Eagles Host Storm with Conference Title in Reach

 

Friday night's matchup in Brussels between the Kewaunee Storm and the Southern Door Eagles could determine the Packerland Conference Champion for 2025.  The Eagles, who remain undefeated in the conference, have a 2-game lead over the Storm with just 3 games to play.  Algoma is the other team in contention but need help as they trail the Eagles by 2.5 games.

 

 

This is the second matchup between the two as the first game which came back on January 14th in Kewaunee was won by the Eagles 64-61. The first half saw a defensive struggle, with both teams making life tough for each of the offenses.  Southern Door led by as many as eight points, but the Storm battled back to trail just 27-25 at halftime.

 

The second half was a see-saw affair, with the Eagles taking a five-point lead with under two minutes to play, only to see the Storm cut it to two points with under four seconds to play. After Eagles’ Lauden Berg split two free throws to make it 64-61, a desperation three-pointer from 30 feet by Connor Kilgore just missed the mark for the Storm, and the Eagles prevailed.

 

Jacob Nate will have the call from Brussels starting with the pregame show beginning at 6:45, followed by tipoff at 7:00.
