A five-touchdown explosion in the second quarter sent the homecoming crowd in Brussels home happy after the Southern Door Eagles beat the Peshtigo Bulldogs 60-12 Friday night.

 

The Eagles opened up the scoring in the first quarter on a 20 yard passing play from Alex Daoust to Jack Peterson. From there the Eagles did their work on the ground, scoring on eight rushing touchdowns. Nick Baudhuin led the way for the Eagles rushing attack, running for over 220 yards and five total touchdowns. He found the end zone four times in the second quarter with Daoust scoring the other touchdown to give the Eagles a 40-0 half time lead.

 

Baudhuin added another touchdown from over 45 yards out in the 3rd quarter, only to be outdone by Christian Counard’s 55-yarder later in the frame. The Bulldogs would get on the scoreboard in the fourth quarter with Will Boettcher scoring from 10 yards out and lineman John Schaut recovering a Peterson fumble in the end zone. Counard closed out the scoring after the miscue with his second touchdown on the day, this time from 27 yards out.  The Eagles were able to take advantage of some Bulldogs miscues, scoring after an interception by Daoust, an onside kick, and a muffed punt.

 

The Eagles will take their perfect mark on the road next week to Oconto, which had its two attempts at a game on Friday canceled. NEW Radio Sports Network will carry the game on 102.1 MORE FM beginning at 6:30 p.m. with the pregame show followed by kickoff at 7 p.m.
