The Sturgeon Bay Clippers boys basketball team will take to their homecourt again when they take on the Algoma Wolves Thursday night.
The Clippers will enter the game against Algoma with a 4-7 overall record, as they will be coming off of a loss to the Kohler Blue Bombers 102-78. Isaak Aune did his usual work in the teams win, as he scored 32 in his effort to will the Clippers to a win. Sturgeon Bay will gladly get back into Packerland conference play, as they have gone 2-4 out of the conference, and 2-3 in the Packerland, and will look to get back to .500.
Algoma is fresh off of a blowout win themselves, as they defeated Gresham Community 88-18. Four Wolves scorers finished in double digits, as they were led by senior forward Kaden Vardon who scored 29 for a season-high. The Wolves have seemed to figure some things out through their past six games. Between two seventy or more point outputs, or keeping games close against top Packerland powerhouses, the Wolves could be ripe for a second half turnaround.
The game Thursday night will be in remembrance of late Sturgeon Bay Coach Jim Benesh. Coach Benesh will be honored before the game.
