2012 WIAA Seeding Meeting Tomorrow

WIAA Girls Basketball Page
WIAA Division 5 Brackets
(Immanuel is in Sectional #3, Half Bracket A)

Tomorrow is the WIAA seeding meeting for the half-sectional in which Immanuel is included (see earlier post).  The resultant seeded brackets will be updated during the weekend, most likely on Sunday.  We will post the results on the blog.  In years past the seeding has been done by 8 teams in a regional.  This year it is by the half-sectional so it will be seeded 1 through 16.  The following chart shows the teams listed in order of their MaxPreps ranking along with their current records, winning percentage, and RPI (all info. current as of today, 2/24/2012):

Team	Record	W%	RPI (2/24)	MaxPreps (2/23)

Eau Claire Immanuel	16-4	0.80	0.563	176

Game 20: Immanuel @ Gilmanton

At Gilmanton
February 23, 2012

Eau Claire Immanuel: 55 (16-4, 9-3) 
Gilmanton: 46 (6-12, 4-9)


Note:  Immanuel continued to add to its record season with a win at Gilmanton. It's always a tough place at which to play.  But at least the gym has new lights!  And perhaps that was all it took to take away the spook.  While Immanuel led pretty much from wire to wire, Gilmanton made its streaks and kept it close.  Beginning the 4th quarter Immanuel was ahead 42-28, a seemingly comfortable lead.  But Gilmanton turned the momentum to its favor.  With 3:40 to go Gilmanton pulled it within three with a score of 45-42.  But then an &1 was converted to start the pull away that Immanuel needed.  In fact, Immanuel was 8 for 10 from the charity stripe in the last 3:30 minutes of the game!  While Immanuel was tested in the final minutes, the team came out on top to maintain a tie at the top of the conference with Alma/Pepin.  Alma/Pepin won 53-47 at Cochrane-Fountain City.  This means Monday will be a big night for determining the conference championship.  Immanuel will play Cochrane-Fountain City at home and Alma/Pepin will also play at home against Independence.  Should Immanuel win and Alma/Pepin win, they would share the conference title.  Should both teams lose, there would be a three-way tie for the conference title.  Either way, Immanuel fans are summoned to come and cheer their team to victory on Monday night for the Small Dairyland Conference Championship!

2-20 Hoops Roundup: Lake Holcombe girls fall to Immanuel

EAU CLAIRE — For the second time in less than a month, Lake Holcombe ran into the train that is the Eau Claire Immanuel girls basketball team.

Behind 19 points from Abbie Hein, the Lancers dispatched the Chieftains 58-39 Monday night. Lake Holcombe’s only two losses in the past month have come at the hands of Eau Claire Immanuel.

With the win, Eau Claire Immanuel picked up its school record 15th victory, improving to 15-4 on the season.

Lake Holcombe (15-4) was led by Tiffany Marshall’s 22 points. With a three-pointer late in the first half, Marshall surpassed the 1,500-point mark for her career.

Molly Webster added eight points for the the Chieftains.

After jumping out to a 12-6 lead following the first quarter, the Lancers increased that margin to 33-14 at halftime and weren’t threatened the rest of the way.

“We know how to play them,” Eau Claire Immanuel coach Jim Sydow said. “We limited our turnovers and that’s how they’ve scored a lot of their points. We forced them to play half-court basketball.”

Lake Holcombe gets back to East Lakeland Conference action when it heads to Cornell on Friday.
