We said it would be a tough week for the Boone Central girls and that’s one of those predictions you hope to be wrong on ... but alas.

Thursday, Feb. 1: Mid-State Conference Girls Basketball Tournament, TBD; BC Middle School Boys Basketball at Fullerton, 4:30 p.m.

Boone Central hosted Lakeview and Scotus for dual wrestling action Thursday. The Boone boys earned a split with the Columbus schools while the Lady Cardinals were edged by Lakeview.

The Boone Central boys bowling team headed to Columbus to face the Class A #1 Discoverers Jan. 22. The Cards kept it close but ultimately fell short, losing the two regular games (647-701, 694-736). The boys were able to claim victory in the Baker game to make the final score 12-9. Preston Trollope led the team with a high of 184. Colton Wissenberg was close behind with a high of 161, followed by Clay Sandman with a 140.

Although shorthanded Boone Central did not challenge for the team championship, Cardinal Coach Josh Majerus was pleased with the efforts by his wrestlers in the Gibbon Bill Foster Invite. Boone finished fifth in the team standings, led by champions Hank Hudson (215) and Thomas Roberts, runner-up Gavin Mauch (120), and medalists Daron Dozler (144, 3rd) and Landon Winter (113, 4th).

After multiple weather delays and reschedules, basketball was finally back on the court for Boone Central’s middle school teams. Tipping off the 2024 season, the Cardinal middle school A team was victorious in a dominating 54-25 win against the Pierce Bluejays on Monday, Jan.
