Fourth-seeded Verona begins their quest for their second state title and first since winning it all in 2014 in boys hockey when they play fifth-seeded Eau Claire North on Thursday afternoon at 12:30 p.m.
The Big 8 champions navigated one of the deepest sectionals in the state, which featured six teams ranked in the top 25 according to two sets of state rankings. Verona won over Big 8 rival Sun Prairie to advance to state.
Coach Joel Marshall discussed the team's run to state for the second straight year on The Prep Report on The Big 1070 in Madison.
