The 2021 WIAA season has finally come to an end, with all four divisions crowning a state roughly two weeks ago in Appleton. After scavenging through statistics and digging up as much information as we can, we’ve started to designate our All-State team selections.

We heavily based the selection of the all-state team on statistical performance and took into account outside factors like strength of conference and competition, etc., and we landed on the names listed below representing all pockets and divisions from Wisconsin.

Our First Team All-State selections were delegated earlier and you can find that by clicking HERE. Today, we’ll roll out the Second Team All-State, with the third team set to follow shortly.
