On March 16th, our merged basketball team, The Sauk Beavers (the Reedsburg High School Athletes, Agency 6-09 and our Sauk County SO, Agency 6-52) went to Area Team Basketball Competition in Platteville, WI. We are happy to say that the team won both of their games and will be going to State Competition for the second year in a row.

Coach Dan Gasser reports, "The basketball team really came together at the area competition.  We had struggled in our earlier scrimmages, but they really did well on Sunday, and now they're headed back to State.  They played the LaCrosse All-Stars in the first game and won a close contest, 14-12.  In the championship game they played the West Madison Green Hornets and won 30-12."
