While getting a little help from their friends the Dodgeville boys basketball was putting the finishing touches on a very lopsided win over Prairie du Chien to close out their SWC and regular season Friday.

While the Dodgers were turning back the Blackhawks 88-32 River Valley was knocking off Lancaster and Platteville was easing past Richland Center. With that combination three teams – Dodgeville, Lancaster, Platteville – share the 2025-26 SWC crown with 7-3 records.

The Dodgers had 13 players make it into the scorebook in a game where the outcome was never in doubt. Starters Jayce Halverson and Bryce Crubaugh-Lockard had 13 and 12 points with Isaiah Argall picking up 13 off he bench.

Sam Kramer led Prairie with seven points.

The Dodgers finished the regular season 15-9.
