The end result wasn’t what they wanted.
But Sauk Prairie’s girls’ tennis team was just thrilled to be back on the court last Tuesday, while several teams across the area are sitting out the fall season out due to concerns surrounding COVID-19.
Sauk Prairie received an Award of Excellence from the WIAA for its achievements in sportsmanship, ethics, integrity, leadership and character. Here, Parker Breunig (left) competes in a boys basketball game last winter.
