WAUSAU – The Auburndale boys basketball team was on the ropes at halftime, but regrouped and knocked off Wausau Newman Catholic 59-52 in a Marawood Conference South Division matchup Friday night at Newman High School.

The win propels the Apaches, ranked third in this week’s WisSports.Net Division 4 state coaches poll, to their 17th straight win to start the season and 11th win in a row in the Marawood South. Newman falls to 4-13 and 3-8 in the conference.

Auburndale continues its quest for an undefeated season with a nonconference home game against Loyal on Tuesday and a Marawood South game at home next Thursday against Pittsville.
