9/4/26 Football: Chippewa Falls 44, Menomonie 7
In one of the state's longest-running rivalries, the Chippewa Falls Cardinals (3-0, 1-0 Big Rivers Conference) host Menomonie the conference opener, on a beautiful Veterans Night at Dorais Field.
The Mustangs (0-3, 0-1 BRC) moved the ball early, but hurt themselves with penalties and turnovers, before punching in a score as the clock expired to end the first half.
That would prove to be the only points of the night for the visitors, however, as the Cardinals' defense completely stifled the ground game and the Chi-Hi offense found its groove.
Senior Tyler Behnke tallied a hat trick of TDs on the night from the fullback position, also easily eclipsing the century mark in rushing yards.

8/27/26 Football: Chippewa Falls 42, Eau Claire Memorial 6
On the road against a longtime rival, the Chippewa Falls Cardinals (2-0, 0-0 Big Rivers Conference) looked to keep the momentum going after putting up 50 points in Week 1.
The Old Abes (0-2, 0-0 Wisconsin Valley Conference) struggled to move the ball for most of the night, as the Chi-Hi defense made life difficult, even as reserves started to filter into the game in the second half.
Offensively, despite a few drive-impairing penalties, the Cardinals' rushing game rolled once again, garnering 470+ yards on the ground for the second consecutive week.
Senior Gavin Shilts averaged over 22 yards per carry in an electric first half performance, including a 55-yard touchdown dash.

8/20/26 Football: Chippewa Falls 50, DC Everest 22
Ready to begin their 2026 campaign, the Chippewa Falls Cardinals (1-0, 0-0 Big Rivers Conference) opened up the year with a non-conference matchup, hoping to take their third in a row from DC Everest.
The Evergreens (0-1, 0-0 Wisconsin Valley Conference) garnered a turnover on the first play from scrimmage, but Chi-Hi answered with 25 straight points, setting the tone for the night.
Consistent defense that took advantage of miscues, strong play in the trenches, and a host of contributions from a backfield that rushed for well over 400 yards helped the Cards reach the half century mark in front of a jubilant home crowd at Dorais Field.
Senior Talen Shilts led the way on offense, rushing for 3 scores on the night, while junior Ryan Zenner was an absolute force on D.
