Tomorrow at approximately 7pm, the Slinger Owls will take on the Shawano Hawks. Slinger comes into this game with a record of 8*-1, with their only loss coming at the hands of Pewaukee, a 2 point loss. They are coached by Al Schieve, who has won 297 games in his long high school basketball coaching career. Their leading scorer, Derek Merkes, is averaging 12.2 points per game. Nathan Roethle is averaging 11.4 points a game. The Owls have multiple scorers that are capable of lighting up the scoreboard each and every night. Shawano comes into this game with a record of 2-6 on the season, but are steadily improving under the direction of coach Thadd Cornell. They two have a pair of scorers averaging in double figures. Will Cox, a 2 year varsity performer, is leading the team with an average of 15 points per game. His ability to shoot the mid range game and beyond the arc are going to be key if the Hawks will come out with the win. Zack Sousek is second on the team with an average of 11.8 points per game. Shawano will play inspired in this one, but Slinger's depth should win the game for them in this one.*Note* Slinger does not have the result of their game against Beaver Dam on December 20, but I think they won so they are either 7-1/8-1 (I have them at 8-1 because I think they won that game.)
