Continue ReadingWeek 1 had some fantastic games. It feels great to get back to Football. He is the recap of my top 3 Games from Week One. First, we have the Lakeview Vikings and the Ashland-Greenwood Bluejays. Ashland would take a quick 14-3. The Bluejays would take the rest of the game scoring another two touchdowns to win 28-3. I was at the second game between Bennington and Skutt and it was electric. The Game was back and forth with both teams doing great on the offensive and defensive line. I have a Game report coming out soon with the details on the Badger’s last-second 14-13 win over the Skyhawks. The Final Game of Week One was between Kearney and Lincoln East. Kearney strikes first going up 6-0 in the first not long before Lincoln East went on a 21-point streak in the second. Kearney would score again putting Lincoln East up 21-13 at half. Kearney would take the 3 scores personally exploding the third quarter. The Bearcats have sealed the game and Win the game 41-28.
