OSHKOSH, Wis.- Mark your calendars for Sunday, June 25, as UW-Oshkosh eagerly awaits the arrival of the first Wisconsin Football 7-on-7 State Championship, proudly sponsored by Ripon Athletics and BSN.

Head football coach Peter Jennings is thrilled to offer Wisconsin high school football players an exceptional platform to showcase their talents. "We're really excited about making this Championship the ultimate high school football event in Wisconsin. You can't ask for better scenery than Oshkosh in June and we can't wait to give players the awesome opportunity to compete against the best of the best in the state."

The first ever 7-on-7 State Championship will be divided in four divisions by the size of the school. Teams from as far as Stanley-Boyd and Rhinelander will travel to compete, joined by powerhouses such as Arrowhead and Marquette. The tournament will feature new rules such as the option for the running back to carry the rock as well as modified fields to accommodate eight-man teams. Each team will be guaranteed three games and trophies will be presented to the winner for each division.

"The community is buzzing with excitement; we are grateful to have players and coaching staff happy to help ref the games, along with sponsors and food trucks all looking to get involved with this special day for Wisconsin High School Football," exclaimed Jennings.

The tournament kicks off at 9 a.m. with teams competing to decide eventual bracket seeding. While one division is full, spots for $200 a team are still available at the signup link found here.
