Level 1 Team of the Week Nominees:

Kettle Moraine - In was an inauspicious start for head coach Justin Gumm's team, as Verona scored a quick touchdown to go up 7-0, then took advantage of a Kettle Moraine turnover to add a field goal for a 10-0 lead less than three minutes into the game. The Lasers stayed the course however, and Mike Timm scored a pair of fourth quarter touchdowns as Kettle Moraine would win 28-19 to advance to take on top-seeded and unbeaten Sun Prairie.

Laconia - Laconia was the only seven-seed to score a victory in Level 1, taking down second-seeded host Southern Door 26-14. Quarterback Cormac Madigan rushed for 128 yards and a pair of scores, while the Spartans' defense picked off Southern Door's Derik LeCaptain three times, including a Pick-6 in the fourth quarter by Madigan to help seal the deal.

Pulaski - The sixth-seeded Red Raiders nearly put a running clock on host Appleton West on Friday, winning 40-6. Dylan Hendricks had another big game, rushing 34 times for 285 yards and 4 touchdowns, as Pulaski amassed 425 rushing yards as a team. Dustin Graf also threw a pair of touchdowns.

Stoughton - The Vikings picked up their first-ever playoff victory on Friday, defeating Badger-South rival Oregon 28-7. Stoughton got yet another huge day from running back Brady Schipper, who carried the ball 30 times for 205 yards and 3 touchdowns in just the team's fourth postseason appearance.

Valders - Valders tied for third in the tough Eastern Wisconsin Conference, and it proved to prepare them well for the postseason. The Vikings raced out to a 28-0 halftime lead on third-seeded Howards Grove before cruising home for a 41-14 victory. Michael Gesese-Elsenpeter went for 184 yards and two touchdowns on the ground, while quarterback Kyle Tuma completed eight of ten passes for 176 yards and three scores.
