Daoust chases 3,000 points as Eagles host Blue Devils on U-102.1

Drew Daoust could become the second player in Wisconsin State High School Basketball history to reach 3,000 points on Thursday when the Packerland Conference champion Southern Door Eagles host Oconto in the regular season finale.

 

Averaging more than 32.7 ppg, Daoust sits just 23 points away from the milestone, allowing him to join Wausaukee's Anthony Pieper in the exclusive 3,000-point club. He has scored at least 30 points four times in his last five games, including two games of 40-plus. The team is 4-1 on that stretch, with a loss to state-ranked Roncalli, the lone blemish on the resume. They clinched the Packerland Conference last week with a win over Kewaunee.

 

The Eagles will face another all-time scorer when the Blue Devils come to town. Carter Koch passed Laken James earlier this year for the all-time scoring mark in school history for boys and girls basketball. He enters the contest with 1,765 points in his career, averaging 17.6 ppg and over 20 ppg the last years. The Blue Devils are 18-5 on the season and fourth place in the Packerland Conference, having won their last eight games.

 

Jacob Nate and Bryan Mazur will be on the call on U-102.1 beginning at 6:45 p.m. with the pregame show followed by the opening tip at 7 p.m.
