The Southern Door Eagles football team saw their comeback fall just out of reach Friday night, falling to Brillion 14-6 on the road.

 

Defense ruled the night early as both teams made big stands during big drives to take the game into the half at 0-0.  The Eagles would strike first early in the third quarter as Alex Daoust used his legs first for a long gain before punching it in from three yards out to make it 6-0. The extra point was blocked and the Lions would take the lead later in the quarter when Sam Galoff scored from a yard out and drilled the extra point. The Lions would ice the game with less than two minutes remaining in the game when Carter Stebane scampered in from nine yards out and Galoff converted on the extra point.

 

The  Eagles would make one final push towards the Lions' red zone. In the closing moments, Daoust found an open receiver in the endzone for what appeared to be a last-second touchdown. Instead, the referees ruled he was out of bounds and the game ended in disappointment for the Eagles. Southern Door ended their truncated campaign 4-4.
