Division 5 Sectional Breakdown & Predictions

Results from my regional final predictions followed by my overall mark in each division:   Division 1: 11-5 (45-11) Division 2: 12-4 (61-14) Division 3: 6-10 (63-19) Division 4: 13-3 (75-8) Division 5: 15-1 (93-15) TOTAL: 57-23 (337-67) (83 percent)   Breakdown and predictions for the sectional semifinals:   SECTIONAL 1 Thursday's Semifinals No. 1 seed Turtle Lake (19-5) vs. No. 2 seed Spring Valley (21-5) at Chetek-Weyerhaeuser No. 4 seed Rib Lake (20-7) vs. No. 6 seed Prentice (16-8) at Tomahawk   Turtle Lake Coach: Angela Wagner, 1st year Record at School: 19-5 2024-25 Record: 19-5 Lakeland East Record: 13-5 (Tied for third place with Unity) Number of Regional Championships: 9 Results vs. Spring Valley: Did not play. Top Players: [player_tooltip player_id='2406762' first='Brandon' last='Wagner'] (6-6, Jr., 21.1 ppg) Brody Tarman (6-0, Soph., 13.4 ppg) Cam Davis (6-3, Jr., 10.5 ppg) Lane Hegg (6-1, Sr., 7.1 ppg) Brady Jobe (5-11, Sr., 5.8 ppg) Skinny: Turtle Lake defeated a pair of Lakeland West Conference rivals at the regional level, turning back Luck in the semifinals and Webster in the finals ... [player_tooltip player_id='2406762' first='Brandon' last='Wagner'] had 20 points and 13 rebounds while Tarman added 15 points and five assists in the victory over Webster ... Turtle Lake had lost its last two regular-season contests prior to the playoffs as Grantsburg and Unity registered wins over the Lakers ... In addition to leading the squad in scoring, [player_tooltip player_id='2406762' first='Brandon' last='Wagner'] also is first in rebounding at 14.9 rpg ... He also is one of the better shot blockers in northern Wisconsin as he is averaging 2.6 blocks per outing.   Spring Valley Coach: Rob Bosshart, 35th year Record at School: 494-319 2024-25 Record: 21-5 Dunn-St. Croix Record: 12-2 (Tied for first place with Durand-Arkansaw) Number of Regional Championships: 8 Results vs. Turtle Lake: Did not play. Top Players: [player_tooltip player_id='1878607' first='Cade' last='Stasiek'] (6-0, Sr., 18.5 ppg) [player_tooltip player_id='2492770' first='Masyn' last='Wolf'] (6-7, Sr., 12.0 ppg) [player_tooltip player_id='2624630' first='Caleb' last='Bartko'] (6-4, Sr., 11.0 ppg) Trevor Forster (5-10, Sr., 7.7 ppg) Tanner Dicus (6-0, Sr., 7.2 ppg) Elijah Haug (6-1, Sr., 6.3 ppg) Skinny: Stasiek earned Player of the Year honors in the Dunn-St. Croix Conference ... He is a three-time first-team all-league pick who has scored more than 1,500 career points ... Wolf provides a massive inside presence for the Cardinals and is averaging 10.8 rpg to go along with 12.0 ppg ... Forster ranks second on the team in made three-point field goals with 32 ... Stasiek leads Spring Valley in made triples with 59 ... Spring Valley is allowing a mere 44.6 ppg so the Cardinals rely heavily on their strong defense to win games ... Bosshart is just six wins shy of 500 for his long-coaching tenure at Spring Valley. Prediction: Spring Valley matches up well with Turtle Lake as Wolf had the size to contend with Wagner in the paint. Stasiek might be the difference in this one as his ball handling, passing, shooting and decision making are all big assets for the Cardinals. The fact Spring Valley's top six players are seniors is another positive for the Cardinals. Spring Valley 57, Turtle Lake 49 Rib Lake Coach: Todd Henderson, 4th year Record at School: 62-42 2024-25 Record: 20-7 Marawood North Record: 12-4 (First place) Number of Regional Championships: 13 Results vs. Prentice: Prentice defeated Rib Lake 44-41 in Rib Lake on Jan. 6 while Rib Lake beat Prentice 59-54 on Feb. 21 in Prentice. Top Players: [player_tooltip player_id='2629220' first='Jed' last='Henderson'] (6-5, Jr., 16.3 ppg) [player_tooltip player_id='2629230' first='Talon' last='Scheithauer'] (5-10, Jr., 13.3 ppg) Seth Borchardt (5-10, Jr., 12.3 ppg) [player_tooltip player_id='2840377' first='Blake' last='Henderson'] (6-2, Frosh., 7.6 ppg) Slade Scheithauer (5-9, Frosh., 3.6 ppg) Skinny: The improved play of junior [player_tooltip player_id='2629220' first='Jed' last='Henderson'] is a big reason for the success of the Redmen ... He recently was voted Player of the Year in the Marawood North and leads Rib Lake in scoring (16.3 ppg), rebounding (10.6 rpg) and blocked shots (1.9 bspg) ... [player_tooltip player_id='2629230' first='Talon' last='Scheithauer'] and Borchardt earned picked up second-team all-league recognition ... Rib Lake won three regional games against teams from outside the Marawood at the regional level, beating Thorp (Cloverbelt West), Flambeau (Lakeland East) and Mellen (Northern Lights). Prentice Coach: Adam Blomberg, 1st year Record at School: 16-8 2024-25 Record: 16-8 Marawood North Record: 8-8 (Third place) Number of Regional Championships: 19 Results vs. Rib Lake: Prentice defeated Rib Lake 44-41 in Rib Lake on Jan. 6 while Rib Lake beat Prentice 59-54 on Feb. 21 in Prentice. Top Players: [player_tooltip player_id='2412829' first='Evan' last='Lord'] (6-2, Jr., 18.2 ppg) [player_tooltip player_id='2629213' first='Aidan' last='Hause'] (6-4, Jr., 16.4 ppg) [player_tooltip player_id='2629234' first='Hagan' last='Isaacson'] (6-1, Soph., 8.0 ppg) Heston Hueckman (5-10, Jr., 5.1 ppg) Hardy Hueckman (5-9, Soph., 4.9 ppg) Ledger Jones (6-1, Frosh., 4.3 ppg) Elijah Harding (6-0, Jr., 4.3 ppg) Skinny: Looking over the top seven players in the Prentice lineup, one thing immediately stands out, there are no seniors ... The same can be said for Rib Lake ... Lord is a three-year starter while [player_tooltip player_id='2629234' first='Hagan' last='Isaacson'] and [player_tooltip player_id='2629213' first='Aidan' last='Hause'] are both two-year starters ... Hause picked up first-team all-league recognition while Lord was voted second-team all-league ... Lord has scored more than 1,200 points during his varsity career ... Prentice won three regional contests, toppling Athens in the quarterfinals, beating Cloverbelt East co-champion Owen-Withee in the semifinals and then turning back Northern Lights runner-up Bayfield in the finals. Prediction: These two Marawood North rival rely almost exclusively on underclassmen so the future is bright indeed for the Redmen and Buccaneers. [player_tooltip player_id='2629220' first='Jed' last='Henderson'] is a handful for teams to contend with near the basket, and a strong showing from him would spell trouble for Prentice. On the other hand, Prentice boasts good depth and decent overall size. Rib Lake 63, Prentice 57 SECTIONAL 2 Thursday's Semifinals No. 1 seed Almond-Bancroft (22-5) vs. No. 2 seed Pacelli (21-6) at Wisconsin Rapids Lincoln No. 1 seed Sheboygan Lutheran (22-4) vs. No. 6 seed Elkhart Lake (17-10) at Hilbert   Almond-Bancroft Coach: Keith Dernbach, 1st year Record at School: 22-5 2024-25 Record: 22-5 Central Wisconsin South Record: 11-1 (First place) Number of Regional Championships: 11 Results