Not since their state runner-up finish in 2005 has Wisconsin Rapids been this close to a trip to madison.

The Red Raiders will face Milwaukee Riverside in Oshkosh on Friday, the winner moves on to the D1 championship game.

Riverside, ranked 12th in division one, has speed at all the skill positions and are extremely quick on the edges. The Red Raiders will hope to use their big offensive lineman and their power running game to their advantage to combat that speed.
