The South Winn basketball team (17-5, 12-4 UIC) closed out the regular portion of the season Monday, winning its last five games and finishing third in the Upper Iowa Conference.

Doubling up
Friday night South Winn was on target all night, as the SW Warriors hosted the Warriors of Central Elkader (9-13, 6-10 UIC) picking up the lopsided victory 72-38.
Out of the gate, SW seemingly couldn’t miss as it took a 22-10 lead after the opening frame and stretched the lead to 43-16 at the break. Central had a better third period, but it wasn’t enough as SW outscored the visitors 29-22 in the second half.
South Winn had four players in double figures with Kaden Barton-Franzen pacing the squad with 15 points and five rebounds. Freshman Jordan Einck had a double-double with 14 points and 10 boards while Matson Winings put up 13 points and pulled down seven caroms. Nolan Sabelka added 10 points, six assists and three steals. Braiden Todd fell short of the double digits with nine points to go with seven assists, four rebounds and three steals.
