A battle-tested and experienced Sauk Prairie co-op hockey team heads into the new season confident and with the bar set high.

Sean McGann enters his fourth season at the helm of Sauk Prairie’s boys basketball program with a squad that lacks size and experience.

But the Eagles plan to use their depth at guard to focus on the basics and build off last season’s success on the defensive end.

Dustan Baldassari can’t put the ball in the basket or defend an opponent’s top scorer.

But Baldassari knows a thing or two about winning. And Wisconsin Heights’ new girls basketball team hopes that can help lead to a big season.

Not many people know the basketball talent inside Sauk Prairie High School quite like Jacob Breunig does.

Several Sauk Prairie High School athletes signed their national letters of intent on Nov. 10.

• Aida Shadewald — Wright St., Division 1 volleyball

• Avery Leigh — Knox College, Division 3 soccer

It ranks among the finest year in school history.

A regular season conference title. A 45-3 record.

And a trip to the sectional finals.

So it was no surprise that Sauk Prairie’s girls volleyball team had seven players named to the all-Badger West Conference team.

Records are made to be broken.

But the Sauk Prairie girls’ 200-yard freestyle relay took the adage to another level when it competed at the WIAA Division 2 state swimming and diving meet at Waukesha South High School last Friday night.

Sauk Prairie’s boys soccer team played a brutal schedule.

The Eagles navigated it well, though, and finished in fourth place in the powerful Badger West Conference.

So when all-conference honors were announced recently, it wasn’t a surprise that Sauk Prairie was well-represented.

Sauk Prairie’s cross country teams had stellar seasons.

And the Eagles capped it by having several runners earn all-Badger West Conference honors.

PRAIRIE DU SAC — Kassandra Miller reached the podium as a member of the 200-yard freestyle relay in her two previous trips to the WIAA Division 2 state swimming and diving meet.

However, Sauk Prairie opted not to compete in the postseason due to the COVID-19 pandemic a year ago.
