The Southern Door defense stiffened up at each moment Ozaukee threatened to score on Friday in the Eagles 27-0 rout. It wasn’t all smooth sailing from the beginning as Southern Door had two trips where they entered the red zone in the first quarter but neither ended in a score. One possession ended on downs and another resulted in an interception near the goal line by Ozaukee’s Phillip McClarty. With a minute and thirty-seven seconds left in the first quarter the Eagles got on the board with a touchdown pass from outside the red zone on a pass from Jack Peterson to Drew Daoust, who weaved his way through traffic en route to his first of two scores on the night. 

In the second quarter Jonas Jandrin got his first touchdown of the season to put Southern up 14-0. With just over a couple of minutes left before half, Peterson hit Daoust for a 31-yard touchdown on a broken play while scrambling to his left. That led the Eagles into halftime with a 21-0 lead. In the second half, Southern Door shut down scoring threats by blocking an Ozaukee field goal from 25 yards out, and forcing a turnover on downs as Ozaukee was in the red zone. Southern Door extended their lead to 27-0 when Jared Hawkey made a big play. Peterson gave Hawkey a chance to make a contested catch and Hawkey was able to tip the ball up to himself and fight for the goal line and the score that would end all hopes of a comeback for the Warriors. 

The Eagles are now 2-0 and face Colby on Friday, September 3rd at 7:00 PM in Brussels.
