The calendar says March 26th but for many division-1 high school programs in the region, it marks the opening game of the alternate Fall football season.
Manitowoc Lincoln plays host to Fond du Lac tonight in the first of a 5-game regular season, to be followed by a two-game playoff format.
Coach Greg Enz will lead his Shipbuilders into action at Ron Rubick Athletic Field against a very well-established Cardinals’ program.
Enz had nothing but high praise for Fond du Lac.
“There’s a mindset there,” he told Seehafer News. “Those kids play extremely hard, they built a culture and a weight program and an overall athletic program that I think can be a beacon that we want to aspire to in this community.” He also called the revival of the old 151 rivalry a really cool opportunity.
The ballgame kicks at seven tonight with a 6:45 airtime on 107.9 FM WOMT, and at WOMTRadio.com.
Other football games scheduled in the Fox Valley Classic Conference include, Sheboygan South at Kimberly, Sheboygan North at Green Bay East, Green Bay Preble at Bay Port, Stevens Point at Neenah, Appleton East at Appleton North, Ashwaubenon at Pulaski, Green Bay Southwest at De Pere, Oshkosh West at Appleton West, and Oshkosh North visiting Green Bay West.
