Franklin remained unbeaten after a 35-7 road win at Muskego on Friday, finally taking down their postseason nemesis.

Stoughton's Cinderella run continues as the Vikings rallied from a fourth-quarter deficit to take down defending Division 3 state champion Monroe 23-16 on Friday night.

He finished 20-of-36 in the game with 275 yards and those three scores. It is the deepest postseason run for Stoughton in school history.
