The start to the new year has not been kind to the Kee boys basketball team, as the Hawks have fallen in all three of their games played so far in 2025, with all three of those losses coming to Upper Iowa Conference (UIC) foes. The first two of those Kee losses came against teams they entered the new year sharing the UIC lead with without a loss in league play prior to the holiday break, falling at overall undefeated North Fayette Valley Friday, January 3 by a 58-41 final result before also falling at UIC-undefeated MFL/MarMac Tuesday, January 7, 65-57 and closing out the week with a 51-40 loss at home to South Winneshiek Friday, January 10.
Now holding a 5-5 overall record that includes an Upper Iowa Conference mark of 5-3, Kee’s boys were scheduled to venture outside the UIC for a Monday, January 13 road game at New Hampton before playing back-to-back games to end that week, traveling to Turkey Valley Friday, January 17 and then playing Aplington-Parkersburg in the UIU Shootout hosted Upper Iowa University (UIU) in Fayette Saturday, January 18. The Hawks will then play at Postville Tuesday, January 21 before hosting both De Soto, WI and West Central on back-to-back nights Thursday and Friday, January 23-24.
