Quick Recap of each division and then some of the top players.
Division 5
Catholic Central 37 Barneveld 35
The biggest story here was Matthew Myers not scoring for Barneveld. Myers averaged 18 points a game during the season and went scoreless. This game was a struggle throughout as neither team could put the ball in the basket. In the end Barneveld had the chance to tie it but, couldn't hit the big shot.
McDonell Central 70 Green Bay NEW Lutheran 51
The Macks size just was too much for the Blazers. Foul trouble held Blazers star Gabe Lloyd down and the outside shot wasn't falling. Sophomore Hayden Baughman was the star for the Macks as he used his size and athletiscim to score at the rim and was able to knock down the three to carry them to victory.
McDonell Central 63 Catholic Central 41
The size of the Macks was just too much in the game as Catholic Central had to settle for outside shots that weren't falling. McDonell turned up the pressure on the defense in the second half and turned the Toppers over to lead to the win.
Division 4
Dominican 54 Aquinas 46
Defense was the story for Dominican here as Aquinas could never find an open shot. Some late game heroics by Aquinas's Chris Ancious made the game look better but, it was never that close. Jacoby Jones for Dominican was impossible to stay in front on and got the MVP of this game.
Cameron 44 Amherst 41
Cameron's 1-3-1 zone defense was as tough as they come as Amherst couldn't figure it out. For Amherst Tyler Biadasz finally caught the ball around the free throw line and put his head down and drove to the rim. Cameron's Peyton Dibble has his coming out party as he showed the full game, hitting threes, driving to the rim, hitting the mid range jumper, and playing some solid D. Really like Dibble and his size on the perimeter.
Dominican 62 Cameron 43
Dibble came out gunning but, Cameron didn't have the gas to match up. The story of the game was Dominican's Jake Bennett getting wide open in the corner against the Cameron zone and knocking down three after three as he hit seven threes in the game.
Division Three
Waupun 55 Prairie du Chien 43
I'm not sure if Prairie was that over matched or if they just picked a bad time to play the worst game of the year. Nathan Banasik couldn't hit a shot as he went 1-12 in the game including 0-6 from down town. Waupun just kind of did their thing to get the W.
Xavier 82 GET 75
GET just didn't come to play in this game and came out slow and could never recover. Nick Wagner forced a ton of bad shots. Hunter Plaman was huge off the bench and Sam Ferris had a hot start hitting threes early on and had a career game.
Waupun 59 Xavier 58
This was the best game of the tournaemtn and went back and force all game long. Threes were matched with threes. Waupun had the lead and Xavier climped back into it behind Plaman again who missed the tying free throw with two seconds left before getting the offensive rebound and throwing up a falling shot that bounced off the rim.
Division Two
Waunakee 62 Whitnall 59
Waunakee just basically out physicalled Whitnall who I thought had more talent. Waunakee controlled the game on the glass and controlled the tempo. Kevion Taylor tried to get his team back in the game with some late threes but, it was just too late.
Kaukauna 72 La Crosse Central 45
Kaukauna shut down Central's two stars Bailey Kale and Kobe King while the threes were raining for Kaukauna. Jordan McCabe completely controlled the game and Kaukauna ran up and down the court.
Kaukauna 91 Waunakee 62
Kaukauna came out running and for whatever reason Waunakee tried to run with them which just didn't work. This game seemed like a streak ball game with the pace and the lack of defense at times.
Division 1
Muskego 62 Marquette 54
This game was very even throughout until Job Alexander stopped scoring and Marquette's lack of outside shooting. Caleb Wagner for Muskego was able to add to his scoring by knocking down 12 free throws.
Stevens Point 75 Sheboygan North 48
It was Point's D that made the difference here as Sam Hauser shut down North's David Larson and overall they turned North over all game and didn't give them any free looks. Sam and brother Joey dominated the glass while Sam and Trev Anderson did the scoring.
Stevens Point 89 Muskego 64
Again Point came out trapping and took Muskego out of the game early and then Muskego started looking for the three point shot and the shots weren't going. This game was over fairly early.
All Tournament Team (In order of most impressive)
Jordan McCabe 5'11 sophomore Kauakauna- Wow is all you can say. Easily the most impressive player to watch this weekend and the most fun. Even when the game got out of hand you stayed to watched McCabe play. He really makes everyone else better. Probably would of had double digit assists each game if his team mates could of finished at the rim. Give him even the smallest opening and the shot is going to fall.
