The week began with a loss at Pecatonica for the Weston Silver Eagle boys basketball team last Monday by a final score of 89-69 as the Silver Eagles fell to 1-6 overall with a sixth straight setback.

The Ithaca/Weston wrestlers were among 17 squads competing in Saturday’s Richland Center Invitational to close out the pre-Christmas portion of the schedule. I/W had no individual champions but five wrestlers did earn top five finishes as I/W placed seventh overall in team scoring.

The lineup still isn’t at full strength yet for the Reedsburg Beaver wrestlers as a few individuals still have to get to their desired weight which may not happen until January but despite that fact, Reedsburg continues to perform well on the mat leading up to the New Year.

Reedsburg had only one game scheduled this past week in high school boys basketball action but that game was wiped out on Thursday as Edgewood at Reedsburg was postponed due to inclement weather with no make-up date announced.

The competition season is now off and running for the Reedsburg Beaver gymnastics squad after Friday’s season opening dual with Mount Horeb at RAHS. The Beavers posted some good scores, especially for an opening meet, but the Vikings won the dual with a mark of 136.050 compared to the Beavers at 124.975.

The Badger Lightning girls hockey co-op has broken into the win column for the first time in the conference season after a tense 1-0 win over the Stoughton Icebergs Friday night in Baraboo. The only goal of the night was scored by Haydee Meyer in the second period with assists for Reedsburg’s Ryleigh Bychinski along with Ashlynn Ballweg.

For just the second time this season, the RWD boys hockey co-op went down to defeat on Friday night, dropping a 3-1 decision to Monroe in conference play at RACA in Reedsburg.