vs. Pacelli: Almond-Bancroft swept the season series, beating Pacelli 58-49 on Dec. 20 in Stevens Point and 69-59 on Feb. 7 at Almond-Bancroft. Top Players: [player_tooltip player_id='1544739' first='Ayden' last='Phillips'] (6-7, Sr., 25.6 ppg, Eau Claire football recruit) [player_tooltip player_id='2622229' first='Brody' last='Dernbach'] (6-0, Sr., 11.5 ppg) Clarence Pratt (6-1, Sr., 9.9 ppg) Emmitt Stiles (5-11, Jr., 6.6 ppg) Davis Dernbach (6-0, Jr., 3.9 ppg) Skinny: Phillips is a dominant player in the post and was recently named co-Player of the Year in the Central Wisconsin South along with [player_tooltip player_id='2425502' first='Brynden' last='Beck'] of Port Edwards ... The physical and skilled big man is a four-year varsity performer for the Eagles and has scored more than 2,350 points during his stellar prep career ... Almond-Bancroft is the defending sectional champion and hasn't missed a beat under first-year coach Keith Dernbach ... [player_tooltip player_id='2622229' first='Brody' last='Dernbach'] joined Phillips on the all-league first team while Pratt, the top three-point shooter on the team, picked up second-team laurels. Pacelli Coach: John Schurk, 7th year Record at School: 117-63 2024-25 Record: 21-6 Central Wisconsin South Record: 10-2 (Second place) Number of Regional Championships: 3 Results vs. Almond-Bancroft: Almond-Bancroft swept the season series, beating Pacelli 58-49 on Dec. 20 in Stevens Point and 69-59 on Feb. 7 at Almond-Bancroft. Top Players: [player_tooltip player_id='2388795' first='Camden' last='Schurk'] (6-3, Sr., 23.5 ppg, Lakeland recruit) [player_tooltip player_id='2549589' first='Zack' last='Jeidy'] (6-5, Sr., 11.8 ppg) Lucas Hammerle (5-11, Sr., 10.9 ppg) Braeden Flaker (6-1, Sr., 6.9 ppg) Malise Beduhn (5-10, Sr., 3.6 ppg) Skinny: Almond-Bancroft seems to have Pacelli's number as the Eagles have won four straight from the Cardinals dating back to last season ... [player_tooltip player_id='2388795' first='Camden' last='Schurk'] is a two-time first-team all-league pick and has committed to NCAA Division III Lakeland University ... The son of head coach John Schurk, [player_tooltip player_id='2388795' first='Camden' last='Schurk'] is the all-time leading scorer in Pacelli history with 1,819 points ... Jeidy is having a very strong senior season and joined Schurk on the first-team all-league squad ... He gives Pacelli size and strength to battle with Phillips ... Hammerle is a streaky perimeter shooter who leads the club in made three-point baskets with 46. Prediction: Almond-Bancroft imposes its will on opponents with its deliberate style and it usually leads to positive results. The Eagles will take what the defense gives them, but they also will work for the best shot possible. And with Phillips getting 25.6 ppg in the paint, he is absolutely the go-to player and the guy Pacelli must slow in order to get a victory. Pacelli will need to shoot well and try to play from ahead as much as possible as it's tough to overcome Almond-Bancroft once it gets the lead. Almond-Bancroft 62, Pacelli 55 Sheboygan Lutheran Coach: Nick Verhagen, 13th year Record at School: 271-70 2024-25 Record: 22-4 Big East South Record: 10-2 (Tied for first place with Kohler and Oostburg) Number of Regional Championships: 12 Results vs. Elkhart Lake: Did not play. Top Players: [player_tooltip player_id='2382133' first='Marion' last='Boyland'] (6-6, Soph., 16.2 ppg) [player_tooltip