MADISON — The Kaukauna Galloping Ghosts took home the Division 2 State Title on Saturday at the WIAA-WI Boys Basketball State Championships in Madison.
“Tremendous game by both teams, hard-fought” Kaukauna Head Coach Michael Schalow said. “I’m really proud of our players and how we competed.”
Kaukauna guard Jordan McCabe, named Wisconsin’s Mr. Basketball, hit the game-winning three that put Kaukauna up with the clock winding down. The final score 76-74.
“You know, everybody got to their feet, and it got really loud in there and to me it went dead silent,” Kaukauna senior Jordan McCabe said. “To me, it was probably the weirdest moment of my entire life. It went silent like nobody was in the gym and didn’t know what was going to happen, but I knew the ball was going to go in the hole. The Big Man’s got a weird way of working things out.”
This is the second state title in the past three years for McCabe in the Ghosts.
