For the second year in a row, the Southern Door Eagles saw their season come to a close in the sectional semifinal, this time as a 71-57 defeat to the Bonduel Bears at Green Bay Southwest Thursday night.

The Eagles stood out in the early going of the game, holding the high-flying Bears offense to no field goals from the field for nearly the first five minutes of the game. Meanwhile, Caden Pierre, Lauden Berg, and Drew Daoust was able to guide the Eagles to a 10 point lead as they approached the 10 minute mark in the first half. Three pointers by Carter Moesch and Race Anvelink helped the Bears slowly whittle the lead down the stretch of the first half. Late turnovers by the Eagles allowed the Bears to take a lead in the closing minutes of the period to take a 34-31 advantage into the break.

In the second half, the Bears were able to outscore the Eagles 15-9 in the opening minutes to build a double-digit lead the would not relinquish for much of the period. Ryan Westrich took advantage of his size to score 17 of his team-high 25 points after the break as the Bears outscored the Eagles 37-26 in the second half. Daoust was more than able to match Westrich's output with 20 of his game-high 28 points in the second half. Pierre and Tyler Neinas were the only other Eagles to score in the frame, combining to score six points. In addition to Daoust's 28 points, Berg added 13 points and Pierre contributed 12 points, all of which came in the first half. Moesch scored 16 points and Anvelink poured in 13 points to complement Westrich in the Bears' win.

The Eagles finish the season 23-4, saying good bye to eight seniors that contributed to three consecutive Packerland Conference championships and two straight regional titles. Daoust's career ends with 3096 points, good for second all-time on the Wisconsin state high school scoring list.

The Southern Door Eagles and the Bonduel Bears look to continue their journey to Madison on Thursday when they two teams meet at Green Bay Southwest.

Both teams got to wait until Friday to start their WIAA Tournament action with the Eagles taking out St. Mary Catholic (74-60) and Algoma (76-62) while the Bears demolished Shiocton (87-50) and Oconto (70-49). Both teams suffered a late season loss to Roncalli, with the Jets soaring past the Eagles 78-66 and cruising through the Bears 70-47. 

Drew Daoust leads the Eagles in scoring, averaging 32.4 points per game and 32 points away from 3,100 points for his career. Caden Pierre (14.5 ppg) and Lauden Berg (13.5 ppg) complement him offensively. Averaging nearly 80 points per game, the Bears have five players that average double figures, paced by Quinn Wesenberg (17.0 ppg).

Tim Kowols and Bryan Mazur will have the call from Green Bay Southwest on U-102.1 beginning at 6:45 p.m. with the pregame show followed by the opening tip at 7 p.m.

After a scare at the beginning of the second half, the Southern Door Eagles were able to pull away late from their Packerland Conference rival Algoma Wolves to win their second straight regional title 76-62.

The Eagles jumped out to an early double-figure lead only to see the Wolves trim it down to a 32-28 deficit at halftime. The momentum the Wolves had built in the late stages of the first half carried over into the second half, as they would take a 40-38 lead over the Eagles. Drew Daoust would take over from there, helping get the game tied at 47 before the Eagles went on a 29-15 run to end the game.

Daoust led all scorers with 34 points, helping the Eagles to put the Wolves after halftime with 24 of his points coming in the second half. Caden Pierre added 18 points, and Tyler Neinas chipped in 16 points as the pair combined to knock down seven three-pointers in the game for the Eagles. Parker Lischka paced the Wolves with 26 points, helping his team stay close to the Eagles in the first half with 15 points. Chase Romdenne scored all 13 points in the second half, while Braeden Leist and Charlie Prokash each posted seven points.

According to the current WIAA brackets, the Eagles will play Bonduel on Thursday at Green Bay Southwest. Stay tuned to NEW Radio Sports Network for specific broadcast information.

The Southern Door Eagles boys basketball team will have a quick turnaround against a familiar opponent on Saturday after they beat St. Mary Catholic 74-60 on Friday's regional semi-final.

It was a tale of two halves for Eagles star Drew Daoust. He knocked down three threes en route to an 18-point first half to help pace the Eagles to a 35-23 lead at the break. Daoust then turned his attention into a defensive state of mind, challenging Preston Fields for much of the second half. It allowed Caden Pierre to shine, scoring 22 of his team-high 26 points after the break. Daoust's night ended with 23 points, while Lauden Berg pitched in 15 points. Fields scored 22 points, and Mason Uhlenbrauck added 18 points in the loss for the Zephyrs. 

The Eagles will return to action on Saturday night to host Algoma in the regional final. The Wolves upset Iola-Scandinavia 71-58 behind 17 points from Braden Leist and 16 points courtesy of Parker Lischka. The Eagles beat the Wolves twice during the Packerland Conference schedule, toppling them in Algoma 63-52 on January 3rd and blowing them out in Brussels 85-46 on February 15th. 

Bryan Mazur will have the call on 104.1 WRLU beginning at 6:45 p.m. with the pregame show followed by the opening tip at 7 p.m.

The road to Madison begins Friday for Southern Door when they welcome St. Mary Catholic for its regional semifinal game in Brussels.

The #2 Eagles have been idle since Drew Daoust broke the 3,000-point mark against Oconto in a 69-54 win. It was a comeback win that extended its winning streak to five games and finished off a perfect record in the Packerland Conference. While his scoring average of 32.8 ppg is a given, Daoust also leads the Eagles in rebounds (8.4 rpg) and assists (5.4 apg).

The #7 Zephyrs punched their ticket to Brussels with a 102-64 win over #7 Crivitz. Six players reached double figures in the win with Mason Uhlenbrauck leading the way with 26 points. While he is their leading scorer at 14.7 ppg, Preston Fields could be their best overall weapon as his scoring average (12.3 ppg) is second on the team and he leads the squad in rebounding (6.4 rpg) and assists (6.5 apg).

Bryan Mazur will have 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.
