Clippers can't push brakes on Truckers in season finale on U-102.1

The Sturgeon Bay Clippers would get the game to within single digits several times during the game, but could never get closer as they eventually lost to the Clintonville Truckers 58-39.

 

The Clippers were put in a hole early as Jack Yaeger and Sam Wegener hit their shots for the Truckers while frustrating their visitor with a defense that yielded no points in the game's first four minutes. The defensive game plan centered around stopping Calvin Richard, which appeared to work for the Truckers as the senior scored no points in the first half and just four points from the free throw line for the whole game. Danny Lodl hit some outside shots in the first half to lead the Clippers with six points as they were down 30-18 at the break.

The  Clippers would get the deficit down to single digits several times in the second half, only to see the Truckers hit tough shot after tough shot to keep the Clippers at bay. Lodl would end up the only Clipper in double digits with 10 points; Jackson Starr scored seven points, and Hayden Tracy added six. Yaeger led all scorers with 26 points, Sam Wegener chipped in 10 points, and Jonathan Scherschel and Kade Rosenow each contributed 10 points.

Head coach Zach Goblisch expressed his pride in his team after the game, pointing out the adversity they faced and the accolades they collected along the way. The Truckers will head to Brussels to take on Southern Door in the Regional Final, a game that will air on 96.7  WBDK.
