12/28/23 Basketball: McDonell Lady Macks 71, St. Croix Central 23

Facing a Division 3 opponent in their first matchup of the 2nd Annual Denny Laramy Holiday Classic, the Lady Macks (11-0, 5-0 Western Cloverbelt Conference) pulled away very early from the Panthers (5-6, 1-3 Middle Border Conference), who did not score a single point until close to the midway point of the first half.

Substituting very freely throughout, McDonell continued to impress on both ends of the floor as they put three players in double figures, had three others tally eight points, and cruised to a dominant, running clock victory.


WOGO "RadioActive" Award Watch:
Freshman guard EllaMay Cooper led the way for McDonell with 16 points, while her older sister Emily, despite facing a defense designed to contain her, was close behind with 12. Senior guard Isabel Hartman netted another double-digit performance, tallying 10.

12/28/23 Basketball: McDonell Macks 52, Ladysmith 43

In their first game of the 2nd Annual Denny Laramy Holiday Classic, the Macks (5-2, 3-1 Western Cloverbelt Conference) were a little slow out of the gate offensively, as were the Lumberjacks (5-2, 4-1 Heart O'North Conference), as neither team could stretch their advantage to more than two possessions throughout the first half.

Out of the gate in the second half, McDonell struggled initially with the Ladysmith pressure defense, surrendering the lead on a couple of occasions in a back-and-forth, tightly contested fight. In the final minutes, however, the Macks hit timely baskets and proved their mettle from the free throw line, vaulting themselves to the title game of the tournament. 


WOGO "RadioActive" Award Watch:
Junior guard Jordan Sikora led the way for the Macks with 16 points, including a very strong first half, while sophomore forward Karson Galvez scored all 12 of his points after the break in a strong second half effort. Junior guard Cooper Mittermeyer knocked in a trio of treys, including finishing two four-point plays.
