After two bad late-season losses, Whitefish Bay rights the ship in the tournament and wraps up by beating Merrill 65-49 for the WIAA Division 2 boys basketball title.
Kevin Lazovik had a little case of déjà vu Saturday evening. Lazovik helped bring Whitefish Bay its first WIAA boys basketball title in 1996 as a player. Now, 15 years later, he helped the Dukes to their third state title, this time as a head coach, as Bay knocked off Merrill in the Division 2 state title game, 65-49 (boxscore). “It’s just as sweet now as it was then,” Lazovik said. “There’s not often that you can call yourselves state champions and we can do that.
