Madison, WI - March 1, 2026 - A busy weekend of high school athletics in the Madison area saw dominant performances in volleyball alongside some surprising results on the football field. Sun Prairie High School's volleyball team continued its impressive run, while Oregon pulled off a notable victory in football over a traditionally strong Sun Prairie squad.

Volleyball: Sun Prairie Sets the Pace

The Sun Prairie volleyball team showcased its prowess with a convincing sweep of Verona on Saturday. The Cardinals dominated in all three sets, winning 25-14, 25-17, and 25-10. This victory reinforces Sun Prairie's position as a team to watch in the upcoming state tournament.

Coach Emily Carter noted after the match that the team's focus on teamwork and minimizing unforced errors was key to their success. The Cardinals appear to be peaking at the right time, with several players demonstrating exceptional form. Experts predict they will be strong contenders for the sectional title.

Beyond Sun Prairie's dominant performance, Edgewood High School secured a hard-fought victory over Oregon in a thrilling three-set match. The Crusaders edged out Oregon 25-23 in the first set, lost a close second set 23-25, and ultimately prevailed 25-21 in the decisive third set. This match highlighted Edgewood's resilience and ability to perform under pressure.

The overall strength of volleyball competition appears high across the region, indicating a competitive playoff landscape is taking shape.

Football: Oregon Stuns Sun Prairie

In a significant upset, the Oregon High School football team defeated Sun Prairie 35-21. This result is particularly noteworthy given Sun Prairie's history of success in the conference and their consistently high ranking.
