- Noah Eckleburg, Columbus Catholic Track (nominated online) – Eckleburg is on pace for a remarkable season in track, competing in four wheelchair events for the Dons. Although official state track records can only be marked at the state meet, Eckelburg is on pace to shatter multiple records.

- Thomas Hunt, Almond-Bancroft Baseball (nominated online) – Hunt hurled a perfect game for the Eagles in their 16-0 shutout of Wild Rose, striking out 12 batters in the abbreviated 5 inning game. Hunt also was a key player at the plate, picking up 2 hits, 2 walks, scored 4 runs and had an RBI.
- Braelon Allen / Kyle Walljasper, Fond du Lac Football – The backfield duo had a night for the ages Friday evening, combining for 590 yards rushing as #1 ranked Fond du Lac outgunned #2 Kimberly in Week 7 of the alternate football season. In the 71-48 win, Walljasper piled up 320 yards on 16 carries, scoring five touchdowns and throwing for another. Allen added 270 yards on just 12 carries, hitting paydirt four times.
- Logan Schulfer, SPASH Baseball – Schulfer turned in a complete game wonder, surrendering just one hit and walking 3 while striking out 13 as part of a SPASH doubleheader sweep of Wausau West.
