The high school football season in Wisconsin came to a close over the weekend. Franklin was among the victors with a 38-17 win over Sun Prairie in the Division 1 championship game. That helped propel the Sabers to the No. 1 ranking in the final Wisconsin MaxPreps Top 25.

MaxPreps Wisconsin Player of the Year Myles Burkett threw for 276 yards and three touchdowns to lead Franklin (14-0) past Sun Prairie in the title tilt. Burkett threw for over 3,400 yards and 36 scores on the season.
