The Sevastopol cross country teams will still be able to hang their hat on a Packerland Conference championship after seeing their season come to a close in Manitowoc at the sectional meet on Saturday.

The girls team finished in the best spot among the three other local schools in the meet, finishing eighth overall. Bea Dramm's 19th-place finish was not quite enough to sneak her in as an individual state qualifier. To conclude his junior season, Jarius Dadam broke 19 minutes on the 5K course.

Sevastopol looks to stretch their winning ways to two when they battle Hilbert in the second round of the WIAA Volleyball Tournament.

The Pioneers snapped their losing streak convincingly with a 3-0 sweep (25-18, 25-19, 25-9) of Gillett, Hilbert did not struggle much either in their WIAA opener against Wild Rose, winning the match 25-14, 25-14, 25-14.

The opening serve is scheduled for 7 p.m. 

Sevastopol snapped their losing streak convincingly with a 3-0 sweep (25-18, 25-19, 25-9) of Gillett ahead of their semifinal bout against Hilbert.

No other stats from the match were available.

The Sevastopol volleyball team hopes the switch to the WIAA Tournament will flip a trend as they prepare to host Gillett.

The Pioneers dropped their final five regular season matches, all to Packerland Conference opponents. Outside of the Packerland, the Pioneers are 15-5.

The Tigers have not won since September 14th, going 2-19 on the season. They lost their final 13 matches, capturing at least one set in only five of them.

The first serve is scheduled for 7 p.m.

The season is winding down, but the team will travel to Shawano High School on Tuesday for its conference sprints meet.

On Saturday, the team placed 5th out of 17, scoring 187 points total at the non-conference invitational at Shorewood High School. Julia Michalski (SBHS) was the top scorer for DCU, scoring 30 points with her 3rd-place finish in the 100-yard backstroke and her 5th-place finish in the 200-yard individual medley. She was followed closely by Cassie Rankin (SEV), who scored 24 points, and Danica Neville (SDHS), who scored 14 points. Caitlyn Hasenjager (SEV) also supported her team with 13 points in her individual events. The relays were the star of the show on Saturday. DCU placed fifth in the 200-yard medley relay (Michalski J, Neville D, Jimenez Seyfer, Hasenjager), fourth in the 200-yard freestyle relay (Rankin, Michalski N, Neville K, Hasenjager), and seventh in the 400-yard freestyle relay (Rankin, Michalski N, Neville D, Michalski J).

The Sevastopol girls cross country team shuffled in their runners at the right times to win the Packerland Conference meet on their home course Thursday afternoon.

Bea Dramm led the charge with a 21:37 on the 5K course and freshman Shylee Asher picked a good time to run her personal best with a time of 22:00. The girls scored 43 points, just two points ahead of last year's champion, Peshtigo.

Jarius Dadam finished his season with another time under 20 minutes.

The Packerland Conference will descend on Cherry Hills Golf Course on Thursday for their championships meet.

The area's teams will try to knock off Peshtigo from its mountaintop, which won the boys' and girls' titles over Kewaunee (boys) and Sevastopol (girls) at last year's championships hosted at Gibraltar. The girls' race could look very similar to last year with the top five all returning for a chance to be crowned champion including Kewaunee's Hannah Miller, Southern Door's Emma Bousley, and Sevastopol's Bea Dramm. Last year's champion in the boys race graduated, potentially opening the door for Southern Door's Ben Grota and Kewaunee's Christopher Cullen to take the top spot.

Algoma, Gibraltar, Kewaunee, Oconto, Peshtigo, Providence Academy/NEW Lutheran, Southern Door, and Sturgeon Bay are all scheduled to compete when the first race kicks off at 3:30 p.m.

The Sevastopol volleyball team looks to snap Algoma's conference winning streak when the two teams meet on Tuesday.

Despite an impressive 18-9 overall record, the Pioneers are just 3-3 in the Packerland Conference. That includes dropping all but one set in their last three matches against Gibraltar, Kewaunee, and NEW Lutheran.

The Wolves have cruised to the top of the table with a perfect Packerland run to the top of the table and have won eight of their last 10 matches overall.

The opening serve is set for 7 p.m.

The Sevastopol Pioneers stood out amongst a tough field at the Russ Fameree Invitational hosted by Luxemburg-Casco Friday afternoon, winning the top spot amongst small schools.

The Pioneers placed their top six runners in the top 40, led by Bea Dramm's 16th-place finish with a time of 21:04. Jarius Dadam led the boys with a time of 18:53.

The Sevastopol Pioneers football team saved their two closest rivals for the final two weeks beginning Friday night when they host Algoma.

The Pioneers lost their sixth game of the season last week in Suring by a 40-28 score. A 16-0 run in the second quarter all but doomed the Pioneers' chance to get into the game after entering the frame down only 16-14. Logan Schuh played great behind center, throwing for 265 yards and three touchdowns and rushing for 62 yards and a score. The Pioneers' run defense proved to be too porous for the Eagles as Suring rushed for over 300 yards and three touchdowns in their victory.

The Wolves held off a furious rally from Oneida Nation/NEW Lutheran/Providence Academy to win the game 54-36. Grant Vandervest was a perfect 7-7 throwing the ball while rushing for nearly 200 yards, accumulating three total touchdowns. Issac Yunk crossed the goalline three times and rushed for nearly 120 yards in the win.

Jacob Nate and Reece Robillard will have the call on U-102.1 and NEWRadioSportsNetwork.com beginning at 6:45 p.m. with the pregame show followed by the opening kick at 7 p.m.

The Sevastopol volleyball team will try to get back on track Thursday night when they host Gibraltar in Packerland Conference action.

The Pioneers were swept by Kewaunee 3-0 on Tuesday night for their second straight loss in the Packerland Conference. They have been great all season up to this point, compiling an 18-7 mark overall.

The Vikings are winless since ending their Hilbert Invitational residency with two straight victories. They have lost three straight matches to Algoma, Sturgeon Bay, and Southern Door by identical 3-1 scores in Packerland play.

The match is slated to start at 7 p.m.
