West Central split a pair of boys’ basketball games last week and had a third postponed by the weather.

Tuesday, Jan. 7, two-time defending UIC champion MFL/MM was too much for the Devils, claiming a 64-48 win in Monona.

However, WC went up a couple of classes to beat Oelwein, 47-45, on the Huskies’ home court.

The Friday visit by Postville was postponed until   Monday, Feb. 3, because of the fog and ice that enveloped northeast Iowa.
