Cumberland Beavers
The Beavers enter Week 2 with an 0-1 record after falling 32-8 to Chetek-Weyerhaeuser in their season opener. Offensively, Cumberland found the end zone late but struggled to move the ball consistently. With a week of adjustments, the Beavers will look to establish the run game early and cut down on turnovers.
