The opening week of high school football in the Green Bay area delivered a cascade of excitement, with the three leading programs — West De Pere, Bay Port, and Green Bay Notre Dame — remaining unbeaten after decisive victories. Each team showcased a distinct style, from high‑octane passing attacks to ground‑and‑pound rushes, setting the stage for a competitive season.
Overtime Thriller at Neenah
Green Bay Notre Dame edged Neenah 56‑53 in overtime, a clash that featured Kingston Allen’s historic rush. Allen compiled 458 rushing yards and seven touchdowns, extending the Tritons’ 26‑game winning streak and cementing his place in state history.
Quarterback Andrew Greisen of West De Pere continued his ascent toward a state record, throwing for 385 yards and five touchdowns in a 42‑20 win over Sun Prairie East. The performance moved him within striking distance of becoming the first quarterback in Wisconsin history to reach 100 career touchdowns.
Bay Port dominated Middleton 56‑15, building a 35‑point lead early and capping the second half with a mercy run. Senior running back Ryder Timmerman contributed 135 rushing yards and a touchdown, averaging 16.9 yards per carry and helping the crew stay undefeated.
Pulaski opened its campaign with a 47‑7 triumph over Appleton East, rushing for 290 yards and seven touchdowns. Senior running back Anthony Ficarri powered the offense with 180 yards and five scores, underscoring the team’s balanced attack.
De Pere posted a 47‑0 shutout of Manitowoc, with senior linebacker Drew Taber delivering a pick‑six that highlighted a stifling defensive performance.
Luxemburg‑Casco’s quarterback Eli Derenne turned heads with 232 rushing yards and four touchdowns against Kewaskum, a showing that nearly matched his total from the previous season.
Green Bay Preble’s Harrison Selk made a splash in his debut, completing 26 of 33 passes for 351 yards and five touchdowns, finishing just shy of his career‑high from the prior year.
With the top three teams still unbeaten, early matchups will determine whether these explosive performances translate into sustained dominance. Fans can expect more high‑scoring affairs as the season progresses, especially when the likes of Kingston Allen, Andrew Greisen, and Harrison Selk continue to push boundaries.
