The Southern Door Eagles opened the 2021-22 high school basketball season with a hard-fought loss to the Sheboygan Falls Falcons 69-54 in Brussels.  The game was close until the final minutes when the Falcons pulled away to the double-digit victory.    The Eagles held a slim 27-26 at halftime before being outscored by Sheboygan Falls 69-54. Drew Daoust led the Eagles with 20 points while Taylor Schaefer chipped in 12 more.   Southern Door (0-1) will now have a week to get ready for the Denmark Vikings in a non-conference road game next Tuesday.

The Roncali Jets topped the Southern Door Eagles in non-conference girls basketball action Tuesday night 45-30 in Manitowoc.  The Eagles were led by Ashlyn Delfosse with 14 points and Paige Olson tallied eight more, but it was not enough to overcome the Jets on their home court.  Roncalli was led by Ellie Jageman who scored a game-high 18 points in the victory. 

Southern Door School District is on the search for a new girls' basketball coach.

Jason Shimon turned in his letter of resignation this week, indicating to the district that he is stepping away due to health concerns. The district thanks Shimon for his years on the job and wish him the best. 

The search for an interim head coach has already begun. Shimon was 15-6 last year, leading the Eagles to the WIAA Regional Semifinals. The Eagles lost to Shiocton in their season opener on Tuesday 59-34 behind 12 points from Ashlyn Delfosse and 11 points from Payton Gilbertson.

The Eagles went 13-3 in the Packerland Conference and a 15-6 record overall. They made it to the WIAA Regional Semifinal where they fell to Brillion 57-43. That's where Shiocton fell in the playoffs last year as they lost to St. Mary Catholic to finish off the year at 10-11. They finished in the middle of the pack of the Central Wisconsin Conference with a 5-6 record.

The opening tip is set for 7:30 p.m.
