Madison East is on a mission after coming up a few minutes short of state in last year's WIAA playoffs. Coach Matt Miota draws some parallels to last year's squad, which let last year's sectional final against Madison Memorial get away from them in the last four minutes. The Purgolders will face Waunakee in the sectional semifinal, and Coach Miota is excited to take a playoff path that has them playing teams from outside of the Big 8, which he calls the best conference in the state.
