3/11/23 WIAA Division 5 Basketball Sectional Final (OT): (1) McDonell Macks 58, (1) Solon Springs 56

In front of a packed gym at Amery in the Sectional Final, the Macks (28-1, 13-1 Western Cloverbelt Conference) jumped out to an early lead, only to see the hot-shooting Eagles (26-2, 17-0 Indianhead Conference), storm back to a five-point advantage at halftime.

After the break, the wheels looked like they were coming off for McDonell, as they found themselves down 13 late in the game. The Macks seniors, however, were simply not willing to see their season end, as they fought their way back to force overtime. In the extra frame, McDonell hit big shot after big shot, made critical hustle plays on both ends, and held on in the final seconds to punch their ticket to the WIAA Division 5 State Tournament in Madison!


WOGO "RadioActive" Award Watch:
Senior guard Aidan Misfeldt had the game of his life when it mattered most, scoring 16 of his game-high 24 points in the second half, and knocking down 6 threes for the game. Senior guard/forward Canan Huss tallied 11 and was a force on the glass in a game where every possession counted.

3/11/23 WIAA Division 5 Basketball State Championship: (1) McDonell Lady Macks 61, (2) Blair-Taylor 46

After winning their first ever game at the WIAA State Tournament, the Lady Macks (26-5, 14-0 Western Cloverbelt Conference) looked strong at the start against the Lady Wildcats (28-2,13-1 Large Dairyland Conference), only to see their lead dissipate to a two-possession advantage at halftime.

Blair-Taylor continued to surge in the second half, tying the game with an early flurry, before the Lady Macks tightened the screws defensively and slowly but surely pulled away in front of a huge crowd at the Resch Center. For the second straight day, McDonell girls basketball forged new ground, as they sealed a WIAA state championship for the first time in program history!  

WOGO "RadioActive" Award Watch:
Junior center Aubrey Dorn capped off her dominant tournament run with 16 points and 10 rebounds, while senior guard Marley Hughes was nearly perfect from the free throw line, hitting 9 of 10 and adding 14 points and 6 assists in her final game in a McDonell uniform. Junior guard Emily Cooper tallied 14 points, 7 rebounds, and 5 assists, while junior guard Isabel Hartman matched her season-high with 10 points, scoring them all in a phenomenal second half effort.
