OCONOMOWOC, Wis. - s4story -- OCONOMOWOC, WI — The wait is nearly over. W7 Productions — Wisconsin's leader in live, free girls sports coverage — tips off its 2025-26 girls basketball season on November 18, broadcasting over 100 games featuring more than 100 girls basketball teams from across the state — all under this year's official theme, #ChasingGold.

The #ChasingGold theme represents more than winning games. It's about being your best on and off the court — working hard, leading with integrity, and being the kind of player your teammates and coaches can always count on. While every team dreams of raising gold in March, W7's mission is to celebrate the everyday pursuit of excellence, character, and commitment that defines Wisconsin girls basketball.

The season opens with Grafton at Plymouth, featuring W7's 2025-26 Home School, the Grafton Black Hawks, in their first live broadcast of the year.

The Grafton Black Hawks headline the season as the official W7 Home School for 2025-26, with 12 live-streamed games throughout the year. W7 will also feature every Kaukauna Girls Basketball home game, several Notre Dame Academy home games, and multiple marquee matchups featuring Manitowoc Lincoln.
