THE DIVISION 2 FIELD:  Two-time defending champion Denmark returns to the State Tournament as the #1 seed in the bracket this year. It’s the Vikings third consecutive appearance at State and the fifth overall. In each of their previous four experiences, they have advanced to the championship game. Their first two resulted in runner-up finishes in 2002 and 2005. This season, they blanked Chilton 2-0 in the Winneconne Sectional final to earn the opportunity to pursue a third title. The Vikings are the champions of the North Eastern Conference this season. Second-seeded St. Thomas More will be experiencing the State Tournament for the first time in program history since joining the WIAA. The former member of WISAA won two State titles prior to the organization ceasing operations. The Cavaliers won the championship in 1981 when only one division existed and then again in Division 1 in 1996.  This season, they are the champions of the Metro Classic Conference, and they gained a berth in the tournament following a 3-2 win over Kettle Moraine Lutheran in the Big Foot Sectional. It will be only the second  State Tournament appearance for third-seeded Altoona. The Railroaders first experience at State resulted in a runner-up finish in 2010. Their return to the State semifinals comes virtue of a 3-0 shutout over West Salem in the sectional final hosted at Altoona. The Railroaders are the champions of the Middle Border Conference this spring. Jefferson, the runner-up the past two seasons, is the #4 seed. The Eagles are making their ninth appearance at State. They won the championship in 2014 and had two other runner-up finishes, including 1994 and 2018. The Eagles are back for another chance at a title after a five-inning, 12-2 clubbing of Reedsburg in the Portage Sectional final. They are the runners-up in the Rock Valley Conference this season.
