State Champions!

Congratulations to the Wisconsin High School Girls State Champions Fond du Lac/Waupun Warbirds and the Wisconsin High School Boys State Champions University School of Milwaukee Wildcats on their state titles this year. Congratulations as well to all the teams that qualified for the state tournament field of 8 boys teams and 4 girls teams.

The two Championship games were strange contrasts as the Fond du Lac/Waupun Girls finally got "over the hump" against Onalaska this season with a win after losing to them twice during the regular season. On the boys' side Fond du Lac had lost to USM twice in the regular season and then lost again in the State Title game.

On the girls side of the tournament, the qualifiers were Hudson, Onalaska, Superior and Fond du Lac/Waupun (F/W). Every team except F/W had almost no seniors on their rosters making significant contributions, meaning all of those teams are going to be improved next year. F/W graduates four seniors, three of which were voted 1st team All State (Lauren Post (G), Maggie Bresser (F), and Amanda Finstad (D). The fourth senior was Julia Stollfus who played a regular shift at defense for the Warbirds.
