The winter sports season has ramped up quickly for the Prairie du Chien boys basketball team, which recorded a conference loss and a non-conference win last week.
Friday night, they hosted South West Conference foe Dodgeville. The intensity was high. The speed was fast. In terms of height, the teams were evenly matched. But the Dodgers got out to a strong lead and held double digits over Prairie du Chien from about halfway through the first half through the rest of the contest. The score at the half was 33-22, Dodgeville.
In the second half, the Blackhawks pressed their opponents and managed to pull within six points several times, but it just wasn’t enough to secure the win. Dodgeville triumphed, 64-57.
On Saturday afternoon, the boys headed to compete with their rivals across the river, MFL Mar-Mac. The Hawks brought home the victory, 57-41.
Now 1-2 overall and 0-1 in conference, the boys will host Richland Center this Friday, Dec. 8, in Prairie.
