Soldatna and North Pole Combine for Over 100 Points in Opener

Who says it takes a while for the offense to catch-up with the defense? With only nine days of practice, defending Small Schools champ Soldatna and North Pole proved that each others' defense has a little catching-up to do as Soldatna opened the season with an impressive 62-42 win.

In combining to pass the century mark in points, Soldatna used a tough running attack and only passed twice. The Stars ended the night with 419 yards on the ground while North Pole had a balanced attack with 286 yards rushing and 169 passing.

Chugiak Takes Down Defending Champ

It didn't take long for South to figure out that a wearing a bullseye is a little tough. The defending Big Schools champ will be the target of a lot of teams that want to hoist the 2007 state championship high school football trophy, just like the Wolverines did in 2006

#2 ranked Chugiak opened the 2007 Alaska high school football season with a message to all contenders...DON'T look past us, as the Mustangs beat South 10-7 on their home field. Chugiak's win not only will set a tone for this season's campaign, but also ended South's 11-game win streak.

Railbelt Conference Preview

The Colony Knights will have some big shoes to fill if they want to repeat as the Railbelt Conference champs and get back to the Big Schools championship game where they lost to South last year.

The Knights lost Chebon Jimenez, the state's Offensive Player of the Year, first team all-state quarterback Teddy Babcock and tight end/defensive end and Alaska Gatorade Player of the Year George Percak-Dennett. In fact, the Knights lost 10 of 11 starters on both sides of the ball.

Who's the favorite? It's hard to say because all of last year's top team lost key personnel.

Look for Juneau to make some noise despite losing record-setting quarterback Chris Hinkley.
