MADISON, Wis. (AP) - Edgar claimed its first state football championship since 2001,

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

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.
