The Weston Silver Eagle girls basketball made some history last Tuesday night. Weston had not beaten rival Ithaca since February of 2011 but that changed last week as the Silver Eagles rallied from a 15-point first half deficit to win in exciting fashion, 51-43, at Weston High School.

Weston still is in search of the first win of the high school boys basketball season after Ridge and Valley Conference losses to Wauzeka and Seneca, both on the road.

The end of the regular season was a very positive one for the Reedsburg Beaver wrestlers this past weekend as Reedsburg completed a 7-2 dual meet season with lopsided wins over Sauk-Prairie and Verona at Sauk on Friday night.

The Beavers boys basketball squad had two home games in the same week for the first time this season this past week but the home cooking didn’t help in the win-loss column as Reedsburg went down to defeat against a strong Milton team and vs. Watertown.

The Ithaca/Weston wrestlers were one of six schools competing at Dodgeville on Friday night and a round-robin bracket was used for each weight class to get wrestlers as many matches as possible.

It was a strong week defensively for the Badger Lightning girls high school hockey co-op but offense was in short supply as the team suffered a pair of close losses last week in low scoring games.
