WIAA girls basketball: Hernandez and Semrau forecast the tournament
Division 5
Hernandez's take
What to watch: Eastern Six Rivers Conference rivals Black Hawk and Barneveld split their regular-season meetings and will probably meet again in a sectional semifinal. But Milwaukee Heritage Christian (18-4), which played a rugged regular-season schedule, stands in their way of a trip to the Kohl Center. Seneca (22-0) is unbeaten, but its weak non-conference schedule won’t help the Indians handle the heavyweight that comes flying at them from the upper half of the La Crosse Central sectional.See you at the Kohl Center: Owen-Withee, Wausau Newman, Eau Claire Immanuel Lutheran, Milwaukee Heritage Christian.
