Nina 52, Marshfield 48
STEVENS POINT – The Rockets rallied from a nine-point deficit in the second half to defeat the Tigers to win the section title and advance to the state tournament.
Nina is heading to state for the third consecutive year and fourth time in six seasons. This will be the Rockets' 30th trip to state, and they will be looking to win their fifth state title.
Neenah, which joins Hartland Arrowhead, Kettle Moraine and Milwaukee Market in the state, has won 13 straight games and 17 of its last 18 games.
Brady Corso replaced Nina and scored 18 of his game-high 24 points in the second half.
Marshfield led 26-20 at halftime and extended its lead to 34-25 with 13:59 left in the second half, but the Rockets gradually closed the gap.
Corso made a 3-pointer with 5:45 left to give Neenah a 42-41 lead, then made another 3-pointer to make it 45-41 with 4:56 left.
With Neenah leading 47-45 with 48 seconds left, Corso made a layup on an inbounds play to extend the Rockets' lead to four points.
After a mistake by Marshfield, Corso scored again to give the Rockets a six-point lead.
Brooks Hinson hit a 3-pointer with 21.5 seconds left to pull the Tigers within 51-48.
Corso made one of two free throws with 15.5 seconds left to make it 52-48.
Hinson missed a 3-point shot for the Rockets, and Justin Jansen grabbed the rebound with 5.1 seconds left but was fouled.
Jansen missed a free throw and Hinson missed a 3-pointer as time expired at the other end.
Charlie Wunderlich added 13 points for Neenah, which improved to 21-7 overall.
Hinson scored 16 points for Marshfield, which finished the season with a 25-3 record.

Nicolette 56, Ashwaubenon 44
WHITEFISH BAY – The Knights outscored the Jaguars 22-4 in the final 8 1/2 minutes to pull away for the sectional championship.

division 3
Keel 73, Freedom 56
MANITOWOC – Freedom's Drew Coates scored a game-high 30 points, but it wasn't enough as the Irish lost in the section championship game.
Kiel remained undefeated (28-0) and qualified for the state tournament for the third time since 2010.
Grant Mantz led Kiel with 17 points. Pierce Arens had 13 points, Aidan Murphy had 15 points and Jack Heckman had 13 points.
“It's been that way all year long,” Kiel coach Marcus Rumpf said of the balanced approach. “If Grant or Pierce is out, there's always someone to fill that void. These kids are unbelievable.”
Even after cutting a lead of nearly 20 points in the second half to five points with about six minutes left, the Raiders remained focused.
The senior standouts did just that, as the Irish forced Mantz and Arents to victory at the free-throw line. Arents went 7-of-11 from the line and Mantz went 7-of-10, all in the second half.
Freedom finished the season with 23 wins and 5 losses, with Donovan Davis adding 14 points.
