The Southern Door boys basketball team will keep their toes in non-conference waters for another night when they host Marinette on Monday.

 

The Eagles offense and defense came out swinging in the second half, preventing the Spartans from putting a single point on the board for the first 10 minutes of the half while on a 14-0 run.  During the run, Lauden Berg would score nearly all of his game high 18 points, helping cut the game to a much closer 31-34 tally.  Rhyker Lohrey and Talon Mueller each added 9 in the game. The Spartans would finally get back in to the scoring column with a 3 by Bryce Piesler.  The teams would trade buckets from that point on until in the final 2 minutes, the Spartan defense began forcing turnovers, and thanks to early foul trouble blew the game back open to its eventual 56-42 final.

 

The Marines saw a four-game skid snapped when they beat the Pioneers 63-50. Connor Eastman played a signficant role in that decision, scoring 17 of his game-high 28 points after the break with Kaden Ducane and Max Jacobson also reaching double figures.

 

Tip-off is set for 7 p.m.
