Second-seeded Luther (28-2) won the Division 4 championship with a 60-46 victory over fourth-seeded Kenosha St. Joseph Catholic in the tournament final.  Luther wins its first State title.

In Division 5, top-seeded Newman Catholic (27-4) earned the title with a 66-54 victory over McDonell Catholic  in the championship game.  Conner Krach led the Fighting Cardinals with a team-high 21 points, and both Mason Prey and Isaac Seidel added double figures in scoring with 18 and 15 points.   The Macks were led in scoring by Canan Huss with a game-high 28 points and Eddie Mittermeyer added 17.  Newman Catholic wins the State championship in its first-ever appearance in the tournament.