player_id='2224503' first='Brennen' last='Hackbarth'] (6-5, Jr., 14.6 ppg) [player_tooltip player_id='2641634' first='Zach' last='Leonhard'] (6-0, Jr., 12.4 ppg) [player_tooltip player_id='2549586' first='Andrew' last='Krueger'] (5-11, Sr., 9.8 ppg) [player_tooltip player_id='2509476' first='Oliver' last='Leibham'] (5-11, Soph., 9.3 ppg) Jake Thomas (6-0, Sr., 5.8 ppg) Skinny: After playing in Division 4 the past few seasons, Sheboygan Lutheran returns to Division 5 with an enrollment of 185 ... Boyland is a gifted athlete and basketball player who earned first-team all-Big East South honors ... Leonhard and Hackbarth each received second-team all-league recognition ... The Crusaders have a prolific scoring squad as they are averaging 78.2 ppg ... Kohler swept the Crusaders in league play, but Sheboygan Lutheran swept Oostburg ... All three teams shared the league crown with 10-2 conference records. Elkhart Lake Coach: Mike Koehler, 6th year Record at School: 68-84 2024-25 Record: 17-10 Big East North Record: 4-8 (Fifth place) Number of Regional Championships: 2 Results vs. Sheboygan Lutheran: Did not play. Top Players: [player_tooltip player_id='1561884' first='Ashton' last='Thuecks'] (6-5, Jr., 16.2 ppg) [player_tooltip player_id='1961737' first='Brody' last='Feldmann'] (6-2, Sr., 16.2 ppg, Stout football recruit) [player_tooltip player_id='2613973' first='Brayden' last='Smith'] (6-0, Frosh., 12.8 ppg) Ethan Fromm (6-4, Jr., 7.4 ppg) Dakota Koehler (5-9, Jr., 6.7 ppg) Skinny: The Resorters won their second regional championship in school history and first since 1992 by beating Wausaukee, Saint Thomas Aquinas and Lourdes Academy in regional action ... Feldmann is a first-team all-league choice while Thuecks was voted to the second team ... Smith leads the squad in made three-point baskets with 86 ... Although Sheboygan Lutheran and Elkhart Lake each compete in the Big East Conference, they did not play each other as Elkhart Lake is in the North Division and Sheboygan Lutheran is in the South Division. Prediction: Sheboygan Lutheran has firepower and tradition on its side as the Crusaders have five players averaging at least 9.3 ppg and the team putting up 78.2 ppg. Coach Nick Verhagen has won 271 games in 13 seasons, including a state championship in 2019. Elkhart Lake is a scrappy squad with some good athletes and a very good shooter in Smith. Sheboygan Lutheran 77, Elkhart Lake 59 SECTIONAL 3 Thursday's Semifinals No. 1 seed Cochrane-Fountain City (24-2) vs. No. 2 seed Columbus Catholic (18-8) at Osseo-Fairchild No. 4 seed North Crawford (25-2) vs. No. 2 seed Royall (27-0) at Prairie du Chien Cochrane-Fountain City Coach: Jesse Cyrus, 7th year Record at School: 86-74 2024-25 Record: 24-2 Dairyland Small Record: 20-0 (First place) Number of Regional Championships: 6 Results vs. Columbus Catholic: Did not play. Top Players: [player_tooltip player_id='2624236' first='Cameron' last='Lipinski'] (6-3, Sr., 21.6 ppg) [player_tooltip player_id='2390104' first='Porter' last='Ehrat'] (6-1, Sr., 18.4 ppg) [player_tooltip player_id='2813594' first='Reed' last='Schmidtknecht'] (5-10, Sr., 8.6 ppg) Graydum Barum (6-2, Sr., 6.7 ppg) [player_tooltip player_id='2709983' first='Aidan' last='Lisowski'] (6-1, Soph., 6.4 ppg) Tanner Bambenek (6-3, Jr., 5.6 ppg) Skinny: Cochrane-Fountain City did not lose a game in league play, beating every team in the Dairyland Large and Small twice for a 20-0 league mark ... The Pirates lost non-league games to Coulee