Gibraltar Football Head Coach Mike Peck was selected to be the head coach of the WFCA 8-Player All Star Game, assisted by another Gibraltar coach, Tom Sawyer. 

Peck and Sawyer will coach the South 8-Player team, who will take on the North team. Peck led Gibraltar to a Peninsula conference, undefeated regular season, and a first overall seed in the WIAA 8 Player Postseason this season. The Vikings dominated the All-Peninsula Conference list, having 13 nominations within 1st, 2nd, and Honorable Mention lists. Gibraltar would finish their season with a loss to Lena/St. Thomas Aquinas 30-21. 

The 8-Player game of the WFCA All-Star Game will be played on Friday, July 14th at 6:00 P.M. at Titans Stadium at UW-Oshkosh. Player nominations for all of the games will begin in January, with selections being announced in February. 

The Peshtigo Bulldogs boys' basketball team used a combination of zone defenses and strong post-play to frustrate the Gibraltar Vikings in a 51-29 loss Tuesday night in Packerland Conference action. 

The Vikings only made nine shots from the field in the game, which equaled the number of free throws they made in the contest. The two teams went back and forth early, but the Bulldogs' Kaine Fort and Will McMahon scored the team's first 12 points and combined to score 20 of the team's 29 points in the first half. As important as they were on offense, they were equally effective on defense. Fort forced the Vikings' Nathan Merkel and limited him to no points. McMahon matched up the Vikings' Jake Schar, who scored just eight points on the night on two made field goals and three free throws. Braden Sitte scored six points while Will Lecy, Carl Burgess, and Marshall Maltby each had four points in the loss.

Fort scored a game-high 17 points for the Bulldogs while Landon Beyer (12 points) and McMahon (10 points) each reached double figures. 

The Vikings are now off until after the  New Year when they restart the season with a four-game homestand.

The Gibraltar boys' basketball team will hit the road for the first time in nearly a week and a half on Tuesday as they visit Peshtigo.

Thanks to scheduling quirks and a weather-related cancellation, the Vikings have not played since they lost to NEW Lutheran 79-41 on December 9th. Carl Burgess was the only Vikings player to reach double figures with 10 points. Jake Schar, who was matched up against Lynch for most of the night, registered eight points, while Braden Sitte and Nathan Merkel each pitched in six points in the loss. Head coach Travis Ward says he is happy with how his team has been playing with some big pieces missing, but they have not been able to knock down enough baskets early in games.

The Bulldogs boast a 6-1 record and a perfect 3-0 mark in the Packerland Conference. Kaine Fort scored 18 points and grabbed 16 rebounds in their 62-43 win over Oconto Falls last Saturday. Fort is leading the Bulldogs in scoring (15.9 ppg) and rebounding (13.4 rpg) through the season's first seven games.

Tim Kowols will have the call from Peshtigo on U-1021 and NEWRadioSportsNetwork.com beginning at 7:15 p.m. with the pregame show followed by the opening tip at 7:30 p.m.

The Gibraltar girls' basketball team had one of their best offensive outputs of the season, but it was not enough in their 73-57 loss to Peshtigo.

The Bulldogs hit six three-pointers in the first half as they took a 43-23 lead into the break. The Vikings would return the favor in the second half, outscoring the Bulldogs 34-30 in the second half. 

For the Vikings, it was Andie Schar who had her breakout performance of the season with 21 points. Mikala Gorham added 12 points and Colleen Carlisle scored 10 points in the loss. 

The Bulldogs had four players reach double figures, including 20 points from Akira Smalls and 17 points from Brooklyn Phillips.

U-1021 will broadcast the Vikings' game next Thursday at Sevastopol with Tim Kowols on the call beginning at 7:15 p.m. with the pregame show followed by the tip at 7:30 p.m.

The Gibraltar Vikings girls basketball team will take on another team from around the bay as they host the Peshtigo Bulldogs Friday night. 

Gibraltar will try to fare better against Peshtigo than they did at Oconto, as they fell 67-33. Andie Schar led the Vikings in that one, as she did all last season as well. A six game losing streak will look to be snapped by Gibraltar against the Bulldogs, who they fell to twice last season in both matchups. 

Peshtigo is coming off of an overtime loss to Algoma where they came back from 7 down at halftime to tie the game up. Jaci Tonn, Allison Peters and Akira Smalls were all in double digits in the loss, but helped the Bulldogs to the 54 points scored in the game. 

Tip from Gibraltar is set for 7:30. 

The Gibraltar Vikings will be warm hosts to the Oconto Blue Devils on a cold Thursday night as the two teams will face off in boys basketball action. 

