The Sturgeon Bay volleyball team looks to keep a season-long winning streak going on Thursday when they play at home against Gibraltar.

The Clippers' winning streak includes three Packerland wins against Oconto (3-1), NEW Lutheran (3-0), and Kewaunee (3-1).

The Vikings saw Chloe Alexander hit a major milestone earlier this week with 1000 assists, but they saw their season-long conference losing streak continue with a 3-1 loss to Algoma in their last match.   

The opening serve is scheduled for 7 p.m.

The success of the DCU girls' high school swim team continues with their conference win against Marinette on Thursday, September 21st, and their second-place finish at the Plymouth Panther Invite on Saturday, September 23rd.

The team continues to remain undefeated in the Bay Conference for the season. They have yet to score below 5th place at invitationals as well.

Senior Cassie Rankin (SEV)  finished 1st overall at the Panther Invite in the 200-yard freestyle and 3rd overall in the 500-yard freestyle. She was the top scorer for DCU as well, awarding the team 36 overall points. The next top scorer was senior Dancia Neville (SDHS) with her 1st-place finish in the 100-yard breaststroke and 4th-place finish in the 200-yard individual medley, scoring 35 points for the team. The remaining seniors on the team also had success including Natalia Michalski’s (SBHS) finishes in the 50-yard freestyle and 100-yard freestyle scoring 26 overall points. Aurora Breci (SEV) scored 19 points and Paula Wienke (SBHS) scored 7 points. The team will take a short break but it will be back in competition at Shawano High School on Thursday, October 5th.  

The Sturgeon Bay golf team will play in its last event of the season on Tuesday at West De Pere.

Bonduel, Green Bay N.E.W. Lutheran, Oconto, Seymour, Shawano Community, Sturgeon Bay, Winneconne, and Xavier will also compete in the meet that begins at 10 a.m.

The Sturgeon Bay Clippers soccer team needed just over an hour to continue their Packerland Conference winning streak, beating Kewaunee 8-0 in 63 minutes.

Aldo Rangle led the assault with four goals while Will Estes, Taylor Laughlin, Kayden Klotz, and Ben Stephens each had one goal.

The Clippers will now wait until the weekend to play again when they battle Cedarburg, Rufus King, and Racine Horlick in a quadrangular beginning at 5 p.m. in Cedarburg. The Storm will try to match their early season success against NEW Lutheran when they host the Blazers on Thursday at 4:30 p.m.

The Sturgeon Bay Clippers continue the Homecoming week celebrations as they come away victorious 20-6 victory over the visiting Oconto Blue Devils on U102.1.  Each quarter of the game saw a single score, thanks in part to the Clipper's defense turning the Blue Devils away just inches short of the endzone in the second quarter after a first and goal from inside the 5-yard line.

Each of the three scores for the Clippers came through the air. After a leaping 3rd down catch by Patrick Haese extended the drive, Danny Lodl would find Kordel Anderson in the first quarter from 24 yards out to open up the scoring.  Eli Schuster would add the extra point giving the Clippers the 7-0 lead.  In the second quarter, Lodl would find Bryce Plzak for a 45-yard touchdown. The extra point was blocked leading to a 13-0 halftime score.

Oconto would shift players around in the second half, moving Cooper Campshure to receiver instead of Quarterback, and moving Kyle Bowman up into the QB, from running back.  The opening drive of the half saw success when Oconto's Dominic Taylor would score on an 11-yard carry, cutting the lead to 13-6.  Oconto would recover an onside kick catching the Clippers off guard, but the Clippers' defense would prevent any more Oconto scores.  

Bryce Plzak would add a second touchdown to cap the scoring with a 75-yard touchdown reception in the fourth quarter which would send the Clippers happily into what is left of their Homecoming festivities with a 20-13 victory, and a 3-1 conference, 4-2 overall record.  

The Clippers will be on the road the rest of their regular season, starting with a trip to Kewaunee on September 29th in a game that will be broadcast on 104.1 WRLU.

The Sturgeon Bay Clippers soccer team put on a passing clinic on Thursday as they plotted ways to get through the Peshtigo defense in a 3-0 victory.

The Bulldogs were determined to not let the Clippers' skill overmatch them, but the Clippers were able to poke holes in their defense over time. Ethan DeNamur registered the game's first tally 12 minutes and Carter Schultz was able to enter the conversation just before halftime with a goal in the 39th minute. Zach Olson would deliver an insurance goal in the second half, finding the back of the net during the match's 60th minute.

Sturgeon Bay's Julia Kurek's personal record helped her hold her own against bigger competition at Thursday's Bremser Invitational in Mishicot.

Kurek covered the course in a personal-best 20:03 to take place third place overall and first place among her Clippers teammates.
