Sauk Prairie’s baseball team rebounded from a rough start last week.

The Eagles lost their first two games of the week, dropping a 12-0 decision to Waunakee on April 24 and suffering an 8-7 setback to Baraboo on April 25.

The Badger Conference is deep and talented when it comes to boys golf.

So even though Sauk Prairie finished in sixth place at an eight-team mini-meet at Monroe on April 26, the Eagles felt all right about their performance.

That’s because Sauk Prairie shot 353, one of its top scores of the season.

Sauk Prairie’s girls soccer team has been a staple inside the Division 2 top-10 poll all season.

The Eagles, currently ranked No. 9, showed again last week why they’re one of the state’s elite outfits.

Sauk Prairie’s boys tennis team notched its first win of the season last Saturday.

Competing at the Waunakee Invite, the Eagles edged Madison East, 4-3.

“I’m so proud of how our team battled,” Sauk Prairie coach Morgan Lee said. “But coming home with a team victory under our belts made today’s matches feel even sweeter.”

Sauk Prairie senior Jack Boerger broke the school record in the 3,200-meter run during the West Allis Hale Distance Night last Friday.

Boerger finished his run in 9 minutes, 26.68 seconds to break the school record set by Keith Mulhollon in 1987.

Andy Sherman has been coaching track and field at Sauk Prairie for 25 years.

And last Friday, the Eagles’ girls did something none of Sherman’s previous teams have done — winning the Baraboo Relays.

Emma Mickelson and the Wisconsin Heights/Barneveld girls soccer team are off to a 2-1-1 start.

The Vanguards routed Monroe, 6-1, on April 6, but dropped an 8-0 decision to Sugar River on April 11. Heights/Barneveld tied Columbus, 1-1, on April 14 and rolled past Richland Center on April 18.

Emily Van Riper and Wisconsin Heights’ girls softball team played just one game last week and dropped a 12-1 decision to Waterloo.

This was necessary.

And boy, was it ever impressive.

Wisconsin Heights’ baseball team rallied past Waterloo, 6-5, on April 18 and snapped a three-game losing streak in the process.

The Vanguards improved to 4-3 on the young season and are 2-1 in the Capitol South Conference.

Sauk Prairie’s boys tennis team fell to Baraboo, 5-2, on April 18.

“Overall, tonight’s loss was frustrating because this was a winnable match for us,” Sauk Prairie coach Morgan Lee said. “We had multiple matches where we had some great moments, but not enough to take a set.
