Pioneers, Wolves tangle in Packerland tilt

Two of the top teams in the Packerland Conference will meet Tuesday night in Institute when Sevastopol welcomes Algoma in girls' basketball.

 

In their last game, the Sevastopol girls' basketball team held a 31-9 advantage at halftime and didn't look back as they beat Sturgeon Bay 55-25. The Pioneers got their fast start thanks to 12 first-half points from Naomi Rikkola and 11 from Katherine Spude and a suffocating defense that kept the Clippers off the scoreboard. Rikkola would continue her assault in the second half, scoring a game-high 25 points. Kayla Ranly picked up her game in the second half, scoring eight of her 13 points after the break. 

 

Algoma head coach Mark Zastrow got what he wanted for his birthday last Thursday: a 51-28 bounce-back victory over Peshtigo. The Wolves never let the Bulldogs in the game as they dominated the first half, taking a 29-8 lead into the break. A big reason why is how often the Wolves got to the free-throw line, as they made 12 of 19 in the first half. They would make 24 of their 35 free throws on the evening. The scoring was balanced up and down the line-up, with Ryley Zimmerman finishing her day with 12 points, Jaydn Nellis adding 11 points, Brooke Mattson contributing eight points, and Therese Gerdmann chipping seven.

 

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