During Black River Falls Tiger baseball’s co-op with Fall Creek for the past two seasons, the team gained five players and one coach.

“Last year we relied heavily on two Fall Creek boys for pitching and we didn’t really use any BRF pitchers,” said junior Aidan Gunderson.

But with the co-op contract ending, BRF had to find a solution.

“This year we spread out our pitching a little bit more. We have a lot of really good pitchers this year,” said Gunderson.

Although they didn’t lose very many players, and spots were opened back up for Black River Falls athletes, there was a loss with the connections that had been built.

“I had a better connection with Nathan. He knew where I wanted to throw it when I wanted to throw it, compared to Cole,” said Gunderson. “I love that guy. Nathan, if you’re seeing this I love you come home please I miss you.”

As they persevere from the loss of their fellow teammates, they also look forward to the new rivalry game they’ll be able to play in.

On Saturday April, 13 the softball team traveled to Stanley Boyd. The girls went 1-1 in the tournament with a 7-5 win to Stanley Boyd and a 3-13 loss to Mondovi. 

“Our first game went better because it wasn’t as hot and we didn’t have a game in us. Once it got to the second game we started changing things around and going to spots people weren’t used to. It didn’t work out like we thought it would. The conditions for the second game were 10 times hotter, so a lot of us were already tired because of the heat and we already had a game in us,” said freshman Jada Olver.

In the east, the boys tennis team traveled to Brown Deer for a tournament. Overall the team went 2-3 in the tournament. But the boys found themselves making a lot of improvement over their four matches each.
