So much for growing pains. Forget about that first year learning curve. Mount Horeb’s boys swimming team — in its first season as an independent — is sending all six of its swimmers to state. The Vikings had several swimmers shine at the last Saturday’s WIAA Division 2 Sauk Prairie Sectional and...

The postseason began in earnest for the Mount Horeb boys swimming team last Saturday. For the first time, the Vikings were competing as a separate program after previously participating in a co-op with Verona High School.

One scoreboard didn’t read the way Mount Horeb’s girls basketball team had hoped. Another read absolutely perfectly. The Vikings lost a pair of games last week, dropping a 77-48 decision to New Glarus on Jan. 30 and falling to Madison Edgewood, 54-38, on Feb. 2. But first semester grades were also...

Todd Nesheim knows a lot would have to go right. Nesheim’s Mount Horeb boys basketball team can’t stumble again inside the Badger West Conference. The Vikings will likely need some help along the way. But Mount Horeb’s dreams of a conference title remained alive and well after it toppled visiting...

MILWAUKEE — Rocco Richie didn’t take a two-hour bus ride so he could ride the pine. But that’s just where Mount Horeb’s senior standout found himself at the start of the second half when the Vikings met Portage at the Fiserv Forum on Feb. 2. “Coach was doing that on purpose because I was not...
