Xavier 73, Prescott 47

Your Wisconsin State Champions in D3 (middle sized schools). 28-0. You can't do much better than that. First state title for the Hawks in the WIAA; the Hawks won two titles in the old private schools tournament. And the top three scorers from this team are juniors.

It's the gold ball

Really a tremendous season.

Xavier 81, Ripon 74

March Madness, Wisconsin style. My beloved Hawks are in the state championship game for the third consecutive year, handing #1 Ripon an 81-74 loss in Madison. The Hawks like the 3-ball and in this picture, Henry Egan lets fly as his teammates watch:

Let it fly, young fella

The Hawks look to take the gold basketball on Saturday against Prescott.

Waupun 59, Xavier 58

A heartbreaker, but another fine season for my beloved Hawks. They will be back. Meanwhile, Waupun was at the state tournament for the first time since 1927, so you have to be happy for them.

Shout it out loud

On to the finals on Saturday afternoon against Waupun. Go get 'em, Hawks!
