 22 players named as honorable mention to the squad and one of 10 juniors named overall. 

 

The junior guard averaged 18.6 ppg and 6.9 rpg on the year as she led the Pioneers to a WIAA Regional Final appearance following a 22-4 campaign. 

Pioneers girls fall in regional title game to Rebels on 96.7 WBDK

The Sevastopol girls' basketball team could not shake the sticky defense of Wabeno-Laona in the WIAA Tournament for the second year in a row, falling this time in the regional final 60-31.

 

The Pioneers had to change their strategy early in the first half as Naomi Rikkola picked up three quick fouls in the early minutes, and Katie Spude was lost for the game with a leg injury. Meanwhile, the inside game of Lily Terry and Allison Albrecht and the outside shooting of Rylee Yeager gave the Rebels a lead they would never lose.  Kayla Ranly helped keep things close in the first half with all eight of her points coming in the opening 18 minutes, but the Pioneers found themselves down 28-17 at the break. 

Albrecht took over in the second half, scoring 11 of her 16 points after the break as Terry added to her total to end the night with 13.  Malerie Krawze added 10 points, and Yaeger's day ended with eight points. Rikkola finally found some space in the second half as she played in foul trouble for the bulk of the game. She scored 10 of her team-high 15 points in the second half.

 

Sienna Cain chipped in six points to complement Ranly's eight points.

The Pioneers' season ends with a 22-4 record and a share of the Packerland Conference Title. The game was also the final game in the careers of Kylie Duessler, Libby Ash, Katie Spude, and Sam Herrell. In his postgame comments, head coach Ben Rikkola said he was proud of his team fighting through adversity, adding that the lone positive of their rash of injuries this season is that it allowed some of their younger players get experience ahead of next year.

 

Sevastopol girls break through against Gibraltar, face Wabeno-Laona Saturday on 96.7 WBDK

The Sevastopol Pioneers will have a rematch of last year's sectional semi-final in the regional final on Saturday after knocking out their county rival Gibraltar 42-23 Friday night.

 

Both teams came out shaky offensively as they went almost the first nine minutes without scoring a basket from the field until Quincy Chomeau's runner in the lane opened the scoring. The Vikings would tack on another point to make 3-0, but the Pioneers would return the favor with a 13-0 run over the next five minutes to take a commanding lead. A big reason why was Kayla Ranly, who scored 11 points in the frame, while Naomi Rikkola chipped in with seven points. The Vikings would add some points on late, but not before the two teams entered the locker room with the Pioneers holding onto a 22-8 lead.

Rikkola kept her pace in the second half as she finished the night with a team-high 15 points, complemented by Ranly's 13 points. Katie Spude also proved to be a force herself, keeping possession alive with her rebounding while scoring four of her eight points in the second half. The Pioneers would stretch the lead out to more than 20 points after they mired in another scoring drought, but Mikala Gorham scored eight of her 11 points coming out of the locker room. Schar ended her night with five points, while McKailey Reisen and Chomeau also made shots from the field.

After the game, Gibraltar head coach Evan DeBroux spoke to how proud he was of his team in their final game of the season.

Sevastopol head coach Ben Rikkola said he was happy his team was able to overcome a slow start, but turned his attention to Saturday's opponent, Wabeno-Laona. The Rebels advanced to the regional final with a 56-27 win over Gillett on Friday one year after advancing to the state semifinal.

Bryan Mazur and Tim Kowols will have the call from Institute Saturday night on 96.7 WBDK and NEWRadioSportsNetwork.com beginning at 6:45 p.m. with the pregame show followed by the opening tip at 7 p.m.

Gibraltar, Sevastopol girls collide in WIAA Regional Semis on 96.7 WBDK, 105.1 The GOAT Friday

Two Door County teams are on a crash course for a berth in Saturday's girls' regional title game when Sevastopol hosts Gibraltar Friday night.

 

The Pioneers dominated Tuesday night in the opening round with a 65-7 win over the St. Thomas Aquinas Cavaliers in Institute. The Pioneers pulled away early and never looked back, as nine players tallied in the scoring column for Sevastopol. Head coach Ben Rikkola praised his defense just as much as his offense after it allowed the short-handed Cavaliers no points in the second half. Naomi Rikkola and Katie Spude had 12 points each for the Pioneers.

