Seven is suppose to be a lucky number. Don't tell that to New Holstein and Chilton girls basketball teams.
Both came into their WIAA regional openers as seven seeds and favored to beat the tenth seeded schools they were hosting. Seven proved to be very unlucky in both cases.
In Division 4, New Holstein, the seven seed, welcomed #10 Southern Door and playing without leading scorer and rebounder Payton Grenzer due to illness, the Huskies could not hold onto a halftime lead as the Eagles took advantage of several NH turnovers for a 47-41 upset win.
The seven seed in Division 3, Chilton, played host to a Brillion squad, seeded tenth, a team they had beaten twice in the regular season. The Tigers saw a double-digit lead fade away as the Lions grabbed the lead with one minute to go and upset Chilton, 50-47.
Also in Division 3, Kiel, a nine seed, saw their season end in a 62-48 defeat at number eight Denmark.
