Matthew Potter then ran it in for the score with just 2:10 remaining.The second-seeded Hawks will face top-seeded Lodi next Friday in a third-round matchup.Winneconne 0 0 0 3 - 3Xavier 0 0 7 7 - 14SCORING PLAYSThird QuarterX - Tyler Brightman 29 pass from Reid Hietpas (AJ Seidler kick), 8:29Fourth QuarterW - Mason Dorn 23 field goal, 11:00X - Matthew Potter 3 run (Seidler kick), 2:10INDIVIDUAL LEADERSRushing: W - Ethan Mathe 18-60, Brady Immel 10-12.X - Hietpas 18-71, Potter 14-40, Isaiah Des Jardins 8-21.Passing: W - Immel 9-23-2-79.X - Hietpas 2-6-0-53.Receiving: W - Brody Schaffer 4-29, Ayden Loukidis 2-22; X - Brightman 1-29, Des Jardins 1-24.Division 5Wrightstown 21, Southern Door 6BRUSSELS – The Tigers advance to the state quarterfinals behind a strong defense that held Southern Door scoreless until the final minute of the game.The Tigers (9-2) recovered a Southern Door fumble off a punt return late in the first half.Aiden Humphreys’ 2-yard touchdown run gave Wrightstown a 7-0 lead heading into the break.Daniel Buntin added a 3-yard score in the third quarter with Landon Helphrey scoring from 2 yards out in the fourth.Drew Daoust had a 10-yard touchdown run for Southern Door’s lone score inside the final minute of regulation.Wrightstown plays at Wittenberg-Birnamwood next Friday.Next Friday's quarterfinal gamesDivision 1Neenah at KimberlyFond du Lac at Marquette UniversityDivision 2Cedarburg at KaukaunaDivision 3Notre Dame at Mount Horeb/BarneveldMenasha at GraftonDivision 4Xavier at LodiLuxemburg-Casco at Two RiversDivision 5Wrightstown at Wittenberg-BirnamwoodDivision 6St.Mary’s Springs at KewauneeSecond-round football scores: Wisconsin high school football schedule and scores for the second round of the 2023 playoffsSaturday's scheduleBOYS VOLLEYBALLSECTIONAL FINALAppleton North at Kimberly, 4:30 p.m.GIRLS VOLLEYBALLSECTIONAL FINALSDivision 1Appleton North vs. Bay Port at Kimberly, 7 p.m.Division 2Waupaca vs.Rice Lake at Merrill, 4 p.m.Xavier vs.Kettle Moraine Lutheran at Wrightstown, 4 p.m.Division 3St.Mary Catholic vs.Marshall at HartfordBOYS SOCCERSECTIONAL FINALSDivision 1De Pere vs. Hudson at Kaukauna, 4 p.m.Division 2West De Pere vs.West Bend West at Oshkosh North, 1 p.m.Division 3Plymouth at Green Bay Notre Dame, 1 p.m.Division 4Xavier at St.Mary Catholic, 4 p.m.FacebookTwitterEmail
