Carter Drews, so., Cambria-Friesland
Drews
Sport: Football.
By the numbers: He’s completed 17 of 33 passes for 362 yards and four touchdowns. He’s ran for 355 yards and a touchdown. On defense, he’s got 63 total tackles, four for loss and one sack. He also has one interception.
Favorite athletic memory: My game against Deerfield my freshman year because I was a first-time quarterback and I also returned a kickoff for a touchdown.
Favorite class: Gym class, because I can have fun as well as playing sports.
Favorite place to compete: Home field, too see all the familiar faces and the field I’m comfortable to play on is just a good feeling, especially when I see the scoreboard in our favor.
Quotable: “Carter is the Swiss Army Knife of Hilltopper football,” Cambria-Friesland coach Jim Bylsma said. “He blocks like a lineman, runs like a power back, throws like a mobile quarterback. Defensively, he’s as adept at stuffing the run as he is dropping into coverage. Has played multiple positions on kicking and return teams. All of this is testament to his attitude, desire, and coachability.”

A pair of teams earned No. 1 seeds with potential rematches and playoff rivalries aligning.
Columbus, Lodi and Reedsburg hold true for a second straight week in the Medium Division of the AP’s state rankings.
Playoff bids are on the line for area teams, with several surging at the right time in hopes to secure their spot.
The Beavers were no match for the Vikings’ best shot as key injuries and an early hole sent Reedsburg limping into the postseason with a 24-6 defeat.
Dwindling numbers mixed with an opportunity to preserve history has led schools to choose eight-player football rather than none at all.
The junior tight end recovered a fumble and carried it in for go-ahead score to beat Fall River/Rio.
Growth has come in many ways for three area teams, including through hard-fought victories, a cohesive offensive line and an underclassmen heavy group shining while taking some lumps.
The Beavers turned three takeaways in the third quarter into 21 points to race past the Thunderbirds in the 135th rendition of the state’s oldest rivalry.
Columbus, Lodi and Reedsburg earn voters’ support in the Medium Division of the AP’s state rankings.
