That thorn showed up again Feb. 19, as the Hawks ended up on the short end of a 71-55 score to Xavier, which wrapped up the regular season with a win on its home court in Appleton.

Lakeland 3, Shawano/Bonduel 2 (2OT)

Shawano/Bonduel’s boys hockey team saw their season end with a heartbreaking double overtime loss to Lakeland.

With time running out in regulation, Quinten Harkey scored at 16:14 with help from Blake Swedberg to bring the fifth-seeded Hawks into a 2-2 tie and forcing overtime in the WIAA regional finals.

A short road trip led to another win for the Bonduel boys basketball team.

The Bears headed down state Highway 29 on Feb. 17 and returned home with a 56-39 win over Pulaski.

Although the win didn’t count in the Central Wisconsin Conference-East standings, it will help the Bears’ cause when it comes to seeding for the upcoming WIAA state tournament, according to coach Duke Copp.
