The Kimberly defense held a unique and stout Pulaski running game that had gashed Ashwaubenon for 368 yards and 8 touchdowns – on 10.8 yards per carry – in week one to just 114 yards and 3.2 yards per carry Thursday night as the Papermakers moved to 2-0 with a 23-6 home win over the Red Raiders at Papermaker Stadium.
