I-S boys remain undefeated
By Holly Neumann
Not only did the Iola-Scandinavia boys’ basketball team run its record to 16-0, the Thunderbirds also wrapped up their fourth Central Wisconsin Conference-East championship.
The T-Birds built a 27-12 halftime lead and held on to top Amherst 43-40 Feb. 1 at Iola-Scandinavia High School.
Parker Prahl scored 14 of his game-high 23 points in the first half before the Falcons outscored the home team 28-16 in the second half.
“It was hard-earned,” coach Sam Bertsch said. “Getting the fourth conference championship is always nice. Getting it on your home court makes it very meaningful.”
Brock Wester added eight points for the T-Birds, while Tyler Soulsby led Amherst with 15.
