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.


WOGO "RadioActive" Award Watch:
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.


WOGO "RadioActive" Award Watch:
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.

                                                              Chippewa Valley This Week




          Again this year WWIB and WOGO are trying to raise as much support as possible for backpack and school supply distributions both in the Chippewa Valley and in Liberia, West Africa. We hear from  We Care Eau Claire Volunteer Coordinator, Julie Smith; Valley Vineyard Church Pastors, Mike and Trisha Houle; and Teamwork Africa Executive Director, Peggy Halvorsen. The $6300 from our generous business sponsors, and all the money raised through Friday from our listeners, is divided evenly among these three organizations to provide for backpacks, school supplies, and even the necessary black dress shoes as well in Liberia.
