Week 1 of the high school football season has arrived (with due respect to the handful of games played in the AISA last week.) In comes new regions, new classifications for some, and some interesting openers, particularly a few that feature teams playing for the first time.

The week ushers in new coaches at six different schools in the River Region.

Each week, River Region Sports will break down the top matchups of the week and pick a winner in all games involving teams from the area.
