By Travis Wilson

The Kwik Trip Game of the Week allows you, the fans, to pick what you feel is the biggest high school football game in the state each week. Not only will that game get featured on WisSports.net, but WSN General Manager Travis Wilson will make it his destination that week, with updates, photos, videos, and stories from the big game.

Fans can vote once per day, and voting goes through Wednesday at 1 pm.

And of course, no trip to a big game in Wisconsin would be complete without a stop or two at Kwik Trip!!

Kwik Trip is a family-owned company with more than 700 stores around the Midwest, and has the best selection of snacks, drinks, and of course gas to fuel your pre- or post-game needs. So what will it be for you...glazers, chocolate milk, or maybe Travis' favorite, the Spicy Chicken Sandwich!



Arcadia at Aquinas

Arcadia enters at 4-0 overall and 3-0 in the Coulee Conference after shutting out Black River Falls, though the Raiders have played a lot of close games this season. Aquinas is 5-0  overall and has posted blowout victories in every game to this point. Aquinas quarterback Jackson Flottmeyer has been one of the best in the entire state, completing 79% of his passes for 1,156 yards and 18 touchdowns against just one interception. Arcadia's Kaden Updike has been very good as well, and he's been helped out a bit more by the running game, featuring Ryan Sokup, who averages more than 135 yards per contest. This one will be played at UW-La Crosse.

Wauwatosa West at Catholic Memorial

Tosa West got a shock last week when its game against crosstown rival Tosa East was canceled as the Trojans were getting dressed in the locker room. They'll have to stay up, however, as this week is a monumental showdown for the program against Division 4 top-ranked Catholic Memorial. The Crusaders have outscored league opponents 129-3 thus far and have looked as dominant as ever. However, perhaps no team has dominated this season as much as Tosa West. The Trojans are averaging 67 points per game while attempting just two passes all year. They’ve run for 2,116 yards in four games, averaging 529 yards per game and 14.2 yards per carry. 

Waunakee at DeForest

This is one of the state's top rivalries without a doubt, as these suburban Madison schools have played each other often not just in the regular season but also the postseason. Two years ago when we last had a state tournament, DeForest capped an unbeaten season (which included a win over Waunakee) with a Division 3 state championship, while Waunakee dropped a heartbreaker in the D2 title game. In the 2021 spring season, Wauankee quarterback Quentin Keene threw three interceptions in the first half, though the Warriors still held a 28-24 advantage, as Waunakee pulled away in the third quarter for a 48-30 win.

Edgar at Hurley

This is a non-conference replacement game as both teams lost opponents for this week, and pits a pair of top five programs in Division 7. Edgar has lost twice this season, though the Wildcats shutout Marathon 42-0 last week. Hurley had been winning pretty easily this year but had a tough time with Webster last week before pulling out a 24-14 victory. Both Max Blamey and Carter Hall average more than 100 rushing yards per game, while Derek Ransanici chips in with another 76 per contest as the Northstars are second in the state as a team with 379.2 yards per game on the ground.

Brodhead/Juda at River Valley

Brodhead/Juda is the new kid on the block in the SWC while River Valley has ruled the league for a number of years. Something will have to give in this one. Brodhead/Juda's powerful rushing attack behind Gage Boegli and Brady Rosheisen produces a lot of big plays, something River Valley's defense will have to limit. After allowing 42 points to Edgewood in Week 1, the Blackhawks are give up just 36 total points in the last four contests.
