Bound Wisconsin Week 7 Football Preview

All game times 7 pm unless otherwise noted.

Sun Prairie East (4-2, 3-1; UR) at Waunakee (6-0, 4-0; D1 #5) - Waunakee is alone atop the Badger-Large Conference, but a Sun Prairie East is among a trio of teams that are just a game back, and everyone will be rooting for the Cardinals in this one to bring Waunakee back to the pack. It will be a tough order, as Waunakee has scored at least 35 points in all but one game this season.

Columbus (5-1, 4-0; D4 #4) at Lake Mills (5-1, 3-1; D4 #10) - Lake Mills suffered its first loss of the season against Lodi last week, but the L-Cats have a chance to make the Capitol Conference race really interesting over the final two weeks, as Columbus is unbeaten in league play. If Columbus wins, they’d clinch at least a share of the title and likely win it outright.

Lodi (5-1, 3-1; D3 #9) at Darlington (6-0, 4-0; D6 #3) NC - This is the rare fill-in non-conference game, but a great one featuring a couple top programs in southern Wisconsin. Lodi is coming off a big win over Lake Mills last week to stay in the Capitol Conference race.

Edgerton (4-2, 3-1; UR) at Evansville (6-0, 4-0; D4 #6) - Evansville has dominated so far this year, and the Blue Devils get a chance to take a huge step towards a Rock Valley Conference title against an Edgerton squad that is among the teams chasing Evansville.

Potosi/Cassville (6-0, 4-0; D7 #2) at Wauzeka-Steuben/Seneca (5-1, 3-1; D7 #9) - Wauzeka-Steuben/Seneca played a close game against Black Hawk/Warren last week, and things get no easier this week, as the team will welcome in Potosi/Cassville, who is undefeated and ranked second in Division 7.

Mauston (0-6, 0-4; UR) at Wisconsin Dells (2-4, 2-2; UR) -

Arrowhead (5-1, 3-1; D1 #4) at Mukwonago (5-1, 4-0; D1 #10) - Another week, another huge game in the Classic Eight Conference, as Mukwonago is trying to keep pace with Muskego in the league, while Arrowhead has to win to have any chance of the league crown most likely, after falling to Muskego a couple weeks ago.

Brookfield Central (2-4, 1-3; UR) at Brookfield East (4-2, 2-2; UR) - The Battle for Brookfield sees both teams hustling to get into playoff position, though East is certainly considerably better off than Central right now. Central did score an important win over Germantown last week, coming off four straight losses, with the previous two by one score each.

Oak Creek (4-2, 3-1; UR) at Racine Case (4-2, 3-1; UR) - Neither team is likely to catch Franklin in the Southeast Conference title race, but this is an important one for playoff purposes, with a home game in Level 1 potentially on the line.

Germantown (3-3, 1-2; UR) at Pewaukee (3-3, 1-3; D3 #9) - Both teams started out hot but have struggled a bit against challenging schedules recently. Both need to start racking up some wins to improve their playoff chances and standings.

Neenah (5-1, 4-0; D1 #9) at Kimberly (5-1, 4-0; D1 #7) - A huge game in the FVA, as the winner will hold the outright league lead heading into the final two weeks of the season. Kimberly has dominated since a shocking three-score loss to Hamilton to open the year, while Neenah has been tough all season, but has played back-to-back one-score games against Appleton North and Oshkosh West. Neenah beat Kimberly 29-28 in last year’s matchup, which led to a three-way tie atop the standings in 2024.

Kaukauna (3-3, 3-1; UR) at Appleton North (4-2, 3-1; UR) - Kaukauna has righted the ship a bit after a few struggles early in the year against a tough schedule, and is hanging around in the FVA. Appleton North is another team at 3-1, behind league leaders Kimberly and Neenah.

Wrightstown (4-2, 2-2; UR) at Freedom (5-1, 3-1; UR) - Two of the preseason favorites in the tough North Eastern Conference, both teams find themselves looking up at Luxemburg-Casco and Little Chute in the standings as of this week.

Abbotsford (5-1, 4-0; UR) at Auburndale (5-1, 3-1; UR) - Both of these Marawood/CWC teams are just outside the top ten in their respective divisions, with Abbotsford currently tied atop the standings with Edgar, while Auburndale is a game back. Abbotsford has one of the most impressive rushing attacks in the state, averaging more than 331 yards per game on the ground.

Tomahawk (5-1, 3-1; D4 #7) at Medford (2-4, 2-2; UR) - Medford won the Great Northern last year but has taken a bit of a step back in 2025. Tomahawk suffered its first defeat of the season against Mosinee last week, but does still find themselves in a three-way tie atop the standings, looking to stay there.

Rhinelander (3-3, 2-2; UR) at Mosinee (4-2, 3-1; UR) - Mosinee certainly made things more interesting in the Great Northern last week, handing Tomahawk its first league loss. The Indians are now part of a three-way tie atop the standings heading down the home stretch.

Mondovi (6-0, 4-0; D6 #4) at Regis (6-0, 4-0; D6 #2) - A huge won in the Cloverbelt Conference, as these teams have developed a nice little rivalry since Mondovi moved in a few years ago. Unfortunately for the Buffaloes, it’s been rather one-sided on the scoreboard, with Regis winning all five matchups. Sophomore quarterback Bode Falkner is a difference-maker and has the ability to hit big plays through the air on the ground as Mondovi tries to take down their nemesis.

Cashton (4-2, 3-1; UR) at Bangor (5-1, 4-0; UR) - These have been the top two teams in the Scenic Bluffs for a while, and it may come down to one of them again this year. Bangor is the leader in the league standings right now, with Cashton and upstart Royall a game behind.

Chetek-Weyerhaeuser (5-1, 3-1; D6 #9) at Cadott (4-2, 2-2; UR) - Cadott has looked much better this year, already winning four games after just one victory last season. A game against a ranked Chetek-Weyerhaeuser team coming off its first loss of the season against Grantsburg will be tough for the Hornets.

Eleva-Strum (5-1, 4-0; UR) at Cochrane-Fountain City (6-0, 4-0; D7 #5) - Coming off an emotional 15-14 win over Pepin/Alma last week, Cochrane-Fountain City gets another Dairyland Conference contender this week, welcoming in an Eleva-Strum squad that has won five straight since an opening non-conference loss to Glenwood City.

River Falls (5-1, 3-1; D2 #10) at Rice Lake (6-0, 4-0; D2 #3) - Rice Lake is currently alone atop the Big Rivers standings, but has games against second place squads River Falls and Hudson coming up still this year. First up is River Falls, who scored a 44-21 win over Hudson last week to remain in the league race. Running back Joseph Tarasewicz and quarterback Tino Massa have been tearing it up for the Wildcats recently.

New Richmond (4-2, 2-2; UR) at Menomonie (4-2, 2-2; UR) - New Richmond is in a tough stretch of games, and is just 1-2 in the last three, falling to Hudson and Rice Lake. Menomonie is no pushover, as the Mustangs need to get some good wins on their playoff resume, as the four teams they’ve defeated so far have just four wins on their record.

Reedsburg (4-2, 2-2; D3 #10) at La Crosse Logan (4-2, 2-2; UR) - Logan has dropped back-to-back games to La Crosse Central and Onalaska, as the Rangers are looking to get back on track, welcoming in a Reedsburg team that defeated them on a last second field goal last season.

Boyceville (5-0, 4-0; D7 #4) at Spring Valley (4-2, 4-0; UR) - These teams are tied for first place in the Dunn-St. Croix Conference, with the winner getting a big leg up heading into the final two weeks.
