Proper Preseason Preparation
 Potentially Precedes Playoff Perfection

In their quest for success in the 2010 season, the Timberjacks are lining up some quality competition.  In three preseason games, the Timberjacks will be working to practice playing on the road, facing champions, and facing strong passing games.

First, with games on the road to Wisconsin Dells and Wales, the Timberjacks face the Roscoe Rush and Kilbourne City Hawks.  The Roscoe Rush, formerly of the IFL, were a courted strongly in the offseason by other leagues after leaving the IFL.  A storied franchise with a strong track record for success, the Rush are sure to provide playoff level competition.

This past weekend, the Timberjacks secured a home game with the Racine Threat, the current Mid States Football League champion, with a very strong passing game, running game, and defense.  The Racine threat will certainly bring championship caliber competition to help the Timberjacks prepare for the toughest games.  This game is scheduled for July 24th, 4:00pm at Bulldog Stadium in Peshtigo.

Timberjacks Well Represented on
First Ever All-Wisconsin Team

The first ever WiSemiPro.com All-Wisconsin team was selected by panel of judges, one from each league state league (WSFL, IFL, NEFL, MSFL) and one WiSemiPro.com editor.  Nominations for the All-Wisconsin team were submitted by Owners and GMs of each team in a Wisconsin based league with supporting statistics and intangible support.  Each candidate was anonymously submitted to the judges to remove any possibility of league or team bias.

The judges have voted, and they have determined that the Timberjacks have 7 players worthy of the statewide honor, or 10.6% of the overall positions.  Mike Hansen earned the distinct honor of being the only two position player on All-Wisconsin team, earning honors at both RB and LB.