Sam Hauser 6'6 senior Stevens Point- The job he did on David Larson could of been all you needed to see but, his ability to hit the three point shot and to run the offense sealed the deal. No doubt he is a college level player.
Trev Anderson 6'2 senior Stevens Point- Didn't have a great tournament but, did make a huge impact. His trapping defense was really on display in both games and of course his strong ball handling and ability to knock down the outside shot. Anderson really showed his strength taking smaller defenders to the post and scoring.
Peyton Dibble 6'6 senior Cameron- Another kid that will no doubt be impressive at the next level. Showed the ability to rise and knock down the outside shot and the quickness to get to the rim and finish.
Joey Hauser 6'7 sophomore Stevens Point- Big man that can really pass the ball, can hit the spot up outside shot, and of course dominate the inside rebounding and scoring with a finesse game on the inside.
Hayden Baughman 6'5 sophomore McDonell Central- He's on the verge of blowing up next year. A 6'5 athlete that can get to the rim and finish and his three point shot is very pretty.
Caleb Wagner 6'0 senior Muskego- Did a great job of getting to the free throw line where he made his shots. Just a flat out scorer that can get his points at any time and knows how to do it in a variety of ways.
Gacoby Jones 5'10 sophomore Dominican- Just lighting quick with the ball in his hands and is extremeley difficult to stay in front of. Really showed the ability to score in the lane or set up his team mates.
Marcus Moreau 6'4 senior Kaukauna- Had to mention him as he just absolutely dominated the glass on both ends of the court. There were a handful of good rebounders but, he was the best.
Hunter Plamann 6'0 sophomore Xavier- Another flat out scorer that can really handle the ball and get his shot at any time. Step back three is a killer.
Other top Players
Kevion Taylor 6'4 junior Whitnall
Riley Freeman 6'4 senior Waunakee
Colton Homan 6'8 senior Waupun
Marcus Domask 6'5 freshmen Waupun
Matty Farner 6'3 senior Muskego
Ben Retzlaff 6'0 senior McDonell Central
Tyler Herro 6'4 sophomore Whitnall
Kostas Antetokounmpo 6'11 senior Dominican
Tyler Biadsz 6'4 senior Amherst
Sad to see the year come to an end but, I do have a few more posts to make before I'll be done for the year. As you can tell by state Wisconsin's sophomore class is extremely talented and have some big time prospects out there.

Final Rankings
Well the season has come t an end and kind of sad time thinking that there will be no more basketball this year. Again these rankings are somewhat difficult because do you simply just put the winner #1 and then runner up two? Or do you say that the team that lost to the champion might be better?
Division One
I felt that Sheboygan North and Muskego basically did the same thing against Stevens Point, just like everyone else but, felt that North's overall season has been more impressive then Muskego.

State Preview
State Basketball starts tomorrow so here are my state picks.....
Division Five
Catholic Central over Barneveld
McDonell Central over Green Bay NEW Lutheran
McDonell Central over Catholic Central
Unfortunately I gotta go with the private school over Barneveld. BCC has just played tougher competition all year long and don't think Barneveld is ready for that. Ever since I saw McDonell Central play they've been my state pick. McDonell has tremendous size and athleticism and just don't think GBNL can stay with them. McDonell has seen some very tough competition playing in the Cloverbelt Conference.
Division Four
Dominican over Aquinas
Cameron over Amherst
Dominican over Cameron
Having seen Aquinas play earlier in the year I'm really shocked where they are and think that luck runs out against Dominican who just has too much talent for anyone in D4. Cameron is an undefeated team and they took down Eau Claire Regis which really says a lot to me but, don't think they have enough against Dominican.
Division Three
Waupun over Prairie du Chien
GET over Xavier
GET over Waupun
GET is the undefeated team coming in, play a tough defense that you don't see very often, and have three talented seniors with a ton of experience. Don't know much about Waupun but, haven't been super impressed with PDC. They have a handful of good players but, they don't have that elite player that can take over a game.
Division Two
Whitnall over Waunakee
Kaukauna over La Crosse Central
Kaukauna over Whitnall
Just don't think that Waunakee has played the toughest schedule playing in the Badger North while Whitnall plays in a very tough conference in the southeast part of the state. Kaukauna beat La Crosse Central by 15 once already and I expect much the same this time around. Kobe King is great by Kaukauna has better supporting players and Jordan McCabe makes everyone better. This might be the most entertaining conference as every team here has at least one D1 college prospect and they may all have two.
