The Sevastopol track team will take on the hosting duties for this year's Door County Classic when the first events begin at 4:30 p.m.

Sturgeon Bay, Southern Door, Gibraltar, and Sevastopol will all compete for the first time since last week's Packerland Conference Relays at Kewaunee. The Southern Door girls won their side of the meet while the Southern Door boys took third.  The Eagles boys won the 4x100m and 4x800m relays and the Eagles girls were led by Elise Jackson (100m and 300m hurdles) and the 4x200m relay. Results from that meet can be found here.

The Sevastopol Pioneers softball team only played eight innings across two games on Thursday, but they were still able to score 30 runs on 26 hits in a pair of 15-0 wins over Sturgeon Bay on Thursday.

In game one, a six-run fifth-inning ended the contest after five innings. Addison Schauske only needed one run as she threw a perfect game with no hits or walks across five innings with seven strike outs. Eight players registered at least one hit led by Jolene Luedtke's 3-4 night. Schauske (4 RBI) and Naomi Rikkola (2 RBI) all had multiple RBI games as four other drove home runs.

Jolene Luedtke 3-4, 3 runs scored, double

Taylor Kochanski 1-2, 2 runs scored

Naomi Rikkola 1-3, 3 runs scored, 2 RBI

Adi Sawyer 2-4, 1 RBI, 1 run scored, triple

Lyvia Duessler 2-4, 1 RBI, 1 run scored

Libby Ash 1-2, 2 runs scored, 1 RBI, double

Kayla Ranly 1-2, 1 run scored, 1 RBI, double

Addison Schauske 1-4, double, 4 RBI

In game 2, the Pioneers batted around in the 1st and 3rd innings to end the game after three. The Pioneers were aided by four Clippers errors and another strong performance from the circle from Schauske, who allowed one hit across three innings while registered seven of the nine outs as strikeouts. An Annika Schoeneman single in the third inning with two outs was the lone bright spot offensively for the Clippers. Five Pioneers players had multi-hit games including three hits from Rikkola. Schauske and Kaylee Krishka each had three RBI while Taylor Kochanski drove in a pair in the win.

Jolene Luedtke 2-3, 2 runs scored, triple, double

Taylor Kochanski 2-2, 2 runs scored, 2 RBI

Naomi Rikkola 3-3, 3 runs scored, 3 stolen bases

Addison Schauske 2-3, 3 RBI

Adi Sawyer 1-2, 2 runs scored

Kaylee Krishka 2-3, 3 RBI, double, 2 stolen bases

Aaron Tomaszewski's new personal record represented Sevastopol's best finish at the Peshtigo Quad track meet on Tuesday.

The sophomore's time of 11:51 was the fastest in the meet and one of three top-three finishes for the boys' squad. As for the girls, runner-up finishes for Bea Dramm (800m), the 4x400m relay, and Danica Werkheiser (high jump) were the best registered for the Pioneers.

On Tuesday, the Sevastopol/Gibraltar girls' soccer team picked up a point in the Packerland Conference table with a 1-1 draw.

No other details from the match were provided. 

The United will head to Sturgeon Bay for another Packerland Conference matchup on Thursday. Kickoff is set for 6 p.m.

The Sevastopol Pioneers softball team dropped a non-conference game to the Mishicot Indians of the Big East Conference.  The final score was 6-0 as the Pioneers could not manage a run or a hit against one of the states’ perennial top teams and pitcher Kiran Sanford, who struck out 15 batters.  Addison Schauske took the loss for the Pioneers, allowing nine hits while striking out four batters in seven innings.

The Pioneers are next scheduled to play a doubleheader at Sturgeon Bay against the Clippers on Saturday afternoon.

The Sevastopol Pioneers baseball bounced back from 8-1 loss in their first game in Peshtigo to beat the Bulldogs in game two 4-3.

In game one, the Bulldogs built up an 8-0 lead before Drake Olson registered the lone RBI for the Pioneers. Olson took the loss, allowing seven of the eight runs (4 ER) while striking out four. Caleb Klimek proved to be a pest for the Bulldogs, driving in two runs on two hits.

In game two, the Pioneers used two runs in the first and third innings to hold off the Bulldogs. Chase Haberli and Gavin Jorns each had two hits and two RBI in the game. Haberli earned the win with 6 1/3 innings of five hit ball, allowing three runs (3 ER) while striking out six. The Pioneers secured the win in spectacular fashion with a Chase Haberli throw on a relay from Gavin Jorns on a play at the plate by Logan Schuh. 

The Sevastopol Pioneers softball team came up just shy of salvaging one of their games in Peshtigo on Saturday. They lost both ends of their doubleheader, 9-6 and 5-4.

