The Wauzeka-Steuben Hornets boys basketball team continued their homestand last week with a pair of home games against conference foes North Crawford and De Soto.
First up for the Hornets was a visit by the North Crawford Trojans (ranked second in the latest D5 media poll) on Tuesday, Jan. 20.
The Trojans, coming off a tough 85-80 double overtime loss at home to conference foe and no. 1 ranked Kickapoo five days beforehand, handed the Hornets a 91-46 defeat. Stats from this game were not available as of press time.
Wauzeka-Steuben wrapped up the week two nights later when they hosted the De Soto Pirates, who are currently third in the Ridge & Valley Conference standings.
The visiting Pirates defeated the Hornets 69-35. Stats from this game were also not available as of press time.
De Soto improved to 9-4 overall and 4-2 in the Ridge & Valley Conference while the Hornets dropped to 1-10 overall and 1-5 in the conference.
The Hornets began a two-game slate this week this past Monday night when they hosted Brookwood in a non-conference matchup. Wauzeka-Steuben will wrap the week up this Thursday night at 7:15 p.m. when they travel to Cazenovia to take on the Weston Silver Eagles.
