Just where would Sun Prairie be without junior running back Noah Diaz? If you ask head coach Brian Kaminski he'll tell you they likely wouldn't be 5-0 after a 40-20 win over previously undefeated Madison La Follette. In the game Diaz ran it 32 times for a school-record 325 yards and 3 touchdowns. Expected to be the #3 back coming into the year, he now has 1040 yards and 12 touchdowns in five games.
