I like that pick Hulk.. An all FVA team state final is certainly looking like a possibility at this point

Even if Hortonville wins the FVA tournament, it wouldn't be co-champs with Kaukauna. Here's why. The final standings are determined by a combination of points earned in dual meets and the conference tournament. Teams get 1.5 points for each dual meet win and a corresponding number of points for their finish in the tournament. By doing the math, Kaukauna will likely finish with 13.5 points for nine dual meet wins, while Hortonville will have 12 for eight wins providing each team goes unbeaten the rest of the way. If Hortonville wins the tourney, it gets 10 points for a total of 22, but if Kaukauna takes second, which would be likely, it gets nine points for a total of 22.5, so the Ghosts would win the title by .5 points. The only way Hortonville can win the title would be if it wins the tourney and Kaukauna finishes third or worse in the tournament -- not a likely scenario. In that case,  Hortonville would win the title outright. It used to be that the conference weighed duals and the tournament equally, but coaches voted to give more weight to duals some time ago.