Gibraltar has been slow to begin the season, who are still ravaged by injuries to some key rotational players and even some starters. Jake Schar has been the leader of the Vikings so far this season, with some solid contributions from guard Carl Burgess as well. Schar has started strong, averaging 20.2 points per game so far this season, towards the top of scoring for the conference. 

Oconto has won their last two games after falling to Sturgeon Bay 74-70 in conference play. The Blue Devils are led by their two playmakers, Kadin Baxter and Carter Koch. Wins over Algoma and Menominee Indian could be enough to get the Blue Devils back on track, as they look to make it three straight against Gibraltar. 

Tip is scheduled for 7:30 from Gibraltar. 

Long-scoring droughts spelled big troubles for the Gibraltar girls' basketball team as they lost to Oconto 67-33 in Packerland Conference action.

The first half featured just 10 points for the Vikings' offense while the Blue Devils' Addisyn Viestenz sliced her way through the defense, scoring 13 of her game-high 17 points in the opening frame. 

The second half saw more balanced scoring from both line-ups as the coaches went deep into their bench with the Blue Devils holding a 30-plus point lead. Andie Schar ended the game scoring nine of her team-high 12 points after the break while Betsy Lecy hit two more three-pointers to end her evening with nine points. Viestenz received complementary play from Rylie Shallow's nine points, Natalie Schlueter's eight points, and seven points from Alyse Viestenz and Gracie Simon.

The Vikings dropped to 0-6 on the season including 0-3 in the Packerland Conference. Their next game is on Friday against Peshtigo. U-1021 will broadcast the Vikings' game next Thursday when they play at Sevastopol.

The Gibraltar girls' basketball team hit the road again Tuesday night to face Oconto in Packerland Conference action.

The Vikings are still looking for the first win of the season after falling to state-ranked Wabeno-Laona on Saturday 62-25. Andie Schar made four of the Vikings' six made shots from the field to lead the team with nine points. Colleen Carlisle added six points in the loss for the Vikings. Despite the lack of wins, head coach Devin Thomas is proud of his team's improvement since last season when a late-season victory over Sturgeon Bay was their only one of the year.

Listen to our interview with head coach Devin Thomas here

The Blue Devils lost Division 1 recruit Lianna Baxter to graduation but have seemed to replace her with freshman Madilyn Thomson. She has proved to be a nice complement to Addisyn Viestenz with her 13.7 points per game and 8.6 rebounds. Viestenz leads the team with nearly 19 points per game and she is in the top three for rebounds and assists.

Tim Kowols will have the action live on U-1021 and NEWRadioSportsNetwork.com beginning at 7:15 p.m. with the tip-off at 7:30 p.m.

The Gibraltar girls' basketball team faced the #7 Wabeno/Laona Rebels and could not keep up in a 62-25 loss.

The Vikings were placed in a 38-10 hole to begin the second half thanks to balanced scoring throughout the Rebels' lineup. The Rebels finished with five players scoring at least eight points.

Andie Schar made four of the Vikings' six made shots from the field to lead the team with nine points. Colleen Carlisle added six points in the loss for the Vikings.

The Vikings will play at Oconto on Tuesday in a game that can be heard on U-1021 and NEWRadioSportsNetwork.com.

The Gibraltar girls' basketball team hopes to have success similar to the boys' squad on Saturday when they face Wabeno-Laona at 11:30 a.m. Saturday.

The 10-point deficit at the end of the half was still there at the end of the game, but Gibraltar's 43-33 loss to NEW Lutheran does not tell the whole story. The Vikings would tie the game up in the final 90 seconds but could not generate the points and the stops needed to cross the threshold. Head coach Devin Thomas said afterward that they "turned the ball over too many times with a minute left and couldn’t take it to the end." Mikala Gorham scored 13 points to lead the Vikings, while Andie Schar and Betsy Lecy each added six points. 

Led by Rylee Yaeger's 12 points per game, the Rebels are 6-2 on the season. Their second loss was their most recent game, a slim 48-46 loss on Monday to Crandon after having a five-point halftime lead.

The offensive power of Tristian Lynch and Elijah Meerstein was simply too much for the Gibraltar defense as NEW Lutheran took the game 79-41.

The Vikings and the Blazers went back and forth in the first few minutes of the game, only to see the home team put the clamps down defensively. A 10-point lead quickly turned into a 20-point lead as Lynch poured in 17 of his game-high 25 points in the first half and Meerstein added 12 of his 23 points in the frame as well. The Vikings got plenty of good looks in the game, but the success they enjoyed shooting the ball in the Blazers' gym in years past evaded them Friday night. Carl Burgess was the only Vikings player to reach double figures with 10 points. Jake Schar, who was matched up against Lynch for most of the night, registered eight points while Braden Sitte and Nathan Merkel each pitched in six points in the loss.  Zachary Wendland scored eight points on the night for the Blazers, including a two-handed dunk to end Friday's proceedings with a bang. 

