The Southern Door Eagles boys' basketball team hopes to start a streak of a different kind Tuesday when they open the WIAA Division 3 Playoffs against New Holstein.

Led Drew Daoust (19.5 ppg, 3.4 ppg), Taylor Schaefer (10.1 ppg, 6.5 rpg), and Jared Hawkey (9.2 ppg, 8.9 rpg, 4.0 apg), the Eagles had won eight of their previous 10 games with a chance at claiming a share of the Packerland crown in the final week.
The Huskies only have two wins to their credit this season with their last one coming against Saint Lawerence Seminary on January 22nd by a score of 68-55. They are led by Phil Casper, who averages 12.6 points and 8.1 rebounds per game.
