In their first playoff action, the Macks (13-4, 8-4 Western Cloverbelt Conference) came out of the gate with fire and fury against the Red Raiders (14-4, 10-2 East Lakeland Conference), who were riding high off a conference championship and first round victory over rival Lake Holcombe.
With energetic, relentless pressure defense and unselfish offense, McDonell poured in 40 points in the first half and cruised to a Regional Final.
WOGO "RadioActive" Award Watch:
Senior guard Jake Siegenthaler showed his athleticism on multiple drives to the hoop and ended with a game-high 14 points, while senior center Tanner Opsal was a force on both ends of the floor and tallied 12, matched by the dozen of speedy junior guard Dan Anderson.
