OSHKOSH – Marshfield High School graduates Kody Wilson and Ryan Danczak, and Stratford High School grad Indy Spindler competed in the 2010 Wisconsin Football Coaches Association All-Star Games at Titan Stadium on Saturday.

Wilson, a defensive back, and Danczak, a wide receiver, competed for the North team in the Division 1-3 Large School game. The North beat the South 22-20 in overtime.

Danczak caught one pass for 17 yards for the North.

The teams combined for 468 yards rushing, led by Tomah’s Joel Sweeney, who had a game-high 96 yards and scored the touchdown on an 80-yard touchdown run in the first quarter for the North. Sweeney also scored what proved to be the game-winning points on a two-point conversion in overtime.

Brookfield Central’s Jeff Lewis, a University of Wisconsin recruit, rushed for 94 yards and Madison East’s Drew McAdams had 136 combined passing and rushing yards to lead the South.

Merrill’s Pascal Paul threw a 9-yard touchdown pass to Shane Rockweiler of Reedsburg to help the North build a 14-0 lead at halftime.

Lewis had a 76-yard touchdown run and McAdams threw a 19-yard scoring strike to Brookfield Central and future Badgers teammate Marquis Mason to tie the game for the South.

Green Bay Notre Dame’s David Ihlenfeldt scored on a 6-yard run and Sweeney converted the two-point conversion to give the North an eight-point lead in the overtime. The South responded with a 15-yard touchdown run by Menomonee Falls’ Cole Myhra, but the two-point conversion pass failed to end the game.

In the Division 4-7 Small School game, Spindler played defensive line for the North team, which lost 28-6.

The South converted three interceptions into touchdowns to cruise to the win.

Burlington Catholic Central quarterback Brian Fliess threw for a touchdown and ran for another, and Big Foot running back Mike Walker added a pair of rushing touchdowns for the South. Fliess led all rushers with 74 yards on 13 carries.

Chippewa Falls McDonell Central quarterback Andy Davis threw a 46-yard touchdown pass to Altoona’s Zach Honadel to account for the North’s lone score.

The games will be televised on FSN and FSN-HD on Saturday. The Division 1-3 game will air at noon, with the Division 4-7 game to follow at 2:30 p.m.
