MUSKEGO HIGH SCHOOL takes the SMCA Conference Championship
Muskego High School finished the season with a bang, winning the SMCA conference with an 8-1 record!
Our players of Evan, Jason, Reid, Rachel and Jake started the day 6-0 in the final meet and facing a difficult 4-2 Brookfield Academy (who had had missing players a couple times to contribute to their losses). They surprised us, and won 22-18.
Now 6-1, we faced the other 6-1 team, New Berlin West. With a fairly easy match ahead of us in the final match, we knew the NBW game would decide the conference. The MHS players won 4 out of 5 boards, then swept the final match to win the conference with a 8-1 record.
Evan Seghers won the conference MVP trophy for the 2nd year in a row, and was 1st team all conference, as voted by Coaches. Jason Markowski and Reid Seghers were voted 2nd team all conference. Rachel Gomoll was honorable mention.
We won the conference three years ago with a very similar team, then Brookfield Academy won the last two years. It's nice to bring the trophy home to Muskego!
In JV, we had Will, Alyssa, Sam, David and Adam. Will went 3-0, Alyssa, Sam and David went 2-1, and Adam went 1-2. A great showing against mostly high school players! The future of the club is definitely bright.
NEXT UP: Grade Level on Mar 5, and STATE Mar 19-20. Let us know if you'd like to go!
