Following a tough 43-35 dual loss at home to Lodi this past Tuesday night, the Prairie du Chien Wrestling team entered the 2025 SWC Duals Tournament looking to earn their sixth straight conference championship. 
The Hawks also wanted to extend their conference duals winning streak (dating back to the start of the 2019-20 season) to 30 with a sweep of the tournament. That accomplishment would not be without some challenges.

It’s no secret that coach Jim Wagner’s River Ridge boys basketball team can put the ball in the basket. But as they proved last Tuesday night in an 87-51 victory over visiting Shullsburg, they are virtually unstoppable when ratcheting up their suffocating defensive pressure.
The host Timberwolves pressured the visiting Miners from the start, turning last Tuesday night’s Six Rivers West conference match up into a track meet, where coach Wagner’s squad scored 28 points in transition and converted 24 Shullsburg turnovers into 30 points.
