Week 1 of the 2014 season is in the books, but before we move on, we should recap some of the events of the weekend. Let's start with some random observations. It was an interesting couple of days to say the least and it looks like we are gearing up for quite the season.

Observations:

Grand Rapids Christian QB Luke Thompson (pictured above) was injured on the 1st play of the 2nd half vs South Christian. He left the game with 114 yards rushing and a TD.

Grandville's Wing-T offense has some potential. Three Bulldogs ran for over 100 yards and this group has me intrigued.

Tyler Bradfield loves scoring on returns (3 return TD in 2013). In a 28-10 win on Thursday, the Rockford playmaker returned a fumble 37 yards for a TD.

13 OK Conference schools scored 40+ points in week 1. Calvin Christian scored the most (72).

Byron Center, Northpointe Christian, and Grand Rapids West Catholic were the only teams to shut out their opponents.

South Christian RB Geff Plasman showed he's a threat out of the backfield as a receiver with 7 receptions for 102 yards and a TD vs Grand Rapids Christian.

5 OK Red teams picked up wins week 1. (Rockford, Hudsonville, East Kentwood, Grandville, and Grand Haven)

West Catholic was the only team from the OK Blue to win week 1. Travis Russell had 3 total touchdowns in a 31-0 win over Muskegon Oakridge.

Lowell won their season opener and that's not too surprising. The Red Arrows have won 21 straight season openers.

The Grand Rapids Catholic Central defense held East Grand Rapids to 69 total yards in the 2nd half. (EGR won on a game-winning field goal as time expired 17-14)