The Vikings look to regroup ahead of their next matchup against Oconto at home on December 15th.

The 10-point deficit at the end of the half was still there at the end of the game, but Gibraltar's 43-33 loss to NEW Lutheran does not tell the whole story.

The Vikings would tie the game up in the final 90 seconds but could not generate the points and the stops needed to cross the threshold. Head coach Devin Thomas said afterward that they "turned the ball over too many times with a minute left and couldn’t take it to the end." 

Mikala Gorham scored 13 points to lead the Vikings, while Andie Schar and Betsy Lecy each added six points.  Ingrid Beaumont led all scorers with 15 points, and Ebony Sinclair helped NEW Lutheran with the game with a 13-point performance.

The next Gibraltar game will be on Tuesday at Oconto, which will be featured on the NEW Radio Sports Network. The broadcast will be on U-1021 and NEWRadioSportsNetwork.com beginning at 7:15 p.m. followed by the opening tip at 7:30 p.m.

The Gibraltar Vikings boys' basketball team heads to Green Bay on Friday to battle NEW Lutheran in Packerland Conference action.

Jake Schar scored 12 points and two others at least seven, but they could not slow down the Kewaunee Storm in their 67-46 loss on Tuesday in Fish Creek. At 23.2 points per game, Schar is responsible for more than half of the Vikings' 52.2 per game in the early going.

Honorable Mention All-State player Tristian Lynch is averaging 22.3 points on the season, but strong support from Elijah Meerstein (18.0 ppg) and Jack Henschel (9.8 ppg) has helped the Blazers jump out to a 3-1 overall record, including a 2-0 Packerland mark. The Blazers beat Algoma earlier in the week 64-45. 

Tim Kowols and Jacob Nate will have the call on U-1021 and NEWRadioSportsNetwork.com beginning at 7:15 p.m. with the pregame show followed by the tip-off at 7:30 p.m.

The Gibraltar Vikings girls basketball team is set to host the NEW Lutheran Blazers Thursday night in Packerland Conference play. 

Gibraltar is 0-3 on the season, but have put up some strong showings even with the loss. The Vikings fell to the Kewaunee Storm 55-29 in their last time hitting the court, but hung in with the Hilbert Wolves 46-42. Andie Schar scored 9 points in her debut on the season after missing the first two games. Mikala Gorham has led the Vikings in scoring in Schar’s absence, but getting healthy will help Gibraltar get into the win column. 

NEW Lutheran sits at 2-3 on the season so far, with their most recent win coming against the Sturgeon Bay Clippers 59-45. Ebony Sinclair and Lexie Meerstein have been the leaders in scoring so far this season through the first five games, as the Sophomores have stepped into a big role. The Blazers went 2-0 against the Vikings last season. 

Tip is scheduled for 7:30 in Gibraltar. 

A second-half run by Gibraltar took them to a 58-45 victory over Wabeno-Laona on Saturday afternoon.

Led by Jake Schar's 31 points, the Vikings outscored their hosts 27-14 to earn their first victory of the young season. Carl Burgess added nine points and Mateo Jauregui added six points in the victory. 

Carter Janesch had 14 points and Adam Seeber registered 11 points in the loss for Wabeno/Laona. 

The Gibraltar Vikings will head to Wabeno to take on Wabeno/Laona Saturday afternoon in a non-conference matchup. 

The Vikings have been led this season by Jake Schar, who has averaged 25 points per game in the two games Gibraltar has played. The team has started their season 0-2 but are without big man Will Friedenfels and guard Brady Kita, as both sustained injuries during the football season that has held them out of the season so far. The Vikings lost to the Rebels last season early in the year 75-68, as the Rebels had Connor Taylor go for 43 in their win over Gibraltar. 

Wabeno/Laona has gotten off to a slower start this season as well, opening up at a 1-3 overall record. The Rebels are coming off of a win however, as they took down NEWCHAA 68-33. Carter Janesch has been the leading scorer for the Rebels so far this season, as he leads with 18.8 points per game. 

Tip is scheduled for 2:30 in Wabeno. 

Gibraltar and Kewaunee will play against each other Friday night as both squads look for their first girls' basketball win of the season.

The Vikings came close in their last game on November 18th, losing to Hilber 48-42. Mikala Gorham scored 17 points and Colleen Carlisle added 13 points in the loss for the Vikings. Three other players scored in the game for the Vikings. 

The Storm is going through its own youth movement as they have started the season off with an uncharacteristic 0-3 mark. Summer Walechka led the Storm with nine points in the Storm's 46-39 loss to Algoma in their Packerland opener earlier this week.

Tip-off in Kewaunee is set for 7:30 p.m.
