The Titans left the rest of the competition in the dust in the...
Strong starts helped the Blair-Taylor boys basketball team to two road wins last week, though the final margins ended up being quite different. B-T jumped out to a big lead against Alma Center Lincoln last week Tuesday but needed a late steal and basket to sneak out a 43-41 win. On Friday, the...
Stop me if you’ve heard this tale before, but the Wisconsin Badgers men’s basketball team has solidified themselves as one of the best teams in the Big Ten despite modest preseason expectations.

The Independence/Gilmanton girls basketball team has proven to be tough to score on as both Eau Claire Immanuel and Cochrane-Fountain City found out last week. The Indees shut ECI’s offense down in the closing minutes of a 51-40 win last week Tuesday. On Thursday, I/G held C-FC to just 23 points in...
