Chippewa Valley This Week
In a neutral site game at Colfax, the Lady Macks (2-2, 1-0 Western Cloverbelt Conference) feel behind very early to the aggressive and experienced Mounders (5-0, 1-0 Dunn-St. Croix) WCC), who looked every bit a team that began last year at 27-0.
After halftime, Elk Mound continued to surge, pulling away to remain perfect on the season.
Back at the Northwest Tipoff Classic at UW-Stout, the Macks (2-2, 0-0 Western Cloverbelt Conference) built an early double-digit lead, but watched it evaporate against the athletic Cardinals (3-1, Middle Border Conference), who rode hot shooting to tie the game at the half.
After the break, the Macks slowly pulled back out in front, but struggled to execute in the game's final minutes after Prescott made a run. Late turnovers also proved to be costly, and the Macks couldn't quite hold on.
After four ties early the Chippewa Falls(0-3) grabbed a 13-10 lead before Superior(2-2) went on a 9-0 run to pull ahead 19-13. The Spartans then led at the half 25-19 after Grant Von Haden hit the Cards only 3-pointer of the game just before intermission.
The closest the Cards could get in the 2nd half was 25-21 before Superior went on to a 46-37 win. Unofficially CF had 18 turnovers to just 8 for Superior.

Eau Claire Memorial(4-1, 1-0) jumped out to a 17-point lead before Sarah Chaffee got Chippewa Falls(0-4, 0-1) on the scoreboard. However the Abes continued to pour it on leading 40-7 at the half and going on to a 68-16 victory.
Our coverage begins with the final two minutes of regulation and the full four minute overtime of Chi High's 56-55 JV win over Stevens Point, with freshman guard Kobe Twyman winning the game with a layup just before the buzzer.
In the varsity game that followed Stevens Point(2-1) got out to a 25-point lead two-thirds of the way into the 1st half on their way to a 75-52 win over CF(0-2). Late in the game Twyman scored his first varsity points with a layup and a banked in 3-pointer.
On the road for their conference opener, the Lady Macks (2-1, 1-0 Western Cloverbelt Conference) went toe-to-toe early with the Ramblers (3-1, 0-1 WCC), but ran into foul trouble and fell behind by nine at the break.
After halftime, both teams settled in defensively, and Regis extended their lead to double digits. Slowly but surely, however, McDonell fought their way back, closing the gap, retaking the lead, and hanging on for a huge early season victory.

On the road for their season opener, the Macks (1-0, 0-0 Western Cloverbelt Conference) built an early double-digit lead, but watched it evaporate against the long and talented Vikings (0-1, 0-0 Dunn-St. Croix), who fought back and took a two-point advantage into halftime.
After the break, Colfax scored the first seven points, as McDonell went over 5 minutes into the second half without scoring. Patience prevailed, however, as the veteran Macks squad used hassling pressure defense and hustle plays to eliminate the deficit and eventually build a double-digit lead once again, this time carrying it through to the finish.
