Thursday January 24 Area High School Sports Schedule

by Matz ~ January 24th, 2013. Filed under: Matz on Sports.

Girls Basketball: Badger North-Baraboo at De Forest, Baraboo will face the Norskies for the first time tonight with Baraboo 6-0 in the conference and 13-0 overall after a 63-45 win over Portage Tuesday in a game where four Baraboo players scored in double figures. Baraboo did not shoot well from the floor but they converted at the foul line and forced Portage into some mistakes, especially in the second half. Carli Zimmerman is still out of the Baraboo lineup with a concussion so Baraboo will be somewhat shorthanded against a De Forest squad that is 4-2 in the league, 8-6 overall and winners of four of their last five. Kayla Goth is a returning all-leaguer for De Forest but it’s a balanced team that does not feature a double figure scorer while holding opponents to very few points themselves. 7:30 PM is the tip-off time in De Forest with live coverage at about 7:20 PM on 99.7 FM and AM 740-WRPQ with Scott Pionke and Kristi Feld on the call!

Mount Horeb at Reedsburg-Mount Horeb has moved ahead of the Beavers in the league standings after a win last week against Sauk-Prairie to go 3-3 with Reedsburg 2-3 in Badger North after a 29-26 loss at De Forest Friday. Reedsburg is 7-5 overall after a Saturday win against River Valley and this will be their first matchup with Mount Horeb this season.

Portage at Waunakee-Portage is 0-5 in league play coming in tonight after a loss in Baraboo Tuesday with Sammi Grunder’s 16 points a bright spot. Waunakee shares second place with De Forest at 4-2 in the conference and they’ll be facing Waunakee for the first time this season.

Non-Conference-Monona Grove at Sauk-Prairie, MG is one of 13 unbeaten girls basketball teams around the state entering the week with a 13-0 mark as the Senior dominated team sits atop the Badger South standings. MG is ranked second in the D-2 AP poll and first in the coaches poll and they’ll face a Sauk squad that is 6-7 overall after a fourth straight loss on Saturday against Mount Horeb. Sauk is scoring less than 40 points per game during the losing skid.

Boys Basketball: Scenic Bluffs Conference-Royall at Hillsboro, Hillsboro is 5-3 in the conference after last week’s win over New Lisbon with Royall 8-0 in the league and the state ranked Panthers are 12-2 overall. Royall won 51-27 in the first meeting.

Dells also has a make-up next week with Westfield and the Dells Invite is this Saturday at the high school.