Conference members Arcadia and Gale-Ettrick-Trempealeau ... Lipinski and Ehrat are both two-time first-team all-Dairyland performers ... Lipinski is shooting 43 percent from three-point range and has buried 88 triples this season ... Ehrat tops the squad in rebounding at 6.5 rpg. Columbus Catholic Coach: Joe Konieczny, 20th year Record at School: 395-123 2024-25 Record: 18-8 Cloverbelt East Record: 11-3 (Tied for first place with Owen-Withee) Number of Regional Championships: 12 Results vs. Cochrane-Fountain City: Did not play. Top Players: [player_tooltip player_id='2500034' first='Mac' last='Konieczny'] (5-10, Jr., 16.7 ppg) [player_tooltip player_id='2509448' first='Ben' last='Weiland'] (5-11, Soph., 13.7 ppg) [player_tooltip player_id='2509449' first='Carter' last='Sommer'] (6-3, Soph., 8.5 ppg) Cole Wallace (5-8, Sr., 5.4 ppg) Sam Dums (6-2, Sr., 5.3 ppg) Kaleb Hilgeman (6-4, Jr., 3.8 ppg) Skinny: Columbus Catholic won the Division 5 state title last March and then lost five starters and eight seniors to graduation ... A rebuilding season seemed in store for the Dons, but, low and behold, this strong program wound up gaining a share of the Cloverbelt East title with Owen-Withee ... Junior [player_tooltip player_id='2500034' first='Mac' last='Konieczny'], the sixth man a year ago and the son of coach Joe Konieczny, has had a terrific season and was recently named Player of the Year in the league ... Weiland is a knockdown shooter who has made 87 triples while shooting 37 percent from outside the arc. Prediction: The Dons have six more losses than Cochrane-Fountain City yet this game is probably considered a toss up due to the steady improvement of Columbus Catholic throughout the season. Still, the Pirates have a senior dominated lineup and a pair of two-time all-league players in Lipinski and Ehrat. Cochrane-Fountain City 58, Columbus Catholic 55 North Crawford Coach: Chris Wettstein, 11th year Record at School: 153-110 2024-25 Record: 25-2 Ridge & Valley Record: 14-0 (First place) Number of Regional Championships: 18 Results vs. Royall: Royall defeated North Crawford 78-60 on Feb. 18 in Elroy. Top Players: [player_tooltip player_id='2424246' first='Cullen' last='Jacobus'] (5-10, Jr., 18.7 ppg) [player_tooltip player_id='2492765' first='Andrew' last='Munson'] (6-1, Sr., 15.4 ppg) [player_tooltip player_id='2914986' first='Zack' last='Bender'] (6-3, Soph., 9.6 ppg) [player_tooltip player_id='2634874' first='Carter' last='Emler'] (6-0, Sr., 9.2 ppg) Landon Blaha (6-0, Jr., 8.6 ppg) Sawyer Stluka (6-0, Frosh., 5.5 ppg) Skinny: North Crawford went undefeated in winning the Ridge & Valley and then surprised some by whipping a pair of Six Rivers West powers at the regional level ... Five players scored in double figures in a 73-52 regional semifinal win over River Ridge and then Jacubus had 25 points and made 11-of-13 foul shots in a 66-59 win over Potosi ... Munson is a smart lead guard who makes great decisions with the ball in his hands ... He is averaging 4.9 rpg and 2.8 apg in addition to his 15.4 ppg. Royall Coach: Scott Uppena, 12th year Record at School: 199-103 2024-25 Record: 27-0 Scenic Bluffs Record: 14-0 (First place) Number of Regional Championships: 11 Results vs. North Crawford: Royall defeated North Crawford 78-60 on Feb. 18 in Elroy. Top Players: [player_tooltip player_id='2426884' first='Carter' last='Uppena'] (6-2, Sr., 19.0 ppg) [player_tooltip player_id='2425816' first='Landon' last='Lipke'] (6-7, Sr., 