3/10/23 WIAA Division 5 Basketball State Semi-Final: (1) McDonell Lady Macks 59, (4) Albany 20

In their third consecutive trip to State, the Lady Macks (25-5, 14-0 Western Cloverbelt Conference) came out of the gate hot and never looked back against the previously unbeaten Comets (28-1,12-0 Six Rivers Conference), roaring out to a 24-point halftime lead.

The show of dominance continued in the second half, as Albany was held to just 9 points after the break, while every Lady Macks player saw the floor. Nine players scored as McDonell made history with their program's first ever win at the state tournament, advancing to Saturday's title game.

3/9/23 WIAA Division 5 Basketball Sectional Semi-Final: (1) McDonell Macks 52, (11) Thorp 31

Back at the sectional level after a one-season hiatus, the Macks (27-1, 13-1 Western Cloverbelt Conference) went back and forth early with the Cardinals (11-16, 4-10 WCC), and held just a slim four-point advantage at halftime.

After the break, however, McDonell's defense went to another level, as they outscored Thorp 26-9 in the final 18 minutes. The Macks' core group of seniors led the way and were rewarded with the program's eighth trip to a Sectional Final in the last nine years.

WOGO "RadioActive" Award Watch:

Senior guard Eddie Mittermeyer provided timely shooting and scored a game-high 21 points, while senior guard/forward Canan Huss added 13 in a strong effort. Senior guard Aidan Misfeldt rose to the occasion on both ends of the floor once again, scoring four in each half.
