HS Football Preview –2024 Ripon Tigers
1 year
Ripon Tigers
2023 Record: 0-9 (0-7 East Central Conference)
Head Coach: Andrew Selgrad
Mike’s 2024 Projected Record 4-5 (2-5 South Central Conference)
Players to Watch: QB/LB Parker Webb RB/DB Parker Stellmacher RB/LB Jordan Perkins WR/DB Declan Dudzinski
Team Preview: Everything that could go wrong did go wrong a season ago for the Ripon Tigers. They had a coaching change a week into practices and everything went down from there. There is plenty of optimism for this team however as they turn to State Championship head coach Andrew Selgrad. Selgrad comes over from Columbus where he led the Cardinals to a State Championship. Most of last year’s team returns as well led by quarterback Parker Webb who threw for 450 yards and 5 touchdowns last year. Webb will have his favorite target Declan Dudzinski (11-239 2tds) to throw to. The running game was a struggle for the Tigers last year but they welcome back its top two runners Parker Stellmacher and Jordan Perkins from last season.
Key to Success: Adjusting to Selgrad. Selgrad has a great pedigree coming in. It will take some time for the team to learn Selgrads system and adjusting to his coaching style but this team has a chance to succeed sooner than later with him at the helm.
Game to watch: Week 3 Friday September 6th home vs Adams-Friendship 7pm
South Central newcomer Ripon vs last year’s South Central Conference champion Green Devils will be an interesting matchup and I see Ripon pulling off an upset.

HS Football Preview –2024 Berlin Indians
1 year
Berlin Indians
2023 Record: 7-3 (5-2 East Central Conference)
Head Coach: Joe Stellmacher
Mike’s 2024 Projected Record 8-1 (7-0 South Central Conference)
Players to Watch: RB/DB Carter Hess OL/DL/RB Jakob Martin RB/LB Luke Budde TE/LB Aaron Bartol TE/DE Hayden Redington RB/LB Max Sonnentag
Team Preview: Led by former Wisconsin Badger defensive back Joe Stellmacher the Berlin Indians bring a proud tradition into the South Central Conference. They finished 3rd a season ago in a very tough East Central Conference. Berlin does lose a good amount from that team including their quarterback and top running back. They do welcome back Carter Hess who ran for 663 yards and 7 touchdowns last year. Jacob Martin who served time as both an offensive linemen and running back also returns after scoring 7 touchdowns last year. 6’4 TE Aaron Bartol is also back after leading the team in receiving (29-446 6tds) last year. Berlin also has a lot of size in the trenches. Martin led the team in sacks with 4 last year is back to anchor a good defense. Luke Budde is the top returning tackler (57tackles) from last year for the Indians. Moving into a new conference I believe will help Berlin in a big way and I see them winning the SCC in their inaugural year.
Key to Success: Replacing the QB. Parker Hess threw for nearly 1,000 yards a season ago has departed due to graduation. Kannon Belter is the only other player listed at QB from last year. They have size and a good running back in Carter Hess if they can find a quarterback to player stellar for Stellmacher this team could be incredibly dangerous this season.
Game to watch: Week 2 Friday August 30th at Kiel
This is a bigtime non-conference matchup between two playoff teams from last season.
