The Kewaunee Storm (3-1) won a hard-fought Packerland Conference battle over Bonduel (2-2), pulling out a tight 14-7 victory Friday night.

The matchup was expected to be tight with both teams having high expectations to win the conference, and it lived up to the noise. Points were at a premium throughout, with senior quarterback Brett Paulsen providing both of Kewaunee’s touchdowns on the ground, continuing to be a scoring threat both through the air and on the ground. 

The defining play came late in the fourth quarter when the Storm converted a fake punt at their own 26-yard line, with Paulsen picking up the first down to help seal the win.

"It's always good to get a win, home opener, a good conference battle," head coach Randy Charles said postgame. "Got to give props to Bonduel, that's a heck of a football club and they grinded to the end. They pushed us to our limits. That's a good ball club we just beat there" (Fox 11). 

The win marks Kewaunee’s third straight after narrowly dropping its season opener and also ends Bonduel’s 11-game conference winning streak.

With the victory, Kewaunee remains tied atop the Packerland with Mishicot and Marinette at 2-0 in conference play. The Storm will look to extend their streak next Friday when they host Mishicot at 7 p.m.
