It’s the start of another High School football season as the 2026 Campaign gets underway at Raider Stadium at 7pm. It’s a Non-Conference matchup as the Hudson Raiders from the Big Rivers Conference take on the Wisconsin Rapids Raiders from the Wisconsin Valley Conference. It will be the first time in 6 years that these two teams will play each other having met back in 2020 with Hudson pulling out a 33-14 win at Hudson. Wisconsin Rapids has had a tough go of it the last 2 seasons compiling a 1-17 record. Hudson is coming off an 8-3 2025 season that included a Level I playoff win before bowing out in Level II with a loss to Depere. Hudson Head Coach Adam Kowels is entering his 22nd season of coaching the Hudson Raiders in 2026.
