Sauk Prairie senior Maggie Hartwig was named to the fourth-team of the The Associated Press’ All-State girls basketball team. 

Hartwig was previously named first-team all-state in Division 2 by the Wisconsin Basketball Coaches Association. The AP All-State team encompasses all five divisions.

The Wisconsin Heights/Barneveld track and field teams competed at the UW-Platteville Invite on March 30.

Team scores were not recorded, but here were the Vanguards’ top performances:

BOYS

• Senior Sam King won the 400-meter dash in 56.45 seconds.

Sauk Prairie’s girls track and field team finished second at the 11-team Watertown Indoor Invitational last Saturday. The Eagles’ boys were fourth out of 10 teams.

Twelve months ago, Sauk Prairie fielded a boys tennis team that was young, inexperienced and took some lumps.

This spring, the Eagles are older, wiser and hoping to make some noise in the always difficult Badger West Conference.

Some might look at the glass half empty.

Not Shane Frey.

Frey, Sauk Prairie’s boys golf coach, lost four of his five varsity players from last year to graduation. The Eagles — who were slated to begin their season Tuesday at the Sauk Prairie Invite — will be extremely young and inexperienced.

The prognosticators picked them for sixth place — last for goodness sake — in their conference.

Sauk Prairie’s baseball team saw that, raised its collective eyebrows and said, “We’ll see about that.”

Drew Kornish knows a lot will have to go right.

Health. Chemistry. Growth. And probably a break or two along the way.
