Rankings Overview
The newest Wisconsin high school football poll places Arrowhead at the summit, a position the team has held since the season's opening weeks after a decisive 35-7 victory over Neenah. Arrowhead, the defending WIAA Division 1 champion, continues to showcase its dominance, highlighted by Jebari Craig's 186 rushing yards and three touchdowns in that contest.
Not far behind, De Pere has vaulted from outside the top 25 to No.10, propelled by two commanding wins that totaled 70 points while allowing just 14. Quarterback Ryland Nowak contributed 169 passing yards and three touchdowns, underscoring the team's rapid ascent.
Sussex Hamilton also made a notable jump, climbing five spots to No.6 after a 52-32 triumph over Racine Case. The win featured Cole Erdmann's 299-yard performance and four touchdown passes, while Racine Case slipped from No.5 to No.23 following the loss.
Other movements in the rankings include Winneconne's rise of nine places to No.15 after a 42-0 shutout, and Port Washington's debut at No.16 following a 36-14 win over Mount Horeb-Barneveld, signaling a fresh wave of contenders.
The schedule also sets up a highly anticipated September 3 showdown between Arrowhead and No.4 Catholic Memorial at Carroll University's Schneider Stadium, a matchup that could further reshape the upper echelon of the poll.
Overall, the early season has proven unpredictable, with traditional powerhouses like Catholic Memorial and West De Pere also staking claims in the top five, promising continued drama as the campaign unfolds.
