ABOUT THE DIVISION 2 FIELD: Waupun returns to State for the first time since 2010. The Warriors are making their 16th appearance in the State Tournament. They have won a membership-leading 11 championships (1993, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1999, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2008). They have also finished runner-up twice, in 1994 and in 2007. The Warriors defeated Luxemburg-Casco in the Waupaca Sectional final to advance to the State semifinals, and they won the Eastern Wisconsin Conference championship this fall. Catholic Memorial makes its seventh State appearance and its first since winning the third of three consecutive titles in 2011. The Crusaders also won the championship in 2006 and finished runner-up in 2008. They defeated Kettle Moraine Lutheran in the East Troy Sectional in three sets to earn the chance for a fifth State title. They are the champions of the Classic Eight Conference this season. Platteville last experienced the State Tournament during the pool-play-format era in 1994 when the Hillmen won the State title. They also won Class B championships in 1977 and 1979, and finished runner-up in 1978. The Hillmen's fifth overall appearance and their first in two decades comes following their victory over Lakeside Lutheran in the Whitewater Sectional final match. They are the co-champions of the Southwest Wisconsin Conference. Tomahawk is making its fourth appearance in the State Tournament and its first since 2012. The Hatchets are in pursuit of their first State title. They placed runner-up in 2011. Their berth in the semifinals comes following a four-set win over Barron in the New Richmond Sectional final. The Hatchets are the champions in the Great Northern Conference this year.
