Friday night was one to forget for Southern Door football, who lost 52-7 to the Colby Hornets. The Eagles fell behind after the opening drive by Colby, when running back Mason Voss had a four yard touchdown. Southern Door turned the ball over on downs the ensuing drive. The signal caller for the Hornets, Brent Jeske, took a quarterback keeper into the endzone in the first quarter and the score was then 14-0. On the final play of the first quarter, Jeske hit Caden Healy who went up the visitor sideline for a 43 yard touchdown, and after the two point conversion the score was 22-0. The play was set up by an interception by Colby’s Brandon Voelker. 

Within a minute of the second quarter starting, Colby added to their lead after an interception by Voss was returned for a score. The pick-six was one of two times Colby forced a Peterson interception. With a 28-0 lead, Colby scored again on a 70-yard run from Jeske, which made the score 34-0. The Colby lead increased to 40-0 with a 21-yard Mason Voss touchdown run shortly before the halftime break. 

Drew Daoust played the second half at quarterback as Peterson nursed an injury on the sideline. Early in the second half, Colby’s Grant Oelrich got a strip-sack on Daoust and Colby turned into a 40-yard touchdown run from Voss moments later, to go up 46-0. Luke Olson got his first career touchdown for Southern Door, as the freshman running back scored on a 10-yard dash. Gavin Voss ended the scoring for Colby and made the game 52-7. In a bright spot for Southern Door, defensive lineman Joe Haberli got an interception. The pick happened when Colby had a botched snap on a punt and Haberli intercepted a throw from Tristen Strange. Southern Door is now 2-1 and opens up conference play on the road on Friday, September 10th against Mishicot.
