Saturday marked the final ever home meet for those seniors who are members of the Reedsburg Beaver Cross Country teams as the Annual Reedsburg Beaver Invite was held last week at the Hartje Center, just outside Reedsburg.

For the second week in a row, it was a competitive performance for the Wonewoc-Center/Weston Silverwolves co-op, eight-man football team against a quality opponent but for the second week in a row, it wasn’t enough to earn a win as Highland held on to edge the Silverwolves, 30-20, in the Ridge and Valley Conference Friday night as part of Homeco

Reedsburg joined their fellow Badger Small teams, along with those from Badger Large, in the Badger Conference Girls Tennis Tournament over the weekend on the UW-Madison campus. Edgewood emerged as the team champion, and they also claim the overall title this season in Badger Small.

River Valley’s football team helped make it a happy Homecoming week in the district with a 28-6 win over Richland Center as the Blackhawks won for the fifth straight week. Coach Tyler McCain was proud of how his team prepared for the game in a jam-packed week of activities.

Reedsburg and Baraboo met for the 138^th time in high school football last Friday night at Reedsburg’s Millennium Field with the Reedsburg Beavers rolling to a 49-7 victory to retain possession of the Old River Jug, which goes to the winning school each year.

On Tuesday last week, the Blackhawks headed to Richland Center to play the Hornets in SWC Boys Soccer action. The Blackhawks created their first scoring opportunity early in the game and Ron Osborn took advantage of that and slammed a shot outside of the box into the net, with an assist to Edward Thomas.

The season continued Saturday for the River Valley Blackhawk cross country program, at the Golden Eagle Relays in Fennimore.

Weston’s boys cross country runners had two meets in three days this past week in Prairie du Chien and Reedsburg.

The second round of the conference season is underway for the Weston Silver Eagles on the volleyball court as Weston faced Ithaca and North Crawford for the second time this past week, both on the road. Weston fell in both matchups, despite playing some good volleyball in both matches.