Division One
Marquette over Muskego
Stevens Point over Sheboygan North
Stevens Point over Marquette
Only question here is can anyone keep the game within 20. Point is just too big and good for anyone
Marquette over Muskego because they've had a very tough regular season and anyone coming out of the southeast sectional has to be a favorite.
Should be a lot of fun. Oh and my three point champ is going to be Ryan Cleary Brookfield Academy beating out Jordan Johnson Cedarburg. Third place is Terrence Lewis of Riverside.
Division Five

Week 15 Rankings
Here we are the week of state and the biggest question with rankings is do you simply just put the top four teams that four teams at state? Is it possible that a team that lost to say a Stevens Point, Kaukauna, or Dominican may be better then a team at state? Where do you put the two teams that are .500 or actually one that's under .500?
Division One
Riverside lost to Marquette so I couldn't see dropping them that low and they stayed above state team Muskego. Racine Park was another team that dropped a game to Marquette and fell to six. Germantown was upset by Bay Port and dropped just one spot but, I just couldn't see moving Bay Port up that high after not being ranked previously. Bay Port checks in at 14 knocking Middleton from the rankings Sun Prairie lost to Muskego in a close game while Madison Memorial lost to a so so Madison West team which allowed Sun Prairie to move up a spot to eight and Memorial dropped to 11. Appleton West took out Oshkosh North before being killed by Stevens Point which moved them up a bit to nine and kept North right where they were. Superior was beaten bad by Point as well while Vincent lost to Riverside knocking Superior down a spot and Vincent held tight. Kimerbly moved down because of the Bay Port jump.

Sectionals
Waunakee 66 Sauk Prairie 63
This sectional semi final was a battle between conference opponents, so we knew it was going to be a battle throughout. Waunakee came out gunning early on behind the strong play of 6'2 sophomore Mason Steffen. Typically it's 6'3 sophomore Mitch Listau that gets all the praise but, Steffen stepped up and had a huge game while Listau struggled a little bit. On the other side 6'6 senior Brandon Spray had a huge game. Despite Spray's size it was his outside game that was on full display his three point shooting and driving to the basket. While Steffen did the damage on the outside 6'4 senior Riley Freeman did it on the inside. Freeman dominated the glass on both ends of the court and did his fair share of scoring with his back to the basket. Freeman was my mvp of the game even though he doesn't get the hype of Steffen and Listau but, doing the dirty work on the inside is sometime more impressive. Waunakee had a pretty decent lead until Sauk's 5'10 senior Seth Kostroski got things going from the outside hitting some huge threes but, the hot free throw shooting for Waunakee helped to seal this game.
Top Players
Mason Steffen 6'2 sophomore Waunakee- Hit some monster threes early on in the game, scored in transition, and hit some big free throws early.
Riley Freeman 6'4 senior Waunakee- Freeman dominated the glass on the inside and I'm sure he had a double double in the game. MVP on the game.
Brandon Spray 6'6 senior Sauk Prairie- Was hitting the outside shots and used his quickness rather then size to score in the paint.
Seth Kostroski 5'10 senior Sauk Prairie- Sharpshooter from the outside and is lighting quick with the ball in his hand.
Top Scorers
Waunakee- Steffen 18 Freeman 17 Listau 15
Sauk Prairie- Kostroski 20 Spray 15 Josh Holler 10
Muskego 69 Madison West 67
Early on it was all Madison West as the game out in the full court press and I just don't see Muskego was ready for that early on. Muskego turned it over time and again and West jumped out to the early lead behind 6'3 junior Terrell Carey who score seven early points to lead West out of the gate that is before foul trouble caught up to Carey and company. The way West plays is no surprise though. They play in your face defense with a lot of hand checking and grabbing. You can turn the other team over if their allowed to play that way but, it can also lead to foul trouble which it did in this game and that may of caused West some problems late in this one. At half time West had two starters with three fouls and three rotation players with two. West had a five point at the half. In the second half West ran out of gas and the foul trouble caught up to them. 6'0 senior point guard Caleb Wagner took over and he was looking to score every time down the court which really wasn't a bad thing. Wagner seemed to score at will and when he missed it was senior big men 6'2 Matty Farner and 6'4 Tommy Anderson. With 15 seconds remaining West 6'4 senior Isaiah Mc Fadden drove the lane and scored. Wagner came down the court and ran the clock down and with six seconds left drove the lane caught the front of the rim and after a right for the ball Farner came up with the ball and laid the game winning shot in with a second left on the clock.
