On Thursday, Kewaunee avenged last year's season-opening loss with a 28-21 win over Kiel.

Eight-man football will begin their regular season next week, but that will not keep the area's teams off the field this weekend. Gibraltar travels to St. Mary's for a 1 p.m. scrimmage. Sevastopol and Algoma will take on each other Saturday.
In NFL football, the Green Bay Packers will face the New Orleans Saints for a third time on Friday after hosting them for practices on Tuesday and Wednesday. It will be another showcase for the back-ups when the game begins at 7 p.m.
