The Waukon boys basketball team had its 2014-2015 season brought to completion with a split of what turned out to be its final two games of the season played within this past week. The Indians first ended their regular season with a 57-47 home win over Charles City Tuesday, February 17 to finish in a fourth-place tie with Crestwood in the final Northeast Iowa Conference (NEIC) team standings with a 5-7 NEIC record. That same Crestwood team, however, would stand for nothing even close to a tie when they faced off against the Indians in the opening round of Class 3A district tournament play Monday, February 23 at Decorah, ending the Indians’ season with a 58-35 defeat. The loss completes the Indians’ season with an overall record of 12-10. Crestwood advances on to the district championship game this Thursday, February 26 to play Decorah in the Waukon High School gym beginning at 7 p.m., with that winner advancing on to the substate championship game Monday, March 2 at the U.S. Cellular Center in Cedar Rapids. Decorah routed Oelwein, 74-35, in the second half of the Monday, February 23 district doubleheader on the Vikings’ home court.
