WSN Basketball Rankings - Feb 19 (Week 12)

WSN Basketball Rankings for February 19, Week 12 of 2012-13 season, Division 5 (See WSN Commentary):



Immanuel made the WSN rankings this week!  For the Week 1 poll, Immanuel had been ranked to start the season at #7.  Now for the last WSN ranking of the season, Immanuel crept back into the rankings at the #10 spot!  These are clearly the two highest rankings ever in Immanuel girls basketball history!  This is two seasons in a row that Immanuel has been ranked.  Last year Immanuel was ranked #14 during Week 14 and #13 during Week 15 (final ranking week).  This season the rankings have only included the top 10.  Interestingly, Immanuel has not received any AP votes this season.  Last year they received votes in the AP poll:  8 votes on Feb. 6 (see post), 1 vote on Feb. 13, 8 votes on Feb. 20, 8 votes on Feb. 26.  A source close to the 2005-06 season says that the team that year may have received an AP poll vote once.

Game 21: Immanuel @ Eleva-Strum

More updates coming ...

At Eleva-Strum
February 18, 2013



Eau Claire Immanuel:  52   (18-3, 12-1) 

Eleva-Strum:  39  (11-10, 10-3)

NOTE:  The Immanuel girls basketball team continued their winning ways this evening!  In the Lancers getting the 52-39 win over Large Dairyland Conference Champion, Eleva-Strum (10-3 in conference play), they have proven themselves to be the clear overall Dairyland Conference leaders with a 12-1 conference record.  It is amazing to realize that after starting conference with an 0-1 record, the Lancers have gone on to have 12 straight conference wins, even avenging their early-season loss to Gilmanton by handily defeating them in their second match-up.  Through the journey, Immanuel was the sole team to beat every conference team.  The only other time Immanuel accomplished that was in 2006-07 when the team went 11-2 in conference, beating and losing to then-Small Dairyland opponents Eleva-Strum and Independence.  Also, keep in mind that this is only the third time Immanuel has beaten Eleva-Strum in the past 10 years, now a 3-15 record over since 2002.  It is also the only time in Immanuel history that that they have beaten Eleva-Strum two times in a row, the Lancers having a 53-48 marquee win last season.  With the win this evening, the Lancers extend their historic winning streak to 14 games and improve on their historic mark of 18-3.

Here are some articles about the upcoming WIAA Playoffs ...

----------------------
From today's Eau Claire Leader-Telegram:

Girls hoops: Huskies to open playoffs on road

By Leader-Telegram staff
A share of the Big Rivers Conference lead wasn't enough to earn Eau Claire North a home playoff game.
 The Huskies will start their WIAA girls basketball playoffs journey on the road. When the playoff brackets were released Sunday, North was shown as a five seed in the Division 1 D.C. Everest Sectional. It will travel to fourth-seeded Wausau West in a regional semifinal Friday, March 1.
North (15-5) is tied with Chippewa Falls (17-4) for the Big Rivers lead with one game remaining. The Cardinals were seeded second and will host seventh-seeded Eau Claire Memorial in a regional semifinal.
The third-place team in the Big Rivers, Rice Lake, was seeded fifth in the Division 2 Marshfield Sectional. The Warriors (11-10) take on fourth-seeded La Crosse Central in their opener.
Menomonie will be in action in the regional quarterfinals. Seeded seventh, the Mustangs (7-13) travel to 10th-seeded Tomah on Tuesday, Feb. 26.
Four Heart O'North teams earned first-round byes in the Division 3 River Falls Sectional. Conference champion Ladysmith (19-2) is the top seed in the top half of the bracket.
Runner-up Barron (17-4) is seeded second and third-place Hayward (15-4) is seeded third. Both have byes to the regional semifinals.
Bloomer (14-7), the Heart O'North's fourth-place team, is a No. 3 seed in the bottom half of the bracket. The top seed there is unbeaten Eastern Cloverbelt champion Neillsville, the state's top-ranked team. The Warriors (20-0), who won the Division 4 state championship last year, move up to D3 this season.
The top two teams in the Dunn-St. Croix both earned No. 1 seeds and first-round byes in Division 4.
Conference champion Colfax (20-2) is the top seed in the top half of the Chippewa Falls Sectional. If both teams win their regional semifinals, the Vikings would face fourth-seeded Eau Claire Regis (14-7) in a regional final.
The Ramblers, champions of the Western Cloverbelt, will host the winner of Webster and Grantsburg in Friday's regional semifinals.
Elk Mound (15-5), the third-place team in the Dunn-St. Croix, is seeded third in the bracket. The Mounders are opposite Central Lakeland champion Cameron (18-2) in their regional. The Comets are seeded second.
In the Baraboo Sectional, Mondovi (14-7), currently second in the Dunn-St. Croix, earned a No. 1 seed. Western Cloverbelt runner-up Fall Creek (15-6) is the No. 2 seed in that regional.
In Division 5, Large Dairyland champion Eleva-Strum is seeded first in the top half of the La Crosse Logan Sectional.
