The girls' tournament took place in Green Bay March 9-11, but the boys' state basketball finals still bring the action to Madison. All the area schools still in the running during the sectionals fell this past weekend; Marshall, Middleton, Mineral Point and Stoughton all were knocked out on March 9, and Belleville, Edgewood and McFarland followed on March 11. However, that just means you can settle back and enjoy the competition no matter the victor. The final 20 teams from around the state will converge on the Kohl Center March 16-18.
