KAUKAUNA – No. 1 seed Kaukauna proved too much for Appleton West to handle as it ended the Terrors’ season with a 94-58 victory in a WIAA Division 1 regional semifinal Friday at Kaukauna High School.

The Ghosts put up 53 points in the opening half, rolling out to a 31-point lead, and cruised the rest of the way.

Kaukauna (22-3) will host No. 9 seed Neenah (16-9) in a Division 1 regional final Saturday. The Fox Valley Association rivals split their two meetings during the conference season.

Appleton West, which earned a playoff win over Wisconsin Rapids last Tuesday, finish the season with a 3-23 record.

Keegan Van Kauwenberg drilled eight 3-pointers and finished with 30 points and eight rebounds to lead the way for the Ghosts.
