The Whitehall girls basketball team won a thriller, but couldn’t overcome a big run in another game last week.

The Independence/Gilmanton boys basketball team couldn’t be stopped in one game, but couldn’t get stops in another. The Indees controlled the paint and put up 85 points in a lopsided road win over Augusta last week Monday. On Thursday, however, the team couldn’t slow down Dairyland Conference...
A loss to Viroqua represented the Gale-Ettrick-Trempealeau girls basketball team’s highest scoring output and closest margin of the season, but it did not land them that elusive first win.
