The best is arguably yet to come for Sauk Prairie junior gymnast Heidi Kuhnau. Last Saturday, Kuhnau made her individual state tournament debut, recording a score of 8.483 points on the balance beam to finish 16th out of 28 competitors at the WIAA Division 2 individual state meet in Wisconsin Rapids.

The Sauk Prairie-Wisconsin Heights boys swimming and diving team recently finished in ninth place at the WIAA Division 2 state meet.  The team concluded their season with a banquet in the Leahy Theatre of Sauk Prairie High School. The following swimmers received awards: • Most Improved, Mason Breunig • Most Valuable, Matthew Loy

Sauk Prairie senior Parker Breunig will attend UW-Whitewater this fall to study Business and compete in football for the Warhawks. “They’re a powerhouse program, and I’m very excited to be part of that,” Parker Breunig said. “The school is awesome, and the school of Business is one of the best in the nation.”

Sauk Prairie senior Garrett Hertzfeldt will attend the University of Dubuque this fall to study Aviation to become a commercial pilot and play football for the Spartans. “It felt like the right place to be,” Heartfelt said. “it’s great to know I have four more years to play a sport I love.”

Sean McGann has fond memories of his basketball playing days in high school, especially when it came to the postseason. McGann, who is just completing his second season as head coach at Sauk Prairie, would like his players to create some fond memories of their own.

Wisconsin Heights senior Christian Patzka will attend UW-Whitewater this fall to study communications and marketing and compete in track and field and cross country for the Warhawks. 

Wisconsin Heights’ boys basketball coach Zack Colby loves how things line up. Colby and his 11th-seeded Vanguards began the postseason Tuesday with a trip to sixth-seeded River Ridge for a WIAA Division 4 regional quarterfinal. If the Vanguards won there, they’d head to third-seeded Mineral Point Friday at 7 p.m. for a regional semifinal.

For 18 minutes, the upset alarm was ringing loudly. Unfortunately for Wisconsin Heights’ girls basketball team, that alarm was silenced in the second half.

‘Remember where we came from.’ The motto on the poster for the 2019-20 Sauk Prairie boys’ co-op hockey program said it all.

It was a bittersweet moment for Ella Schad when it sunk in that she had just played her final game on the Sauk Prairie Eagles’ home court.