In game one, the Pioneers responded to an early 2-0 deficit with four runs in their half of the first inning thanks to knocks from Taylor Kochanski, Addison Schauske, and Adison Sawyer. The Bulldogs responded with three runs and an insurance run in the fifth inning to put the game away. The Pioneers put up single tallies in the sixth and seventh innings but came up short. Kochanski had four hits and RBI to lead the Pioneers, while Naomi Rikkola and Schauske each had three hits, combining to drive in three runs. Schauske took the loss from the circle, going the distance while allowing nine runs (5 ER) on nine hits.

In game two, the Pioneers led 4-1 going into the bottom of the seventh before being shocked by the Bulldogs, who put up four runs in the final frame to capture it in walk-off fashion. Kayla Ranly went 2-3 with two RBI to pace the Pioneers, while Rikkola and Schauske drove in the other runs. Schauske and Brynn Schartner joined Ranly in having two hits. Schauske had seven strikeouts in game two but ran out of gas in the seventh, where she gave up four runs on four hits, including the game-winning run on a passed ball. 

The Sevastopol/Gibraltar soccer team could not overcome the Green Bay East defense Saturday morning, losing 2-0 at City Stadium in Green Bay.

The United held off the Red Devils' attack for most of the first half before succumbing to the home team in the latter stages of the game.

The Sevastopol/Gibraltar girls' soccer team will visit historic City Stadium on Saturday morning to face the Green Bay East Red Devils.

The United earned its first win of the season on Monday, winning 2-0 over Little Chute. The United scored their first goal on a corner kick when Izzy Andrae headed the ball past the Mustangs goalkeeper to make 1-0 with 32 minutes left in the second half. With 25 minutes remaining, the United doubled their lead when Kaitlyn Conner dribbled past multiple defenders and tucked it underneath a diving goalkeeper. 

The Red Devils secured their first win of the season with a 2-1 victory over New London, improving to 1-1-0 on the year. CJ Ross scored a goal and an assist, while Sherlyn Grijalva scored the other goal to lead the Red Devils to victory.

Saturday's fixture begins at 10 a.m.

The Sevastopol Pioneers baseball team found themselves down early and could not come back in a 9-2 loss to Manitowoc Lutheran on Thursday.

The Pioneers were down 5-0 before Reid Kacmarynski singled home a run to make 5-1. A four-run fifth inning clinched the decision for the Lancers, who would later give one of those runs back when Oliver Matthews was credited with an RBI thanks to a bases-loaded walk in the seventh inning. Frankie DeYoung went 2-4 on the day to pace all Pioneers' batters. Logan Schuh provided some stability after the Pioneers' first two pitchers combined to retire just one batter while allowing four runs. Schuh went 3/2/3 innings, allowing five runs (3 ER) and four hits while striking out two.

The Pioneers are back in action on Saturday when they face Peshtigo.

The Sevastopol/Gibraltar girls' soccer team earned its first win of the season on Monday, winning 2-0 over Little Chute. 

The United scored their first goal on a corner kick when Izzy Andrae headed the ball past the Mustangs goalkeeper to make 1-0 with 32 minutes left in the second half. With 25 minutes remaining, the United doubled their lead when Kaitlyn Conner dribbled past multiple defenders and tucked it underneath a diving goalkeeper. 

The Sevastopol softball team picked up their first win of the season on Monday, topping Assumption 6-2. 

Things were snug between the Pioneers and the Royals early on, with the game tied at two through six innings. A four-run rally sparked by Jolene Luedtke's bases-clearing double and capped off by her stealing home led the Pioneers to victory.

Luedtke went 2-3 with two doubles and four RBI, while Alaina Schopf - 1-4 with a triple. Naomi Rikkola was a pest on the basepaths, scoring two runs and stealing three bases. Addison Schauske held down the Royals, allowing four hits, three runs (2 ER), and ten strikeouts in her complete-game outing.

If field conditions allow, you may see the Sevastopol/Gibraltar United take the pitch on Thursday for their first match of the season against Manitowoc Lincoln on the road.

The United have not played since June 1st, when they lost to St. Mary Catholic 3-0 in the girls' soccer tournament. They finished their campaign 3-13-2 while splitting their conference matches. 

While the United had their Tuesday match against Marinette postponed, the Ships played against Sheboygan Falls, losing the match 1-0. Sarah Bolchen is the team's lone All-Conference contributor from last season.

Kickoff is scheduled for 4:30 p.m. 

The Sevastopol track team opened their 2024 campaign at the Berlin Indoor Invite hosted at Ripon College on Thursday.

For the boys, Jarius Dadam was the top-place winner, coming in third place in the pole vault. The girls were led by Caitlyn Fellner's fourth-place finish in the 200m.

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. 

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.

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.

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.

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. 

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. 

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.

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.

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. 

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.
