The New Glarus Knights, who were seeded #2 for the WIAA D3 tournament, hosted #6 seeded Prairie du Chien on February 19th. Prairie du Chien had beaten #3 Lancaster to advance. New Glarus held a 27-23 lead over PDC at the halftime break. The Knights won the game, 54-38.
During the game, Mason Martinson became the fourth boys basketball player in New Glarus High School history to score his 1,000th career point. The others include Larry Retrum (1995), Jaden Kreklow (2018) and Zach Feller (2018).

On Saturday, February 20, 2021, New Glarus Vision held a Fisheree at Hoesly Pond to raise money for the Books 4 Kids program, and to introduce kids to ice fishing. Organizers reported raising over $900 at the event. Books 4 Kids started four years ago with the mission of giving every elementary school student in the New Glarus School District a few books at the end of the school year. New Glarus Vision provides the books through fundraising, donations from our local residents and discounts from the book supplier, Books4School.

Two New Glarus High School seniors have qualified as finalists in the 2021 National Merit Scholarship Program. Those two students are Ben Copeland and Merrick Fong.
