West Holt is coming home in high spirits after they had to open their season on the road against Elkhorn Valley. West Holt was the clear victor by a 36-14 margin over Elkhorn Valley on Thursday. The win was some much needed relief for the Huskies as it spelled an end to their five-game losing streak dating back to last season.
Meanwhile, Central Valley gave their fans exactly what they wanted out of a home opener on Friday. They walked away with a 50-42 victory over Riverside. The score was all tied up 28-28 at the break, but the Cougars were the better team in the second half.
Central Valley got their win on the backs of several key players, but it was Zaden Wolf out in front who rushed for 143 yards and three touchdowns while picking up 7.5 yards per carry, and also threw for 140 yards and two touchdowns while completing 87.5% of his passes. Wolf was no stranger to the big play, taking off on a dash that went for 57 yards. Another player making a difference was Grady Kelley, who gained 173 total yards and three touchdowns.
Perhaps unsurprisingly given the score, Central Valley was moving up and down the field and finished the game with 463 total yards. That's the most total yards they've posted since back in September of 2023.