Top Players
Terrel Carey 6'3 junior Madison West- Just a beast to stop in the post and in the transition.
Larry Hawkins 6'4 junior Madison West- Was really tough in the post and Muskego had a very tough time stopping him when he got position in the post.
Caleb Wagner 6'0 senior Muskego- 30 points in the game says it all. Impossible to stop Wagner was able to score in a variey of ways around the hoop.
Matty Farner 6'3 senior Muskego- Extremely tough on the inside rebounding and of course he had the game winning shot.
Top Scorers
West- Carey 12 Hawkins 12 Raekwon Hess 10
Muskego- Wagner 30 Anderson 16 Farner 12
Prairie du Chien 59 East Troy 49
East Troy had the best two players in the game in 6'3 senior Joey Ciriacks and 6'1 senior Jake Nixon but, Prairie du Chien had the next five best players. Early on in the first half it was the Ciriacks show as he hit four three point shots and had 17 first half points. Prairie du Chiens 6'1 junior sharpshooter Chas Sagedahl hit three of his own first half three point shots. In the second half things really turned around when East Troy got five straight fouls on the same possession allowing PDC to get to bonus very quickly and 6'6 junior Nathan Banasik got things going on the inside after struggling from the outside in the first half. Ciriacks was pretty silent before fouling out on back to back three point attempts which led to six straight free throws. East Troy's star Jake Nixon really put on an impressive show scoring bucket after bucket after a Jimmy Neutron chant aimed at him. PDC was really a team effort in this one as East Troy's outside shooting disappeared late and PDC hit the free throws.
Top Players
Joey Ciriacks 6'3 senior East Troy- Just a smooth outside shooting and it was shocking when the ball didn't go in the hoop. Moved extremely without the ball in his hand.
Jake Nixon 6'1 senior East Troy- Really an impressive ball handler that can get his shot at anytime and can really finish at the rim in a variety of ways. Great free throw shooter as well.
Nathan Banasik 6'6 junior Prairie du Chien- Struggled from the outside but, did some real damaged in the post late and was able to hit the free throws as well.
Connor George 5'10 senior Prairie du Chien- One of the quickest first steps I've seen and is just a tremendous point guard and floor general on the court. Always makes the right decision whether it's shooting the ball or making the right pass.

So Waunakee, Muskego, and Prairie du Chien are all state teams. I'll do a write up on my state picks late in the year.
This sectional semi final was a battle between conference opponents, so we knew it was going to be a battle throughout. Waunakee came out gunning early on behind the strong play of 6'2 sophomore Mason Steffen. Typically it's 6'3 sophomore Mitch Listau that gets all the praise but, Steffen stepped up and had a huge game while Listau struggled a little bit. On the other side 6'6 senior Brandon Spray had a huge game. Despite Spray's size it was his outside game that was on full display his three point shooting and driving to the basket. While Steffen did the damage on the outside 6'4 senior Riley Freeman did it on the inside. Freeman dominated the glass on both ends of the court and did his fair share of scoring with his back to the basket. Freeman was my mvp of the game even though he doesn't get the hype of Steffen and Listau but, doing the dirty work on the inside is sometime more impressive. Waunakee had a pretty decent lead until Sauk's 5'10 senior Seth Kostroski got things going from the outside hitting some huge threes but, the hot free throw shooting for Waunakee helped to seal this game.
Top Players
Mason Steffen 6'2 sophomore Waunakee- Hit some monster threes early on in the game, scored in transition, and hit some big free throws early.
Riley Freeman 6'4 senior Waunakee- Freeman dominated the glass on the inside and I'm sure he had a double double in the game. MVP on the game.
Brandon Spray 6'6 senior Sauk Prairie- Was hitting the outside shots and used his quickness rather then size to score in the paint.
Seth Kostroski 5'10 senior Sauk Prairie- Sharpshooter from the outside and is lighting quick with the ball in his hand.
