For their season opener the West De Pere High School football team faced off against Hortonville at home.
As the game started West De Pere wasted no time, coming out of the gate dominating.
Hortonville received the ball first but was shut down by the West De Pere defense three consecutive times.
There was no getting past the defense. Even as the game went on the West De Pere defense didn’t give up a single point, holding Hortonville to zero points at the end of the game.
While their defense was on fire, the offense matched their energy coming out and scoring every chance they got.
During the first half West De Pere came out firing the ball, throwing up 50/50 balls to the receivers and making grabs to make the play.
There was no stopping the pass game as Quarterback Patrick Greisen and the rest of his receivers were in sync, leading to a 45-0 win over Hortonville.
The Head Coach Chris Griesen believed that this win was not just made by one player but everyone played the role and it all came together because of the preparation of the team.
Even though they got this win, these are still humble beginning’s and there is a long season ahead.
