ABOUT THE DIVISION 3 FIELD:  Top-seeded Waupun makes its first appearance at State since its only other experience in the tournament in 1996. The Warriors fell in the Division 2 semifinals that season. Their return to the final field of four comes by virtue of a 63-37 downing of Edgewood in the Wautoma sectional final. They are the 2021-22 champions of the East Central Conference. Second-seeded Freedom is making its third appearance overall and its first since 2019, which resulted in a defeat in the semifinals. In their first experience in the State Tournament, the Irish finished runner-up in Division 2 in 2008. Freedom is the champion of the North Eastern Conference this season, and they earned their berth in the tournament field by rolling past Brillion 83-46 in the Little Chute Sectional final. St. Croix Falls will be making its first State Tournament appearance in program history as the third seed. The Saints played their way to a berth in the final four with a 65-45 win over Altoona in the Somerset Sectional final. They finished second in the Heart O’ North standings this season. Fourth-seeded Dominican returns to State for the second time. The first came in 2011, which resulted in a loss in the semifinals. Prior to joining the WIAA, the Knights won a Division 2 championship in 2000. This season, they placed fourth in the Metro Classic Conference and advanced through the Whitewater Sectional with a 48-36 win over Martin Luther in the final.
