Andy Sherman has been coaching track and field for a long time.

The thrill of the WIAA state never gets old, though.

River Valley’s high school golfers played the course at the Dodge-Point Country Club last Tuesday in a WIAA D-2 Sectional. The Blackhawks had their full team in action after placing fourth last week in WIAA Regional play, but the team was unable to advance this past week, placing 10^th among the 12 teams.

RAHS sophomore Jack Meyer made some real memories by winning a match last week at the WIAA State Boys Tennis Tournament, a fest that hasn’t been done by a Reedsburg player in a very long time.

Reedsburg notched a much-needed victory on the baseball diamond Sunday on the road in the Home Talent League, dominating Cross Plains 13-1 with Reedsburg now 3-1 in the Sunday League season.

A big-time, turn-around season for the boys golf squad at RAHS was celebrated recently with team awards being handed out.

Reedsburg will have a boys golfer competing at the WIAA State Tournament for the first time in nearly 10 years this week after RAHS junior Preston Powell punched his ticket to state with an outstanding round last week at Holmen Sectional.

River Valley was ranked fourth in the state for D-4 girls soccer programs at one point this season and had hopes for a conference title and possibly a WIAA State Tournament berth after coming up just 1 win short of state last season.

Weston was the top team in Ridge and Valley Conference Baseball for much of this season and five players on the Silver Eagles roster earned All-Conference accolades for their efforts.

For more than 85 minutes last Saturday, third-seeded Sauk Prairie and 11^th-seeded Watertown battled to a scoreless tie in a WIAA Division 2 prep girls regional final soccer match.

But then junior defender Brooklyn Kaufman and junior midfielder Leah Allen hooked up for the play of the game.
