MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Blair-Taylor returns to the boys state tournament for the fifth time, and the first time since back-to-back appearances in 2004 and 2005.

The Wildcats have lost in the semifinals in each of their four previous appearances.

Blair-Taylor won the Dairyland Conference and beat Prentice 34-33 to earn a trip to the state tournament.

Blair-Taylor will take on Benton, which won the Six Rivers Conference and beat Sheboygan County Christian to advance.
