2ND HALF STAMPEDE: Mondovi scores 35 points in last two quarters, advances to state finals
WAUPACA — Cameron Gruber sprinted onto the field first, pumping his arms and firing up the Mondovi crowd before the start of the second half. Gruber couldn’t wait for play to resume. And he showed precisely why. Gruber scored three of his five touchdowns in the third quarter, including an incredible 30-yard TD catch on a fourth and 23 pass from quarterback Bode Falkner. Gruber's array of spectacular plays sparked Mondovi to a 56-27 Division 6 state semifinal football win over Kenosha St. Joseph on Friday night at Comet Field. "I came in here focused and ready to go," Gruber said. "I gave it my all for my teammates. It was 21-21 at the half, but we knew we could do this. I was determined to go out there and have some fun. Everyone stepped up. "This is an awesome feeling to win this. It was a total team effort." The Buffaloes advance to their third state championship game after runner-up finishes in 1990 and 2022. Mondovi (12-1) advances to face Lomira in the state championship game at 1 p.m. Thursday at Camp Randall Stadium in Madison. "It was an incredible performance by our kids," Buffaloes coach Craig Loscheider said.
