South finished their season fifth in the Classic Eight, and entered the tournament seeded fourth in the 16 team sectional.

South’s players took great pride in the win, as the hours of hard work poured into drills, workouts, and watching film finally paid off. “Winning this game was really big, not only because it made us regional champions, but because it was the last (home) game I would play at Waukesha South,” said senior and three-year varsity starter Emma Kelliher. “Becoming regional champions, with the home advantage, while being surrounded by the South atmosphere, was a feeling I wouldn’t trade for anything.”
