As part of the weekly preview I produce every Thursday showcasing the best games from around the state, I always highlight one contest as the Game of the Week. To expand on that, each week I'll post a poll where you -- the fans -- can vote for who you think will win the Game of the Week.

Week 7 Game of the Week: West De Pere (6-0, 5-0; D2 #9) at Menasha (6-0, 5-0; D2 #4) -- Friday, 7 pm

These teams have been competing for the Bay Conference title since Menasha moved in after the 2013 season. Unfortunately for West De Pere, Menasha has the last four meetings. That includes last season, when despite the head-to-head win by the Bluejays, the teams shared the Bay Conference title. Menasha has had a few challenges this year, including a pair of one-score wins, but remains unbeaten. A dynamic and versatile offense behind quarterback Cole Popp, running backs Tyler Roehl and Andres Calderon, and receiver/back Riley Zirpel has been very productive. West De Pere counters with a ground-heavy attack led by quarterback Josh Blount (who has 619 rushing yards and 552 passing yards), David Vanderlogt, and Cody Cavil. The Phantoms' defense has been dominating, allowing just 21 points all year with four shutouts behind Iowa commit Jake Karchinski.
