In a battle of Big Rivers unbeatens, the Chippewa Falls Cardinals (3-1, 1-1 Big Rivers Conference) visited New Richmond for a big early season test.
The Tigers (4-0, 2-0 BRC) moved the ball down the field for an early score, but a key interception turning into 7 points helped the Cards stay within striking distance at the break.
There would be no scoring in the second half, however, as each defense came up with some crucial stops and Chi-Hi's final drive fell short.

In one of the state's longest-running rivalries, the Chippewa Falls Cardinals (3-0, 1-0 Big Rivers Conference) hosted Menomonie the conference opener, on a beautiful Veterans Night at Dorais Field.
The Mustangs (0-3, 0-1 BRC) moved the ball early, but hurt themselves with penalties and turnovers, before punching in a score as the clock expired to end the first half.
That would prove to be the only points of the night for the visitors, however, as the Cardinals' defense completely stifled the ground game and the Chi-Hi offense found its groove.
The Macks(0-1,1-20 lost their conference opener to visiting Spring Valley(1-0, 2-1), 44-42. Following a 14-all tie in the 1st half, the Macks put up the first 20 points after intermission on their way to a 34-14 lead, but the Cardinals rallied back outscoring McDonell 30-8 the rest of the way.
