Twelve regional champions and four "wildcard" teams will be participating in the tournament this year. The other regional champions are River Falls, Green Bay East, Wisconsin Rapids Lincoln, Appleton Xavier, Middleton, Oregon, River Valley, Shorewood, Lodi, Brookfield Academy, and Franklin. The wildcard teams are Superior, Bay Port, Appleton West, and Madison Memorial.
Four rounds of semifinal competition will be held at the Dane County Courthouse on March 7. The rounds are power-paired, pitting winners and against winners, until ultimately the top two teams in the tournament are determined. The finalists will be announced at a banquet on Saturday evening.
They will compete for the state title on Sunday, March 8.
Returning from last year's state championship team are senior co-captains Mike Anderson and Erin Tenderholt, juniors Anna Catlin and Emily Ditzler, and sophomores Ellie Rickman, Albiona Sabani, and Sydney Schallock. New to the team this year is junior Jarod Hoha.
The faculty adviser is Kathy Vick-Martini and the attorney coaches are Amy Ferguson and Judge Mike Bloom.
