The Ark Valley Chisholm Trail Division 1 got off to a slower start than expected to the 2022 football season this past Friday night as the seven teams in the AVCT 1 group only won 3 of its 7 games as there were no inter-league games in the opening week.

While there were no AVCT 1 interleague matchups this week, there were five games that pitted AVCT 1 teams against AVCT 2 teams and the AVCT1 won two of those matchups with Hutchinson defeating Eisenhower 27-20 and Maize South defeating Andover 44-16.

The AVCT 2 victories included Goddard defeating Campus 56-35, Valley Center topping Newton 21-17 and Salina Central winning the Salina’s Mayor’s Cup 52-28 over Salina South.

Derby lost its Class 6A showdown with Manhattan 26-23 and Maize High rolled to a 78-7 victory over Topeka in the other two AVCT 1 games in the opening week.
