Wisconsin Lutheran is the defending Division 2 state champion and currently sits at 8-2 on the year. After jumping out to a 5-0 start they stalled a bit dropping two in a row but have since ran off three in a row including a statement victory over Division 1 power Arrowhead who was undefeated and ranked as the top team in the state at the time. Key victories over Catholic Memorial and Wauwatosa East are also on their resume for the year. Loyola-Chicago bound Sr. F Flavien Davis is averaging 20.2 PPG and 7.9 PPG on the season for the Vikings. He has the ability to take over the game at any time and is an excellent rebounding forward on both ends of the court. 6-5 Sr. F Tim Rotruck brings 6.5 PPG and 6.1 RPG to the table and 6-0 Jr. PG Terry Nash contributes 6.7 PPG per night for the Vikings and Head Coach Ryan Walz.
