DeForest used a stifling 2-3 zone defense to take down top-seeded Monona Grove in the regional final on Saturday 44-42, and the Norskies will take on yet another top-ten team in the state when they meet Monroe on Thursday night in McFarland in the sectional round of the WIAA State Girls Basketball Tournament.
Coach Jerry Schwenn credits the buy-in of his players to the system and the consistent approach to that end of the floor for the success the team has had this season. With a deep bench and capable scoring from anywhere, the Norskies will look to challenge a fellow second-place finisher in Badger Conference play, Monroe, on Thursday.
