Happy New Year to everyone. WWS hopes you and your loved ones had a great Christmas and New Year. WWS would also like to thank you for making 2007 our most successful year ever and we look forward to serving you in 2008.

 

One of the biggest non-conference clashes of the boys basketball regular season takes place tonight at the Doghouse in Eau Claire as New Richmond takes on Eau Claire North. It should be a great game and be sure to see our take on it in our top 5 games feature.

 

Congratulations to UW-River Falls Women's basketball coach Cindy Hovet on her 100th win last month.

 

We regret we overlooked UW-Oshkosh Men's basketball coach Ted Van Dellen earning his 300th win in our most recent column but congratulations to him and congratulation to the Titans on being in first place in the WIAC conference entering 2008.

 

The combined records of Rice Lake, River Falls, Eau Claire Memorial and Chippewa Falls is an impressive 28-5 as of this writing in the very stacked girls Big Rivers Conference. That conference could send two teams to state.

 

I guess we should have a Top 6 games of the week this week with the top boys team in the Western Cloverbelt Conference Eau Claire Regis hosting Eleva-Strum who is the top team in the Small Dairyland Conference on Saturday afternoon. Look for the Cardinals to get the win in this one by ten.

 

Look for some new and improved things on West Wisconsin Sports in 2008. Enjoy the games everyone and keep coming back for your scores and standings.
