It was a little good and a little bad this past week for Ithaca/Weston Girls Basketball, splitting a pair of non-conference games, a rarity with 2 straight games outside the Ridge and Valley at this time of year.
For one of the few times this season, the Badger Lightning girls hockey co-op, featuring players from several area schools, played back-to-back Badger Conference games last week.
River Valley has its first ever Conference Champion girls wrestler at the high school level. Makenzie Schulte won the title at 126 pounds with a 3-0 record Friday night at the first ever SWC/SWAL/Scenic Bluffs/Ridge and Valley Girls Wrestling Tournament in Boscobel. Schulte is now 32-9 for the season.
The Blackhawks from River Valley took a 3-game boys basketball win streak to Sauk-Prairie last Tuesday night to face an Eagles team that is contending for the Badger Small championship. Valley’s streak came to an end with an 81-61 loss.
Weston played none of their three scheduled boys basketball games this past week as the program goes through a transition with three weeks remaining in the regular season. AD Maggie Landsinger sent this statement on Friday.
Despite being a bit sloppy and careless with the ball at times, the River Valley girls eventually cruised to a 64-40 non-conference basketball win on Tuesday night over Boscobel in Spring Green.
River Valley scored over 108 team points at Saturday’s Dodgeville Gymnastics Invite, placing them last among the eight teams in overall scoring. Dodgeville’s team mark of 138.75 put them atop the field on Saturday.
