senior Tommy Pennington, the quarterback for the USM football team, has been placed on the Dave Krieg Award Preseason Watch List. 

The Dave Krieg Award is presented annually to the state's top senior quarterback as part of the Wisconsin Sports Net Senior Football Awards. The award is named after former D.C. Everest and Milton College quarterback Dave Krieg, who went on to play 12 seasons for the Seattle Seahawks in the NFL plus seven more years for several other teams. 

Krieg ranks in the Top 15 all-time in many passing categories. Pennington joins senior quarterbacks from all seven division WIAA teams on the pre-season list, which is compiled from all-conference teams, stats leaders, film evaluations, WSN player rankings, and coaches’ input. The list will be trimmed down to 25 semi-finalists halfway through the year, with five finalists chosen at the start of the playoffs. Winners are announced the week of the state finals.
