It was rare to have a Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday off last week but the Ithaca/Weston softball team got some time on the practice field, and it worked out for them when they returned to action faraday and recorded a 5-2 non-conference win over Cashton in a well-played game at Ithaca High School.

River Valley hosted arch-rival Richland Center last Tuesday on the baseball diamond and things didn’t go as hoped for the Blackhawks in a 9-2 loss as R-C notched its first win of the conference season. It was a 1-1 game after the first inning, but the visiting Hornets controlled the rest of the game.

Ithaca/Weston went up against some larger schools in a Track and Field Invite Friday at River Valley High School and had some success on the track and in field events as well.

It was a week of mixed results in the SWC for River Valley girls soccer. The good news, a 3-0 win over Richland Center. The bad news, a 2-1 loss to Galena, Illinois to begin the week.

Win number three for the Reedsburg Beaver girls soccer squad came about on Friday with a solid 2-1 win over Beaver Dam at RAHS.

Reedsburg had not lost a conference dual on the tennis court this spring until this past week when a strong Edgewood team took care of business against the Beavers, 6-1, in Madison last Tuesday.

Reedsburg held its position as the number three team in Badger Small Boys Golf after placing third in a conference mini-meet last Tuesday at the Reedsburg Country Club.

The arrow continues to point upward for the Reedsburg Beaver track and field program after a day full of good performances last Tuesday in Madison and again Friday in Stoughton.

It’s been tough to find a win of late for the Reedsburg Beaver softball team, a group that’s played a lot of games in a short amount time in recent days.

Reedsburg still leads the Badger Small baseball standings, but the state-ranked Beavers did suffer the first conference loss of the season on Friday at McFarland, after downing the Spartans in a Tuesday matchup.
