Wisconsin Crowns Five State Champions at 110th WIAA Tournament

The 110th Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association State Boys Basketball Tournament concluded Saturday, March 21 at the Kohl Center in Madison with five championship games producing memorable moments across every division.

In Division 1, Wisconsin Lutheran capped a perfect 30-0 season with a commanding 57-37 victory over Madison Memorial (27-3). Senior guard Zavier Zens finished his prep career with a third straight state championship — cementing his legacy as one of the most decorated players in WIAA history.

Division 2 saw Whitefish Bay (24-6) pull away from rival Slinger (25-5) with a 77-46 blowout in the championship game, giving the Blue Dukes their first state title since 2018. Racine St. Catherine's (24-4) handled Seymour (28-2) 61-41 for the Division 3 crown.

Perhaps the most compelling storyline came from Division 4, where Milwaukee Juneau (28-1) defeated Cambridge (20-10) 62-54 in a game that marked the first-ever state tournament appearance for both programs. In Division 5, Reedsville (28-3) captured the championship with a 56-48 win over Southwestern — the program's first state tournament trip since 1946, when it won the then all-division title.

The tournament showcased the depth of Wisconsin basketball from the smallest schools to the largest, with several Cinderella stories and dominant championship runs.
