So far Happy has looked impressive, Follett and Valley are much improved from last year and Wildorado has been a pleasant surprise to start the season.
2. No Happy hands Springlake-Earth first loss
It was a scoring frenzy Friday night when Happy was able to put away the Springlake-Earth Wolverines 77-30.

5. Undefeated teams set to collide
The Follett Panthers and Wildorado Mustangs have made a name for themselves through the first three weeks of the season.

6. Hedley‘s unbeaten start comes to end
It was a tight game all the way until the final horn rang, but the Owls undefeated streak was cut short in their 46-39 loss to Vernon Northside Friday night.
