It was exactly the start Richland County football was looking for in Week 1 of the 2022 season.

Six of the nine Richland County schools that field a football team picked up wins kicking off their seasons with a 1-0 record heading into Week 2. The three teams that took losses lost to fellow Richland County schools.

Let's check out some scores and highlights from Week 1.

The Mansfield Senior Tygers went on the road to Norwalk for the first time in six years and rolled home with a solid 41-19 victory to kick off the 2022 campaign 1-0.

After falling behind early, 6-0, the Tygers responded with a Ricky Mills 44-yard touchdown run to grab a 7-6 lead at the end of the first quarter. Norwalk, which controlled the time of possession in the first half, scored to make it 12-7 before the Tygers answered with a 24-yard touchdown pass from Duke Reese to Amarr Davis and an 8-yard Mills touchdown run to make it 20-12 at the half.

Reese started the second half out with a 52-yard bomb of a touchdown to Davis to make it 27-12 as Norwalk answered right back taking the ensuing kickoff back for a score to cut it to 27-19. The Tygers tacked on two more scores, both runs by Mills of five and nine yards, to put the finishing touches on the Week 1 victory.
