A slow start can prove fatal in the do-or-die part of the season. That’s a lesson the Arcadia girls basketball team learned the hard way in their playoff opener, ending an otherwise solid overall winter of hoops with a whimper. The fifth-seeded Elk Mound Mounders (16-10) raced out of the gates to a...
The Blair-Taylor boys basketball team came through down the stretch to get one win, but struggled late in another game last week. B-T trailed Augusta for most of last Monday’s game, but the Wildcats went on a run toward the end of the game to come away with a 65-62 win. On Thursday, B-T had a 10-...
After a slow start, the Whitehall boys basketball team got its offense going in the second half and pulled away from Alma Center Lincoln for a 51-29 road win. Whitehall trailed 15-13 at halftime of its final regular-season game last Thursday. The Hornets scored first in the second half, but the...

An arctic blast-induced scheduling quirk resulted in the Arcadia boys basketball team playing Viroqua twice in a row to finish off the regular season. The Raiders turned that into their only sweep of a Coulee Conference opponent this winter. Arcadia (8-16, 4-8 Coulee) overmatched the Blackhawks (4-...

The Whitehall girls basketball team got off to a slow start and could never catch up as its season came to an end with a 56-40 home loss to Mondovi on Tuesday of last week. While the Norse defeated the Buffaloes, 51-36, on Feb. 9, last week’s Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association regional...
The Independence/Gilmanton boys basketball team hasn’t been able to get stops lately and that was the case again last week. The Indees fell to Osseo-Fairchild, 81-34, on Monday, then lost to Melrose-Mindoro, 90-41, on Thursday. Those losses made it four straight games in which I/G had allowed at...
For a second straight winter, the G-E-T/Mel-Min/C-FC co-op is headed to Wisconsin Rapids for the state gymnastics tournament as a team on the heels of a sectional title triumph. GMC emerged victorious as a team at last Friday’s Division 2 sectional meet in Reedsburg, narrowly beating out Sparta for...
For the first time in a decade, the Gale-Ettrick-Trempealeau boys basketball team is headed into the postseason with 20 wins already under their belt. The Red Hawks (20-4, 10-2 Coulee) wrapped up the regular season in a winning fashion, using a strong finishing kick to get past the Luther Knights (...
The book on the 2025-26 season is officially closed for the Gale-Ettrick-Trempealeau girls basketball team after a loss in their playoff opener. The 11th-seeded Red Hawks (3-22) suffered a season-ending 70-41 loss to the sixth-seeded Amery Warriors (14-11) of the Middle Border Conference in the...
