A third straight Packerland Conference title was clinched on Friday night as the Southern Door Eagles beat the Kewaunee Storm 85-71 in Brussels.  

 

Drew Daoust had a big night.  Just seconds into the game, he would hit a stepback three, which put his career total at the 2900 mark.  That was just the first of his game-leading 45 points.  He hit 8 total three-pointers and finished the night with 45 points.  Head Coach Josh Vandenbush said he wants to get Drew to the 3000 mark in the regular season, and after this game, he is just 58 shy of that mark. Three other Eagles finished in double digits as well.  Nick Beck contributed 14, Caden Pierre added 10, and Tyler Neinas did all his damage in the second half and finished with 11.

The Storm were also very hot from behind the arc in the game, making 12 threes as a team as well.  The leading scorer for Kewaunee was freshman Diesel Bosdeck, who hit 7 from behind the arc on their way to his 23 points.  Avery Jerabek was just behind him with 20 points, 15 of which came in the second half.  The Storm would make a push late in the second half to climb within six while Daoust was on the bench after picking up his fourth foul, but would not be able to keep up once Drew came back in.

 

The victory clinched the title for the Eagles with two games to go in the regular season.  They play NEW Lutheran on Monday and Oconto on Thursday. The Oconto vs Southern Door game will be broadcast on U102.1

The Storm also enter selection weekend with 2 games left.  Monday's game is hosting Sturgeon Bay before they wrap up the regular season on the road versus Algoma.
