1/31/25 Basketball: McDonell Lady Macks 55, Cadott 29

Facing conference foes for the second time, the Lady Macks (10-8, 7-2 Western Cloverbelt Conference) went on the road to battle the Hornets (8-10, 3-7 WCC), and roared out to a 28-point halftime advantage.

After the break, McDonell continued to substitute freely and held Cadott at bay, withstanding a second half push from the Hornets to cap off an unbeaten week of basketball, notch double-digit victories on the season, and complete the season sweep.

WOGO "RadioActive" Award Watch:

Sophomore guard/Claire Ruf came out of the gate on fire, scoring 17 of her game-high 21 points in the first half.

1/28/25 Basketball: McDonell Lady Macks 75, Bloomer 70

In a rematch with a young but extremely talented Bloomer squad, the Lady Macks (8-8, 6-2 Western Cloverbelt Conference) engaged in a seesaw battle with the Blackhawks (10-7, 4-5 WCC) who made a late run to tie the game at 31 by halftime.

In the second half, McDonell repeatedly took two-possession leads but could never quite shake off Bloomer, whose hot-shooting from downtown kept things close as both teams battled foul trouble. In the final minutes, however, the Lady Macks made crucial plays in the clutch, earning their sixth conference victory and a season sweep of the Blackhawks.

WOGO "RadioActive" Award Watch:

Sophomore guard/forward Anne Siegenthaler poured in a career-high 30 points, while fellow sophomore forward Emily Hartman was fantastic as well, tallying a career-high of her own with 15 on the night. Sophomore guard Erin Siegenthaler and senior forward Kendall Hepfler also finished in double figures for McDonell, each adding 11 points.

1/24/25 Basketball: Eau Claire Regis 77, McDonell Macks 70

In a home rematch against a perennial rival, the Macks (10-6, 3-3 Western Cloverbelt Conference) nearly scored as many points in the first half as they did their entire previous game against the Ramblers (8-5, 3-3 WCC). 

Regis was able to match McDonell point for point, however, and despite four Macks players in double figures, the Ramblers pulled away at the end of both the first and second half, earning a series sweep for the regular season.

WOGO "RadioActive" Award Watch:

Junior guard Cael Holm knocked down four threes and led the team with 18 points, while senior guard Cooper Mittermeyer also hit four triples and tallied 15. Sophomore forward Nathan Hazel added 12 points, and junior forward Karson Galvez, despite battling foul trouble, was the fourth McDonell player in double figures, finishing with 10 points.

1/18/25 Basketball: Bloomer 38, McDonell Macks 35

On the road against a top-shelf opponent for the third time in five days, the Macks (10-5, 3-2 Western Cloverbelt Conference) went back and forth in a hard-nosed, defensive struggle with the Blackhawks (7-3, 4-1 WCC). 

For the majority of the contest, both teams played with a two possession lead or less, with outside shooting struggles and foul trouble plaguing McDonell for much of the game. In the second half, Bloomer found their inside scoring punch, and did just enough to keep the game out of reach in the final seconds.

WOGO "RadioActive" Award Watch:

Junior center Mason Busse was a powerhouse in the paint, ripping down rebounds and playing lights out defense on Bloomer's top scorer, while also pacing the Macks offensive attack with 12 points.

1/19/25 CVTW: Eau Claire, Near & Farm: Art Exhibit by Heidi Schreiner

                                                                    Chippewa Valley This Week

Heidi Schreiner

Using oils, Eau Claire artist, Heidi Schreiner, paints expressively featuring subjects like animals, people, and coffee cups. Schreiner finds beauty, humor, and drama in scenes and settings others might just shrug off as "ordinary." She aims to capture that magic moment that art and life come together. Schreiner believes we each crave a deep connection with other people, so that's what she pursues. With many of her paintings on display on the third floor of the L.E. Phillips Memorial Public Library through March 3rd, we caught up with her at the reception held there this past Thursday night.

1/17/25 Basketball: Eau Claire Regis 72, McDonell Lady Macks 45

In another battle for first place in the conference standings, the Lady Macks (7-8, 5-2 Western Cloverbelt Conference) went back-and forth with Regis for much of the first half, but foul trouble and a late surge by the Ramblers (13-4, 6-1 WCC) was enough to give the visitors a lead they would never relinquish.

In the second half, Regis continued to press their advantage as the Lady Macks' shots refused to fall, and the Ramblers rolled their way to a road victory, splitting the season series with McDonell as each team won on their opponent's home court. 

WOGO "RadioActive" Award Watch:

Sophomore guard Claire Ruf was one of the night's highlights, as she scored from beyond the arc, in the paint, and at the line, leading the team with 23 points.
