The Milwaukee Bucks provide Wisconsin’s high school basketball teams an opportunity to play a game at Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee.

Waupaca and Wautoma’s girls’ teams took the Bucks up on the offer and headed to Milwaukee Nov. 23 for a nonconference game.

Wautoma improved to 4-0 with a 61-39 win, while the Comets fell to 0-4.

Waupaca also fell to Fox Valley Lutheran Nov. 22 in the North Eastern Conference opener for both teams.
