For 18 years, the Shiocton Gridiron Club has supported our middle and high school football programs, raising nearly $300,000 for field improvements, equipment, and safety upgrades. Our focus is now on our most crucial project yet: a new bleacher system.
Our current bleachers are old and do not comply with the Americans Disability Act (ADA). They also offer poor visibility due to low elevation and face the setting sun. The new bleachers will be elevated for a clear view, accessible for everyone, and face East. We hope to include a press box and storage too.
We've made significant progress, already raising $210,000 towards our $380,000 goal. We need just a bit more support to make this dream a reality, especially now that the track resurfacing eliminates the old practice of watching games from the track. Our goal is to have the new bleachers ready for the 2025 season.
Please help us close the gap! Any contribution to the Bleacher Fund is appreciated. As a thank you, your name or company name will be displayed on a sponsorship wall.
Your donation will provide a safe, accessible, and enjoyable viewing experience for our community for years to come! If you are interested in learning more, click the link below.

The Shiocton Chiefs football program did well over the course of the 2024 season. After a rough start, the varsity team clawed its way back and earned a spot in the playoff pool. After an upset win over Roncalli, the Chiefs made it to level II of the playoffs where their season was ended by the now state champions, Edgar. The varsity football program ended their season with a 4-7 record.

Captains during the season were seniors Isaiah Carton, Jordan Jahnke, Tristan Mueller, Logan Van Camp, Ben Kortens, Matthew Wilke, and Lucas Hofacker. These gentlemen helped lead the team to several victories on and off the field. The Shiocton Chiefs football program received great reviews on their grade and behavior reports, and also volunteered throughout the community and in the favorite Challenger Flag Football League.

We set very high standards and demanded a lot from our team. We chose to “pursue perfection” and, although we fell short of that goal, we did find success in the end. With that in mind, we look forward to improving on this pursuit of excellence in the future, and with the promising young group coming up we feel more is yet to come for this program!

Go Chiefs!
