Hamerski will play football at the NCAA Division II University of Minnesota-Duluth, while Wright committed to play football at NCAA Division II Winona State University (Minn.).

Hamerski was an Honorable Mention All-Valley Football Association (VFA) cornerback and return specialist as a junior at SPASH, while he ended up playing on offense and defense as a senior.

Hamerski was a unanimous First Team All-Valley Football Association (VFA) West Division selection at safety as a senior, and was the VFA West Division Defensive Back of the Year, as well as an Honorable Mention All-State defensive back by the Wisconsin Football Coaches Association (WFCA).

The 5-11, 180-pound senior also saw time at running back on offense and rushed for 136 yards and three touchdowns on 11 carries in a 48-47 overtime win at Hudson in the WIAA Division 1 Level 1 Playoffs.

Wright started at nose tackle on the defensive line the last three seasons, and also played at center on the offensive line as a senior. As a junior, he was a First Team All-VFA selection on the defensive line.

The Panthers finished 6-5 this season following a 57-51 loss in four overtimes at third-ranked Bay Port in the WIAA Division 1 Level 2 Playoffs.
