The River Ridge Timberwolves have been selected as the Level 3 Bound Wisconsin Football Team of the Week following a statewide vote on BoundWisconsin.com. The team went on the road and rallied for a win over the top-ranked team in D7. The Timberwolves were chosen from a strong group of nominees in Level 3. A total of 6,336 votes were cast, as River Ridge’s 2,297 votes edged Racine Case’s 1,983 votes.
River Ridge trailed 21-13 heading into the fourth quarter, but rallied with a pair of touchdowns to take down top-ranked and previously undefeated Cochrane-Fountain City 25-21 on Friday night. The Timberwolves’ defense forced three turnovers and Noah Copsey ran for 150 yards and two touchdowns in the game. River Ridge is a win away from its first state title game appearance since 1997.
Remember folks, the only way your favorite team can be named Bound Wisconsin Team of the Week is to vote and share the word. Look for next week’s nominees to be posted Monday afternoon.
