The Red Raiders to end January suffered their first loss of the season to Brookfield East. Since, they have won three straight road games and two of them were this week. They beat Menomonee Falls (70-53) and Wauwatosa West (83-32), and they go on the road again to West Salem this weekend (Feb. 15).
20 straight wins for the Crusaders. Like they have been doing, they went on the road and won convincingly against Reedsburg (62-32). However, the Spartans gave them a scare on that win streak in Laconia, but Edgewood still prevailed (61-59). Their next game is away at Sauk Prairie (Feb. 11).
The Warriors had a full home stand last week, but this week they went on the road. They beat Kettle Moraine (58-26) and Waukesha North/South (68-20), so it was an easy week for them. They get to play at home again against Divine Savior Holy Angels this week (Feb. 11).
