12/29/22 Basketball: Onalaska-46 Chippewa Falls Girls-38

   After seeing Onalaska(4-4, 3-2) get out to a 12-3 lead, the Cards(1-7, 0-5) scored six straight to cut the deficit to three, before the Hilltoppers poured in nine unanswered and went to intermission leading CF, 21-12.

In the 2nd half the Cards raised their intensity and started to hit some shots, climbing within one at 38-37, with the ball. However, the Cards could only manage one more made free throw the rest of the way as they lost 46-38.


WOGO "RadioActive" Award Watch: Seniors Brooklyn Sandvig and Ava Reuter led Chi High's 2nd half comeback, with Sandvig leading the way with 11 points and Reuter scoring 10.
Sandvig's back-to-back layups off steals helped the Cards cut Onalaska's five point lead to one, but they couldn't get closer than that.

12/29/22 Basketball: McDonell Macks 93, Chequamegon 51

In the finale of the first annual Denny Laramy Holiday Classic, the Macks (10-0, 2-0 Western Cloverbelt Conference) faced a physically imposing team in the Screaming Eagles (4-6, 2-4 Marawood North Conference), but came out of the gate with fire and passion on each end of the floor, pouring in 51 points before halftime and leaving their opponent reeling. 

In the second half the Macks continued their momentum, and, thanks to a record-setting performance, put forth their highest offensive output of the year as they rolled to a running clock and their tenth straight win.

                                                                                       
WOGO "RadioActive" Award Watch:
Senior guard/forward Canan Huss scored 15 of his 22 points in the first half, but his stellar performance may have been slightly overshadowed: on Coach Adam Schilling's birthday, fellow senior Eddie Mittermeyer played the game of his life, hitting an awe-inspiring 13 threes and finishing with a sensational 52 points!

12/29/22 Basketball: McDonell Lady Macks 79, Luck 13

On the final day of the Denny Laramy Holiday Classic, the Lady Macks (7-3, 5-0 Western Cloverbelt Conference) looked to bounce back from a tight loss the night before as they faced the Cardinals (1-6, 1-2 West Lakeland Conference).

Right out of the gate, McDonell dominated both ends of the floor as they exploded to a 43-6 halftime advantage, never looking back and forcing a running clock. 11 players scored for the Lady Macks as they ended 2022 on an emphatically high note.


WOGO "RadioActive" Award Watch:
Junior forward Aubrey Dorn notched a game-high 17 points for the second consecutive night, with her frontcourt mate, sophomore Sophie Schmidgall, right behind with 14. Junior guard Emily Cooper tallied 12, and senior guard/forward Marley Hughes added 11 as four Lady Macks finished in double figures.

12/28/22 Basketball: Hillsboro 54, McDonell Lady Macks 50

In the first night finale of the Denny Laramy Holiday Classic, the Lady Macks (6-3, 5-0 Western Cloverbelt Conference) faced a fellow Division 5 powerhouse in the Tigers (8-1, 3-1 Scenic Bluffs Conference), a senior-laden squad looking for a statement win.

In a game of runs, McDonell saw their 10-point lead in the first half dissolve into a 26-26 tie, while Hillsboro similarly witnessed a double-digit advantage slip away in the second half. 

It was in the late minutes, however, that the Tigers were able to knock down clutch shots and tally an impressive victory on the road.. 


WOGO "RadioActive" Award Watch:
Junior forward Aubrey Dorn notched a game-high 17 points, while her fellow junior, guard Emily Cooper, battled illness but still tallied 12.

12/28/22 Basketball: McDonell Macks 78, Bayfield 28

In the first annual Denny Laramy Holiday Classic, the Macks (9-0, 2-0 Western Cloverbelt Conference) started a little slowly against the visiting Trollers (1-6, 1-2 Indianhead Conference), but pushed down the gas late in the first half, as they roared to a 30-point advantage at the break.

In the second half, the Macks continued their dominance, playing their starters sparingly as the McDonell reserves saw significant action and still forced a running clock, notching their ninth victory of the season and cruising into their tournament's championship game.

                                                                                       
WOGO "RadioActive" Award Watch:
Senior guard/forward Canan Huss scored 15 of his game-high 19 points in the first half, while fellow senior Eddie Mittermeyer knocked down five threes to finish with 17. Junior center Miles Flanagan played a strong game in reserve, tallying 11.
