The Wrightstown Tigers are used to winning football games.

The Shawano Hawks? Not so much.

Shawano had an opportunity to knock off a team that played for a state championship the last two seasons, but ended up on the short end of a 10-8 score Aug. 28 in the Hawks’ home opener.

The game’s first five drives ended with a punt, but the next two ended on a fumble.

It was a case of good news, bad news for the Menominee Nation football team in its season opener against Laona/Wabeno.

The good news is the Eagles held the Rebels to 12 points in the second half.

The bad news is Laona/Wabeno scored on its first eight possessions to take a 62-0 halftime lead before handing the Eagles a 74-0 loss Aug. 28 in Keshena.

Menominee Nation coach Kodiak Mahkimetas wasn’t surprised by the outcome.

After opening the season with a road loss, Pulaski and Bonduel’s football teams are heading into conference play after convincing wins over Hortonville and Coleman, respectively.

Pulaski handed Hortonville a 42-7 loss Aug. 29, while Bonduel defeated Coleman 33-12 Aug. 28.
