Division 1 sectional semifinals
Rarely does a team go the final 11-plus minutes of a game without a basket and actually move closer to the state tournament. But top-seeded Milwaukee King did just that in a 52-46 victory over fifth-seeded Nicolet in a Division 1 sectional semifinal.
Nicolet 51, Cedarburg 32
Coach Corey Wolf had to dig deep in the archives to find the last time a Nicolet girls basketball team had the level of success the current Knights have experienced this regular season.
Nicolet 39, Brookfield Central 38
The Brookfield Central girls basketball team played its first game in the school's brand-spanking new gymnasium, but Nicolet was a less-than-gracious guest.
Homestead 51, Nicolet 43
The Homestead girls basketball team didn't have to look far for motivation when it traveled to Nicolet on Friday night. After all, the Highlanders were embarrassed in a 27-point loss to the Knights in early December.
Consider the score settled after Homestead handed Nicolet its second North Shore Conference loss, 51-43.
Gymnastics
Mequon - Because the Homestead gymnastics team decided on a 1980s theme for the Highlander Invitational on Saturday, there was no shortage of bright pink and aqua colors worn by competitors and a few spectators. But the only color the Nicolet team was concerned about was gold.
