Week 1 of the high school football season is officially in the books, and there were plenty of highlights from the opening night of the year.

There were some shootouts and some new beginnings. Some top-notch individual performances and some tight finishes.

Through it all it was Week 1 of the season, meaning a new year is upon us, with fresh hopes and dreams for every team that takes the field in the YAIAA.
