As the dust settles on Week 1 of the high school football season, the District IV landscape has already seen its share of surprises, shakeups, and statement wins.

Valley View opened its 2025 season with a 14-10 victory over Scranton Prep in Archbald.

Scranton Prep’s Mackey Lynett put the Cavaliers on the board with a fumble recovery touchdown, and Tyler Bianchi added a field goal, but Valley View’s balance on the ground and key second-half surge proved the difference.
