Bound Wisconsin Week 7 Football Preview

All game times 7 pm unless otherwise noted.

La Crosse Logan (6-0, 4-0; D3 #4) at Reedsburg (5-1, 3-1; D3 #5) - Logan is tied with Holmen atop the Mississippi Valley Conference standings, while Reedsburg is a game back. Not only does this have big-time league implications, the winner likely earns a one-seed in the WIAA playoffs.

Benton/Scales Mound/Shullsburg (5-1, 4-0; UR) at Darlington (6-0, 4-0; D5 #1) - Benton/Scales Mound/Shullsburg is off to an excellent start to 2026, but taking on Darlington will be a different animal, as the Redbirds have steamrolled the competition thus far.

Cambridge (4-2, 3-1; UR) at Pardeeville (6-0, 4-0; D6 #10) - Pardeeville is tied atop the Eastern Suburban Conference standings with Belleville, and the Bulldogs will look to stay there against a Cambridge team that is just a game back.

Berlin (4-2, 4-0; UR) at Wisconsin Dells (4-2, 3-1; UR) - Berlin is alone atop the South Central Conference standings, while Wisconsin Dells is one of three games tied a game back. Berlin has already beaten the other two teams, Ripon and Mauston, as this is the last big hurdle for the Indians to get past to all but wrap up the conference crown.

Muskego (5-1, 3-1; D1 #5) at Arrowhead (6-0, 4-0; D1 #1) - Yet another huge matchup in southeast Wisconsin, as undefeated defending champion Arrowhead welcomes in Muskego. Last year, Muskego handed Arrowhead its only loss of the year, 21-17.

New Berlin West (5-1, 4-0; D3 #7) at New Berlin Eisenhower (5-1, 3-1; D3 #9) - The National (Avenue) Championship Game is a huge one, as both teams enter at 5-1 overall. West is looking to stay in the Parkland race with Pewaukee and in the mix for a number one seed in Division 3.

Port Washington (6-0, 4-0; D3 #2) at Grafton (4-2, 3-1; D2 #10) - A top ten matchup in the Glacier Trails Conference, as undefeated Port Washington goes on the road to defending Division 3 state champion Grafton. The Black Hawks are coming off a tough loss to West Bend West last week.

Oconomowoc (4-2, 2-2; D1 #7) at Mukwonago (2-4, 1-3; UR) - Mukwonago started the year in the top five of our Division 1 preseason rankings, but at 2-4 overall with a brutally tough closing schedule, the Indians are very much in danger of missing the playoffs. Not only do they have a tough Oconomowoc squad this week, they have Arrowhead and Muskego coming up. A win in any of those games probably catapults the Indians into the postseason.

Brookfield Central (3-3, 1-3; UR) at Catholic Memorial (2-4, 0-4; D3 #10) - Catholic Memorial has dropped four straight games , and while they have played some of the best teams in the state during that run, the Crusaders have struggled to hang. Brookfield Central is a solid squad that will present challenges to CMH, who is tumbling down the playoff qualifier list.

Marquette (4-2, 3-1; UR) at Germantown (3-3, 2-2; UR) - Both teams are working on postseason positioning, looking to continue racking up wins to help out their PQS number. Marquette sophomore running back Bear Bonk is really coming on of late.

Homestead (6-0, 4-0; D2 #2) at Wisconsin Lutheran (3-3, 2-2; UR) - Wisconsin Lutheran has been very much up-and-down this year, though they’re coming off a three-score win over Slinger. Homestead has been a model of consistency and is rolling along undefeated to this point.

Racine Horlick (2-4, 1-3; UR) at Kenosha Bradford (4-2, 3-1; UR) - Horlick and Bradford meet up for the 94th time, as Kenosha Bradford leads the all-time series 49-42-2.

West De Pere (6-0, 4-0; D1 #4) at Bay Port (6-0, 4-0; D1 #2) - A gigantic battle in the FRCC-North, as these teams have played some incredible games the last few years. That includes last season when West De Pere won a 48-45 shootout behind 478 passing yards and seven touchdowns from Patrick Greisen.

Kimberly (2-4, 2-2; UR) at Appleton North (4-2, 3-1; UR) - It is jarring to see Kimberly sitting at 2-4, coming off a 21-11 loss to an Oshkosh West team that had been shutout its three previous games. Shockingly, the Papermakers are outside the playoffs as of right now.

Neenah (3-3, 3-1; UR) at Fond du Lac (3-3, 2-2; UR) - Neenah finally got a signature win last week with a 21-14 victory against Appleton North. Now the Rockets travel to a Fond du Lac team looking for a signature win of its own.

West Bend West (4-2, 3-1; UR) at Plymouth (6-0, 4-0; UR) - Plymouth is unbeaten and closes with a tough schedule beginning with West Bend West, who took down Grafton last week after a close loss to Port Washington just a week before.

Denmark (5-1, 3-1; UR) at Little Chute (5-1, 3-1; D4 #4) - After a loss to top-ranked Freedom last week, Little Chute has to avoid that snowballing into another defeat against a Denmark squad that is 5-1 and has only lost to Freedom as well.

Notre Dame (6-0, 4-0; D2 #1) at Menasha (5-1, 4-0; UR) - Notre Dame has posted four straight shutouts and is one of the most dominating teams in the state this year. While Menasha is 5-1 with five straight victories, keeping pace with the Tritons and record-setting running back Kingston Allen could be a challenge.

Shiocton (6-0, 4-0; D7 #3) at Coleman (4-2, 3-1; UR) - Shiocton is undefeated and currently leading the Northwoods Conference, but Coleman will be a tough test for the Chiefs. The Cougars’ losses this year came against larger top five teams Bonduel and Amherst.

Aquinas (5-1, 3-1; D4 #9) at Arcadia (5-1, 3-1; D5 #9) - Ranked ninth in their respective divisions, the only loss for each of these teams has come against West Salem. Arcadia is one of the more improved clubs in recent years, though they’re still looking for their first postseason win since 2019. Winning this one would be a big boon to their seeding come playoff time.

Regis (5-1, 3-1; D6 #6) at Mondovi (5-1, 3-1; D6 #5) - A couple of really good teams in Division 6 that have picked up tough losses in September. Both have spent time at number one in the D6 Coaches Poll, and are certainly familiar with each other. Last year, the teams split, with Regis winning a close one in the regular season before Mondovi scored a 35-28 win in a sectional final.

Spring Valley (4-2, 3-1; UR) at Glenwood City (6-0, 4-0; D7 #2) - Glenwood City has moved up to number two in the Division 7 Coaches Poll, and this week get one of the other top contenders in the Dunn-St. Croix Conference. Spring Valley is coming off a hard-fought loss to Boyceville.

River Falls (3-3, 3-1; UR) at Hudson (5-1, 3-1; D1 #10) - This marks the 120th meeting between these Big Rivers foes, with River Falls holding a 65-42-3 lead that dates back to 1895.

Rhinelander (4-2, 2-2; UR) at Merrill (4-2, 3-1; UR), 1:30 pm - These northwoods rivals have played 101 previous times, with Merrill holding a 53-46-2 advantage all-time.
