Both the Southern Door Eagles and the Clintonville Truckers hope to start 2020 on the right foot when they meet each other for the first time as conference opponents Friday night.

The Eagles are trying to erase the memories of a 2-6 season last year and break a three-game losing streak dating back to the 2019 campaign. Returning to the team is running back Nick Baudhuin, who broke the school's rushing record with 403 yards on 37 carries in the team's 39-14 win over Crivitz. He along with quarterback Alex Daoust return as two of the team's seven seniors. The team remains young with 14 sophomores on the roster.

The Truckers make the switch from the Northeastern Conference to the Packerland Conference after not registering more than three wins in a season since 2010. A big reason is why is the offense, which has not averaged more than a touchdown a game since 2015. Seniors Brady Kasson, Nathan Morse, Ryan Wegenke, Tyler Tellock, and Brock Smejkal highlight a team that will be coached for the first time by Nick Winkler.

Tim Kowols and Bryan Mazur will have the call of the game on the NEWRadioSportsNetwork and 102.1 MORE FM beginning at 6:30 p.m. with the pregame show followed by kickoff at 7 p.m.
