The River Valley Blackhawks boys basketball won a regular season game at SWC Tri-Champion Platteville and lost at the buzzer at home against the Hillmen, so they took some confidence into their opening round WIAA Playoff game last Tuesday as the 11-seed Blackhawks played at six-seed Platteville in D-3 Regional play.
Weston saw its boys basketball season come to a close last Tuesday with a 77-44 loss at state-ranked North Crawford in WIAA D-5 Regional play. It was North Crawford’s third win over the Silver Eagles this season, but this matchup was by far the most competitive of the three contests but Weston ends the season at 4-18 overall.
Reedsburg opened the boys basketball pre-season against a familiar foe last Tuesday, the Baraboo Thunderbirds. The long-time conference rivals are not conference rivals this year in hoops with Baraboo a member of Badger Large this season with Reedsburg still in Badger Small.

River Valley played the role of spoiler while also playing, arguably, its best game of the boys basketball season last Thursday night. The Flying Arrows of Lancaster were a win away from the outright conference championship in the Southwest Wisconsin Conference but the visiting River Valley Blackhawks and Coach Luke Thatcher had other ideas.
