After a scare at the beginning of the second half, the Southern Door Eagles were able to pull away late from their Packerland Conference rival Algoma Wolves to win their second straight regional title 76-62.
The Eagles jumped out to an early double-figure lead only to see the Wolves trim it down to a 32-28 deficit at halftime. The momentum the Wolves had built in the late stages of the first half carried over into the second half, as they would take a 40-38 lead over the Eagles. Drew Daoust would take over from there, helping get the game tied at 47 before the Eagles went on a 29-15 run to end the game.
Daoust led all scorers with 34 points, helping the Eagles to put the Wolves after halftime with 24 of his points coming in the second half. Caden Pierre added 18 points, and Tyler Neinas chipped in 16 points as the pair combined to knock down seven three-pointers in the game for the Eagles. Parker Lischka paced the Wolves with 26 points, helping his team stay close to the Eagles in the first half with 15 points. Chase Romdenne scored all 13 points in the second half, while Braeden Leist and Charlie Prokash each posted seven points.
According to the current WIAA brackets, the Eagles will play Bonduel on Thursday at Green Bay Southwest. Stay tuned to NEW Radio Sports Network for specific broadcast information.
