- Ithaca Bulldogs (4-0) – The Bulldogs came from behind to defeat Bangor 14-10 and give them the inside track on winning the Scenic Bluffs Conference.
- Berlin Indians (3-1) – Berlin blanked formerly undefeated Nekoosa to start their South Central Conference season 2-0.
- Wisconsin Dells Chiefs (3-1) ^1 The Chiefs walloped Adams-Friendship 55-7 last week. On paper the Dells should be able to rack up a few wins over the next few weeks.
- Nekoosa Papermakers (3-1) -1 Nekoosa got shutout by a very good Berlin team but still looks to be vastly improved from the last handful of years.
- Royall Panthers (3-1) ^1Royall rolled offensively again with a 46-28 victory over rival Brookwood. Things get tough in the SBC this week with a matchup at Hillsboro.
- Hillsboro Tigers (3-1) ^1 Hillsboro squashed Necedah last week and sets up a big homecoming matchup with Royall this week. This game could have big playoff implications.
- Cashton Eagles (3-1) ^1 Cashton overcame a slow start to pound New Lisbon 49-20. Cashton is a young team that will only get better as the season moves on.
- Bangor Cardinals (2-2) –3 Bangor is probably ranked too low on my power rankings after a tough loss to Ithaca.
- Adams-Friendship Green Devils (2-2) – Adams-Friendship is coming off a big loss to Wisconsin Dells and will try to bounce back on the road vs Waupun.
- Mauston Golden Eagles (1-3) NR Mauston got their first win of the season over Wautoma last week but is still trying to improve especially on the defensive side of the football.

Comments from the Coach:
This was a new tournament for us with teams that we’d never played before. So it was exciting to watch our girls navigate each of their opponents throughout the day, figuring out who the big hitters were and what the general strategies were for each team. I was pleased with our overall performance throughout the day. Our offense showed a lot of versatility with multiple girls stepping up to terminate attacks, so that was especially nice to see. Defensively, we have more height in the front row this season so our blockers were more effective in getting touches on our opponent’s attack. Our back row players continue to play with a passion and pursuit that is undeniable. So we are excited about where we are at this point in the season.
Next Competition:
