2023-24 RECAP

Sauk Prairie’s wrestling team finished in eighth place at the 22-team Black River Falls Invite last Saturday.

Sauk Prairie’s Max Schroeder finished first at 106 pounds to lead the Eagles. Logan McIntyre was also third at 215, while Lane Albers was fourth at 190 and Curtis Hankins was sixth at heavyweight.

Wisconsin Heights’ cross country teams had four runners named to the all-Capitol South Conference team.

There were moments of terrific basketball.

Periods of sustained excellence.

And if Wisconsin Heights’ boys basketball team can perform at that level for more than brief intervals, the Vanguards could surprise this winter.

Sauk Prairie’s co-op hockey team — which also includes players from Mount Horeb, Wisconsin Heights, Barneveld and River Valley — won a pair of games last week.

The Eagles traveled to Beaver Dam and posted a 4-2 win on Dec. 3. And Sauk Prairie blanked visiting Baraboo/Portage, 5-0, on Dec. 6.

Sauk Prairie girls basketball coach Jacob Breunig likes to schedule high-quality non-conference opponents every season.

Breunig believes it helps his Eagles prepare for the grind of the Badger Small Conference and get ready for postseason play, as well.

Up one night.

Down the next.

That’s been the story for Sauk Prairie’s boys basketball team this season. If the Eagles can find a branch of consistency to hold onto, though, big things could await.

Their last outing didn’t go according to plan.

Overall, though, Wisconsin Heights’ girls basketball team is off to the kind of start coach Tyler Fuchs dreamed of.
