NEILLSVILLE GIRLS CLINCH 6TH STRAIGHT ECC TITLE
Wednesday, February 23rd, 2011 -- 11:23 AM
With their win over Marshfield Columbus last night, the Neillsville Warrior girls basketball teamed clinched their 6th straight Eastern Cloverbelt Conference title. Neillsville improved to 14-0 in ECC play and 19-0 overall. During this 6 year run Neillsville is 85-3 in conference play, with 2 games left to play this year. They're averaging 21 wins overall as well in the last 6 seasons. The Warriors will have a showdown on March 5th for the Cloverbelt Conference Championship when they'll meet unbeaten and number one ranked Eau Claire Regis at Osseo-Fairchild. It will mark the first time that Neillsville will play a team other than Osseo-Fairchild in the Conference Championship since their 6 year run began. With their 6 consecutive titles, Neillsville becomes the first team to win that many in a row since Owen-Withee won or tied for the top spot in the East 11 years in a row from 1973-74 to 1983-84. Neillsville will host Owen-Withee this Friday at the Fieldhouse.Feel free to contact us with questions and/or comments.
