The regular season is nearing its completion for the girls squad representing River Valley Soccer and the Blackhawks are building some momentum after a couple of wins last week.

River Valley and the other schools in the Southwest Wisconsin Conference sent their boys golf squads to the Reedsburg Country Club last Tuesday for the end of season conference meet.

Ithaca/Weston added a softball game to their schedule last week to avoid a long lay-off before the WIAA playoffs as I/W faced a good Dodgeville team. Freshman pitcher Marcy Lathrop threw a no-hitter at the normally potent I/W offensive attack and also walked nobody in a nine-strikeout performance as Dodgeville won 11-0.

Coach Jane Briehl and the River Valley girls have some good vibes on the softball field after two wins in three days last week and one of them was a WIAA Playoff win as well.

The Caz Reds opened their Sunday League Home Talent Baseball schedule on Sunday afternoon with an 8-1 loss at Wisconsin Dells. Caz had just four hits with Aaron Huebsch allowing eight runs, five earned, on eight hits to go along with seven strikeouts as the losing pitcher. Sammy Clary struck out four hitters in two and 1/3 innings pitched.

There was definitely some excitement on the field last Tuesday at River Valley High School as the Blackhawk baseball team won a thriller in the SWC over Lancaster, 4-3.

Senior Clayton Lee needs a lot of space to display all the medals he’s won through his profound track and field career with the Ithaca/Weston program and for the second year in a row, he has saved some of his best work for the Ridge and Valley Conference Meet.

The final conference meet of 2026 for the River Valley Blackhawks track and field program was held last Tuesday at Lancaster High School. Lancaster ran away with the girls team title with 184.5 team points but Valley was part of a 4-way battle for second place with just 12 points separating the contestants.

Things went about as well as could be expected last Tuesday for the Reedsburg Beavers, who got to host the 2026 Badger Small Track and Field Meet at Millennium Field.

Just one week remains in the regular season for Reedsburg Beaver girls soccer with the Beavers falling twice this past week on the home field to Fort Atkinson and Janesville Parker.
