Weston figured their deep pitching staff would be a strength all season during the 2025 high school baseball campaign and that was on full display last week as Weston won the season opener, 2-0, at De Soto to kick off conference play.

Former Reedsburg Beaver girls basketball standout Syd Cherney is joined by her parents, Sarah and Todd, after Cherney’s college team, Grand Valley State, won the NCAA D-2 Women’s Basketball National Championship last Friday night in Pittsburgh.

Optimism is running high for the Weston Silver Eagle baseball team as the 2025 season approaches.

Weston was 12-9 overall last season with a 9-5 conference record and although three senior starters have graduated, a strong nucleus returns for this season.

For the first time in three seasons, the Weston Silver Eagles will have a softball team of their own this spring.

Weston did not have enough girls to field a varsity squad the past two seasons, although a few girls did play with the Ithaca JV in a co-op last spring.

Sauk Prairie’s track and field teams competed at the UW-Whitewater Invite on March 21.

The Eagles’ boys finished 13th out of 31 teams, while the girls were 18th out of 28 teams.

Here are Sauk Prairie’s top performances.

• Trent Backeberg was second in the 55-meter hurdles with a time of 8.04 seconds.

The 2025 girls soccer season regular season slate begins this week for the Reedsburg Beavers, led by Head Coach Erica Gronley. The Beavers won three matches last season and although a few contributing seniors have moved on as is the case every year, Gronley feels the team could improve on that win total this season.

It’s not often that high school spring sports teams can play games outdoors in the month of March but the Beaver softball team got to do it twice last week with a league game at Portage and a non-conference affair at Fennimore.

For each of the past two springs, those associated with Reedsburg Beaver baseball felt they had a WIAA State Tournament caliber team but in each season, those hopes were dashed with post-season losses.

High school baseball teams have done some work in recent days in preparation for the 2025 season but the official start of the pre-season was this week for teams across the state, including the Reedsburg Beavers.
