Basketball fans who love the high school game in Wisconsin are heartbroken. Student-athletes whose dreams suddenly are cut short are beyond heartbroken. The most disappointing day in history of prep hoops in the state.

In his final high school game, Kon Knueppel of Wisconsin Lutheran took just seven shots. And yet he dominated the game in many respects, finishing with 11 points, 11 assists, five rebounds, two steals and endless smart plays. One of the best to ever come out of the state.

And ... call me old school ... but I would much rather have a WIAA State Tournament in an 8-4-4-4 format than the current 4-4-4-4-4. Or go to an 8-8-8 format. Five champions and the lack of large-school quarterfinals has hurt the appeal for many of the state tournament.
