ABOUT THE DIVISION 1 FIELD:  Top-seeded Neenah qualifies for the first time since 2019 and for the membership-leading 28th time in the school’s history. The Rockets have won three championships. Those came in 1930, 1975 and 1978. In addition, they have an abundance of runner-up results, including 1920, 1939, 1969, 1970, 1972, 1988 and 2014.  The Rockets are the champions in the Fox Valley Association this season, and they advance to the final four in the bracket following a 62-47 victory over Eau Claire Memorial in the D.C. Everest Sectional final. It’s the first time Menomonee Falls, the #2 seed, has advanced to the State Tournament in the school’s history.  The Phoenix earned the opportunity to continue their quest for their first championship with a 74-70 win over De Pere in the Hartford Sectional final. They are the champions in the Greater Metro Conference in 2022. Third-seeded Brookfield Central is making its 12th overall appearance and its first since capturing the State crown in 2019. Prior to that season, the Lancers’ furthest advance in the tournament was to the semifinals in 2000, 2002 and 2008 when the tourney featured eight teams in Division  1 and again in 2017 with four teams in the division. They finished runner-up in the Greater Metro Conference standings behind Menomonee Falls, the second seed in the bracket. The Lancers advance to State this season out of the West Allis Central Sectional with a 72-61 win over Sun Prairie in the final. Racine Case is the fourth seed. The Eagles return to State for the first time since 2005 and for the eighth time overall. Their most crowning achievement in the tournament was winning the gold trophy in 1999. Prior to that, their furthest advance was to the semifinal round. The Eagles are the champions of the Southeast Conference this season. They navigated through the Mukwonago Sectional and culminated their path to State with a 58-47 win over Waukesha South in the final.