Top Scorers
Waunakee- Steffen 18 Freeman 17 Listau 15
Sauk Prairie- Kostroski 20 Spray 15 Josh Holler 10
Muskego 69 Madison West 67
Early on it was all Madison West as the game out in the full court press and I just don't see Muskego was ready for that early on. Muskego turned it over time and again and West jumped out to the early lead behind 6'3 junior Terrell Carey who score seven early points to lead West out of the gate that is before foul trouble caught up to Carey and company. The way West plays is no surprise though. They play in your face defense with a lot of hand checking and grabbing. You can turn the other team over if their allowed to play that way but, it can also lead to foul trouble which it did in this game and that may of caused West some problems late in this one. At half time West had two starters with three fouls and three rotation players with two. West had a five point at the half. In the second half West ran out of gas and the foul trouble caught up to them. 6'0 senior point guard Caleb Wagner took over and he was looking to score every time down the court which really wasn't a bad thing. Wagner seemed to score at will and when he missed it was senior big men 6'2 Matty Farner and 6'4 Tommy Anderson. With 15 seconds remaining West 6'4 senior Isaiah Mc Fadden drove the lane and scored. Wagner came down the court and ran the clock down and with six seconds left drove the lane caught the front of the rim and after a right for the ball Farner came up with the ball and laid the game winning shot in with a second left on the clock.
Top Players
Terrel Carey 6'3 junior Madison West- Just a beast to stop in the post and in the transition.
Larry Hawkins 6'4 junior Madison West- Was really tough in the post and Muskego had a very tough time stopping him when he got position in the post.
Caleb Wagner 6'0 senior Muskego- 30 points in the game says it all. Impossible to stop Wagner was able to score in a variey of ways around the hoop.
Matty Farner 6'3 senior Muskego- Extremely tough on the inside rebounding and of course he had the game winning shot.
Top Scorers
West- Carey 12 Hawkins 12 Raekwon Hess 10
Muskego- Wagner 30 Anderson 16 Farner 12
Prairie du Chien 59 East Troy 49

Regions
This Friday and Saturday took in a pair of Regional games. This is a great time of year and you can usually get a minimum of two very good games a week with some very good atmospheres.
Oregon 71 Monona Grove 51
In a match up of Badger South opponents Oregon upset Monona Grove. This was a four seed verse five seed so was guaranteed a good match up. They are conference opponents finishing second and third in the conference and they split their match ups during the regular season. The real story of the game was Oregon going against the Monona Grove 2-3 zone defense. On the offensive end Monona Grove didn't show much or have much of an offense going. Early on Oregon didn't seem to know how to attack the MG zone as they settled for threes after just passing the ball around the perimeter. The score was MG up 17-4 I think with Oregon in danger of being run out of the gym when they finally figured things out and they were still shooting the threes but, they were working from the inside out forcing MG to recover on kick outs and wide open threes. Oregon was streaking from the outside but, when they got going they hit the threes in bunches. The biggest thing to note in the game is that Oregon had the top two players in the game in their senior stars 6'4 Alex Duff and 6'2 Charlie Soule. Duff hit the threes from the outside while Soule did most of his damage on the inside and in transition. Monona Grove didn't really show much offensive until the end of the game.
Top Players
Alex Duff 6'4 senior Oregon- Really a superb athlete that can jump out of the gym. Duff hit a pair of big threes in the first half and got out and ran in transition and finished with a big dunk in transition. Duff also controlled the glass grabbing every rebound.
Charlie Soule 6'2 senior Oregon- Very tough from the free throw line and in and can really score on the inside.
Ben Weiland 6'0 senior Oregon- Sharpshooter from the outside hit four huge threes in the game.
Myles Thomas 6'0 senior Monona Grove- Can really get to the rim and finish in a variety of ways.
Peyton Mueller 6'2 senior Monona Grove- The only MG player that could hit any shots from the outside hit some big perimeter shots late in the game.
