Wildcats finish season with 10th-straight win

The Blair-Taylor boys basketball team secured their 10th-straight victory to finish the regular season on a high note last week.

The Wildcats finished a clean sweep of their Dairyland Conference games with a win over Eau Claire Immanuel Lutheran on Thursday, finishing undefeated at 14-0 in the Dairyland Small.

B-T finished their regular season 20-2 overall. Postseason play in the Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association regional playoffs began on Tuesday, as the second-seeded Wildcats hosted 15th-seeded Coulee Christian/Providence, who finished their season 4-15. A win would advance B-T to face the winner of seventh-seeded Eleva-Strum and 10th-seeded Independence on Friday. The regional final game will be Saturday with the highest seed hosting.

B-T 75 ECIL 48 - A dominant run through the Dairyland concluded with B-T’s 10th-straight win, all of which came by 19 points or more. The Wildcats led 37-23 at half, and B-T head coach Randy Storlie said he was proud of his team’s finish to the season.

“We played well at times tonight, but we really played great team ball and everyone played a factor in this win and the success we have had this season,” Storlie said. “Our balance not only in scoring, but in all of our stats has been a huge plus to our fantastic season.”  

Five Wildcats hit double figures, led by Kyle Steien’s 23 points. Following him in scoring were Logan Smith’s 13 points, Issac Nerby and Matt Waldera with 12 each and 10 points from Alec Reismann.  Nick Shepherd and Kaleb Smith each added three points and Cain Fremstad had one as well. 

Waldera, Logan Smith, Steien and Reismann each had seven rebounds, and Reismann and Logan Smith each had seven assists.
