Looking to avenge a one-point loss from December, the South Winn boys’ basketball team (7-5, 6-3 UIC) had its hands full as the Warriors hosted Turkey Valley boys’ (8-4, 6-3 UIC) Friday night. In the end, the Warriors came up short again, 63-57.
The pace was a quick one in the first period and Caleb Kurtenbach came off the bench to ignite the Trojans with seven points as TV led 13-10 after the first quarter. In the second, South Winn took a turn with the momentum that began with a one-and-one by Dawson Wenthold. Add in a pair of Braiden Todd baskets and one by Carson Wenthold and the game was all tied up at 14 with 4:36 left to play in the first half. Then the pendulum swung back to Turkey Valley as the Trojans went on a 7-2 run to close out the frame to lead 25-20.

Then the pendulum swung back to Turkey Valley as the Trojans went on a 7-2 run to close out the frame to lead 25-20.
   Turkey Valley was quick to the basket in the third and made it a 10-point game before South Winn got the deficit back to four, 41-37, with eight minutes to play. A quick three by D. Wenthold to start the fourth period put South Winn within one point, 41-40, but that would be as close as the Warriors would get as Kurtenbach knocked down back-to-back three-pointers to push the Trojans back out front 48-40 with 6:21 to play. The yo-yo effect continued to flow as South Winn would close to within six in the final minutes, only to see the Trojans pull away, eventually taking the win.
   Kurtenbach set the stage for the boy Trojan win with 22 points, while Noah Hanson provided 16 and Calvin Bodensteiner added 14. Bodensteiner led TV in rebounds with eight, while Hanson hauled in six to go with seven steals.
   For the Warriors it was Dawson Wenthold at the helm with 15 points and seven rebounds. Carson Wenthold was a close second with 14 points and four steals, while Braiden Todd knocked down 10 points.