Top Scorers
O- Duff 22 Soule 21 Weiland 15
MG- Thomas 20 Mueller 17 Luke Nelson 10
Madison Memorial 58 Oconomowoc 55
I really thought that Oconomowoc would win this one but, after seeing the game I'm not surprised by the outcome. Madison Memorial had kind of been so so all year long while Oconomowoc where conference champs. Memorial did what they do every game dominate the glass, hit some timely threes, and get some timely big play from 6'8 junior Chris Knight. In the first half Knight had a tough time because he had 6'10 senior Spencer Treder guarding him, which I'm sure Knight is not used to having a guy guarding him that's actually taller, and this took Knight completely out of the game before picking up two first half fouls and went scoreless in the first half. On the other end Memorial was having a tough time staying with 6'2 junior Zachary Clayton who moved extremely well without the ball and was hitting some big outside shots. Memorial got some big threes from the outside to keep them around and a pair of juniors 6'5 Jake Ferguson and 6'6 Matt Caropreso got a ton of rebounds and battled on the glass. In the second half Knight finally figured out that he was quicker then Treder and used that quickness to score around him. Also Ferguson did a nice job cutting to the rim and Clayton was just a little too slow to stop Ferguson. Memorial ran the same play over and over and Ferguson was able to score on the give and go cuts. Clayton did his thing all game long but, just couldn't get enough help from anyone else as only four guys scored in the game for Oconomowoc but, of course looking at Memorial they only have five guys score.
Top Players
Jake Ferguson 6'5 junior Madison Memorial- Ferguson is the key to this team and he doesn't score a ton but, in my opinion is their best player. He cut to the hoop getting easy layups, helped bring the ball up the court playing the guard position, rebounded, and did a pretty good job of guarding Clayton.
Chris Knight 6'8 junior Madison Memorial- Blocked a handful of shots, rebounded well, and was able to score 13 points in the second half using his quickness.
Zachary Clayton 6'2 junior Oconomowoc- Moved without the ball extremely well to get wide open threes and used his strength to score on the inside. Really a nice player and was probably the best player in the game.
Spencer Treder 6'10 senior Oconomowoc- Did a good job of defending Knight in the game and also showed some very nice post moves in the game.
Top Scorers
MM- Ferguson 14 Caropreso 13 Knight 13 Billy Wilson 10 Logan Knecht 8
O- Clayton 27 Treder 12 George Kneiser 8 Ethan Wegner 8
Well the next game Oregon lost to Waunakee and they were a senior dominated team so may be some time before they make any noise again in the playoffs. Memorial really had some luck as Madison West took down Middleton the one Big Eight team they didn't beat this year and if they win will face either Sun Prairie or Muskego to get to state. Oconomowoc's star Clayton is a junior so he will be back next year but, everyone else that scored is a senior so we will see what next year brings. despite what happens to Memorial this week they start five juniors and only have two seniors that play so they will be a state contender this year and next year.

Week 14 Rankings
Well I'm going to try and give it a go. It's hard be tournament time because it comes down to one game. If a .500 team upsets a one loss team do you put them ahead or just mark it up to one bad night that won't happen again? Of course the top teams don't always win the games and it seems rare that the #1 team does win it all and that's the greatness of tournament time. So anyway here are my updated rankings.
Division One
Oconomowoc lost a tough game to Madison Memorial which is expected looking at rankings but, they were a border line ranked team and they fall out of the rankings replaced by Kimberly who had a big win against Arrowhead. Middleton was upset by Madison West and drop all the way to 15 but, could drop out of the rankings if a team outside of the rankings continues to win.
1. Stevens Point
2. Milwaukee Riverside
3. Sheboygan North
4. Racine Park

Division Two
Eisenhower was the huge upset and they drop all the way to six with a strong possibility of dropping more if lower teams continue to win. Pewaukee lost to Whitnall and Luxemburg Casco went down to Pulaski dropping both teams to 10 and 11. Milwauke Morse Marshall lost to Washington, Onalaska dropped a game to La Crosse Logan, and Stoughton went down to Mount Horeb, all conference games which are all tough come tournament time because you know each other so well. (Well Mount Horeb and Stoughton are Badger North and South). Monona Grove also lost to a conference opponent in Oregon. MG had the best record of any of the teams that lost so I dropped them only to 13 while the others fell out. Sauk Prairie, Logan, and Wausau East win and continue to move up in the rankings.

Division Three
Lake Mills lost but, they've been one of the top teams all year so I only dropped them to eight. Brown Deer was the huge upset losing to Milwaukee Lutheran and dropping to 13 as they were another top team all year. Marshall was taken out by Lakeside Lutheran and dropped to 15. Omro lost to Ripon and Southern Door to Valders dropping both teams from the rankings and are replaced by Prairie du Chien who I've completely over looked and Peshtigo who always has a very good record but, don't play the toughest schedule.
