On the road once again, and trying to erase the sting of a lopsided loss on Homecoming, the Chippewa Falls Cardinals (2-5, 1-4 Big Rivers Conference) marched right down the field against the Wildcats (5-2, 3-3 BRC), and scored the first touchdown of the night, before River Falls punched back with the next two scores and led 14-7 at the break.
In a back and forth affair that saw three 14-0 scoring runs but neither team ever take the lead by more than seven points, Chi-Hi sparked a sensational comeback in the second half, but fell just short of victory.

The Macks(5-0, 2-0) led 46-0 after the first quarter, 53-0 at the half, and ultimately won their Saturday afternoon homecoming gave over Cornell(0-5, 0-2), 59-0 at Dorais Field. Six different players scored a total of nine TD's for the Macks. In addition to shutting out the Chieftans the McDonell D also recovered four fumbles and picked off two passes(David Anderson & Ryder Sullivan).
The Macks now prepare for a road game Friday night at 7 at New Auburn, the only other team with an undefeated conference record in the CWC-West.

Back at Dorais for Homecoming and fresh off their first conference victory, the Chippewa Falls Cardinals (2-4, 1-3 Big Rivers Conference) went three and out on their first two possessions against the unbeaten and state-ranked Tigers (6-0, 4-0 BRC), who quickly staked themselves to a 12-0 advantage.
The Cards hoped to find a spark with a long touchdown run in the second quarter, but simply could not stop the New Richmond attack, as the Tigers only punted once and dominated time of possession throughout the contest.

After three setbacks in a row, the Chippewa Falls Cardinals (2-3, 1-2 Big Rivers Conference) made the short road-trip south to face the resurgent Huskies (3-2, 2-1 BRC), who were winners of three straight and in a four-way tie for first place in the Big Rivers.
Sparked by a defensive touchdown in the opening minute, Chi-Hi staked themselves a 17-0 advantage, but a resilient North team continued to battle back, coming as close as seven points down the stretch as momentum see-sawed between both squads. In the end, splash plays on special teams made the difference, as the Cards notched their first conference win of 2023.
For the first time in three weeks McDonell Central(4-0, 1-0) didn't need to come from behind in winning at Bruce, 47-12.
After leading 14-6 at the half, the Macks scored the first three TD's of the second half in extending their lead to 34-6 on their way to the win.
Next up for the Macks is their 1pm Homecoming game vs. Cornell Sept. 23rd at Dorais Field, with a 12:35 pre-game on WOGO Sports.
