12/30/25 Basketball: McDonell Lady Macks 57, Hillsboro 25

Riding a win streak of eight, the Lady Macks (9-2, 5-0 Western Cloverbelt Conference) began the pressure defense early and often against the Tigers (6-5, 3-1 Scenic Bluffs Conference), who found points very hard to come by.

After the half, McDonell continued to surge ahead, as nine players scored and they notched their ninth consecutive victory.


WOGO "RadioActive" Award Watch:
Junior guard/forward Claire Ruf led all scorers with 15 points, including three threes, while fellow junior Anne Siegenthaler was right behind with 14. Junior Rylie Christianson was the third Lady Macks player in double figures, as she added 11 points on the night.

12/30/25 Basketball: Loyal 60, McDonell Macks 56

Looking to keep their unbeaten streak alive, the Macks (5-2, 1-0 Western Cloverbelt Conference) were locked in an early defensive struggle with the Greyhounds (6-1, 2-1 Eastern Cloverbelt Conference), but pulled away to a three possession lead partway through the first half.

The visitors responded however, surging back to tie the game at 29 at the break. In the second half, the Loyal pressure resulted in a few too many turnovers, and though the Macks made a comeback in the final minute, they fell a bit short.


WOGO "RadioActive" Award Watch:
Senior guard Cael Holm led the team in scoring for the second straight night, hitting a trio of threes and finishing with 14 points. Junior forward Brennan Loiselle-Christianson had another steal and breakaway dunk and ended the night with 13, while senior Desian Matthews knocked down three triples of his own and had 10, equaling the point tally of fellow senior Karson Galvez.

12/29/25 Basketball: McDonell Lady Macks 52, Loyal 36

Back in action after a 10 day hiatus, the Lady Macks (8-2, 5-0 Western Cloverbelt Conference) gained an early advantage over the young and scrappy Greyhounds (4-5, 4-1 Eastern Cloverbelt Conference), who struggled to score but still continued to battle.

Battling through foul trouble, McDonell made use of multiple lineup combinations and maintained their halftime lead for much of the second half, eventually leading to an eighth straight win..


WOGO "RadioActive" Award Watch:
Junior guard/forward Claire Ruf led the scoring with 11 points, while fellow junior Anne Sigenthaler had 10, and junior Erin Siegenthaler hit a trio of threes to finish with nine points on the night.

12/29/25 Basketball: McDonell Macks 77, Mellen 59

Riding a four game winning streak, the Macks (5-1, 1-0 Western Cloverbelt Conference) looked strong to start the game, but hot outside shooting from the Granite Diggers (4-2, 3-1 Northern Lights Conference), kept the visitors within reach.

After the break, McDonell slowly pulled away, riding timely shooting from downtown and a dominant performance on the offensive glass to win a fifth straight game.


WOGO "RadioActive" Award Watch:
Senior guard Cael Holm made the most of his open looks, knocking down seven threes on the night and finishing with 21 points. Junior forward Brennan Loiselle-Christianson had a pair of thunderous dunks and tallied 10, with junior Nathan Hazel and senior Desian Matthews also ending the game in double digits.