 

A McKailey Reisen putback with 6.5 seconds left in the game drowned out four years of agony in the WIAA Tournament as Gibraltar beat the higher-seeded Niagara Badgers 45-43. The Vikings were led in scoring with 15 points from Andie Schar, which was complemented by 12 points from Reisen and 10 points from Mikala Gorham. Head coach Evan DeBroux hopes the win gives the Vikings more confidence heading into Friday's game against the Pioneers, which beat them in both meetings this year by an average score of more than 40 points.

 

The game will air on 105.1 The GOAT with Tim Kowols, 96.7 WBDK with Bryan Mazur, and NEWRadioSportsNetwork.com beginning at 6:45 p.m. with the pregame show followed by the opening tip at 7 p.m.

Pioneers boys can't leash Bulldogs

The Sevastopol Pioneers struggled to keep up with the Peshtigo Bulldogs Thursday night, losing 83-39.

 

Logan Schuh and Oliver Matthews led the Pioneers with nine points apiece in the loss. 

Lady Pioneers cruise to win over St. Thomas Aquinas on 96.7 WBDK

The Sevastopol Pioneers dominated Tuesday night in the opening round of the WIAA Division 5 girls basketball playoffs with a 65-7 win over the St. Thomas Aquinas Cavaliers in Institute. 

 

The Pioneers pulled away early and never looked back, as nine players tallied in the scoring column for Sevastopol.

 

Naomi Rikkola and Katie Spude had 12 points each for the Pioneers, who are #2 seeded in the Regional. 

 

Sevastopol (21-3) will now host Packerland Conference rival Gibraltar on Friday in the Regional semi-final, with the game broadcast on 96.7 WBDK and 105.1 The Goat. 

 

Lady Pioneers begin regional title defense on 96.7 WBDK

The Sevastopol Pioneers look to defend their regional championship from a year ago when they open against St. Thomas Aquinas Academy in Institute.

 

The #3-seeded Pioneers are 20-3 and carry an eight-game winning streak into their home gym. Their last loss was to Oconto on January 25th, a defeat they would avenge weeks later with a 10-point victory. The offense has run through Naomi Rikkola, who leads the team with 18.9 ppg, 6.9 rpg, and 3.0 apg. Kayla Ranly has complemented Rikkola with 14.3 ppg. The Pioneers were dealt a dose of bad news last week when Libby Ash was sidelined with a leg injury, joining fellow senior teammate Sam Herrell on the bench.

 

The Cavaliers are on the opposite side of the spectrum, going 2-18 on the season and 0-16 in their conference. They did end their regular season on a good note with a 39-36 win over Stockbridge on Saturday in Oshkosh. No Cavaliers player averages more than eight points per game as the team was held to under 20 points 16 times and to single digits twice.

 

Bryan Mazur and Tim Ash will have the call on 96.7 WBDK and NEWRadioSportsNetwork.com beginning at 6:45 p.m., followed by the opening tip at 7 p.m.

Pioneers boys fall to Blue Devils

The Sevastopol Pioneers are still searching for their first Packerland Conference win on the season after falling to Oconto Monday night 90-63.

 

The Blue Devils took a 49-32 lead into the locker room and didn't look back, thanks to 49 points by Carter Koch. Trenton Hartman scored 15 points, and Cooper Campsure added 11 points to pad the advantage for the Blue Devils. Oliver Matthews led the way for the Pioneers with 21 points behind six three-pointers. Chase Haberli made three of his own en route to a 13-point evening, while Logan Schuh chipped in with 11.

Duessler, Bley rely on past athletic experiences for Miss Door County platforms

Sevastopol athletes Kylee Duessler and Emily Bley did not have to look far to find the perfect platforms to travel the area promoting during their tenure as Miss Door County and Miss Door County Teen.

 

Duessler is at the tail end of her basketball season before she heads into the track season, where she qualified for last year's state meet in the 200m dash. The pair played with each other on the Pioneers volleyball team that made it to the regional semifinal last season after two consecutive trips to the sectional round. 

