Waukon boys basketball team wins one of three during busy week

A second consecutive three-game schedule for the Waukon boys basketball team went a bit better than its predecessor, the Indians winning two of their three contests this past week to wrap up their regular season. The week began with an 82-62 loss at Decorah Tuesday, February 6 that could prove to be the difference between a lone or shared third-place finish in the final Northeast Iowa Conference (NEIC) standings pending the Vikings’ final NEIC game at Crestwood February 13. The Tribe bounced back from that loss to finish the week with a 90-71 home win at South Winneshiek Thursday, February 8 before closing out their NEIC and regular season with a 63-55 win at New Hampton Saturday, February 10 in a game postponed by weather from the previous evening.

The results of that final busy week leave the Indians’ season record at 13-8 overall, including a Northeast Iowa Conference (NEIC) mark of 7-5 that leaves the Tribe in third place in the latest NEIC standings, with either a lone or shared standing still pending.

The Tribe will now begin postseason tournament play this Thursday, February 15 at home against Jesup, beginning at 7 p.m.
