After over 20+ years of coaching, John Berns will put the managerial cap back on for yet again another season, this time coaching his High School Alma Mater, Southern Door. 

After playing for the Eagles in the late 60’s, Berns returns to Southern Door to coach, replacing former Eagles head coach Dave Neinas. Neinas submitted his resignation in February, and the search for the next head coach had been ongoing since then. Coach Berns has recently been a coach at Sevastopol and Sturgeon Bay, and now after being inducted into the Southern Door Hall of Fame in early February, the longtime coach can finally call the Eagles his team. 

How Berns was hired however, was a bit of an interesting story. NRSN’s Gary Barta had a chance to sit down with the new Eagles coach last Friday, and was given some insight on how the job landed in his hands. 

Not only is he respected by the Eagles players, he is well known and respected by opposing coaches and fans as well. Sturgeon Bay’s new Baseball Head Coach Neal Henrigillis comes over from Peshtigo, and has had many battles with the coach. Henrigillis offered some thoughts and praises about the new Southern Door manager. 

With the beginning of the season pending due to the past snow storms and winter weather, the Eagles players will get an extended opportunity to gel with their one of a kind coach. Whether it be getting the swings back to normal, or ramping up their pitchers for game action, the Eagles of Southern Door are ready to chase their third straight Packerland Conference title. 

You can listen to the entire interview with Coach John Berns here.

Door County has its second All-State player of the season for Basketball as Drew Daoust on the boys circuit was named to the Division 3 All-State team. He joins Bailey Rikkola who was named to the Division 5 All-State team on the girls side early last week. 

Daoust had one of the best seasons in the local area's history, finishing third in the state in scoring at 32.1 points per game. Drew shot 53 percent from the floor, 82 percent from the free-throw line and 39 percent from three-point range. Daoust will enter next year with 1,340 career points, looking to break the county record held by Nathan Vogel, and reach 2,000 points. 

The last All-State player for the Eagles of Southern Door was Ryan Claflin on the 2020 team. Claflin finished his Eagle career with over 1,100 career points. 

As a sophomore, Daoust has a chance to become a 3 time All-State player at his current pace. 

Other local players on the All-State list included two Green Bay NEW Lutheran seniors in Tristian Lynch and Elijah Meerstein. Meerstein was listed as an Honorable Mention with 15 points per game and nearly nine assists per game. Lynch was one of 10 players on the All-State list for Division Five. He led the Blazers with just under 23 points per game. 

Also, regional teams had their fair share of success at the Kohl Center this weekend, with two teams from the region taking home a gold ball, and another team who faced a local team in their path raising one as well. 

In Division 1 it was De Pere defeating Arrowhead 69-49 to complete their perfect season. The Redbirds had just two wins that were less than 10 points, with both of those wins coming against powerhouses Wisconsin Lutheran (54-52) and Division 2 Champions Pewaukee (70-63). 

Division 3 saw the Brillion Lions take down West Salem 61-55. Brillion defeated local teams like Kewaunee (65-39), Southern Door (79-31), and Luxemburg-Casco (75-34). The Lions finished their season 29-1 with their only loss coming by 1 point against Mosinee. 

Finally, in Division 5 Newman Catholic defeated McDonell Catholic 66-54 for the state title. Newman Catholic defeated the Gibraltar Vikings in the Sectional Final to clinch their ticket to Madison. The Vikings have now lost to the last two reigning Division 5 Champions. 

Drew Daoust was recently named the Packerland Conference Player of the Year as a Sophomore for the 2022-2023 season. 

After leading his team all the way to a Regional Final matchup against Campbellsport Saturday night, Daoust and the Eagles season came to an end after a stunning 43-36 loss. Daoust set many records this season, including having the 17th highest single scoring season in Wisconsin history according to the history books on WSN. 

Whether it was his 1,000 point game against Two Rivers, or scoring in the forties in both matchups against NEW Lutheran, Drew Daoust made his name a household one not only in Northeast Wisconsin, but he is hoping around the state and more as he becomes able to be recruited this summer. The day that can happen is June 15th, and Daoust talked about a potential recruitment, and what he can do for it now that the season is over. 