 

Duessler, a future UW-Milwaukee biomedical engineering student, will promote her community service initiative, “Trust Your Training; Anxiety Awareness in Athletics,” over the next year. Bley, a future NWTC nursing student, will discuss her community service initiative, “Nutrition Before Competition,” over the next year as well.  After struggling with them, the pair discussed why the issues were important to them.

Duessler and the Pioneers' girls basketball team will open their WIAA Tournament run at home against St. Thomas Aquinas on Tuesday at 7 p.m. 

Lemieux to represent SBS at state meet

Sturgeon Bay/Sevastopol's Tiani Lemieux clinched her second straight trip to the WIAA State Meet by hardly breaking a sweat.

 

Lemieux pinned both of her opponents in less than two minutes total. Teammate Olivia Hofrichter split her two matches to come up just shy of a chance to go herself. On the boys' side, Spencer Madsen was the highest placing wrestler as he missed out on a trip to Madison with a fourth place finish.

The Sevastopol Pioneers girls' basketball team can clinch a share of the Packerland Conference title with a win on Thursday after beating fellow conference leader Oconto 49-39 on Monday night.

The Pioneers' Naomi Rikkola and the Blue Devils' Addi Viestenz showed why they are All-Packerland Conference performers, scoring 18 points for their respective teams.

Sevastopol girls down NEW, face Wabeno-Laona Saturday

The Sevastopol girls' basketball team earned their second week's win on Friday, beating NEW Lutheran 53-32.

Kayla Ranly led the Pioneers with 15 points, while Libby Ash sank three three-pointers to add 11 points. Three others chipped in at least five points. Lexie Meerstein poured in 14 points, and Ingrid Beaumont added 10 points to the loss for the Blazers.

Pioneers Rally Past Kewaunee; Grab Share of Packerland Conference Title on 104.1 WRLU 

In a back-and-forth battle among two Packerland Conference’s top teams, the Sevastopol Pioneers edged out the Kewaunee Storm 38-33 on 104.1 WRLU.  

 

It was a low-scoring, defensive battle early on as both teams slowed the action down, going into the halftime break with Sevastopol leading 14-13. Kewaunee’s Brianna Demmin and Sevastopol’s Kayla Ranly lead each team with six first-half points

 

In the second half, the scoring picked up a bit.  Kewaunee’s leading scorer, guard Jade Kroll, was held scoreless in the first, came out with two early 3’s, and led the Storm to take the lead back.  Kewaunee would lead by as much as 5 in the second half, led by Demmin and Kroll, who would finish the game with 12 and 10 points, respectively.  

 

Then came the comeback from the Sevastopol Pioneers.  Naomi Rikkola, coming off her season-high 36-point game on Saturday, was also held in check in the first half, scoring only 2 points in the opening period. However, Rikkola would explode to score 19 of her game-high 21 points in the 2nd half, including a 3-point shot that put the Pioneers up 32-30 with under a minute to play.  As the Storm tried to foul to keep time on the clock, Rikkola would close the game out with 6 made free throws in the final 30 seconds of action, leading Sevastopol to the comeback win. 

 

After the game, Kayla Ranly, Naomi Rikkola, and Pioneers head coach Ben Rikkola all joined 104.1 WRLU to talk about their thought process during the comeback.

Rikkola hits 1000-point milestone as Pioneers cruise past Vikes

Naomi Rikkola got exactly what she needed to not only lead the Sevastopol Pioneers to an 80-31 victory over Gibraltar, but to write her name in the record books.

 

Rikkola scored 36 points in the Pioneers win, the exact number she needed to become the sixth student-athlete at the school to reach 1,000 points and the first to do it as a junior. Rikkola registered 15 points in the first half as she helped stake the Pioneers to a 38-20 lead, with Katie Spude contributing another 11 points. The Vikings' Andie Schar scored nine first-half points to keep things within 20 points before the break.

 

The Pioneers' defense clamped down on the Vikings in the second half, as they only allowed them to score 11 points compared to their 42 points. In addition to Rikkola's 36 points, Spude and Libby Ash each scored 11 points, and Kayla Ranly added 13 points. Schar led the way with 14 points for the Vikings, and Mikala Gorham added six points in the loss.
