8/29/25 8-Player Football: McDonell 66, Clayton 0

Luke Andersen's 70-yard TD return on the opening kickoff set the tone early and the Macks(2-0, 1-0) never looked back on their way to a 66-0 rout of visiting Clayton(1-1, 0-1).

WOGO "Radioactive Award" Watch: Senior RB's Dawson Moulton and Eli Stepp again put on an impressive show. Moulton ran for 146 yards and two TD's on just five carries, while Stepp also ran for 70 yards and two TD's on just three carries.

8/28/25 Football: Chi-Hi 33, Eau Claire Memorial 6

At home for the first time in 2025, the Chippewa Falls Cardinals (1-0, 0-0 Big Rivers Conference) leaned heavily on their rushing attack and overcame multiple first half turnovers to earn their first victory of the season.

After the Old Abes (0-2, 0-0 Wisconsin Valley Conference), tied the game at six in the first quarter, the Cards went on a 27-0 run for the rest of the contest and rolled to victory.

WOGO "RadioActive" Award Watch:
Junior Gavin Shilts scored twice, while fellow junior Tyler Behnke ran hard and earned a tally as well. Senior Jaylyn Smith electrified the crowd with a 91-yard kickoff return touchdown, while also contributing in the backfield and secondary.

Led by 13 fired-up Seniors the Macks(1-0) led 20-0 after the 1st quarter and 47-8 at the half on their way to 59-24 defeat of visiting Alma Center Lincoln(0-1).

Senior RB's Dawson Moulton and Eli Stepp led the way scoring a combined 7TDs while running for a combined 233 yards on 24 carries all in the 1st half. The Macks starting D was also in constant pursuit of Hornets QB, Adam Massman, while also completely bottling up their few running attempts.

WOGO "Radioactive Award" Watch: Senior RB's Dawson Moulton and Eli Stepp shone most brightly in the Macks big, season-opening win, and they did it all in the 1st half.
