This will be the final game for four CM seniors: Kelbie Zupan, Madelyn Brueckner, Emily Williams and Claire Christeson.

After the loss, Zupan mentioned that her team still needs to hold their heads high. Regardless of what happens next, third or fourth place at state is still a great accomplishment.

This is the first time in school history that CM sends its girls basketball team all the way to state. It’s still been a terrific season and they have one more game to prove it.
