What a great opening week of the high school football season. It featured just about everything - upsets, fantastic play and fun.
In the Fox Valley Association, Menasha proved why it is the defending conference champs. Senior running back Trevor Kinney rushed for 243 yards and three touchdowns on 21 carries, including scores of 74 and 53 yards in a 25-14 win over Appleton West.
Oshkosh North, under second-year coach Chris Kujawa took Fond du Lac to overtime before falling 27-21. Juston Wara completed 14 of 19 passes for 187 yards and a touchdown for North.
In one of many battles of Appleton to be staged this season, North outlasted East 21-13 behind senior running back Cory Reiland who gained 159 yards on 30 carries.
Behind the running of Michael Sewall, Kimberly got off to a fast start in a 35-7 win over Neenah. He carried 21 times for 165 yards in the Papermakers' win.
Chris Agrell rushed 17 times for 146 yards to help lead Oshkosh West to a 31-6 win over Kaukauna. Eric Wall completed 10 of 20 passes for 199 yards to lead Kaukauna.
It wasn't a very good start for Valley 8 teams as only three of the eight teams picked up non-conference wins. Xavier, Oconto Falls and Little Chute were impressive in their wins, however. Xavier blanked Winneconne 21-0, Oconto Falls stunned Green Bay West 21-0 and Little Chute beat Sturgeon Bay 34-0 on Thursday.
Clintonville was the most impressive in defeat, dropping a heartbreaking 28-24 decision to defending WIAA Division 4 champion Ripon on Friday. Kody Kuss led Clintonville with 136 yards rushing on 17 carries.
