Prairie du Chien girls suffer one-point loss in opening contest

By Correne Martin

Prairie du Chien’s first girls’ basketball game of the season was a tight one for all four quarters against non-conference Fennimore, with the Golden Eagles sneaking by for the win, 37-36.

Playing on the road Friday, the Blackhawks took care of the ball well but showed weakness in their confidence and communication, according to Coach Paula Shedivy.

“It was one of those typical first games,” Shedivy said, noting that her team consists of two seniors aside from a number of younger players. She said the girls just need to settle in, understand the pace of the game and get those early jitters out of the way.

The back-and-forth competition was exactly that from the get-go for both teams. The score was 22-21, in Fennimore’s favor, at the half.

“We struggled at the free throw line,” Shedivy added. The Blackhawks finished the game three for 10 in charity throws. “We also need to work on being a little more aggressive.”

Seneca’s experience, hot night from the field garners first victory of season

By Correne Martin

The Seneca girls’ basketball team started its season in non-conference action with Highland visiting. The home team offense seemed on fire as the Indians recorded the victory, 64-17.

“We shot really well. We spread the ball out on them and were able to get a lot of good looks at the basket. Then we just knocked ‘em down,” veteran coach Kim Redman said.

She starts four seniors and overall thought her team’s experience and scoring abilities were credited for their initial win. The girls managed to outscore the Cardinals 32-11 by halftime and then just didn’t give their opponents many good looks at the hoop.

Leading the charge on Seneca’s offense, Alivia Salinas finished with an impressive 22 points. Fellow senior Emily Garfoot tallied 13 points. Also in double digits, junior Erin Sime had 11 points, while sophomore Makenna Greene rounded out the top scorers with eight points.

Sophomore Skylar White had a big first night for the River Ridge girls’ basketball team. With 27 points, she fronted the Timberwolves’ performance on their home court in a non-conference showing against Wauzeka-Steuben.

White’s efforts in addition to her teammates’ contributions added up to the win, 53-37.

“The first half, we got some good looks back and forth out of their zone,” River Ridge coach Caron Townsend commented. “But the second half, we got a little tired. Skylar had two or three steals right off the bat in the second half and that grabbed the momentum for us but we gave up 20 points in that half.”

Townsend said her girls need to get in shape so they don’t have such a second-half drop as the season continues.

Adding to White’s points on the board, River Ridge’s Maria Breuer posted 12 points for the night.
