ABOUT THE DIVISION 2 FIELD:  Defending champion Notre Dame returns to the tournament for the ninth time. The Tritons have four State titles. In addition to last season, they won the gold trophy in the program’s first-ever appearance at State in 2001 and won back-to-back titles in 2013-14. They also added a runner-up finish in 2005. Prior to joining the WIAA, the Tritons were the Division 1 runners-up in 1994 as a former member of WISAA. This season, they are the champions of the Fox River Classic Conference and have advanced to the State semifinals following a 53-44 win over Beaver Dam in the sectional final held at West Bend West. Last year’s runner-up Reedsburg is seeded #2 and are the only undefeated team in the bracket. The Beavers qualify for the State Tournament for the second year in a row and for the third time in program history. Their first appearance came in 2012 when they fell in the semifinals. They attempt to defend their title this season following a 63-45 win over Union Grove in the Oregon Sectional. Reedsburg placed atop the standings in the West Division of the Badger Conference this season. Third-seeded Pewaukee advances to State for the second time, but it will be the first time the Pirates will actually experience the tournament after qualifying in 2020 prior to the cancellation of games because of the COVID-19 pandemic. They defeated Pius XI Catholic 72-54 in the West Allis Central Sectional final. The Pirates finished in a tie for first place with Pius XI Catholic in the West Division of the Woodland Conference standings. Menomonie, the fourth seed, will be making its first-ever appearance in the State Tournament. They earned their berth with a 56-44 victory over Lakeland in the Hayward Sectional final. During the regular season, the Mustangs were the champions in the Big Rivers Conference.
