Gilman’s Casey Grunseth and Medford’s Kirsten Weix won the event’s overall individual championships, Medford’s Landen Viergutz wasn’t far off and Gilman’s Reece Weir and Medford’s Dylan Emmerich also took home first-place awards at the National Archery in the Schools Program shoot held Friday and Saturday at Medford Area Middle School. The tournament drew 680 entries, including

The thought when La Crosse Central beat the host Medford Raiders 67-58 in non-conference play back on Feb. 4 was the teams weren’t done with each other this season. Nearly five weeks later, that anticipated rematch is upon us. For the fourth time in two seasons, the Riverhawks and Raiders will collide tonight, Thursday, and for the second time in those meetings, it’s a win-or-go-home

Veronica Mateer completes a round off on the balance beam and Ellison Carbaugh jumps into her vault routine during team competition Friday afternoon at the WIAA Division 2 state gymnastics championships at Wisconsin Rapids. The Medford-Colby squad placed seventh out of 10 teams on Friday with a score of 135.2167, the Raiders’ second-highest mark of the season. The Medford-Colby gymnastics

A strong start for the Medford wrestlers didn’t carry all the way through the WIAA Division 2 individual state championship tournament the way they wanted, but the Raiders group of four came home with two medals, five combined wins and, for three of them, motivation to hopefully earn the opportunity to do better next year. Senior Thad Sigmund and junior Logan Kawa each won two matches with

It was a successful medal-winning trip to the WIAA Division 3 individual state wrestling championships for Cornell-Gilman- Lake Holcombe’s Troy Duellman, but there might not have been another wrestler in the entire tournament who was closer to some really big things than he was.

What turned into a three-team battle for two team sectional berths Saturday went right down to the final matches at the WIAA Division 2 Osceola super regional where the Medford Raiders got just enough wins to get one of those spots at Tuesday’s St. Croix Central team sectional. The Raiders pulled off a bit of an upset, getting by state-ranked Amery for second place 240-232. St. Croix Falls won

The Great Northern Conference boys basketball championship came down to one point and 7.5 seconds Friday, and, fortunately for the Medford Raiders, they had the one-point advantage over Northland Pines and came up with that last all-important stop to clinch the first of their lofty end-ofyear goals. Logan Baumgartner and Charlie Gierl teamed up to smother Ryan Muench’s attempt to score off

MEDFORD GIRLS HOCKEY FLYING PAST THE EAGLES As the shots on goal and shots that didn’t quite hit the net added up Tuesday, the Medford girls hockey team held on to one thought in its second matchup of the season with Northland Pines. Just keep shooting. Exactly like the first meeting, a 3-2 win back on Dec. 16, that mentality paid off with the Raiders eventually overturning a 1-0 deficit

With convincing wins over Lakeland and Antigo Friday, the Medford wrestlers extended their Great Northern Conference dual-meet winning streak to 22, capped a fourth straight undefeated GNC dual-meet season and all but assured themselves of being able to call themselves conference champions for the fifth straight season. Unlike the split titles the past two years with Tomahawk, the Raiders don’t

Tanner Vlach hit the game-tying 3-point shot and scored 23 points and Donovan Sutherland made big plays at both ends late in Rib Lake’s thrilling 73-70 overtime win over visiting Phillips Friday.
