Basketball
- The RHS girls' basketball team finished with a shoestring roster, but still managed to beat Wausau East in Wausau Jan. 24.
Sam Hoppe hurt her ankle in the first half and did not return, leaving the Lady Hodags with five players for the remainder of the game. Coach Mark Jacobson noted that two of the players finished the game with four fouls. Riley Aschenbrenner tallied 18 points for the Lady Hodags and was a big factor on the glass.
"We learned on the fly how to play smart on defense," he said. "I do believe every girl scored and they broke the full court pressure very effectively to get a lot of nice open looks. I really enjoy working with this bunch."
- The RHS freshman boys' basketball team lost to Lakeland 43-37 on Jan. 19 at the Central Intermediate School gym. Mason Shallow paced the Hodags with 14 points. Cole Oettinger had eight and Isaac Wendt had seven.
