SHAWANO — Two early turnovers proved to be the turning point in the Shawano Community High School football team’s 42-0 home loss to West De Pere on Friday.

Getting off to a fast start against the reigning Bay Conference champions and last year’s Division 3 runner-up at state was something Shawano hoped to achieve. The Hawks looked to be on their way to doing just that after junior Gage Timm found sophomore Elliott Lowney for a 56-yard pass to set the hosts up inside the West De Pere 20 on the first drive of the game.

WINNIPEG, Manitoba — Daniel Carlson kicked a 33-yard field goal with 8 seconds remaining, and the Oakland Raiders earned a bizarre 22-21 preseason victory over the Green Bay Packers on a field shortened to 80 yards for player safety.

End zones were marked by bright orange pylons at the 10-yard lines and there were no kickoffs. The field was reconfigured because of concerns about the areas where the goal posts for the CFL’s Winnipeg franchise were removed and covered with turf.
