Sugar River Euchre

The final playoff match of the first half, held on February 6th, was a nail biter, much like this year's super bowl. The Screaming Eagles were up by 1 after one, then down 1 and then 2 after three frames. The match was even after four frames, at which point the Express shoved the throttle ahead a notch to take a 26-point lead after five. Eagle Heights flapped their wings a few times to gain altitude in the sixth frame to swoop within 6 of the Express. But unable to maintain altitude, the Eagles finished 11 points short of derailing the Express.

Wildcats Defeat Waterloo by a Single Point

The Belleville Wildcats boys basketball team played three games last week.
On Thursday, February 8th, the team traveled south on Highway 69 to face the Monticello Ponies. 
Leading by 8 at the half, the Wildcats probably thought they could easily beat the Ponies.  The Ponies felt otherwise.  Monticello's Reece Rufer hit two 3-point shots in less than a minute to close the gap to 3 in the final seconds of the game, but the Wildcats sunk two free throws to pull ahead and win by 2.  The final score was Belleville 52, Monticello 50.
