wraps up with a home match against Coeur d'Alene
Charter. Regardless of the outcomes Thursday, it
bodes an exciting district tournament, which

Despite the loss, the Badgers didn't disappoint,

But for the team's seniors, who were honored
before the start of the varsity game, it wasn't
the way they wanted fans to remember an awesome