The last Eagle to be named Packerland Conference Player of the Year was brother Alex Daoust who won it during the 2020-21 season, and if Daoust showed anyone this season, more awards may be coming for the Sophomore guard in the future years. 

Drew currently sits at 1,340 points in his two year varsity career, and is currently 226 points behind the Door County record currently held by Nathan Vogel. At the pace he is at, Daoust may break the county record before the turn of the new year next season. 

A county record being broken that has stood for years would be something unheard of, but Daoust wants more, he’s looking for a deeper run into next season's playoffs, and this time with the teammates he’s grown up with. But for now, Daoust seems content with his vacation in Florida.

The Southern Door Eagles 19 game winning streak and their season came to a screeching end Saturday night as they fell 43-36 on U-102.1

Campbellsport began the night red hot on both ends, jumping out to a 5-0 lead, but holding Southern Door to no points in the first six minutes of the game. Drew Daoust would end that drought with a pair of free throws, and would actually give the Eagles the lead eventually at 8-5. 

The Eagles and Cougars would go back and forth throughout the entire first half, with neither team leading by more than two points at a time. Daoust would lead the offense for Southern Door, and Mitchell McCarty led the way for Campbellsport. 

After a last second shot from Campbellsport, Drew Daoust hit a long stepback three to give the Eagles a two point lead going into halftime at 21-19. Daoust would have 15 at the half. 

Campbellsport would switch things up in the second half and go to an extended 1-3-1 zone defense which would end up messing with the flow of the Eagle offense. Another extended scoring drought for Southern Door in the second half would fuel the momentum for Campbellsport. 

Clutch free throws at the end of the game for Campbellsport iced away the game for the Cougars, giving them their first regional title since 2005. Campbellsport will take on Brillion next Thursday in the Sectional Semifinals.

The Southern Door Eagles proved basketball is truly a game of runs tonight against Two Rivers, winning 71-58 on U-102.1 and NEW Radio Sports Network. 

The beginning of the game began as a back and forth affair, with Drew Daoust and Carson Kadow trading blows, ultimately having Two Rivers jump out to an early 7-6 lead. Daoust would connect with multiple three point shots early on, and gave Southern Door a comfortable early lead after a fight with the Raiders early. 

Jack Peterson would be a key factor in this one for the Eagles, hitting two early threes to extend the Southern Door lead to 21-11 with just under six minutes left in the first half. Two Rivers would not go down without a fight however, as Brady Richards would fight through foul trouble in the first half, but still lead the way in first half scoring for the Raiders. 

A buzzer beating three before the break from Eli Gallagher would make the halftime score 35-24 in favor of the Eagles. 

The second half would be a test for Southern Door, as Two Rivers got the lead down to as low as three, but Jared Hawkey would begin to take over. Going seven for seven overall from the free throw line and key baskets underneath would seal the win for the Eagles. 

Southern Door will be back in action tomorrow night as they take on the Campbellsport Cougars on U-102.1 and NEWRadioSportsNetwork.com. Gary Barta and Lucas Stephenson will be on the call from Brussels with pregame beginning at 6:45 and tip at 7. 

The Southern Door Eagles boys basketball team will be coming off of a first round bye in the Regional Quarterfinals when they take on the tenth seeded Two Rivers on Friday night with a trip to the Regional Title on the line. 

In the midst of their 18 game winning streak, Southern Door has been rolling over teams in the new year, and have not lost since December 16th. Two Rivers was a victim in one of those wins for the Eagles, as Southern Door rolled 76-39. That was the matchup where Sophomore Drew Daoust broke the 1000 point mark, dropping 32 points total. The Eagles will have to make sure they do not look over the Raiders in search of a regional title, but trends show that Southern Door could be flying into a Saturday night matchup if the Pirates cannot slow them down. 

Two Rivers will enter the matchup against the Eagles at an 11-14 record. The Raiders upset the Kewaskum Indians 47-34 in the opening round behind stout defense and 16 points from Brady Richards. The Raiders did not let a single Kewaskum player reach double figures, and will have to bring that same defense against the Eagles, who had scorers of 32, 16, and 13 in the last matchup back on January 31st. 

Jacob Nate and Gary Barta will be on the call from Brussels on U-102.1 and NEWRadioSportsNetwork.com. The pregame show will begin at 6:45 with tipoff set for 7:00 between the Eagles and Raiders. 

