The Arcadia boys basketball team was not happy with how things went against Westby at the end of January. Against a team they had beaten on the road earlier in the season, the Raiders were outscored by eight in the second half in a 56-50 home loss to the Norsemen in their Jan. 31 rematch. Arcadia...
For the first time in the 2024-25 season, the Arcadia girls basketball team finds itself mired in a three-game losing streak. In their last game of January, the Raiders saw a promising first half go by the wayside over the final 18 minutes in a road loss to Onalaska Luther. This past week, they...

The Gale-Ettrick-Trempealeau/Melrose-Mindoro Titans did not put together the type of performance they wanted in their final conference dual of the season. Rather than let it carry over any further, the team used it as motivation to help fuel the program’s latest conference title. The Titans reigned...

The Blair-Taylor girls basketball team threw a major wrench in the title hopes for two Dairyland Conference Large Division teams then coasted against a fellow DC-Small team.

The Whitehall girls basketball team won two of its three games last week, but fell a game further back in the conference standings. For much of the season, Whitehall has been in a tie for first-place in the Dairyland Conference Large Division, but it began last week one game behind Independence/...
I understand the logic in the Milwaukee Bucks deciding to trade Khris Middleton. His injuries were piling up, he too often looked like a shell of what he once was physically, and his contract was an albatross for the franchise. Even with all that acknowledged, it made it no less heartbreaking to...
The Blair-Taylor girls basketball team struggled in a pair of Dairyland Conference losses before picking up a win in Wisconsin Dells on Saturday. The Wildcats struggled throughout last week Monday’s game against Eleva-Strum, falling 65-39. B-T was close against Alma/Pepin on Thursday, but the...
As the Coulee conference tournament draws near, the Gale-Ettrick-Trempealeau/Melrose-Mindoro Titans continued to impress on the mats in their most recent triangular. The Titans outbattled Mauston/Necedah for a 43-32 win in their dual and then blanked Wisconsin Dells 84-0 at a triangular last...
The Independence/Gilmanton girls basketball team turned a couple of close games into comfortable wins with runs in the second half last week. The Indees went on a 12-0 run to pull away from New Auburn for a 51-44 road win last week Monday. On Thursday, the team scored the first seven points of the...
A spirited early display against Westby showed clear signs of progress for the Gale-Ettrick-Trempealeau girls basketball team.  However, the closing stretch against the Norsemen and G-E-T’s follow-up performance against Viroqua reiterated that there is plenty of work still out there to be done. The...
