Izzo finished the championship with a game-high 23 points. In the sectional final, Jim Root sank the winning shot against Brown Deer to allow New Berlin Eisenhower to advance to the state tournament. Then in the semifinals Friday, Kevin Marr made 5 of 6 free throws in the final 42 seconds against defending state champion Monroe. Senior Mike Hojnacki led the team in scoring and rebounding all season long. Congratulations to head coach David Scheidegger and all of the New Berlin Eisenhower Lions!