14.9 ppg) [player_tooltip player_id='2613945' first='Ben' last='Crneckiy'] (6-3, Sr., 11.2 ppg) [player_tooltip player_id='2635635' first='Trey' last='Wildes'] (6-1, Jr., 10.4 ppg) Dylan Velazquez (5-10, Jr., 5.4 ppg) Skinny: Royall lost to eventual state-champion Columbus Catholic in a sectional semifinal a year ago and hopes to go further into the playoffs this time around behind a very experienced team that is led by four double-digit scorers in Uppena, Lipke, Crneckiy and Wildes ... Uppena is a four-year varsity performer and a versatile scorer and defender ... Lipke is one of the more improved frontline players in the state and does his damage under the free-throw line ... Along with Division 1 Kettle Moraine, Royall is one of two unbeaten teams in the state. Prediction: Royall beat North Crawford by 18 less than a month ago and the inside play of Lipke was one of the reasons the Panthers stayed undefeated. Lipke used his superior size and strength to score 19 points and he got plenty of help from Wildes (22 points) and Uppena (14 points). If North Crawford can make outside shots, extend its defense to create some turnovers and hold its own on the glass, it can win. But that's a lot to ask against a team the caliber of Royall. Royall 73, North Crawford 65   SECTIONAL 4 Thursday's Semifinals No. 1 seed Southwestern (22-5) vs. No. 2 Abundant Life Christian (21-6) at Evansville No. 1 seed Cambria-Friesland (22-5) vs. No. 2 seed Oakfield (20-7) at Waterloo Southwestern Coach: Clint Nemitz, 12th year Record at School: 169-133 2024-25 Record: 22-5 SWAL Record: 10-4 (Third place) Number of Regional Championships: 13 Results vs. Abundant Life Christian: Southwestern registered a 67-58 victory over Abundant Life Christian on Jan. 23 in Madison. Top Players: [player_tooltip player_id='2551616' first='Aiden' last='Keleher'] (6-1, Jr., 15.8 ppg) [player_tooltip player_id='2637634' first='Everett' last='Droessler'] (6-0, Sr., 11.1 ppg) [player_tooltip player_id='2816103' first='Carsen' last='Splinter'] (5-11, Soph., 8.9 ppg) Caden Demuth (6-2, Jr., 7.9 ppg) Bryce Pearce (6-5, Sr., 7.0 ppg) Austin Furlong (5-11, Sr., 7.0 ppg) [player_tooltip player_id='2637641' first='Jack' last='Runde'] (6-0, Sr., 5.8 ppg) Skinny: Southwestern lost in SWAL play to Darlington (twice), Cuba City (once) and Mineral Point (once) .. The Wildcats are the lone team to beat Mineral Point ... Southwestern beat Division 5 sectional qualifiers Abundant Life Christian and North Crawford within 48 hours of each other in late January ... Keleher and Droessler picked up first-team all-SWAL recognition while Runde and Furlong each received honorable mention honors ... The Wildcats have a deep team and have the benefit of playing a very challenging league schedule in the SWAL. Abundant Life Christian Coach: Mike Thies, 6th year Record at School: 91-53 2024-25 Record: 21-6 Trailways South Record: 11-1 (Tied for first place with Deerfield) Number of Regional Championships: 2 Results vs. Southwestern: Southwestern registered a 67-58 victory over Abundant Life Christian on Jan. 23 in Madison. Top Players: [player_tooltip player_id='2551628' first='Jonah' last='Koon'] (6-1, Sr., 15.4 ppg) [player_tooltip player_id='2551622' first='Jacob' last='Koon'] (6-0, Sr., 14.5 ppg) [player_tooltip player_id='1640462' first='Conner' last='Whitaker'] (6-2, Sr., 11.4 ppg) [player_tooltip player_id='2399579' first='Nick' last='Thies'] (6-4, Soph., 7.4 ppg) Kenlee