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.

The RAHS Club Bowling Team hosted a match recently against Baraboo at Brewster’s Lanes. Reedsburg’s team has over 20 bowlers this year in a season that began in November and will conclude in February, Reedsburg bowls against schools from Baraboo, Portage, Dells, Mauston, Westfield, Wautoma and Plainfield Tri-County.

On Friday, Jan. 9, the Badger Lightning hosted its annual Cancer Support Night at the Poppy Waterman Rink in Wisconsin Dells. The team played Brookfield Glacier and came out a bit short in the 2-3 loss.

Coach Mark Simon’s Beaver girls basketball squad played one of its strongest defensive games of the season last Thursday, but it wasn’t enough in a 44-29 loss at Mount Horeb as Reedsburg fell to 2-8 in Badger Small action.

The Reedsburg Beaver boys wrestling team has done something that no other Reedsburg Beaver sports team has done in over 40 years. The Beavers earned a share of this year’s overall title in Badger Small Wrestling after a strong showing at Saturday’s Badger Conference Tournament and that makes it five consecutive conference championship seasons.

Reedsburg was hoping to make it two wins in two nights in boys basketball action at Tomah last Tuesday, but it was not to be with the Timberwolves emerging with a 71-60 victory.

The Reedsburg/Wisconsin Dells/Mauston boys high school hockey co-op hosted its final game of the regular season last Tuesday and the opponent was one of the better teams on the RWD schedule this year, Monona Grove, who came into the game at 8-1 in the Badger Conference and still in contention for the league title.

Reedsburg was short-handed last week in the gymnastics room with Bridget McCormick and Audrey Matyas nursing injuries, but others stepped up and turned in solid scores in a pair of meets, one at home and one in Dodgeville.
