Neenah 49, De Pere 37

FOX CROSSING – Grant Dean erupted for six touchdowns – including five rushing – to lead the Rockets past a scrappy Redbirds squad at the new Neenah High School football field in the season opener for both teams.

Dean scored on runs of 40, 3, 17, 23 and 15 yards. He also returned a kickoff 88 yards for a touchdown and made several big defensive plays in the secondary. He finished with 249 yards on 25 carries.

The 5-foot-11 junior displayed surprising power, breaking through a multitude of arm tackles on a few of his scoring runs.

“He’s special,” Jung said. “A lot of times he’ll just run through and there’s not anything there and he makes things happen. In the first half he gave us that edge that we needed. And we needed him to carry us at the end of the game.”

De Pere’s Easton Arendt had a banner day passing, throwing for 379 yards and three touchdowns. He also ran for a score as the Cardinals pulled to within 42-37 late in the fourth quarter.

Neenah (1-0) also had a touchdown run from Chase Collins.

Kaukauna 42, Ashwaubenon 14

KAUKAUNA - Kyle Kress scored on runs of 4 and 6 yards in the first and second quarters, respectively, to send the Ghosts on their way to the win over the Jaguars.

Danny Poor had a 7-yard touchdown catch to make it 21-0 for Kaukauna in the second quarter with Brady Hoffer adding a 1-yard touchdown run and Nolan Hall a 74-yard touchdown pass from Finnley Doriot to make it 35-0 at halftime.

Aiden Reardon scored on a 5-yard run early in the third quarter to complete Kaukauna’s scoring and make it 42-0.

Doriot completed 14 of 19 passes for 250 yards. Kress led the ground game with 17 carries for 102 yards. Hall finished with seven catches for 215 yards.

Ashwaubenon scored in the fourth quarter on a 7-yard pass from Malcolm MacGrath to Naythan Skenandore and a 12-yard pass from Sawyer Walton to Kayden Martin.
