Kimberly High School Athletics comes with high expectations. The great tradition
and pride of the Kimberly community and athletics is nearly tangible. One of the first
lessons our athletes get is not to try to live up to expectations but rather work as
hard as possible to achieve the goals set and the rest will take care of itself.
Twenty-four sports are offered by our high school with four of those being co-op
situations that allow for more opportunity for participants in those sports . We are
grateful for all of the opportunities are kids are offered and are fortunate to have
such a caring, experienced, devoted coaching staff.
Our student-athletes strive for excellence both in and out of the classroom. We work
hard to provide opportunities for these student-athletes to maximize their potential in
each sport, promote athletes to play multiple sports, value the concept of teamwork
by being a valuable team member and teammate, learn to prioritize within their life,
live a healthy life by making good choices about what they put into their bodies as
well as how they condition and build/maintain strength, and deal with the various
adversities that come throughout any challenging task.
Our programs and teams compete at the highest level in the state and are coached
by some of the finest coaches in our great state.

Overall Franchise Record: 43-22
NEFL All-time Record: 26-18
All-time vs. Force: 1-1
The Eau Claire Crush is the Chippewa Valley’s
premier adult amateur football 501(c)(3)
nonprofit organization.
The organization started in 2006, when a group
of outstanding citizens came together with a
single idea to provide the Chippewa Valley
with quality entertainment at an affordable
price, while simultaneously giving back to the
communities that have lovingly supported them.
The Eau Claire Crush entered their inaugural
season in 2007 as a member of the Great Plains
Football League (GPFL). They ended that
season as the Eastern Conference Champions
and runner-up to the GPFL championship.
In 2008, the Crush joined with seven other teams
to create the Northern Elite Football League
(NEFL). The NEFL is a non-profit organization
formed to help promote adult amateur football
and commitment to the community, while giving every team in the league an equal vote
in operating the league.
NEFL TEAMS
In 2009, the NEFL expanded by two teams in the off-season, causing the league to
restructure by moving the Crush to the Western conference. New Head Coach Todd
Trapp led the Crush to a 6-2 season, second only to their cross-town rival, the Chippewa

The Pioneers are a

Pioneers believe in
hardwork, integrity,
dignity, community
involvement and representing St. Paul
and its surrounding
communities.
The Pioneers are
made up of teachers,
financial consultants,
welders, police officers, writers, IT personnel, mail carriers, printers and much
more! The Pioneers blend into the fabric of their community simply becuase they
live in the community — they just love the game of football. Their only compensation is the enjoyment of playing hard and building long-lasting relationships.
NEFL TEAMS
The St. Paul Pioneers first took the field in 2002, playing most of its games at
Augsburg College in Minneapolis, Minn. In 2004, the Pioneers called Highland
Park High school their home. Under new ownership in 2005, the team moved

Overall Franchise Record: 92-35

All-time vs. Force: 4-0
As the Predators enter their
twelfth season of competition,
it’s clear from the start that the
goal for one of Wisconsin’s longest-tenured amateur football
organizations is nothing short
of a championship.
The last two seasons have
ended at the hands of the eventual champions, the St. Paul
Pioneers, in the postseason at
Carson Park. Head Coach Martin Adams said that the team
has one goal this year—“Win
Elite Bowl V.”
Last year, the Predators lost their opener to the Minnesota Dragons before winning
eight straight games, including a trio of victories over their in-city rivals, the Eau Claire
Crush (a team they haven’t lost to since 2008). In Elite Bowl IV, they were shut out for
the first time since 2006, a stretch of over five years, by the Pioneers, 15-0.
The Predators will play at Carson Park eight times this season, including their seasonopening scrimmage against the River City Rough Riders on April 14. Adams describes
Carson Park as “the most electric home venue in the league.”

who has just
joined the NEFL
in 2011 and entering in to our
second season.
During
2011,
we learned the
difference between the NAFL (previous league) and the NEFL. That is, you cannot take one play off
in this league or else you find yourself playing catch up.
NEFL TEAMS
In 2012 there will definitely be a better mind set. We will miss playing in the NAFL
but we feel like this will be a better opportunity for our team as well as improving the
NEFL. We have a team that is made up of a group of 18-40 year-old men with a desire
to play for the love of the game. The goal for the ownership and staff is to have these
players move on to play at another level or maybe receive coaching positions as well.
The Rough Riders are happy to announce that they will play their third season at the
University of Wisconsin-La Crosse stadium.
Our name is River City but we are based in La Crosse. We get the name River City
from the wide range of players that we have from the surrounding areas of La Crosse,
Wis. Football in the spring and summer has been great for our family orientated organization. As we continue to grow within the area, we look forward to working with
area schools, charities and organizations with donation of revenue, volunteering and
awareness.

moved into the Central Division with the Chippewa Valley Predators, Eau Claire Crush,
and the Menomonie Thunderhawks.
The defense in 2012 has a new twist to it with the addition of a new Head Coach and
defensive coordinator Mike Williams. The Rage look to use their depth at linebacker to
give opposing teams multiple looks, and with a large number of new players, look for the
Rage to be very fast and hard hitting in the front seven. The defense returns 7 major

the final regular season conference game.

Mid-States Football Team

STADIUM
CITY,STATE
Overall Franchise Record: 112-31-1
Ten years, Three championships,
Never a losing season, and a
strong reputation.
That’s the resume that has been
crafted by the Roscoe Rush from
the very first season (2003) and
continues through 2012. The
Rush won back-to-back MidStates League Championship in
2010 and 2011. They also vied
for back-to-back national Championship held in Homestead,
Florida.
Starting in late 2002, co-owners Brian Kelly and Rob Feltner decided to break away from
the fray and use their football heritage as a way to bring their brand of football to the
Northern Illinois area. Both grew up in the storied Belvidere tradition. Kelly and Feltner
built a strong team from scratch in 2003 called the Belvidere Rush that fired up the gridiron ghosts and an All-American town that loves Football.
MSFL TEAMS
Answering the call in that inaugural season, the Rush posted an a 10-3 overall record to
wind up the Chicago Metro Football League runner-up. The following year (2004), the
Rush met destiny by winning the CMFL championship, defeating the IL Firehawks, 36-0.
The Rush has an overall record of 112-31-1 overall record. They claimed three league
championships in five appearances. They have 10 consecutive playoff appearances.
In the topsy-turvy world of minor league football, it’s impressive that the squad has only
ever had two head coaches. That doesn’t just translate to great records, but an element
of stability. It’s a program that fans and players can count on. Lloyd Meyers (30-10-1)
held the reins from 2003-2005, while Bill Kalas is set to begin his eighth campaign. Each
year they have lent a helping hand in the community, to such causes as Youth football
camps, Wounded Warrior Project, Relay For Life, Operation Support Our Troops Illinois
and most recently, The Shriner’s Children’s Hospital.
