Wisconsin Heights’ girls basketball team split its first two games of the season last week.
The Vanguards defeated Pardeeville, 57-27, last Tuesday. Defending WIAA Division 5 state champs Black Hawk then downed the Vanguards, 76-37, last Friday.
A season of promise and high expectations got off to a bang for the Sauk Prairie co-op hockey team last Friday night.
Senior forward Riley Jelinek and sophomore forward Erik Peterson each recorded a hat trick to power the Eagles to a 12-0 victory over host Stoughton in a non-conference game at the Mandt Community Center.
A new offensive and defensive scheme quickly paid dividends for Sauk Prairie’s girls basketball team in its season-opener last Friday.
Junior Naomi Breunig scored a career-high 27 points, and the Eagles’ defense came up with 25 steals to spark a 70-33 rout of visiting River Valley in a non-conference matchup.
Melani Guentherman and Todd Wuerger just put the cap on a successful girls’ swimming season before switching roles a mere two days later.
Wuerger, who assists Guentherman with the Sauk Prairie girls’ squad in the fall, said there is no time for rest with a highly-anticipated boys season on deck.
Sauk Prairie’s girls volleyball team enjoyed a sensational season, going 31-14 overall.
And the Eagles were justly rewarded, landing three players on the all-Northern Badger Conference team.
Patience.
It’s not a word most coaches have in their vocabulary. But it’s one Wisconsin Heights boys basketball coach Zack Colby might need this winter.
The Vanguards return just one starter from last year’s team that went 16-7 overall and finished in second place in the Capitol South Conference.
After an inauspicious start a year ago, Sauk Prairie’s boys basketball team finished strong, winning four of its final six games and battling Monroe for 32 minutes in postseason regional play.
