The 2014-2015 Kee girls basketball season proved to be the best in the history of the Hawks’ five-on-five program, and there are plenty of numbers to back up that claim. First and foremost in those numbers is the 21-4 record the Hawks compiled this season, the most wins, by far, of any previous Kee five-on-five girls basketball season, according to head coach Danny Love.
Improving on that previous best single-season record of 13-8 from the 2007-2008 season on the way to advancing to the Class 1A Region 4 championship game and the brink of a State Tournament berth was just one of the many highlights Coach Love has drawn from this past season. But he sees this season as having a much bigger impact than just another entry in the school record books.

Fielding its largest team member numbers in several seasons, the Waukon girls track team looks to broaden its recent season-end success during the 2015 season under first-year head coach Bob Wasson. A total of 17 veterans return with previous varsity letterwinning experience to headline this year’s team of 36 young ladies reporting for early-season duty.
“I feel that we have a very strong core group of runners returning from last year and we have a number of new participants that I feel will be able to make an immediate impact,” Coach Wasson said in regard to the outlook for his first season at the Waukon girls track helm. “I am looking forward to getting on the track and seeing how we compare with other area schools.”

The 2014-2015 Waukon girls basketball team played to a 7-15 season record under first-year head coach Andy Sires. That season mark included a 4-8 result that placed the Lady Indians in fifth place in the final Northeast Iowa Conference team standings.
Half of this season’s Northeast Iowa Conference losses came to teams that were both ranked within this season’s top 10 in their respective classes and made their way to every team’s ultimate destination, as Class 4A Waverly-Shell Rock and Class 3A Crestwood topped this season’s final Northeast Iowa Conference standings and played their way to State Tournament berths. Within those four losses, however, Coach Sires said he saw some of the best basketball his charges played this season.
