The second week of the regular season for high school football will feature road games for the Soldotna Stars and Nikiski Bulldogs and a bye weekend for the Kenai Kardinals.
SoHi vs Colony @ Colony Friday, August 21 ESPN 1140AM
The Stars, following a victory over the 2014 large school state champion South Anchorage, continue play against large school opponents ( SoHi plays four large schools in the regular season) with a road game on Friday night against the Colony Knights.
The Stars rushed for over 300 yards behind Mason Prior, Kristian Palaniuk and Drew Gibbs; with Gibbs out of the mix, the Stars will call on a stable of running backs to fill in the Full-T backfield.
The Colony Knights from the Railbelt Conference in the large school classification opened the season last week with a 14-13 loss to East Anchorage.
The Stars vs Knights game is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. on Friday night and will be broadcast on ESPN 1140AM and www.radiokenai.com

Nikiski’s ground attack is lead by Corin Cooper and Rykker Riddall, with Cade Anderson to Hunter Holloway leading the passing attack.
