The Waukon girls basketball team played through a busy week with three games played over five nights, first extending its new year win streak to seven consecutive games before having its 2025 undefeated run brought to a halt by the last team to have beaten them prior to that new year streak. The extension of that new year streak began with wins of 45-27 over South Winneshiek at home Monday, January 27 and 55-24 at Sumner-Fredericksburg Thursday, January 30 before Class 4A Decorah finally snapped the bucket Tribe’s 2025 undefeated stretch with a 46-39 home loss Friday, January 31 in a battle for Northeast Iowa Conference (NEIC) supremacy between two squads with a single NEIC loss coming into the contest.

Now holding an 11-6 season record, including a 3-2 mark in Northeast Iowa Conference (NEIC) play, the Lady Indians were next scheduled to host Central Elkader Monday, February 3 and Riceville Thursday, February 6 before playing home games on back-to-back nights, against La Crescent-Hokah, MN Monday, February 10 and then against Crestwood Tuesday, February 11. They will then await their Class 3A Regional Tournament assignment, which has yet to be released.
