The 2023 fall sports season in the Ark Valley Chisholm Trail I is fully underway with the opening of football action this past Friday night.

The AVCTL I did not earn very many high honors in the opening week of football, however, as just Maize and Maize South High Schools were able to win their opening round games this past Friday night.

This coming week will see the first week of intra-AVCTLI action with teams meeting up against each other with Campus playing at Maize South, Derby playing at Salina South and Newton playing at Newton. Maize High School is the lone AVCTLI team to not play a league game this week. The Eagles will play host to AVCTL II’s Andover Central.
