3/4/25 Basketball (WIAA Division 4 Regional Quarter-Final): #5 McDonell Macks 83, #12 Cadott 51

On their home floor for likely the final time this season, the Macks (16-9, 6-6 Western Cloverbelt Conference) fell behind early to the Hornets (9-16, 0-12 WCC), but then went on a sensational 31-6 run to begin the blowout.

In the second half, McDonell started out with successive three-point plays, then continued to press their advantage. Every player entered the game and 13 Macks scored, as they started out the tournament with a bang.


WOGO "RadioActive" Award Watch:
Senior forward Jordan Sikora came out of the gate in attack mode, pouring in a season-high 20 points to lead all scorers. Junior guard Eli Stepp also contributed heavily on the offensive end, tallying 10 of his 12 points in the first half.

3/1/25 Basketball (WIAA Division 4 Regional Final): #2 McDonell Lady Macks 48, #3 Marathon 32

On their home floor for the final time this season, the Lady Macks (17-8, 10-2 Western Cloverbelt Conference) fell behind early to the Red Raiders (19-7, 10-6 Marawood South Conference), but took advantage of Marathon turnovers to build a 14-point halftime advantage.

In the second half, McDonell started out well but Marathon responded, using their significant size advantage to secure second chance opportunities and get the Lady Macks in foul trouble. McDonell withstood the charge, however, and punched their ticket to the Sectional level as they won their 10th straight game, fifth straight regional championship, and got to cut down the nets once again.


WOGO "RadioActive" Award Watch:
Sophomore guard Claire Ruf came out of the gate hot for the second straight night, ending up with a team high 20 points. Sophomore guard Erin Siegenthaler hit a pair of threes in the second half and finished with 10, while senior forward Kendall Hepfler tallied eight in a strong effort during the final home game of her high school career.
