After pulling off a huge upset the previous Friday night in the first round of the WIAA D1 tournament, the Chippewa Falls Cardinals (5-6, 3-4 Big Rivers Conference) traveled all the way across the state for their first ever matchup against the Rockets (9-2, 5-2 Fox Valley Association) in a Level 2 tilt.
Neenah made two splash plays in the first quarter to take a 14-0 lead, and cruised to a 21-0 advantage at the break. In the second half, Chi-Hi's defense came alive, pitching a shutout for the final two quarters and forcing the game's only turnover, but offensively the Cards were never quite able to find their rhythm, as a fine 2023 season came to a close.

Facing the Big Rivers Conference champions in the first round of the WIAA D1 tournament, the Chippewa Falls Cardinals (5-5, 3-4 Big Rivers Conference) garnered an early turnover against the Raiders (8-2, 7-0 BRC) and turned it into a touchdown, before forcing a three and out on the next Hudson possession and promptly marching in for a 14-0 lead.

In a thrilling finish, the Raiders turned away a potential clock-killing drive from the Cards and drove down to the Chi-Hi 4-yard line with a chance to tie the game, before a magnificent defensive effort ended the Hudson season with a stunning upset, and vaulted the Cardinals into Level 2.
