Garrett Rogowski has a lot on his plate and wouldn’t want it any other way.

As administrator of the Wittenberg-Birnamwood School District, a position he has held since 2009, he deals with budgets, staffing and overseeing a district that includes three schools in two communities.

He’s also in his seventh season of coaching the Chargers boys basketball team.

Xavier 57, Shawano 51

With a major milestone in her sights, Shawano’s Leah Nordin entered the Jan. 9 home game against Xavier just 11 points shy of 2,000 career points.

A layup in the game put the UW-bound senior in the record books.

Wittenberg-Birnamwood wrestler Ben Miller earned his 150th career win Jan. 10 at the Merrill Invitational. To top off his day, he also finished in first place in his weight class.

South Central 6, Shawano 2

South Central defeated Shawano 6-2 at the Merrill Tournament.

The Navigators took a 2-0 lead after the first period.

Gavin Hundt got Shawano/Bonduel on the board at 15:58 in the second period with assistance from Quinten Harkey.

Can the Menominee Nation girls basketball team compete in the Central Wisconsin Conference-East without its leading scorer?

The Eagles answered that question Jan. 8 in its first of two matchups this season with Weyauwega-Fremont. Menominee Nation led for most of the game before dropping a 47-41 decision on the Warhawks’ home court.

Three days after a 30-point home loss to Bonduel, it was gut-check time for the Wittenberg-Birnamwood boys basketball team.

Mission accomplished.

The Chargers headed to Iola on Jan. 9 for a Central Wisconsin Conference-East matchup with Iola-Scandinavia and returned home with a 56-41 win over the Thunderbirds.
