The Southern Door boys' basketball just could not generate enough offense Tuesday night in its 62-56 loss to Kewaunee.

 

The game was as snug as both teams' defenses in the first half. Drew Daoust scored 18 of his team-high 24 points in the first half, but the rest of the team could only generate 10 additional points as they entered the break down by a single point. Neither team was able to extend their lead by more than three points to break away from each other.

 

That changed in the second half when the Storm registered back-to-back three-pointers from Ben Heim and Cameron Cullen off of turnovers deep in the Eagles' defensive zone to build an eight-point lead at the halfway point in the second half. Nic Pierre and Jared Hawkey, who each reached double figures in the contest, would once again get the Eagles to within a couple of points only to have the Storm hold off the surge. Heim would go on to score a game-high 28 points while Cullen chipped in 14 points of his own to lead the Storm to victory.

 

The Eagles return to action on Friday when they face NEW Lutheran on the road.
