A 20-point lead heading into the second half all but guaranteed the Southern Door boys' basketball team's fate in the Preble Holiday Tournament, beating Milwaukee Washington 71-49.

That gap was courtesy of Drew Daoust, who scored 20 of his game-high 32 points in the opening frame to give the Eagles a 41-21 lead at halftime. Rudolph Baker gave the Eagles' defense all they could handle in the second half, registering 22 of his team-high 31 points. Each team had one other player reach double digits to complement their high scorer, with Caden Pierre scoring 11 points for the Eagles and Qashawn Huffman adding 11 points for the Purgolders.

The Eagles will now play Mosinee in the championship game after they beat the host Green Bay Preble Hornets 84-63. The Indians have three players averaging double digits, led by Keagen Jirschele's 21.3 ppg. Landen Thomer is averaging a double-double with 16.9 ppg and 15.5 rpg.
