Sauk Prairie’s girls basketball team posted the program’s most victories in a season in 10 years this winter. Then, the Eagles received some well-deserved recognition when it came time to postseason honors.

Wisconsin Heights’ boys basketball team didn’t win as many games as it hoped for this season.

But the Vanguards were still recognized when it came to all-Southern Capitol Conference honors.

Sauk Prairie was supposed to have its first track and field meet of the season on Friday.

All of the Eagles’ spring sports teams were going to be on the practice field by the start of next week.

Not anymore, though.

Wisconsin Heights’ girls basketball team recently had three players named all-Southern Capitol Conference.

Senior guard Ashlee Adler was named first-team all-conference. Senior post Miranda Keith and senior wing/post Kelsi Handel were both named honorable-mention all-conference.

Sauk Prairie senior forward Trevor Spray and junior forward Brandt Wilson enjoyed terrific years on the hardwood. And both were recently recognized for their strong seasons.

The 6-foot-7 Spray was named second-team all-Badger North Conference. The 6-foot-7 Wilson received honorable mention recognition.

Sauk Prairie senior Garrett Hertzfeldt will attend the University of Dubuque this fall to study Aviation to become a commercial pilot and play football for the Spartans. “It felt like the right place to be,” Heartfelt said. “it’s great to know I have four more years to play a sport I love.”

Sauk Prairie senior Parker Breunig will attend UW-Whitewater this fall to study Business and compete in football for the Warhawks. “They’re a powerhouse program, and I’m very excited to be part of that,” Parker Breunig said. “The school is awesome, and the school of Business is one of the best in the nation.”

The Sauk Prairie-Wisconsin Heights boys swimming and diving team recently finished in ninth place at the WIAA Division 2 state meet. 

The team concluded their season with a banquet in the Leahy Theatre of Sauk Prairie High School. The following swimmers received awards:

The best is arguably yet to come for Sauk Prairie junior gymnast Heidi Kuhnau.

Last Saturday, Kuhnau made her individual state tournament debut, recording a score of 8.483 points on the balance beam to finish 16th out of 28 competitors at the WIAA Division 2 individual state meet in Wisconsin Rapids.

Wisconsin Heights’ trip to the postseason was a short one.

The Vanguards’ boys basketball team fell to River Ridge, 56-48, in a WIAA Division 4 regional quarterfinal on March 3. Heights finished the year with an 11-12 record.

Heights trailed, 26-21, at halftime and River Ridge kept the Vanguards at bay in the second half.
