RAHS A.D. Bryan Yager has been busy in recent weeks re-building the winter sports schedules as the original slates had to be altered significantly with many Badger North schools not playing winter sports this season due to COVID-19 restrictions.

Lake Mills scored on each of its first five possessions of the game and cruised to a 51-14 win over the Beavers in Lake Mills in the seventh and final week of the regular season for Reedsburg in this COVID-shortened season.