Congratulations to Hailey Veeser who finished fourth in the 138 pound weight class and Nora LeFevre who competed at 100 pounds.  Both wrestled in the first girls individual state wrestling tournament held at the Kohl Center in Madison this weekend.  

Hailey won an 8-2 decision in the first round over Natalia Poplawski from New Berlin West/Eisenhower.  Hailey wrestled her style by controlling the tempo from start to finish.  Tensions are always high for the first match as the atmosphere can be overwhelming for some wresters but Hailey handled it very well.  In the second round Hailey faced Emersyn Miller from Poynette.  After giving up the first takedown Hailey fought back to take a commanding lead in the second period. However, Emersyn kept working hard and scored a 2 point reversal and 2 near fall in the closing seconds of the second period to close the gap to 1 point.  Hailey wrestled smart in the third period to hang onto the lead and advance to the semi-finals.  Emerysn would eventually finish in fifth place.

In the semi-final Hailey faced Madalyn Sokoloski from Bonduel.  As we expected Madalyn came fast and hard like she did in every match.  Unfortunately, Hailey couldn't slow her down on her way to the championship.  This was the one match of the season where Hailey's lack of experience in big matches showed.  I know with more time in practice and on the mat we can change that around.  Still a great experience to get to the semi-final and wrestle before a huge crowd on Friday night.

Saturday morning on the consolation side of the bracket Haileys first opponent was Nevaeh Nwachukwu from Saint Croix Falls.  With the score tied Hailey chose bottom in the second period.  From the bottom she set up and executed a perfect Peterson Roll to get the reversal and fall.  In the the third place match Hailey faced Shelly Bullman from Eau Clair North.  The match was close but in the third period Bullman caught up Hailey's arms and was able to earn the fall.

Placing fourth wasn't what she had hoped for but still a great showing.  Especially considering her limited time in practice and limited matches.  Hailey also played basketball this season showing what an exceptional athlete she is.  Can't wait to see what she can do next season.

Nora LeFerve competed in the 100 lb weight class.  Nora started with a nice win by fall over Raven Ringhand from Oregon.  In the second round Nora faced Ava Gardner from Marshfield.  Early in the match Nora was close but didn't secure a takedown which would have changed the complexion of the match.  Unable to get out from the bottom we chose to start neutral in the second and gave up another close takedown.  From there Nora became defensive the rest of the match giving up an 8-0 decision.  We knew it would be a tough match, and Garnder would eventually place third, but giving up the first takedown set the momentum in the wrong direction.  Nora worked hard to fend off Gardner but couldn't get any offense going.  In the consolation round Nora faced Aaliyah Zamora from Osseo Fairchild.  This was one of those matches that if we wrestled 10 times I think the outcome would be different 9 out of 10.  Nora got a little out of position then tried defending a takedown too long and got caught.  Definitely a match we'd like to get another shot at.

Not the tournament she wanted but still a great experience for Nora to see what the competion is and where she needs to improve.  This will fuel the fire and Nora will be back next year.

The boys wrestling tournament has been held in Madison for years and was typically run on 6 mats.  This year two mats were added for the girls division.  This is the first time the WIAA sponsored a separate girls division in Madison.  Girls wrestling is the fastest growing sport in the nation based on participation and I think the added girls division in Wisconsin was a huge success.  The WIAA posted that there were about 440 girls competing in last years state tournament which was held separately in LaCrosse.  This year over 790 girls competed in the tournament series which included the first ever girls sectional qualifier.  Hoping for even more next year with more girls tournaments and possibly even dual teams.

Thank you to everyone who supported our wrestlers this season and over the years including parents, teachers, school administration, past coaches, assistant coaches, family and friends.

Coach Englebert

2023 WIAA Individual State Results for Southern Door Girls

The Southern Door Eagles will look to make it 18 straight wins to close the regular season when they travel to Green Bay to take on the NEW Lutheran Blazers. 

