Week 1 Top Performers
A look back at top performances from Week 1 of the high school football season from the Green Bay area.
Watch AP on WFRV Channel 5’s High School Sports Xtra.
TEAM OF THE WEEK: Seymour
Seymour football coach Matt Molle felt his team lacks size across the board this year.
However, his players certainly showed they have big hearts.
Seymour beat Green Bay East, 48-6, in a Bay Conference game Friday by totaling 270 rushing yards.
More importantly, the Thunder wore yellow socks in support of a classmate, Jordan Schadrie, who is battling cancer. You can make a donation towards Schadrie’s treatments on a GoFundMe page.
“Aaron Geurts organized it,” Seymour football coach Matt Molle said of his team wearing yellow Friday. “He’s one of our senior leaders. Aaron said at one of our contact days, ‘I know we’re on the road for our first game, but can we wear yellow socks for her?’ She had a benefit going on, so we were going to support her and her family. That’s the kind of kids we have.”
PLAYERS OF THE WEEK
James Arett, Notre Dame Academy: The senior running back led the area with four touchdowns and rushed for 162 yards on 23 carries.
Jerod Jandt, Peshtigo: After missing most of last year with a torn ACL, the senior rushed for 176 yards on 36 carries to lead the area and rushed for two touchdowns in a loss to Two Rivers.
Jayden Montgomery, Bay Port: After starting on defense as a freshman last year, the sophomore rushed for 81 yards on 11 carries and scored the Pirates’ first touchdown in a 42-0 shutout over Manitowoc to help fill the void with senior Isaiah Gash out due to injury.
Luke Schroeder, Ashwaubenon: The junior receiver caught four passes for 80 yards, including a 58-yard touchdown to put the game away in a 20-7 victory at Green Bay Southwest.
Carter Zimmerman, Algoma: The sophomore recorded nine tackles and a sack to lead the Wolves’ 32-0 shutout of the N.E.W. Lutheran co-op. Zimmerman also passed for a touchdown and rushed for another score.
OFFENSIVE LINE OF THE WEEK: West De Pere
The Phantoms produced 526 yards of offense in a 42-0 shutout victory at Shawano in a Bay Conference game. West De Pere averaged 8.3 yards per rush in racking up 356 yards on the ground behind the line of Kerry Kodanko, Gabe Somerville, Jake Schmidt, Bryce Graef, Justin Benoit and tight end Billy Wyatt.
DEFENSE OF THE WEEK: Green Bay Preble
The Hornets’ swarming defense recorded six turnovers in a 28-0 shutout victory over De Pere. Junior Hunter Yang returned an interception for a touchdown to put Preble up 14-0 before the half and the Hornets recovered a fumble on the first play of the second half.
