WATERTOWN — The Cheesemakers used a smothering defense to get revenge on the Goslings, pulling out a 42-27 win Jan. 25. Watertown had previously beaten the Cheesemakers by five in early December.

In the second go-round, Monroe led 15-10 at halftime, but outscored Watertown 27-17 in the second half to secure the victory.

Sydney Hilliard scored a game-high 17 points, while Emily Benzschawel had nine and Megan Benzschawel seven. Watertown (12-5, 6-3 Badger South) was without a player in double figures and finished 25 points below its season average and 12 points under its previous low-score of the year.

Monroe (11-5, 6-3) remains two games behind Badger South leader Monona Grove (15-1, 8-1) with a matchup slated for Feb. 5. Stoughton (10-6, 7-2) is scheduled to come to Monroe Jan. 31.

JUDA — Montana Steinmann had 23 points and Paige Price added 11, but the Eagles outscored the Panthers 31-15 in the first half and cruised to a Six Rivers East victory Jan. 24.

After falling behind early, Juda resorted to the 3-ball and found some offensive production. The Panthers hit six of their seven 3s in the game in the second half, with Steinmann connecting on three and Price hitting two of her three long-balls in the game’s final 18 minutes. 

Black Hawk 75, Argyle 39

Wauzeka-Steuben 89, Argyle 84

WAUZEKA — The tenth-ranked Orioles trailed eighth-ranked Wauzeka-Steuben 40-35 at halftime and didn’t quit the rest of the game Jan. 26.

“This was one of the absolute best games we have played all season. It was just like a tournament game,” Argyle coach Nicole Allison said.

Jena Saalsaa had 24 points to lead Argyle, including 16 in the first half. Tori Lantz had 20, Kirsten Ostby 18 and Alysabeth Lantz 11.

Wauzeka-Steuben freshman Maddy Reichmann led all-scorers with 35 points.

“The first half Jena Saalsaa dominated. Wauzeka-Steuben struggled to have an answer for her. They have a freshman phenomenon that put up 35 points and we kept fresh defenders on her all game,” Allison said. “The difference maker was they were able to capitalize on a few more and-1 baskets than we did.”