Southern Door has not lost since before the winter break, when they fell to Cedarburg to make their record average at 3-3. Since then, their record has shot up to 20-3 and they claimed the second seed in the WIAA Division 3 playoffs. Drew Daoust still remains third in the state in scoring average with 32.4, only 3 points behind the state leader. The Eagles have done it as a team however, with multiple players contributing at multiple levels, including Lance LeGrave who has been a pleasant surprise for the Eagles this season. 

For NEW Lutheran, they are coming off of a blowout win over the Sevastopol Pioneers 84-25. The Blazers fell by three the last time these two teams faced off, as they felt the wrath of Drew Daoust’s second highest scoring game of his career, as he finished with 41. Tristian Lynch and Elijah Meerstein have been the models of consistency this season, and the Blazers will look to get that from them one last time this regular season. 

Tip from Green Bay is set for 2:00 P.M. 

Southern Door's Hailey Veeser will hit the podium no matter what after picking up another victory on Friday.

Veeser won her quarterfinal 15-11 before being pinned in the first period during her semifinal bout. She is guaranteed at least sixth place at 138 pounds. Meanwhile, Nora LeFevre followed up her opening round pin with two straight losses to get eliminated in her first trip to state in the first consolation round.

2023 WIAA Individual State Results for Southern Door Girls

The Southern Door wrestling contingent at the WIAA State Wrestling Tournament made a little history on Thursday while advancing to the second day of the tournament.

Both Nora LeFevre (100) and Hailey Veeser (138) won their first matches, becoming the first in state history to win matches at the newly sanctioned WIAA Girls State Wrestling Tournament. LeFevre lost her quarterfinal match by major decision in the quarterfinal round while Veeser won hers by decision to advance to the semifinals. Both girls will wrestle again on Friday.

2023 WIAA Individual State Results for Southern Door Girls

The Southern Door Eagles girls basketball team made huge strides in their performance this year compared to last season, and you can bet Ashlyn Delfosse made huge contributions to that. 

Southern Door was knocked off by the 9 seeded Algoma Wolves Tuesday night, ending their season in the first round. The Eagles and Delfosse however, are not viewing this as a down year. Southern Door finished the year at 14-11 overall and 9-7 in the Packerland conference, improving those records vastly from the past season. 

Delfosse herself improved as well, becoming a stronger three point shooter, improving her percentage by nearly 13%, going from 17.4% her freshman year, to a solid 30.3% this current season. That improvement also helped her increase in points per game this season, going up to 11 points per game. 

The real reason that Delfosse has gotten a larger spotlight as of late was the record she broke in their February 16th 67-39 win over NEW Lutheran. For 30 years the record of seven three-pointers made in a game stood tall in Southern Door school history. Although it had been close to being touched multiple times before, it was Delfosse who broke it with eight in a 26 point outburst. 

She talked about that feat before the matchup with Algoma Tuesday. 

The Eagles will have a bright future ahead of them for the next few seasons, as Delfosse and her teammates grow with their first year in the system of Head Coach Andy Bruess. 

You can listen to the whole interview with Ashlyn Delfosse here. 

The Southern Door Eagles were not able to overcome their second half struggles in the WIAA Division 4 Regional Quarterfinals, falling to Algoma 48-34 on U-102.1 Tuesday. 

The beginning of the game saw the two teams’ defenses stun each others’ offense, as the game was tied early on at 4-4 with 10:35 remaining in the first half. Allianna Dufek would finally get going in the post for the Eagles, giving them a lead towards the end of the half. 

Algoma however would answer before the halftime buzzer, with Brooke Mattson hitting a buzzer beating three as time expired to tie the game up at 18 going into the half. 

Allianna Dufek and Sierra Slaby would be the ones to lead the way for the respective teams in scoring in the first. 

Algoma would come out firing on all cylinders in the second half, as Ryley Zimmerman and Emily Kirchman would combine for a 12-0 Algoma run, as the Eagles were held scoreless for the first six minutes of the second half. 

Southern Door could not establish any post presence in the second half, and would commit some costly turnovers down the stretch leading to the 48-34 loss. 

Algoma will travel to #1 Crandon on Friday. 

Southern Door claimed their eighth Packerland Conference boys' basketball title in nine years with a 77-61 victory over Kewaunee on Monday night.

Both teams started slow offensively compared to their second-half outburst where the Eagles outscored the Storm 49-42. 

