After going 9-0 through the 2021 regular season, the Cards kept their momentum rolling into the postseason as they reached Level 3 of the Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association’s football playoffs, but fell short against the Belleville Wildcats Nov. 5.

The Cards earned their first playoff victory in seven years with a round one shellacking of Watertown Luther Prep.  As the two seed, the Cardinals kept it rolling in round two when they dominated a conference opponent in Richland Center 42-3.