Rivest (5-11, Sr., 6.6 ppg) Ethan Rockwell (6-2, Sr., 5.3 ppg) Skinny: The Challengers won a sectional title a year ago and wound up losing to Columbus Catholic in the Division 5 state-title contest ... The Koon brothers use their quickness, confidence and overall skill to make things very difficult for opposing backcourts ... Abundant Life Christian likes to get up and down the floor and shoot threes, but they can also grind out half-court possessions ... Coach Mike Thies' squad split a pair of league games with Deerfield and ended up sharing the Trailways South title with the Demons. Prediction: These two teams match up well in terms of size and skill as both rely heavily on strong ball handling, shooting and perimeter defense. Southwestern beat Abundant Life Christian in Madison in late January, and the Wildcats are favored to win again. But don't count out the Challenger seniors, who won't go down without giving it everything they have. Southwestern 63, Abundant Life Christian 59 Cambria-Friesland Coach: Derrick Smit, 20th year Record at School: 237-260 2024-25 Record: 22-5 Trailways West Record: 9-5 (Tied for third place with Randolph) Number of Regional Championships: 4 Results vs. Oakfield: Did not play. Top Players: [player_tooltip player_id='2638154' first='Carson' last='Burmania'] (6-3, Sr., 19.4 ppg) [player_tooltip player_id='2638152' first='Carter' last='Drews'] (6-1, Sr., 11.9 ppg) Ashton Brusveen (6-2, Sr., 10.0 ppg) Dayton McBride (5-9, Jr., 7.7 ppg) Austin Evans (6-0, Sr., 6.9 ppg) Skinny: Cambria-Friesland competes in the respected Trailways West and finished behind Pardeeville and Fall River in the league standings ... The Hilltoppers won regional games over Eastbrook Academy, Faith Christian of Williams Bay and Princeton/Green Lake ... A strong defense has helped Cambria-Friesland win 22 games as the Hilltoppers are allowing just 48.7 ppg ... Burmania has scored more than 1,000 career points and is the top three-point shooter on the squad. Oakfield Coach: Jason Collien, 4th year Record at School: 75-31 2024-25 Record: 20-7 Trailways East Record: 13-1 (First place) Number of Regional Championships: 11 Results vs. Cambria-Friesland: Did not play. Top Players: [player_tooltip player_id='2637722' first='Mitchell' last='Moser'] (5-9, Sr., 14.3 ppg) David Dercks (6-3, Sr., 13.2 ppg) [player_tooltip player_id='2447325' first='Brayden' last='Glugla'] (6-3, Jr., 12.6 ppg) [player_tooltip player_id='2674459' first='Bo' last='Bijl'] (6-7, Jr., 12.6 ppg) [player_tooltip player_id='2836864' first='Broede' last='Collien'] (6-1, Jr., 10.6 ppg) Skinny: Oakfield won the Eastern Division title in the Trailways Conference ... the Oaks are a difficult team to guard as they have five players who average at least 10.6 ppg ... Coach Jason Collien's squad has some good size with a pair of 6-foot-3 fowards and Bijl at 6-foot-7 in the post ... Oakfield has won seven straight games and got regional triumphs over Holy Redeemer, Randolph and Central Wisconsin Christian. Prediction: Oakfield is playing its best basketball of the season and has a size advantage over Cambria-Friesland. The Oaks also have a diverse offense with five players averaging in double figures. Cambria-Friesland has an outstanding player in Burmania, who can score in different ways and brings lots of experience to the court. Oakfield 62, Cambria-Friesland 57

Results from my regional final predictions followed by my overall mark in each division:
