The 2025 season began last Tuesday, Apr. 1 for the Prairie du Chien/River Ridge/Seneca girls soccer team when they took on Wisconsin Heights/Barneveld at Wisconsin Heights High School outside of Mazomanie.  The Knights took an early 2-0 in the first half and the score stayed the same until halfway through the second half when PdC/RR/Seneca senior Allison Mathies got the Hawks on the scoreboard with their first goal of the season to bring the Hawks within one goal. The Knights would respond with a third goal a few minutes later and despite a few close chances late, the match ended 3-1 in favor of the Knights.

The Prairie du Chien Blackhawks baseball team kicked off their 2025 season this past Friday evening when they hosted the La Crosse Central Riverhawks. After a scoreless top of the first inning by Prairie starting pitcher Abe Amundson, the Hawks took an early 3-0 lead thanks to two hits, two walks, an error and a ground out.

The lead would be short lived as the Riverhawks used two walks, two singles and a double in the top of the second inning to tie the game 3-3. Both teams seemed to settle down for the rest of regulation as the Hawks just missed a walk-off victory in the bottom of the seventh inning.
