Weston opened the post-season with a solid effort to defeat Alma-Pepin the previous week so the Silver Eagles baseball team took some momentum into the Regional semi-finals in WIAA D-4 action last week at Brookwood. Weston hit the ball well but fell by a final score of 9-6 to end their season.

A terrific first season of the Ithaca/Weston softball season at the varsity level came to a disappointing finish on Thursday with a loss in a WIAA D-5 Sectional final, just one win short of a trip to this week’s WIAA State Tournament in Madison.

River Valley’s High School girls soccer season came to a close Saturday night with a WIAA Tournament loss at Lodi but despite the loss, it may have been the best the Blackhawks played all season.

Reedsburg has had much success facing Poynette/Portage through the years in girls soccer action, including an exciting 5-4 win earlier this season. With that in mind, the Beavers had some confidence as they began the post-season last Tuesday, facing that squad in Poynette to begin the WIAA Tournament series.

The Reedsburg Beavers, as a team, played some of its best golf of the season last Tuesday and a few individual members of the team also played some of their best golf of the season as well, but it wasn’t enough to extend the season as Reedsburg hosted a very tough WIAA D-1 Sectional Meet.

The most decorated male athlete in Ithaca/Weston Track and Field program history, Clayton Lee, wrapped up his stellar high school career by competing in two events over the weekend at the WIAA State Track and Field Meet at UW-La Crosse.

Reedsburg Mayor Dave Estes was one of several speakers as Reedsburg Little League Baseball celebrated its 75th Anniversary with a special ceremony at Saputo Field at Nishan Park.

Despite some good moments, the Caz Reds still came up short in a pair of Home Talent Baseball games this past week against Wis. Dells and Black Earth.

River Valley finished in last place in a tough SWC Softball race this spring, but Coach Jane Briehl’s squad still had two players named to the first-team All-Conference squad. All six teams had at least one first-team selection.

The week for the Reedsburg Pirates started on a down note in Home Talent Baseball but ended in much more of a positive vibe.