Drew Daoust continues to be an assassin offensively, leading the Eagles with 37 points, 27 of which came in the second half. Jared Hawkey added 18 points and Taylor Schaefer chipped in 11 points in the victory.

For the Storm, Payton Kohnle led the way with 17 points and Thomas Stangel added 15 points. Jordan Lamack and Sawyer Pribek also cracked double figures for the Storm 

The Southern Door Eagles girls basketball team will head into the first round of the WIAA playoffs winners of four straight as they prepare for a third matchup against the Algoma Wolves Tuesday. 

Southern Door has been able to do it multiple ways in their four game winning streak dating back to February 2nd, bringing their overall record to 14-10 coming into the game. Whether it was holding these Algoma Wolves to 40 points, or blowing out NEW Lutheran and scoring 67 points. The Eagles have also won two nail biters in their streak, beating Kewaunee on a game winner, and surviving Gibraltar 56-52. Allianna Dufek, Payton Gilbertson and Ashlyn Delfosse have been the difference so far this season, and will look to carry that into the postseason. 

The Algoma Wolves will enter the matchup with the Eagles at 11-13 overall and winners of two of their last three games. Ryley Zimmerman has been the headliner for the Wolves this season, joined by Emily Kirchman, who has come on strong as of late towards the end of the season. Algoma fought off a tough stretch of games midway through the year, losing six straight from January 16th to February 7th, many of those games being one possession games. 

These two teams have matched up twice this season, with the Eagles sitting at 2-0 in the season series with wins of 48-42 in Brussels and 47-40 in Algoma. Allianna Dufek was the leading scorer for the Eagles in both of those games, with Payton Gilbertson in double figures both times as well. 

Jacob Nate and Gary Barta will be on the call from Southern Door on U-102.1 and NEWRadioSportsNetwork.com. The pregame show is set for 6:45 with tip at 7:00 for the WIAA Girls Basketball Level One Playoffs. 

Congratulations to Sectional Champions Nora LeFevre and Hailey Veeser.  Both girls won their brackets and qualified for next week's Individual State Wrestling Tournament.  So exciting to be part of the first State Tournament to have a separate girls' division.  Traditionally the state tournament ran on six mats inside the Kohl Center in Madison.  This year they will be using eight mats, with two for each of the three boys' divisions and two for the girl's division.  The Tournament is always exciting, and adding the girls should make it even better.

Nora dropped to the 100lb weight class for the first time after wrestling the regular season at 114 and 107.  Nora was ranked #7 at 107, earning the top seed and a first-round bye.  In her semi-final match, Nora faced #7-ranked Megan Schuenemann from Plymouth.  Nora scored a first-period takedown, but Schuenemann earned an escape to keep it close at 2-1 going into the second.  In the second period, Nora scored a reversal and a near fall in the third to widen the gap.  In the finals, Nora faced #11 ranked Grace Holguin from Marinette.  In the finals, Nora hit her offense early, leading 5-0 before earning a pin in the second period.  

Hailey came into the Tournament unranked after joining the team late in the season.  Hailey's only experience before sectionals this season was winning her bracket at Green Bay Preble, where she faced Sydney Turner, who is also from Southern Door, in the finals.  Hailey wrestled through middle school but took the next two years off to play basketball.  Fortunately, she didn't forget her basics and is an excellent athlete.  In her final match, Hailey also built an early lead and dominated before getting the fall in the second period.

Sydney Turner made the finals with a third-period pin in the quarterfinals.  In the finals, she faced #1 ranked Brooke Schuenemann from Plymouth.  Sydney did her best but couldn't keep pace with Schuenemann.  Lilly Wrenn also wrestled well, winning her first match with a pin, but she lost her second match, which was close until the third period.

For the boy's side of the Tournament, Mason Motquin started us out by avenging a loss a few weeks ago to Conner Stephens from Seymour, winning by a major decision 12-4.  Unfortunately, after that, the quarterfinals did go well.  Wyatt Wilke 132 got caught fighting a takedown, Hayden Jeanquart lost a tough match 3-0, and Cody Nellis slipped, trying to pull his opponent back in bounds at the edge of the mat.  In the semi-final, Mason lost to eventual champion Huntley from Brillion and then lost a heartbreaker 9-8 on the consolation side.

