Max Alba, Franklin. The junior quarterback completed 14 of 22 passes for 296 yards and four touchdowns as he led the Sabers to the Division 1 state-championship game, 35-14 over Lake Geneva Badget.

Jaylen Campbell, Catholic Memorial. The Crusaders' two-way staple rushed 21 times for 132 yards and four touchdowns, helping CMH to a lopsided 30-7 victory over Pewaukee.

Max Cooper, Catholic Memorial. As always, Memorial made its living running the ball but still had the big-play threat in the passing game. Cooper caught six passes for 117 yards.

Jake Graf, Brookfield East. The quarterback completed four of five passes for 57 yards but had a bigger day running the ball, taking it 15 times for 171 yards in a huge victory for the Spartans against Menomonie, 21-13.

Kyle Lewis, Franklin. The receiver caught three passes and took them all to the house, with 112 yards of total receiving as he continued a tremendous late season surge.

Sam Santiago-Lloyd, Brookfield East. The workhorse running back rushed 30 times for 155 yards and three touchdowns and helped Brookfield East achieve something it had never done before, a Level 4 victory. East will meet Monona Grove for the Division 2 state championship next week. He also caught one pass for another 23 yards.

Ethan Wittenburg, Franklin. Wittenburg caught five passes for 113 yards and a score as the Sabers reached the Division 1 state-title game against Kimberly.

Bradley Woldt, Homestead. Woldt was again in the unfamiliar quarterback spot with Eric Zoeller injured, and he completed two passes, but he did the majority of his work in a 27-rush, 130-yard performance with one score. Homestead fell to Monona Grove, 35-6.
