1/12/26 Basketball: McDonell Macks 67, Alma Center Lincoln 51

On the road to start a busy week, the Macks (7-3, 2-1 Western Cloverbelt Conference) fell behind by a couple possessions early, but then roared out ahead of the Hornets (6-3, 5-2 Dairyland Conference), who fell behind by 16 at the break.

In the second half, Lincoln made a push and came within single digits, bringing their crowd to life, but the Macks steadily rebuilt the lead and cruised to a non-conference victory.


WOGO "RadioActive" Award Watch:
Junior forward Brennan Loiselle-Christianson had an explosive first half, including a pair of dunks, and scored a game-high 21 on the night, while senior Cael Holm tallied all 12 of his points from beyond the arc. Fellow senior Karson Galvez was the third Macks player in double digits, finishing with 10.

1/9/26 Basketball: Chippewa Falls 61, Eau Claire North 60

      Down 29-23 at the half Chippewa Falls(2-7, 1-3) tied the game at 38 only to see Eau Claire North(3-6, 0-3) go on a 9-0 run to grab a 47-38 lead.  The Cards fought back to grab the lead at 52-51, and eventually led 59-53. A basket and two free throws pulled the North within two, but Kael Dillenbeck's two free throws with less than five seconds sealed the win for the Cards despite a Huskies 3-pointer at the buzzer.

WOGO "RadioActive" Award Watch:
Owen Munson was brilliant in leading the Cards with 32 points, including seven 3's and a perfect 8-8 at the line. Grant Von Haden came on strong late with 11 huge points in the win.

1/8/26 Basketball: McDonell Lady Macks 46, Elk Mound 44

After over a week off, the Lady Macks (10-2, 6-0 Western Cloverbelt Conference) found themselves in a battle for first place in the conference with the Mounders (8-4, 4-2 WCC), who came into the contest having won three of their last four games.

McDonell saw an early lead slip away right before the half, and in the second Elk Mound came close to pulling away. The Lady Macks stayed strong, however, hitting multiple big shots while continuing to play aggressive defense. A last-second defensive stand proved to be the difference, as McDonell notched their tenth consecutive victory.


WOGO "RadioActive" Award Watch:
Junior guard/forward Claire Ruf hit a trio of threes and finished with with 13 points, while fellow juniors Anne and Erin Siegenthaler scored eight apiece. Junior Kelsey Bremness played stellar defense and added seven points of her own, as eight different players scored for McDonell.
