3/7/26 Basketball: WIAA Division 4 Regional Final: #4 McDonell Macks 59, #9 Prairie Farm/Clayton 37
Hosting a Regional Final for the first time since their run to the state championship game in 2023, the Macks (14-13, 5-9 Western Cloverbelt Conference) again got out to a fast start, quickly putting the Bearcats (12-14, 8-5 Lakeland - West Conference), behind by double digits and leading by 14 at the half.
Though PFC made a push momentarily in the second half, McDonell always had a response, and eventually cruised to a regional championship, cutting down the nets on their home floor.
WOGO "RadioActive" Award Watch:
In his finale at Steve and Deb Roesler Gymnasium, senior Karson Galvez led the way for the Macks with a game-high 15 points, with fellow seniors Eli Stepp and Desian Matthews adding 11 and 10, respectively.

3/6/26 Basketball: WIAA Division 4 Regional Semi-Final: #4 McDonell Macks 59, #12 Ladysmith 44
Looking to make the most of their home court advantage, the Macks (13-13, 5-9 Western Cloverbelt Conference) started out hot against the Lumberjacks (6-20, 3-15 Heart O'North Conference), creating some early separation as they roared out to a lead.
Though Ladysmith made a push late in the first half, McDonell responded to start the second, steadily pulling away and earning a bid to Saturday's regional championship.
WOGO "RadioActive" Award Watch:
Senior guard Eli Stepp, in his second game back from injury, again led the team in scoring, finishing with 12 points. Senior Karson Galvez and junior Brennan Loiselle-Christianson were close behind with 10 apiece.
