“It was a great win for us,” said Lake Mills coach Jim Boehmer. “We respect Algona’s program, so to get this win when we lost set No. 1, it was critical for our program.”

Lake Mills also beat Spencer, Clear Lake and Spirit Lake.

In the championship game, the Bulldogs played No. 13 (3A) Forest City, a team they beat 3-2 earlier this season. However, the Indians won the rematch 2-0.
