MADISON, Wis. (AP) - Edgar claimed its first state football championship since 2001, beating Eau Claire Regis 46-7 in the WIAA Division 6 state final Thursday at Camp Randall Stadium.

Senior quarterback Justin Sinz passed for 179 yards and three touchdowns, helping the Wildcats finish 14-0.

The Ramblers finished 12-2. They came within moments of being shut out Thursday, but senior quarterback Hayden Hougen scored on a 1-yard plunge with 5 seconds left.

Sinz threw TD passes on two of Edgar's first three plays of the second half. One was a 59-yard toss to senior Derek Durkee. The other was a 42-yard strike to junior Dakota Heidmann.

The Wildcats outscored opponents 651-20 on the season, including 212-14 in five playoff games. They also recorded shutouts in 11 of their 14 games.
