The Beaver boys tennis team has put themselves in a position to possibly win the Badger Small league title as we enter the final week of the conference season.

Sauk Prairie’s baseball team continues to be one of the area’s surprise teams this spring.

The Eagles won all four of their games last week and improved to 11-6 on the year.

Sauk Prairie is also tied for fourth place in the Badger Small Conference with a 4-6 record.

Here’s a recap of the Eagles’ week.

One stellar round.

One … well not so much.

Sauk Prairie’s golf team shined and finished third at the 21-team Nekoosa Invite on May 7. The Eagles then finished seventh at the final Badger Small Conference mini-meet of the year on May 9.

Here’s a recap of Sauk Prairie’s week.

NEKOOSA INVITE

For the third time this season and for the first time in conference play, River Valley’s girls played to a tie on the soccer field on Thursday, playing to a 2-2 draw at Dodgeville against the Dodgeville/Mineral Point co-op.

Wins were hard to come by last week for the River Valley softball with 2 of the losses coming in league play.

A new school record highlighted this past week’s efforts for the Reedsburg Beaver track and field program with an eye looking forward to the Badger Small Meet in just a few days.

For the first time this season, the Reedsburg Beavers are no longer in first place in the Badger Small baseball standings, but Reedsburg did still win two of three games overall last week.

The Beaver girls soccer team is in the midst of the most successful stretch in any season in recent memory and the hot streak continued last week with one win coming against a state-ranked team, another rarity in recent seasons.

River Valley had a major league baseball type schedule last week with five games in six days but the Blackhawks did get a much-needed win on Friday over Richland Center.

After a 7-6 loss to Mount Horeb on Monday, R-V lost a tight 4-1 decision at Dodgeville last Tuesday in a return to SWC action.

Members of the River Valley High School track and field program always like to keep tabs on the rest of the conference throughout the season and they got a chance to do just that at last week’s SWC in-season Invite at Platteville in advance of the official SWC Meet on May 20 in Dodgeville.
