Gibraltar Boys Hoopsters Get First Season Win

The third non-conference road game of the season was the charm for Gibraltar’s boys basketball team.

After being tied 31-31 at halftime, the Vikings were victorious Saturday against Laona-Wabeno, 58-45.

More than half of Gibraltar’s scoring came from senior forward Jake Schar, who tallied 19 of his game-high 31 points in the second half. Senior guard Carl Burgess added nine points.

The Vikings, who are 1-2 overall, play their first Packerland Conference and home game of the season Tuesday when they host Kewaunee. Gibraltar will then play a conference road game Dec. 9 against NEW Lutheran.
