The Southern Door Eagles boys' basketball team outscored their hosts by 20 points in the second half en route to a 71-52 win over the Oconto Blue Devils.

It was a see-saw battle for most of the first half as both Blue Devils and the Eagles took aim at each other's star players to control them, forcing other players to make plays. Kadin Baxter would take control for the Blue Devils as he scored 13 of his game-high 21 points in the first half, most of which came in the latter stages of the frame. Three-pointers made by Nic Pierre, Drew Daoust, Logan Jeanquart, and Jared Hawkey kept the score close with the Eagles only down one at the break. 

The Eagles came out firing offensively thanks to Jeanquart scoring 10 of his 13 points after the half and two other players scoring at least eight. Meanwhile, a switch to a 1-3-1 defensive zone caused havoc on the Blue Devils' offense that they would not be able to recover from. Daoust led the Eagles with 18 points with Taylor Schaefer (14) and Jeanquart also reaching double figures.

The Eagles will host Peshtigo in their next game on January 29th at 7:30 p.m.
