Ripon Tigers capture their 2nd title in 3 years, beating the West Salem Panthers 21-16.

Ripon's steady ground attack proves too much for West Salem, as the Tigers run for 217 yards while converting 10 of 15 3rd downs. John Pimental leads with 112 yards rushing and a 4-yard TD that lifts Ripon to a 21-9 lead w/ 3:41 to play.

The Tigers built a 14-3 lead at the half on a pair of TD runs by QB Scott Gillespie. However, West Salem gets back into the game with a 17-play, 83-yard drive before Adam Spehn's 3-yard TD run w/ :07 left in the 3rd quarter.

Ripon's knock out blow comes after Gillespie hits James Hron for a 29-yard pass on 4th-and-11, setting up Pimental's TD run.

Ripon includes RB Isaac Minor (Cornell).
