GRAFTON — The Grafton Black Hawks returned home as state champions Friday, marking the school's first state title since the early 1980s with a perfect season.

Graysen Bollech kicked a 35-yard field goal to secure the state championship for the Black Hawks, bringing home the gold ball from Camp Randall Stadium. The team was greeted by cheering fans and proud community members as they arrived back in Grafton.

"When your son's the kicker, all eyes are on one individual out there. I just had to bury my head and pray to God that He was with him. And it worked out," Graysen's mother and a Grafton football parent, Ashley Bollech, said.

"Everybody is so extremely proud of them," Bollech said.

Graysen proudly carried the gold ball off the team bus as cheers filled the air from the crowd.
