Both sides of the ball took two weeks of frustration out on their opponent Friday night as the Southern Door Eagles shut out the Mishicot Indians 40-0 in Brussels.

 

After a slow start for both teams, Eagles defensive back Jared Hawkey picked off Indians quarterback Jacob Hibbard to provide a spark midway through the first quarter. Nick Baudhuin scored the first of his three three-yard touchdown runs to get the Eagles on the scoreboard first. The Eagles offense was dealt a blow early in the second quarter when quarterback Alex Daoust injured his leg on the team's second touchdown drive that Baudhuin finished off. Finishing off the quarter in relief of Daoust, sophomore Jack Peterson led the Eagles on three touchdown drives including his own 18-yard strike to Devin Schinktgen with just seconds to go to give the Eagles a 26-0 lead at the half. 

 

No one would reach the endzone again until the fourth quarter when Nick Baudhuin scored from 24 and seven yards out to close out the game. Baudhuin would finish the evening with 254 rushing yards and five touchdowns while Peterson ended his day with 70 yards of total offense. Head coach Ryan Zuelke said on the postgame show that Alex Daoust will be reevaluated on Friday to figure out the extent of his injury.

 

The Eagles defense was able to shut down the Indians' rushing attack for most of the game while also forcing a pair of interceptions.

 

The Eagles will stick around town next weekend when they host their regular-season finale against the Bonduel Bears. NEW Radio Sports Network will broadcast the game on 102.1 MORE FM with Tim Kowols and Bryan Mazur on the call beginning at 6:30 p.m. with the pregame show followed by kickoff at 7 p.m.
