The march to Camp Randall Stadium and the dream of playing for a state title is alive for three Wisconsin Badgers commits, while the run by arguably the most entertaining player in the WIAA playoffs came to an end Friday evening.
2014 commits George Panos, Jaden Gault and Billy Hirschfeld all advanced to the state final games in their divisions, while Mukwonago's Dominic Cizauskas and the Indians' season fell short against Franklin High School.

Panos and Hirschfeld led Arrowhead to a Level 4 38-14 victory over Hudson in Stevens Point to earn another trip to Madison. The Warhawks hope to earn their second straight state championship at the Division 1 level, and their third since 2007, as they face the Franklin Sabers.

Dominic Cizauskas, Mukwonago (Mukwonago)
Mukwonago faced a high-powered offense in Franklin, with Western Illinois commit Sean McGuire leading the Sabers to a 35-8 victory to face Arrowhead for the Division 1 championship next week. McGuire threw for three touchdowns and 172 yards, but Franklin's defense shut down Cizauskas, who had scored three touchdowns in each of the two previous playoff games. The Wisconsin commit did rush for 67 yards on nine carries.
