🏌Match Report - Big East Championship & Big East Final Standings
No other way to say it, we did it! Howards Grove’s first Conference title since 1996! Coincidentally Andy Hansen was the coach last time Howards Grove won a conference title... So proud of all 7 varsity letter winners for pulling their weight this season, and in the end it took everyone to win today! This coupled with our JV team's undefeated Big East season has made this one to remember.
This is a really good conference full of great players and teams, we feel very honored to be Big East Champions this year. Congrats to all the teams in the conference on a strong season, everyone who finished all conference, and Drake Wilcox from Sheboygan Lutheran for winning Big East Player of year! Best wishes to everyone in the WIAA postseason!
