Coach Stewart Helps Lead South to Comeback Win at WFCA All-Star Game


Pius XI Football Head Coach and Athletic Director Jesse Stewart represented the South squad as Offensive Coordinator at the 2026 Wisconsin Football Coaches Association (WFCA) Large School All-Star Game, held Saturday, July 18th, at Titan Stadium in Oshkosh.
Coach Stewart helped guide the South team to a thrilling 24-17 victory over the North, capping an exciting and hard-fought battle played in the heat — and under a haze from Canadian wildfire smoke that at some times blanketed the stadium. After trailing 17-7, South rallied to score the final 17 points of the game, completing the comeback in front of fans who braved the hazy conditions to watch some of the state's best senior talent compete one final time before heading off to college.
The WFCA All-Star Games bring together standout senior football players and coaches from across Wisconsin each summer, culminating a week-long camp with the annual North vs. South matchups. Beyond the competition on the field, the event serves as a major fundraiser for Children's Hospital of Wisconsin — this year's participants helped raise more than $380,000 for the cause.
Being selected to coach in the WFCA All-Star Game is a notable honor, reflecting a coach's standing among peers across the state. Congratulations to Coach Stewart on both the honor of the selection and on leading the South squad to victory!
