What to watch for

These two teams are coming off dramatically different seasons from a year ago, but both have their eye on starting 1-0.

The Cougars were winless in 2007 and the Bluebirds lost just one game until the state playoffs.

Head coach Kelly Steiner will have senior quarterback Ben Krause leading his backfield, and trying to exact revenge on a blowout loss to GHS a year ago.

Goessel standout QB Austin Unruh will try to lead his team to the playoffs for the fourth straight year.
