Update: The win also clinched the Woodland East title for South Milwaukee … and set up a showdown with undefeated Greendale for the inaugural conference title game on Oct. 18.
From the start, this one wasn’t much of a contest.
Ian Pribyl had five — five! — first-half touchdowns and finished with 164 yards on 13 carries to lead South Milwaukee past St. Francis, 42-13, Friday night and stay unbeaten at 7-0.

I was there for the first couple quarters — did some campaigning beforehand — and it was an impressive performance on both sides of the ball. If the Rockets can play like that, they will make some serious noise in the WIAA playoffs, which begin October 25-26.
Next up, however: Pewaukee for Homecoming week. Gametime is 7 p.m. on Friday. Vote here to make it WISN’s Operation Football Game of the Week — and help it close the huge gap with the clubhouse leader (Franklin and Kenosha Indian Trail).
One other note: Please keep St. Francis receiver Brady Wieland in your prayers. Friday, he took a big hit on a pass over the middle in the second quarter and laid motionless on the field for more than 10 minutes before being taken to the hospital. It was a stark reminder about how dangerous this game can be.
