Sturgeon Bay athletic director Jon Dupuis provided insight into the upcoming spring sports season in a recent interview.

 

Dupuis first discussed a fundraiser the softball team will host on April 28, with proceeds benefiting Door Cancer for cancer research. Track and field athletes have recently been practicing indoors due to weather conditions, but are looking ahead to an indoor meet at UW-Oshkosh over spring break. Baseball begins next Monday, with participation numbers appearing low, raising questions about whether the program can field a JV team. Girls' soccer will have a new head coach in Shane Olson. Michael Bryfczynski, who coached the girls' golf team last year, will now coach both the boys and girls teams.

The Packerland conference has revealed its all-conference teams for basketball and wrestling. Between both sports, Sturgeon Bay had 6 Clippers represented. 

 

Earning all-conference first team honors for wrestling were Spencer Madsen (Senior), Julian Langer (Senior), and Tiani Lemieux (Senior). Madsen was also named the Wrestler of the Year, finishing the season with 49 wins to only 2 losses and a 4th place finish at the WIAA State Tournament. Madsen earned 23 of his wins via pin and 17 from tech falls. Langer ended his season with a record of 33-16 with 21 pins and 9 techfalls. This season, Langer never lost to a Packerland opponent. Lemieux, representing the girls’ team, had an impressive season, going 40-7 with an outstanding 38 pins.

 

Making all-conference teams for basketball were Ben Ash (Junior), Sam Fruzyna (Junior), and Regan Kasten (Senior). Kasten earned 1st-team honors; she led the Lady Clippers with 9.7 points and 13.1 rebounds per game. Ash was named to the second team, averaging 16.8 points, 4.2 rebounds, 1.8 assists, and a steal per game. Fruzyna was an honorable mention, putting up 10.5 points, 5.3 rebounds, 2.8 assists, and a steal per game.
 

Sturgeon Bay/Sevastopol's Spencer Madsen officially completed his final season of high school wrestling with yet another honor.

 

Madsen was named the Packerland Conference Wrestler of the Year after going undefeated in conference duals on the year. The UW-Parkside signee made plenty of history along the way to his 4th place finish at the WIAA Individual State Wrestling Tournament, including setting the program's records for career wins, pins, and takedowns. 

 

Madsen was one of four All-Conference selections for SBS, the second most behind Packerland Conference champion Kewaunee's five honorees.

The Sturgeon Bay Clippers saw their season come to an end Tuesday night, falling 59-57 to the Menominee Nation Eagles in a WIAA Division 3 regional matchup.

As the No. 10 seed, Sturgeon Bay (11-14) hit the road to take on the No. 7 seed Eagles (14-11), and the game played out exactly like a postseason battle should. It was tight, physical, and decided in the final minutes.

It was a back-and-forth contest throughout, with neither team able to create steady separation. The Clippers leaned on their senior leadership in key stretches, matching runs and keeping themselves within striking distance late into the second half.

Trailing 59-57 in the closing moments, Sturgeon Bay fought for one final opportunity. However, the Clippers were unable to convert an opportunity when the horn sounded.

Despite the loss, Sturgeon Bay showed the resilience that defined its season, earning 11 wins and securing a postseason berth.

 The senior class played a major role in that effort, providing experience and stability throughout the year. 

Menominee Nation advances in the Division 3 bracket, while the Clippers close the book on the 2025-26 season just two points shy of a regional semifinal appearance.

The Sturgeon Bay boys’ basketball team is prepping for this Tuesday as they are traveling to face the Menominee Nation Eagles for the WIAA Sectionals first round. 

 

The Eagles are the No. 7 seed; their last outing saw them beat Shiocton 80-77.

 

The Clippers enter as the No.10 seed and are fresh off a nail-biting 55-53 victory over Oconto. Paving the way for the Clippers was Ben Ash with 22 points, with his final points coming in the winding seconds of regulation, down 1 point. Ash pump faked a three, got his defender jumping, then put up the shot as the buzzer went off, winning the game for the Clippers. Jaxzen Bleck chipped in 16 points, and Siggy Hansen added 12. 

 

The winner will go on to face the No. 2 seed, Seymour, on Friday, 3/6.

 

The tip-off is at 7 p.m.
