Also, Congrats to the Viroqua 16-and-under (Junior Legion) for making it to the 16U Junior Legion State Tourney in Burlington.  Unfortunately, Viroqua lost both its games at State.  It is still quite an accomplishment to get to State at this level, since there are no classes splitting up small v. large cities at the 16U level.
