The Sturgeon Bay Clippers struggled to keep pace with the Oconto Blue Devils Thursday night, losing their contest 97-67 in the Packerland Conference boys' basketball season opener.

The Blue Devils erupted for 51 points in the first half, setting the stage for potentially crossing the century mark later in the game. Carter Koch scored 21 points of his game-high 40 points in the opening period to set the pace for the game that left the Clippers chasing a lead for much of the night. Jackson Starr (20 pts) and Calvin Richard (25 pts) did what they could to keep the Clippers in it, but the Blue Devils had three other players, Trenton Hartman, Cooper Campshure and Jackson Martin, crack double-figures. Danny Lodl added 10 points for the Clippers in the loss.

The Sturgeon Bay Clippers girls' basketball team heads to Peshtigo Friday night in search of their win of the season.

The Clippers were sunk by Oconto's defense in a tough 59-25 loss on Tuesday that saw them score only nine points in the second half. Tori Alger was the only Clippers player to reach double figures with 10 points, while Dasha Yeltysheva and Cady Carlson each registered six points in the loss.

The Bulldogs opened their Packerland slate with a 51-44 overtime loss to Southern Door that saw them come back to tie the game in regulation. Audra Bauman scored 13 points, and Maysen Brissette added 10 in the defeat.

Tip-off is set for 7:30 p.m.
