Two state-ranked teams, a combined a record of 23-1 and first place in the conference on the line added up to an intriguing girls basketball matchup Jan. 13 in Bonduel.

The intrigue didn’t last very long, however, as Wittenberg-Birnamwood held Bonduel to 12 points in the first half and cruised to a 58-35 win over the Bears.

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.

Friday, Jan. 9

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.
