Last season the two teams played twice with Kimberly winning both games, the regular season match-up 35-28 and the playoff game 28-21. In both games the Cardinals came close to ending the streak last year.

The Papermakers last loss was to Arrowhead 31-7 in 2012 in a state quarterfinal game.

It is the second week in a row that a long streak was broken, last week Soldotna (Alaska) lost on the last play of the game 18-13 to Anchorage West ending their 59 game winning streak.

With the top streaks ending, next in line is Lamar (Missouri) who has a 48 game winning streak. They start the season next week at Logan-Rogersville.
