It was a rare tough weekend for WACO Warriors basketball, with both teams dropping games at the Southeast Iowa Super Conference Shootout. That included the WACO boys seeing their undefeated season come to a close after a 56-44 loss Saturday against West Burlington. The Warriors, ranked fourth in the state in Class 1A, did not have enough firepower to stop the number-six team in 2A from staying perfect. Instead, WACO is now 19-1 ahead of its regular-season finale tomorrow night against Pekin.

The WACO girls also fell, losing 51-45 Friday against Burlington Notre Dame. Warriors senior Ellah Kissell hit four three-pointers and scored 22 points, while junior Emma Wagler added 13 points of her own, but it wasn’t enough to keep WACO from falling to 17-4. Next up for WACO is hosting Keota Thursday night in the first round of the 1A-Region 8 tournament.
