ABOUT THE DIVISION 4 FIELD: The Milwaukee Academy of Science has been issued the top seed in the bracket. The Novas will be experiencing State for the first time. They defeated Howards Grove 93-74 in the sectional final played at Brown Deer. They are an independent program without a conference affiliation. Second-seeded Roncalli is making its first appearance since a run of three straight experience from 2017-19 and its ninth overall. The crowning accomplishment in their eight prior appearances was a State title in 2018. The Jets return to the tournament field this year following an 52-45 win over Iola-Scandinavia in the Appleton East Sectional final. They are the champions in the Eastern Wisconsin Conference. Third-seeded Marshall returns to the State Tournament for the first time since 2012 and for sixth time overall. The Cardinals won the State championship in Division 3 in 2002 and was runner-up in 2000. They finished third in the South Division of the Capitol Conference this season, and they reach the State semifinals following a 64-45 victory over Luther in the final of the Baraboo Sectional. Cameron, the #4 seed, qualifies for the State Tournament for the third time. The first two experiences came back-to-back in 2016 and 2017. The first of those appearances was the most notable with a runner-up finish. This season, the Comets defeated Durand 71-65 in the final of the Osseo-Fairchild Sectional to advance to the State semifinals. They are the runners-up to Northwestern in the Heart O’ North Conference this year.
