The New Lisbon Rockets have been selected as the Week 6 WSN Team of the Week following a statewide vote on WisSports.net. The Rockets shocked undefeated Scenic Bluffs rival Necedah 23-20 Friday night. New Lisbon was selected from a very strong group of nominees. The Rockets received 36% of the vote, edging runner-up Colby who received 33%.

The Rockets entered Friday's showdown with undefeated and 8th-ranked Necedah at just 1-4 and 0-3 in the Scenic Bluffs conference, having lost four games in a row since an opening week victory over winless Kickapoo/La Farge. The makings of a mismatch right? Well, someone forgot to tell the Rockets, scored 15 fourth quarter points to shock the Cardinals 23-20. Quarterback Matt Spaniol scored on a one yard run and then hooked up with Elliott Bunker from 12 yards out to provide the winning score.

Remember folks, the only way your favorite team can be named WSN Team of the Week is to vote, vote, vote. Look for the Week 7 nominees to be posted Monday afternoon.
