Lake Mills faced little challenge throughout the season, steamrolling their way to an undefeated regular season, though, the postseason has been a different story. They trailed Bishop Garrigan – the 2020 Class 1A runners-up – heading to the fourth quarter in the district final but won by outscoring the Golden Bears 17-10 in the final frame.
