Ah, March...

and late February, tourney time, when all young fans turn to thoughts of... HOCKEY!

Here's how the WIAA men's brackets are shaping up.

Still standing? Eau Claire North and Memorial, Kettle Moraine/Mukwanago, Wisconsin Rapids, Onalaska, Sun Prairie, Middleton and Edgewood (all the Madison public schools are out), Neenah and Fond du Lac, Stevens Point and Wausau East, Marquette and (top ranked) University School Milwaukee, New Richmond and Superior.

Last night's scores are here. Whittled down to 8 by Saturday...

For the growing women's field (congrats to Madison schools for organizing a women's team this past year), this weekend top-ranked RiverFalls/StCroixCentral/Baldwin-Woodville/Elmwood will take on veteran Hudson, who eliminated the NewRichmond/Amery/Osceola/Somerset team. Winner goes to the state tournament, where they'll see the winner of this weekend's game between Madison Memorial Co-op and Onalaska.

Good luck to all competitors, and remember, it's not how ya look, it's how ya play the game. Let's play hockey...