After the sting of defeat numbs, the experience will be good for those not advancing.  For Cody, it was his last match in high school.  Not the ending he had hoped for, but he tried his best.  Cody plans to pursue a career as a firefighter next year, where his leadership skills should serve him well.  We'll miss his positive attitude in the practice room.   For the others, I know this experience will make them better.  Hopefully, this will give them the hunger to work hard and get to the state level next season.

Nora and Hailey will be leaving for Madison Thursday morning along with a great support network of coaches, teammates, family, and friends.  Weigh-ins start at 1:30, and the first round of wrestling at 3:00 Thursday afternoon.  Both girls are happy to have qualified but not satisfied with just making it.  Both are very good technical wrestlers and will show what they can do.

Taylor Schaefer and Lance LeGrave each chipped in seven points.

The Storm has won seven of their last nine games, including a palindromic 82-28 decision to Sevastopol on Friday night.

A senior night win is a must for any team, but with seven seniors for Southern Door, it was extra important. The Eagles got that done firmly with a 66-51 win over the Algoma Wolves on Tuesday night on 103.3 The Clipper. 

Drew Daoust came out firing in the first half from beyond the arc, having his best shooting performance of the season tonight against the Wolves. Within the first few minutes, Daoust and his teammate Jared Hawkey had the Eagles out and racing ahead of Algoma. Whether it was baskets underneath the hoop, or open threes, the Eagles were getting it done on both ends. 

Owen Robertson tried to keep the Wolves in the game early, but would not receive much help until later on in the game. Robertson and Parker Lischka would enter the break leading the way in scoring for Algoma with five each in a 16 point first half for the Wolves. 

Southern Door would enter halftime leading 35-16 led by Drew Daoust’s 19 points. 

The second half would be much of the same from the Southern Door side. Drew Daoust would find Matthew Malvitz multiple times for easy layups, and Daoust would end up finishing the game with 37 points, four away from his season high. 

Parker Lischka became a strong scoring option for the Wolves tonight as he led the way with 17 points on five total threes, four coming in the second half. 

Southern Door will next be in action on Friday when they make the trip to Gibraltar to take on the Vikings on U102.1 

With the playoff bracket right around the corner, the Southern Door Eagles will look to push their overall winning streak to 15 games when the Algoma Wolves come to Brussels Tuesday night. 

Southern Door has gone from a lackluster 3-3 start their first six games to rattling off wins pushing their record to 17-3. The Eagles did just sneak by in their last matchup against the Wolves of Algoma back on January 7th by a score of 59-54. Drew Daoust put on one of his best performances of the season, scoring 35 points on 59% shooting from the field. Taylor Schaefer is coming off of a 23 point outburst against Sturgeon Bay last Thursday, and will look to continue his scoring against the Wolves. 

Algoma enters their matchup against the Eagles at 7-13 after last nights make up win over the Sevastopol Pioneers. The Wolves have begun to find themselves in games down the stretch of the season, despite three straight losses. The losses come against teams with a combined Packerland record of 26-11 and are all in the top half of the conference. Their guard play has become the main focus of their offense, and they have been getting scoring from three different guards over 10 points in recent games. 

Gary Barta and Reece Robillard will be on the call from Brussels on 103.3 The Clipper, 96.7 WBDK HD-2, and NEWRadioSportsNetwork.com. The pregame show begins at 7:15 with tipoff set for 7:30 P.M. 

The Southern Door girls' basketball team will try to go for their third straight win as they visit Kewaunee Monday night. 

In Friday's 56-52 victory over Gibraltar, Alianna Dufek scored 12 of her 20 points in the first half. The Vikings and the Eagles would rely on their stars to essentially play an even second half with Southern Door's Callie Miller and Gibraltar's Andie Schar shouldering the load. Miller routinely would take the ball in from more than 30 feet out and draw a foul if not registering an assist or a basket of her own. She finished with 13 points, eight of which came after the break. Dufek and Miller were complemented by Payton Gilbertson who contributed 13 points.

The Storm had nine different players score but none more than seven points in their 56-32 loss to the Pioneers on Friday. Jade Kroll managed seven points and Lexi Hanrahan added five points in the loss against the conference leaders.

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