In their final home game of the season, this time in a Sectional Final, the Macks (16-4, 8-4 Western Cloverbelt Conference) matched the hot-shooting Lakers (16-8, 7-3 Central Lakeland Conference) shot for shot in the first half and used a late 10-0 run to pull ahead by eight at the break.
In the second McDonell withstood an early charge by Turtle Lake, got timely offensive contributions throughout their lineup, and held their opponent at arm's length to the final buzzer, earning a trip back to the WIAA Division 5 State Tournament!
