Mayville Opens Football Season with Preseason Scrimmage at Ray Dunn Field

Mayville shared the field with Lake Country Lutheran and Brookfield, using the multi-team format to rotate lineups and evaluate players in game-like situations. The scrimmage emphasized development and execution rather than final scores, giving coaches a chance to assess both veterans and newcomers.

Throughout the evening, the Cardinals focused on fundamentals—clean exchanges, defensive alignment, and situational awareness—while experimenting with different personnel groupings. The coaching staff also took the opportunity to give younger players extended reps under the lights, an important step as the regular season approaches.

Defensively, Mayville showed energy and communication, while the offense worked through timing and rhythm against varied looks from its scrimmage opponents. Special teams units were also tested, rounding out a comprehensive preseason evaluation.

With the scrimmage complete, the Cardinals turn their attention to final preparations ahead of Week One. The opening night at Ray Dunn Field provided valuable insight and set the tone for the work ahead as Mayville gears up for the start of the regular season.
