The Potosi/Cassville Chieftains have been selected as the Week 8 WSN Football Team of the Week following a statewide vote on WSN. The team scored a big win over River Ridge to force a three-way tie atop the conference standings. The Chieftains were chosen from a strong group of nominees in Week 8. A total of 6,848 votes were cast, as Potosi/Cassville's 2,254 votes edged Nicolet's 2,070 votes.

River Ridge led Potosi/Cassville 12-0 less than three minutes into the game thanks to a 77-yard kickoff return touchdown and 85-yard scoring run, but Potosi/Cassville stayed the course and pulled ahead 14-12 at halftime. The co-op program would pull away with a big third quarter and then hold on for dear life in the fourth as Potosi/Cassville won 30-26 to forge a three-way tie atop the Six Rivers with River Ridge and Black Hawk/Warren (IL). Levi Groom threw a pair of touchdowns to Robby Roe while Ashton Spitzack and Rom Friederick combined for 255 yards and two scores on the ground.

Remember folks, the only way your favorite team can be named WSN Team of the Week is to vote and share the word. Look for the Week 9 nominees to be posted Monday afternoon.
