With the exciting, action-packed high school football season now completed through the second week of the WIAA playoffs, the time has arrived to take a look at some of the best players throughout the state of Wisconsin and let you vote on who you think is the best of the best.

We began with the talented quarterbacks, hard-working running backs, versatile wide receivers, standout tight ends, hard-hitting linebackers, tough offensive linemen, hard-nosed defensive linemen, athletic defensive backs, and explosive edge rushers so now let's focus on the poised place kickers from throughout the state.

There are hundreds of outstanding players in Wisconsin, and these lists are not intended to be comprehensive.

Voting remains open until November 13 at 11:59 p.m. PT.
