Statement from our principal below. We are so grateful to the nurses, the first responders, the staff at MFHS, and to all of you who offered prayers. Most of all, we are thankful to Christ for keeping our teammate in His care.
Congratulations to Kon Knueppel, who was named Wisconsin's Mr. Basketball for 2024!
Kon was chosen by the WBCA out of a pool of excellent finalists. He is the first WLHS player to receive this award.
A well-deserved honor! The presentation will be Friday afternoon in Madison.
Thank you to everyone who offered a prayer or a kind word on behalf of Jordan Glenn over the past several days. It's noticed and appreciated! We are grateful to have Jordan with us at school and as a friend and brother even as we will miss having him on the court.
The “official” sign is still being printed. He needed 30 coming into tonight; we should have known better!
31 points for Kon Knueppel tonight puts him over the 1️⃣0️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ point milestone for his career! Congrats to him!
