There is a full slate of high school football in this third week of the season.
The Friday night slate includes Manitowoc Lincoln heading up I-43 to battle the undefeated Tritons of Notre Dame Academy of Green Bay.
On paper, this is truly a “David versus Goliath” matchup as the Ships take on last year’s Division Two state runner-up (lost to West De Pere in the state championship game), who’ve scored 91 points in their first two games, defeating Neenah 56 to 53 in overtime and Kaukauna 35 to 28.
Senior running back Kingston Allen has picked up right where he left off last year.
Last year’s state offensive player of the year has already amassed 912 rushing yards and 12 touchdowns behind a talented offensive line, led by senior Richie Flanigan, who’s headed to play his college ball for the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame.
The Tritons have allowed 81 points in their first two contests as the Shipbuilders are in search of their first touchdown of the young season.
Coverage on 98.9 FM WOMT 100 and at WOMTRadio.com begins at 6:45 p.m.
Meanwhile, Roncalli hits the road to open EWC play against the Huskies.
The Jets bounced back last week after a season-opening loss to Manitowoc Lutheran, defeating Mishicot 28-0.
The Huskies, meanwhile, have won their first two games of the season and put up 63 points in a rout of Waupun last week (63-14).
Seniors Connor Schafer and James Conrad have combined for over 400 rushing yards and 7 touchdowns through the first two games of the season.
The game has been moved to Fifrick Field in Kiel due to heavy rain that fell in New Holstein last evening.
Two Rivers hosts St. Mary Catholic in the first-ever meeting between the two schools in football.
Both teams are coming off their first wins of the season last week.
Two Rivers handled Ripon 28 to 20 while the Zephyrs put up 44 points in a victory over Manawa.
Both teams have gotten good play from their quarterbacks to start the season.
Sophomore Easton Carriveau has accounted for over 400 yards from scrimmage and six touchdowns, while senior Tarver Trinkner has accounted for close to 400 yards and five touchdowns through two games.
