It's early in the Winter season for high school sports but we've already seen some teams make an early statement on the young season.

Another big shout out to Rock Valley College for sponsoring this winter long contest.

Each weekend through the winter season we will be taking nominations for the team of the week. You can nominate a team from Friday afternoon till Sunday night. Every Monday we will gather up the nominations and then put it up to a vote on the 1440wrok.com website.

The winning team will be announced during the morning show on WROK with RIley and Joe and receive a $100 Visa card for their program. At the end of the season, all weekly winners will go up against each other to be named Team of the Season and receive a $500 Visa card for their program.

Here are this week's finalists:

  • Boylan Boy's Varsity Basketball - The Titans are back in the hunt for team of the week after another strong undefeated week that included a thrilling victory over East on Friday night. The NIC-10 boy's basketball season is going to be a gauntlet and the Titans are the only ones with an unblemished record.
  • Freeport Wrestling - The Pretzels had a strong showing at East's Giaridini Invitational placeing 3rd out of 19 teams with Cadence Diduch leading the way. Diduch beat out all her male competitors to win the 120lb class.
  • Harlem Boy's Swimming - The Huskies had a strong day in the pool at the Logterman Memorial Invitational over the weekend with Harlem's Jeremy Mueller being the brightest star in the pool. Jeremy won the 200 Freestyle and the 100 Freestyle. All 4 of his races were school records and was named Athlete of the Meet.
