Updated Wisconsin Power 25 Team Rankings
April 2, 2018
The week ahead may hold some inclimate weather in the forecast which could limit some action across the state, but here’s a couple match-ups to look forward to: On Wednesday, No. 22 Oshkosh West will attempt to continue their march through Power 25 teams as they take on No. 12 Hortonville. A win there could catapult the Wildcats way up the rankings.
The feature of the week probably comes on Saturday with a three-way round-robin doubleheader for No. 3 Kimberly, No. 6 Arrowhead, and No. 11 Wilmot all taking place at the Wilmot Sports Complex.
Also, this coming weekend kicks off the Woodside High School Challenge on April 6 and 7 where over 30 teams will play at the all-turf complex in Mauston. Both No. 4 Eau Claire Memorial and No. 18 Eau Claire North will be two of the featured teams from the Power 25.
