Micasslyn Crawford isan enrolled member of the Forest CountyPotawatomi; Lynzee McGeshick andTabitha Renkas are both enrolled members of the Sokaogon Chippewa Community. All three of these young womenwere key players on this team and playedimportant roles in leading the team toState.The team began their run to an incredibly successful season by winning theNorthern Lakes Conference championship with a season record of 18-2. Whentournament play started, its overall seasonrecord resulted in a first-round bye. TheLady Cards hosted Bonduel in the secondregional game defeating them 62-38.On Monday, Feb., 26, the Lady Cardssnatched a regional championship as theyout-scored Crivitz 68-51.Next on the competition list was thesemifinal sectional game against Shiocton. To say the least, this game was a realnail-biter and an absolute thriller! Again,Crandon came in after its regional winranked #2 and took on Shiocton who wasranked #1 (#5 state ranked). The entiregame was great to watch, but certainlythe most exciting was the last two and ahalf minutes. The Lady Cards came outfull force and played as if they had everyintention of winning despite being downat that point but knowing full well theyhad not lost the game yet! The team hitsome crucial shots, made some good foulchoices, and was able to control the balland maintain the score in their favor inthe last crucial moments. Some extremelyimportant free throws by the Cardinals brought the final score to 55-52.Needless to say, the crowd and the LadyCards alike went crazy with excitementphoto by Jeffrey Keeble Jr.at this well-deserved win! Many thoughtthe whole gym would collapse with theamount of noise and motion resultingfrom the crowd response to this incredibly exciting victory! Crawford had onepoint, three rebounds, one assist and oneblock. McGeshick had two points, twoassists, and one steal. And Renkas pulledaway with 15 points and three rebounds.(Stats cited throughout this article weregathered from the Crandon School District.)After that amazing win, the girlswere headed to Antigo, Wis., to play thesectional championship game against #1ranked Marathon on March 3, 2018.It is this reporter’s understanding thatthis sectional game was the furthest thatany Crandon team had advanced intournament play on the road to the statecompetition. Keegan Kincaid, head coachfor the Crandon girls, said in an interview with Jeffrey Keeble Jr., “Crandonhas never made it to State in the historyof the school, but I think in ’77-’78,somewhere around there, they made itto sectional finals but lost. But this yearwe made history, and it’s great to say wemade it there!” This game not only madehistory, it also meant the world to theseLady Cards to be able to pull off this winas they played their hearts out to reach agoal not previously achieved. All of thesegirls came out on the court ready to playball, and they did just that beating Marathon 50-44. Crawford did great on theboards getting five rebounds, four points,one block, one assist and one steal.Renkas led the Cards with 15 points, sixrebounds, three assists and four steals.McGeshick added six points and threerebounds while going four-for-four fromthe freethrow line.Winning the game against Marathonwas a history maker for the CrandonLady Cards along with the CrandonSchool District. The momentum feltin that gymnasium after this game wasbeyond phenomenal! Words can’t evendescribe what these girls were feeling atthat moment in time. There were tearsof joy, people rushing out onto the courtto give hugs and smiles, and screamsthroughout the crowd as the excitementbarreled through the spectators like anunstoppable freight train. It truly was anhistoric event, and it was a privilege foreveryone to be part of something thatthese players, coaches, trainers and otherstaff will NEVER forget. The entire community seemed to be there backing them.Being in attendance at the game and partof the excitement was nothing short ofMIND-BLOWING!Being division 4 sectional championswas now in the books. The next stop wasthe WIAA State Basketball tournamentheld at the Resch Center in Green Bay,Wis. Thursday, March 8, 2018, finallycame, and it was unquestionably the mostexciting day yet for this girls basketballteam. It started out with a hometownpep rally held at the Crandon School tosend these girls off to the game with goodvibes and to just show them how proudthe school and community were of theiraccomplishments.continued on pgs. 8 & 9.
