KEWAUNEE — It will be a familiar setting for the Kewaunee football team on Saturday.

Not only will the Indians (12-0) be playing in their sixth state semifinal game in 10 years when they face Maple Northwestern (12-0) at 4 p.m., they will be doing so on a field on which they are undefeated when a trip to Camp Randall Stadium in Madison is on the line.

Kewaunee is 3-2 in semifinal games this decade, and all three wins took place at Stiehm Stadium, the site for its contest against the Tigers, who are making their first appearance in the semifinals since 1998.

"We've had a lot of success there," Kewaunee coach Kurt Flaten said.

"From that point of view, it's kind of exciting to be back there. It almost feels like a home away from home for us."

D.C. Everest's Stiehm Stadium in Weston was the location of the Indians' semifinal victories in 2001, 2006 and 2007.

In each of those games, Kewaunee faced a team that plays in the Heart O'North Conference. Maple Northwestern won that league this season by beating all of its conference foes by 27 points or more.

Unlike most of the elements for Saturday's game, the Tigers are largely an unknown commodity to the Indians.

"The one thing you don't know is what kind of adjustments they're going make to get after us," Flaten said. "When we play a conference team … we have a pretty good idea of what type of adjustments they're going to make to attack our scheme. At this stage in the playoffs, you don't know that because there's not that familiarity."

Flaten said from what he has seen on film, Maple Northwestern is a "big, physical team."

Including the playoffs, the Tigers are averaging 40.6 points per game and allowing only 8.8. The most points they have given up in a game is 16 while they have scored 35 points or more in 10 games.

Kewaunee is averaging 38.6 points per game and giving up only 7.3. The most points it has surrendered is 20, while it has scored 34 points or more 10 times.

Maple Northwestern is coming off its closest game of the season, a 21-14 win in the quarterfinal over Somerset in which they racked up 294 rushing yards on 57 carries.

The Tigers have relied mostly on the running duo of Kevin Derick and Ryan Miesbauer, who have combined to rush for more than 2,500 yards behind an offensive line that features Donnie Hissa, a 6-foot-7, 235-pounder who signed a letter of intent to play baseball for the University of Notre Dame.

Flaten said Maple Northwestern runs a version of the Wing-T offense similar to the one his team faced during its 25-14 quarterfinal win last Friday against Appleton Xavier.

"It really forced us to be a one-dimensional running team and probably gave us a lot of confidence that we can go out and win that style of ballgame if we have to," Flaten said about his team's 259 rushing yards against the Hawks.

The Indians have three running backs (Jerry Charles, Craig Christman and Alex Schleis) who each have totaled more than 700 yards on the ground.

Junior quarterback Doug Delebreau has thrown for 2,090 yards and 26 touchdowns, including 14 to tight end Mike Lux.
