High School Highlights

BOYS BASKETBALL Bonduel 71 Wittenberg-Birnamwood 49 Bonduel outscored the Chargers in every quarter Tuesday in Wittenberg. Both teams hit eight 3-pointers, but Bonduel outscored Witt-Birn 15-5 at the free-throw line. The Chargers committed 18 turnovers. Bonduel had seven turnovers, but also recorded 14 steals. Witt-Birn coach Lon Ebel said he was disappointed by his team’s performance. “We flat out got outhustled, and that’s what’s most disappointing,” he said. “We need someone to step up and take leadership of this team and it hasn’t happened yet. Offensively, when we weren’t turning the ball over and executed, we did some nice things. But we don’t have much of a chance any night we give up 71 points.” Colton Dobratz led Bonduel with 24 points and was joined in double-figures by Connor Rosin and Peyton Czarapata, each with 11. Four Chargers scored eight points each: Trevor Groshek, Kyle Adamski, Matt Kapitz and Trevor Stewart. Gresham 64 Wis.

We didn’t take good care of the ball and allowed them 13 points off of turnovers.” The Bears (11-0, 6-0 Central Wisconsin-8) were led by Jen Dowden with 19 points. “It was a huge victory for us tonight; a battle between unbeatens, and we won,” Bonduel coach Missy Dowden said.
