Familiar Opponent as Clippers Begin Playoffs on U102.1

The Sturgeon Bay Clippers boys begin their playoff run on the road Tuesday night against the Peshtigo Bulldogs, a conference opponent. Even though the Clippers finished better than the Bulldogs in the Packerland Conference, the Bulldogs earned the higher seed. The Clippers finished 10-14 overall and 8-8 in conference, while the Bulldogs, who also finished 10-14 overall, were just 6-10 in the Packerland.

 

The teams met twice this year, each winning on their home court.  Peshtigo won 48-60 in an early December matchup in which the Bulldogs' Dominik Baxter scored 27 points, and the Clippers' Jackson Starr scored 18 points. When the Clippers hosted, they outscored the Bulldogs 25-19 in the second half, forcing overtime.  In overtime, the Clippers outpaced the Bulldogs for a 59-56 victory.  Jackson Starr again led the way for the Clippers with 19.  Benjamin Ash added 15, and Sam Fruzyna chipped in 9.
