Reedsburg Beaver baseball celebrated a third straight outright conference championship recently, a feat that’s believed to have been done only once before in school history on the baseball diamond.

The best season in many years for the Reedsburg Beaver girls soccer program came to a close on Saturday with a loss in a Regional final in La Crosse but that came after a WIAA Tournament win over Baraboo three days earlier.

The Floggers team has the lead over C&C Masonry atop the team standings in the Monday Night Men’s Golf League at the Reedsburg Country Club heading into this week’s action.

Floggers team members include Pete Steinhauer, Dan Hillcoat, Dave Schoell and Don Webber.

The league season at RCC runs through Aug. 18.

Junior distance runner Clayton Lee has been in the business of breaking school records all season and the Ithaca/Weston did again, not once, but twice this weekend at the WIAA State Track and Field Meet at UW-La Crosse.

The Cazenovia Reds enjoyed some home cooking this past weekend in Home Talent Baseball but failed to take advantage after falling short against Wisconsin Dells in the Night League and Black Earth in the Sunday League.

River Valley got the pitching it needed and a pretty solid defensive effort that was needed but couldn’t deliver the key hit as the Blackhawks baseball season came to a close last Thursday with a 3-1 setback at Mineral Point in WIAA D-3 Regional baseball action.

River Valley looked to be in position for much of the season to claim its first SWC girls soccer championship since 2015 but in the end, the Blackhawks fell just short of that achievement, falling 4-1 to the Platteville/Lancaster co-op last Thursday in Spring Green.

River Valley saw its softball season end on May 22 with a wild, 10-9 setback at Westby in the opening game of the WIAA Tournament season. It was the fifth time this season scoring nine runs or more for the Blackhawks but it was the first loss of the season with that scenario.

The River Valley Blackhawks will have representation at the WIAA State Track and Field Meet at UW-La Crosse this weekend thanks to senior Wes Hatfield who has qualified in two sprint events with strong showings in McFarland on Friday night.

A rough year for Sauk Prairie’s girls softball team came to an end on May 22.
