The Madison Club Team has been selected as the Week 7 WSN Spring Team of the Week following a statewide vote on WSN. The team closed the unprecedented year with a win over Milton. They were chosen from a strong group of nominees in Week 7. A total of 4,871 votes were cast, as the Madison Club Team's 1,795 votes edged Fond du Lac's 1,770 votes.

After the Madison Metropolitan School District choose to cancel not only the fall season but the spring season for all four of its high schools, Madison West coach Brad Murphy and a group of coaches and parents sprang to action, putting together a non-school sanctioned club team, knowing it would likely cost them their jobs. The team was able to find four games this spring, winning all four, including a 28-6 decision over Milton in Week 7. Will Gutknecht ran for 176 yards and two touchdowns and quarterback Danny Karofsky threw for 126 and a score. Javon Boyton had three interceptions on defense.
